It takes 220 people to generate skill lag.
Where’d you get that stat from?
‘cuz I’m pretty sure it ain’t that simple.
He knows a guy who is friends with a guy who is married to woman who was once in love with the mail man who has a kid that mowed the lawn a wet nurse that once saved the life of a puppy who later on pooped on an anet employee’s shoes.
Just constantly join their LFG that sells, at the very least they will have ot kick you. If you want to get really advance group up with the others who got kicked. Then merge parties, as soon as you see their name start kicking them. at the very least you will get lucky and kick the creator and make them restart the dungeon again.
Bump, good guild. Had some fun last night with some speedy dungeon runs.
I want to put in my feelings first before I make my suggestions to you. First I don’t think condition or that tanky of a build is needed in PvE, there is already a pleturea of PvE build discussion about tank vs serker. While I won’t carry the Zerker flag, I don’t think pure tank or Condi is the way to go and definitely not as effective for the group.
That said if you must have X/X/30/30/X build
I would 0/10/30/30/0 is better. LB+S/S. http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/
Full Dire or Dire/Rabid hybrid if you want a bit more bleeds. My buddy says it’s alright for dungeons (he was too lazy to swap it out). But a hybrid build that usually works decently is just the skull crack build and a few weapon swap and you have a decent PvE build. Though personally I’ve never done skull crack WvW or pvp so I don’t know, I just know my buddy has some pretty good successes with it.
Looking for a Dungeon running guild for me and my gf to join. We are part of a WvW guild on SoR and if your guild has a strict represent code then we can’t join, we will rep when we are running dungeons or any events with you, but know that our WvW guild comes first.
If you can get past that then a little bit about us. I am a PvX player, my gf has not played any games till recently so gaming, not just PvE is new to her. I’m introducing her to various aspects of the game and one that she enjoys the most is gathering armor and weapon skins, one that she recently found that she wants to work towards for her lowbie is Arah set, so I had to re-familiarized myself with the dungeon, but finding a group that will work with newbs is hard and I don’t want people raging quitting on her and demoralize her. Though we will be gunning for Arah mostly, we will do other dungeons as well, CoF, CoE, and TA are all very familiar to us, and I can do many others if anyone needs help.
We are fully geared with Exotics or higher if you need to know.
Not sure if this is still active but I’m posting for me and my gf.
Name: Keiel.7489
Profession: Thief/Warrior/Guardian
Traited: All Zerkers, other gear also available.
Experience: Use to do them often 6+ months ago, just started back up, familiar with P1-3 and some 4.
Time: 12AM server time – 9AM weekdays. Weekends, whenever if I have no plans.
Other: I’ve done Arah a while ago and my gf recently got into the game so I am showing her around, she wanted to get some Arah armor but is very new to gaming in general. I can explain fights and such to her but just need a group to work through the fights. Generally boss fights is ok but she needs help on trash skips.
Her:
Name: Vespa.1790
Profession: Thief
Traited: All Zerkers, can swap to more def if needed.
Experience: TA, CoE, CoF. No Arah experience other than watching me play P1-3.
Time: 12AM server time – 9AM weekdays. Weekends, whenever if I have no plans.
Other: Super newbreignsupreme.
I recently went through P1-3 again (also tried 4 but person who open the path ragequit) after 6-7 months, I found Path 1 to be the easiest, I think the hardest part was the trash runs. It could also be because Lupi in that fight went a lot smoother.
There’s some suspicion that minions and maybe even siege count as (perhaps fractions of) a player.
That would make Pet Necro more useless.
Warrior, the manliest class.
Defending competently is also an option.
This ^^. If you are losing a fully upgraded keep to 3 superiors, the problem is defenders who do not know what they are doing.
Try this on realms that struggle with coverage, this means you need 4-5 defenders on superior arrowcarts to have some chance to counter superior rams, imo they should be nerfed or gates needs to have a health buff, its simply too much.
