Guild Wars 2

After about 4 weeks or so, i finally reached level 80. Had about 90k Karma, didnt spent anytin and since then i´m beatin and getting beaten in Wv3 for about a month.

3600 Kills, 780 deaths, 1100 Badges of Honour and 410k Karma all this while “staying” semi-hardcore, of course i was at few Stonemist Concerts during the last month, but you got admit the Band simply rocks!

Seriously, you get enough BoH for a few legendaries and Wv3 is maybe the best place to farm for Karma and still have fun (Zerg, Roamer, Doylak, Sentries, “smaller zergs”, camp, defend towers/keeps etc..)

4h+ daily (depending the heavy action in Wv3), a month later you have enough Karma and Skill Points and BoH for many things.

THE GAME IS 2 months old!

Bump# (Siriuz Bizniz this is!)

Is there are reason, why the Karma points are not available to all the character of one account?

I think, it should be shared across every toon of your account. What can you do, once you hit the 1min mark? Get a legendary, sure.. in a year or two. By then i have 10mio. Karma and can´t use´em for notin except for 1x armor set in the Orr region with a somewhat-weird design.

My inquiry is :

Can we expect Karma to be shared among all toons of one account and why can we not buy every dungeon set with Karma?

You could even trade Tokens for Karma, for those that love to farm dungeons and make it worthwhile for them (ex : 100 tokens give 10k karma).

(i reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallly need 2x Noble Man sets or maybe even 3, but i don´t have the time with Wv3, alts to farm dungeons)

We need more Armor sets, that can be bought via Karma Points – this is a fact (1x set only right now and few vanity ones), so allow players to buy dungeon sets via Karma for the 42k Karma per piece or even more (100k per piece).

Just a thought,
Kyma

There are two options for us and other in the same boat as Piken Square.

a) Shutdown servers when we go to sleep (EU) or make the remaining ppl. 3124512% stronger/tough

b) Invite US/OC Guild over and have phun together, they can even RP during their Wv3 raids.

There are enough RP guilds to roleplay-with. Wv3 (US, OC, or other EU) Guilds (early day-time), those primarly have one goal only in GW2 -> WvWvW.

The big guilds and every other contributing to the success in WvWvW via $$$ (upgrades), won´t do this for much longer. What is the reason to continue, if you lose everyting in a matter of 6h (1am til 7am in the morning).

And since Anet already has said, that Night Capping is ok, the only way to be good at Wv3 is by having a 24/7 Wv3 acivity.

Commander Spaghetti here!

Time to face the true enemy, the enemy we all hate, we all despise.

NIGHT CAPPERS! We are coming, we are preparing for 24/7 Battle-GALORE! We are gearing up, we are going to be a considerable force in zeh Universe. NIGHT CAPPING ain´t going to stop us no more! With me, Commander Spaghetti, we will fight hard, we will fight our enemy with the same love! Arborstone belongs to the past, once WE have a bigger army!

Time to fight back the Night Capp´ers? >.< /cough

The Piken Square Army needs you! WE seek more US/OC/JAPANESE, TAIWANESE, CHINESE, CANADIAN-ESE, LATINO-ESE and everyone around zeh world-ese guilds to help us out, to fight back the bad boys/girls. WE need YOU! NAO!

If you fulfill the requirements, Commander Spaghetti will direct you to our nearest Encampment in Piken Square Borderlands for some Abba-tunes, dwarven ale and maybe some story telling.

Here the Requirements to be part of our select-Army :

- there is none! We are a rabid, we are ferocious, do not DARE TO BITE us! Grrrr (should be the noise of a wild animal feline, think they sound like that, Grrrr or mabye more a Gwarrh, you know, emphasis on G for Great Supreme Force of Guild Wars 2) – Army.

- On a serious note, recommend by my cardiologist :

Have fun, enjoy the game. You like to WehWehWeh? Wanna join the army? We have many rp-fans and non-rp fanatics, we respect each other, and i hope, if you decide to join us, that you act accordingly, that you behave and accept the fact :

Piken Square is the unoffical RP Server in the EU Zone.

Over and Out, Commander Spaghetti salutes you! WE need more 6pm GMT-5 Guilds, NAO!

Soulbound to the character. You can´t transfer the gear or sell´em over at the BLTP.

Upgrade the tower and keep before leaving the house. Add Siege weapons, catapults, arrowcart etc.. bring some Blueprints with you, and supplies (always).

Don´t hesitate a second, SIMPLY use a blueprint when you are facing a e-zerg (ask in /T). What is the point in exchanging “normal attacks”.. when you can nullify that with just 1 Ballista and Arrowcart?

The norn have maybe the best looking heavy armor ingame, only avaib. to them

Tier 3 Cultural Heavy Armor, (full black)

I´v tried it and i wanted to like it, but Bull Charge just simply fails to impress me.

It does knock´down your target, but it also leaves you 5m from your opponent, making the build pretty much “pointless”, since the skills have a whooping up to 60/80 seconds of cooldown.

The only reason to be using this build, is just because of the legendaries. They look “kwel”, and i guess is the main-incentive for many out there to keep using a 100B Build.

To over come the BC-Bug (where you rush through an opponent, knock´ddown…), one has