Yeah I love how all these people from blob servers come on here and talk about how easy defense is. Lol, they just like superior rams because they’re the one’s running around in 60 person zergs throwing down 3 and 4 superior rams and melting gates in mere seconds.
3 superior acs cannot stop 3 superior rams when a 40 person blob is at the gate. With Ele’s throwing down waterfields it just negates the ac damage. And the ac’s can’t destroy the rams before they’re through the gate.
People saying otherwise don’t know what they’re talking about.
You guys do realise Omne is on NSP server right? they are one of the inbetween servers of Bronze and Silver league and has ben put in Silver for this match up. So I’m sure they have some idea of being outblobbed.
1. If you can’t muster up a force to break out of your spawn camp how are you planning to take a tower or a keep from BG even if they “let” you out?
2. If you aren’t smart enough to use the side exits to by pass the main entrance, then you proably would make this post.
Trait template is almost out of the question now that ANet are selling those re-trait gizmos on the TP.
They wanted to make it inconvenient enough for you to buy them, ergo, no templates/presets whatever you want to call them.
They can just sell “build slot” tabs in the hero’s panel for a marker up price. Once bought you can assign a build to it which you can swap out at lets say 10s(marked up from class trainer) anytime you want. But if you want to change any of the tab then you need to go t oa class trainer or have the gizmo bought to retrait those.
I would not mind paying premium for this feature, and I think Anet would make a good chunk of change from a lot of players this way as PvEers and WvWers love to change specs more than they do their underwear.
Why would they do that?! What they have now is the gift that keeps on giving! That is unless this tab costs a lot of gems (perhaps this idea was considered already or something similar but deemed less profitable)…Call me a pessimist but I don’t see things changing here.
Template Tab is basically a huge quality of life change, and Anet really doesn’t need to charge a whole lot for it. There are tons of Alt-aholics who would constantly buy tabs for them. Limiting the tabs to max of 3-4 would still not satisfy people, they would still keep a reserve of the gizmo just in case there is that rare chance their 4 tabs doesn’t cover the base of every build they need for a situation.
Currently I think the Gizmo is about 3-4g of crystal exchange ea? There will be people who spend that much to have a reserve ready, or in a bind (fractasl or if they are in a dungeon they opened and really need to change specs) but aside from that people would rather WP to LA and change specs (about 8 silver for WP, spec change, and WP back).
If the price is reasonable people would be more willing to buy more of it rather than be cautous and possibly only buying 1 extra tab on their most played character. A little from everyone is better than a lot from a few.
If you are dead set on Celestial armor, then as most people have stated 30 days is what you are looking at. Ascended Trinkets is easily gotten daily and faster than the armor itself (which is the only odd thing I find). 2 Rings, 20 days max of doing 1 set of fractals daily, can easily do 4 a day and get it in 5 days or less because if you get lucky and get a ring drop, bam! Ascended Neck – Laurels. Ascended Accessories, 4 weeks max if you only do guild missions. Ascended Weapons can drop and you can also craft them, by far the only thing that is hard in the ascended category that requires anything that you normally wouldn’t do dailies for.
There is only a few class/spec that actually benefit from this armor set anyways even though it has superior stat totals. But I’m going t odive out of the way before “I play how I want” convo starts. I too am slowly building on Quartz Crystals and plan on making a set, but I am waiting for Ascended to be released so I don’t need to save up another month or more to get a full set.
To those on SoR who wants to play king maker in match 7, you should also try to play hard next match. Even if you don’t win next match, as long as you keep the match close to the end of the week, BG’s guilds will get tired and may affect their performance against JQ in week 5:)
I’ll see if I can break my leg this weekend so I don’t have to work next week and stay home and play.
Few things. I am part of 5 guilds ATM. 1 is my main guild, the one I will represent unless of a specific event. 1 is my bank guild. 1 is for tequatl (TTS), 1 is a guild of my friends from my old server and we play on different servers now, we still get togehter and sPvP at times and finally 1 guild is for Guild Missions.
Generally I will only represent my main guild, but if I am doing activities with another guild and they ask, I will represent them. With that said, every guild knows I am mainly in another guild, and my main guild knows that I represent other guilds at time to do stuff with them. Aside from WvW, which I always represent my main guild I am free to represent whichever. Does that mean I am unloyal to my guild? No, my WvW guild is smallish and knows they can’t provide those other things (Organising teq, Guild missions). Plus on SoR all the guilds are pretty supportive of each other so we often join up on each other guilds to do stuff to help each other.
In the contrast, my old guild from my old server, we can only represent them, and after a few warnings (usually 2) you get the boot. There are of course exceptions, but generally it’s up to the leadership to enforce it. As some have said the only feature they need Anet to provide them with is /G (which I agree) if you don’t create the community within the game for your own guild, there isn’t any feature that can keep them from leaving. Creating events which makes you -need- a guild isn’t a good envirorment (such as hardcore WoW raids ect..) because players need to be in one to perform as oppose to them wanting to be in one.
As you have said there is nothing stopping people from representing other guilds, but if my guild leader one day logs in and say that he doesn’t want anyone representing other guilds. I would have no problems, features such as Tequatl and Guild Missions is not really worth losing my guild over, what those things offer I can get by other means.
EDIT: By no means am I saying Anet should not add more features for guild specific events or instances, I am saying that those things should be icing and not the cake.
(edited by Keiel.7489)
I kind of agree that Silver Doubloons are redonkulous to acquaire. The grind is pretty similar to some of the lodestone grinds though, I’ve gone through chains of dungeons without one. The only differences is as you stated, not normal 80 end game grind.

I would say Mesmer if your group is actually set up in a group play (build to support each other, not 5 1v1 builds running in close proximity to each other). With your group comp you already can bring damage, CC, and condition clears. A mesmer can add in veil, mass invis, portal and time warp. A mesmer in small group fight can also be great help as a “force multiplier” soaking up AoE damage/CC and such with their clones and general confusion(not the condition) no matter the spec.
I’m still not sure why we are on the topic of who outnumber who at what time. Does it matter to you that much that BG PVD at times we are not as active? Do you log in and can’t find anyone to fight? or are you jealous that BG gets to PvD and you aren’t?
23 runs for a full set of Arah.
115 gold at the cheapeast and it will take 23 days.
In 23days, you can probably learn all 4 paths and gotten your set from playing the fast paths. I guess I am just jealous because I didn’t think of this before =(.
16-20g/run if you can fill a full group.
WvW. It works in roams and probably small man. I had issues with it before because it was hard to time my interrupts due to terrible lag. Maybe it’s a T1 thing but I suggest you use stomp if you expect to get overrun often, when you get locked down stomp can break stun, give stability and then intterupt your attackers, giving a hefty 9 stacks of confusion for all of them.
Warriors were most played before the 10/30/30 build became big, they will still be big after. (unless you’re talking about sPvP)
Joining in late, but has anyone suggested lowering the population cap in conjunction with changing the maps and making more BLs?
If we remove the current BLs and add in 6(or 9) smaller BLs with lower population cap. Larger servers can still have players WvW, but the population advantage will be much less noticable.
If the large server can fill the old BLs with ques, lets say of 120/map. those players could still be in WvW but instead they will be 60 and 60. While the smaller population server, who might have only 60 or less can still put up a fight in one of their BL or even hold it, since they are not swamped by a force twice their size on every map. They can make the choice to abandon one and hold another.
Mid tier fights, should see increase activity during normal NA times, but in the off hours where server with night time advantages will see less of a blowout.
Numbers I throw out are arbitrary, obviously we should tweak them to the server demands.
some guys are slacking! where are the animated gifs and the trolls.
shifty? starscream? i love reading your posts.

So I’ve been playing GW2 ALOT, and I’ve really enjoyed it, until i got to level 23 and realized…
Really?
Unless you’ve play mainly only Asian MMO’s (L2 ect) level 23 is hardly anything and no one’s really going to have armor diversity before max level. People level up and move on, the truly epic armor should be at max level, the most variet should be at max level, because that is part of the end game.
Sounds like anotehr casual player who wants to be on par with the hardcore player.
I casually play 1-3 hours a day average and can take breaks whenever I want and still get top tier gear. Even after a 5 month break it took me about a day to get re-acquainted with my characters (its like 14 buttons max) and in that time they’ve release 1 extra slot of ascended gear (weapons) and multiple other ways to get the old Ascended gear.
I’ve beaten their “Hardest” boss with equipment I already have, I’ve ran throug hall of their dungeons, fractals included, with pugs.
If I wanted to PvP, everything is free and I can swap anytime I like, try new builds ect.
WvW is persistent so I can join and play that mode anytime, join up with pug commanders or a guild of my chosing, there is no hard requirement other than my own wants.
GW2 is super casual if you stop comparing yourself to hardcores or just regulars.
Some of it might be oldish, but the general theory is there. It was originally compiled By Nike which is in the same guild as Brazil (DnT).
I find that the lower the fractal level the longer the run is…
well:
3300×14(gems per gold)=46200 gems
46200/1000=46.2
46.2×5=231
if you plan on using the hair styling kit more than 231 times in your GW2 life time then it’s worth it, I’m not sure if the styleing kit becomes Soulbound or stay account bound after use though. If it remains account bound, I would say it’s totally worth it in the long run.
Staff guardian. If you aren’t specc’ed a particular way it might be debatable, but properly specced you are a tagging king.
what spec?
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQJAWBiQyeAAHoCC
Anything not filled out you can use your imagination. The main thing is Permeating Wrath and Supreme Justice. your Staff Auto will pretty much proc AoE burning, I suggest having +conduration to mitigate those who have -condamage, because if your burn doesn’t tick for at least 1 sec you do no damage with it and thus not tagged any target. Plus you’ll be helping even less. There is a decent DPS build with it less tanky than the normal build but stacking properly you shouldn’t see much of a difference.
Also you can pretty much just swap GS out for Hammer. Currently when I am using my farm bot, I just stay on Staff most of the time and do about 1-2k crit damage (before burning) on staff 1, I don’t have any cond damage gear, the burn is just a bit extra spice.

I like how some people think the yare entitled to gems if they earned gold and that the price should be normalised to be more affordable for them. The exchange is just an extra feature for those who have excess gold and want to buy gems with or vice versa a legal way to buy gold with real money. The system made for the players to balance it out themselves, normalising it to a certain rate would mean Anet has to infuse the system, losing out on gem sales themselves.
I have found that making money on the TP via crafting is possible, and massive amounts of it if you plan and dedicate your time to it. I believe there are also some lucky players who play the fast sell game and make cash quickly. In general though I dismiss most claims of instant gold from the TP. But the biggest rule in any money making program is that you need money to make money.
You don’t need much to start but you do need more if it if you want to see any large margin of profit. I only dabble with it now and then, and of course I play the long game too, when I have too much gold in my bag, I buy stuff that I know will steadily increase over time (I know with GW2 its hard to know when Anet will do something that will change the dynamics of the TP but, some items are “safe”), I buy it to basically keep up with inflation, as gold sitting in your bag is basically losing its worth over time.
I found a few items you can make and sell in mass and get a good profit returns, but it takes a bit of time to do, and I rather have 2nd account to do that, even though it really is just 15 mins of watching the bar move from left to right, it feels boring.
the problem is: ppl say that lv 1 bought the game and desrves to get into wvw
but i also bought the game and i also spent my time pve’ing to get to 80 and get good gear, do i not deserve to wvw with 80 and not rally bots?
there is nothing more frustrating when i put effort into downing enemy and yet they rally because there is uplv mindlessly running around like a chicken spamming 1
it is not elitism, it is about effectivness; i want to have fun doing wvw, i do not have it when i watch half of the group getting downed because they just left character creation screen while there are a lot of good wvw’ers sitting in queue for hour
Don’t worry, Anet already saw a problem in this and since launch and until now they have hated kitten level 1s. Hated them so much that they have, and still not allowed to WvW, but instead forced to do some dumb racial story instance.
but I’m flattered that you take more of an interest in me rather than adressing what I had to say about your topic despite not taking me seriously at all.
Prunecrakers probably should get friends or read the forums more often…
Your disguised, passive-aggressive personal attack was rather uncalled for from the beginning, hence me taking you not seriously whatsoever. And I have tried searching to forums for information on a release date for Ascended Armor, but excuse me for not wanting to sit down and go through the entire archives of the Guild Wars 2 forums to find the information. I was actually rather hoping a dev would see this thread and be able to give me a simple answer, not someone who’s just going to be passive-aggressive and just give a vague answer with a backhanded tone.
I addressed your made up character in a smart- kitten way because that’s how I percieved that made up scenario. There was no need for it to be set that way, so I replied in a similar manner. Everything else in my original post remained the same, no points would be alter minus my tone.
They need to buy guilds, they need to buy off people, they need to get on our TS and recruit, and they need to double team us. Don’t deny it everyone knows this and if you don’t then pull your head out of your kitten and stop being pathetic. Anyway, you need to do all that to beat us which speaks volumes for how bad you really are…oh you are winning season, guess what doing what you been doing to win it does not make you good. Sad thing is they either won’t admit it or they are to kitten to know it, either way everyone knows they are pathetic including themselves.
Harsh, you might want to uninstall GW2 and take a breather bro.
I do talk like that in real life, wether you believe it or not is up to you, what you assume might have happened is still up to you. My tone is a matter-of-fact in response to what I believe to be a sense of entitlement.
Not much of a sense of entitlement as much as frustration with how indirect Anet can be with the information they give out on updates and how they always seem to push back certain updates which can cause many players to get upset with what to do with their capital. But yes, please continue on with your attitude, I can tell from your tag that this venomous behavior is probably coming from your frustration with not being the “best server of all time” anymore.
And actually on a side note, you should probably work on not being so venomous with people in real life, I know of a few people who would not take kindly to your “matter-of-fact” approach.
Actually it’s just a poor assumption, my attitude towards you have nothing to do with how my server is performing, most of my post in my match ups have been to promote good fights and not anywhere near what I am saying to you, and what I am saying to you is hardly venomous, just pointing out your misplaced “frustration”. but I’m flattered that you take more of an interest in me rather than adressing what I had to say about your topic despite not taking me seriously at all.
After ONE, TW and FEAR triple guild blob our 25 man guild group.
Lord Leader Fearless Pryan from TW: “Quit your kittening” and “why dont you call Agg in?”
1 hour later, Lowlands keep belongs to “T5 SoS”. NICE, looks like there is no where but the spawn to hide. Don’t camp your blob in the keep or we’ll just take it
TYou should actually be thanking Pryan for telling you to bring in AGG, without them you looked like an average T5 guild in the field.
https://dviw3bl0enbyw.cloudfront.net/uploads/forum_attachment/file/103750/gw118.jpg
wait what? Ohhhh LOL i forgot about this!!!!
:DWow!!! GOOD MEMORIES with TW!!!
I think your skills were recharging?
This has nothing to do with helping you pick a server. Depending on the level of character you manage to get and how attached you are to that character(s) you can delete all of your character and transfer for free. Anything you want to save item wise you can just put in your bank and it will still be there when you make a new character in you new world.
Also, IMO starting new and I am not sure how much gaming experience you have, but I would delete all my characters to get the free transfer unless I have a level 80 character already.. well maybe 60.
I think you are confusing needs and wants. Some of you want to use those builds now. You actually can use those builds now, you just need to be more powerful via stats, the exotic version of those stats are already available. You are basically assuming the majority of players will have those gear for every spec they like before you, in reality they are using the build that they have the gear for while working for their next set, like the majority of players.
I would be able to take you more seriously if you didn’t seem incredibly disrespectful with your tone. I would be afraid to see what would occur if you talked so condescendingly to someone like that in real life.
I do talk like that in real life, wether you believe it or not is up to you, what you assume might have happened is still up to you. My tone is a matter-of-fact in response to what I believe to be a sense of entitlement.
many games have automatic loot, idk why thise one doesn’t
Many games doesn’t have WvW. I dunno why this one does.
Heard a BG commander rage quit on BG BL not too long ago.
I heard a whole SoR wvw rage quited since reset night.
That’s ok we’re having more fun collecting loot. Got my third precursor.
Did Anet do something to the precursor drop rate? cos I got the legend on friday and someone else in the guild also got another precursor, and i have heard a number of people have gotten them since then too, or it could be i have noticed it more since i got mine
Should’ve kept your mouth shut, now Anet is going to nerf precursor drops.
Don’t be silly, ANET doesn’t read this thread.
Tell that to my infractions =(

Or they can just craft with the time-gate. It’s not like they need the weapons right now anyway. As you have said, “most players don’t have the money to just buy all the materials to skip the time-gates.” I would say even more don’t have the money to buy all the materials to begin with. With most people, the time-gate won’t be a hindrance, but rather a pacer to help them not feel inferior.
But some of us DO need the gear right now at this moment, and it’s kind of a really big pain when the minimal wait time to use a certain build is an entire month.

“To the VICTOR, go the spoils”
He was the victor, which Is why a bag/chest dropped.
Yeah like when I tag a bunch of people with my Staff 1, I sit around and wait for my victories to come piling up.
If by impact you mean largish upfront damage, Go warrior, their role in the gorup is very large even if the current meta is HammerStun warriors. There is actually quite a few other roles they can fill and you are up front in the action. The same can be said about Guardians who spec a bit more offensively than defensive.
But staff ele’s make huge impact in any large group fights, especially since there is a lack of them. Nearly every roll call starts with how many staff ele’s we have, Hammerstun is assumed to have and if we have none, it actually doesn’t change how people run at all.
Why red? why not just do something that allows commanders to change the color of their tags to one they like, so we can have a more effective way of having multiple commanders on the field without the need to just join their squad. though a blue and a Red tag probably suffice but in the cosmetic world anymore colors is just more appealing and allows that small joy people have.
I’m a primary WvW player, but I don’t really see a point or reason on making a WvW specific tag and people trying to limit it to WvWers only. PvEers have the same right and need for tags and different tag colors, despite the premise that PvE is a snooze mode, and prior to some events I would have agreed that PvE doesn’t really need a commander (and personally I still don’t), but being in TTS and listening to their comms, I find that there are people who genuinely want to use that tag and use it efficiently in PvE. If you think massive blobs of pugs in WvW is hard to control, wait till you see the massive blobs of PvE.
Were we not fair and just overlords?
Didst we not deliver righteous justice to the glassiest of cannons?
Didst we not fell our foes in the most humane of manners, stunning them before the final blow, sparing them a painful death?
Wouldst thou go back to your necromancer rulers, those that burned and consumed their foes live, forcing their subjects to live in terror?
Ask yeselves this before you cryeth nerf.
nerfeth*
Norn, Sylvari and Human have the same animation so it gets old watching it. Char and Asura’s have thier own unique ones which makes it more interesting.
That being said, I like charr cultural more but very few other armor fits them well, Norn has a larger variety the ycan go with.
I think it would be good idea if last hit in chain would be 3 second stun.
Yeah.. what warrior’s really need is another reason for people to cry about stunbots.
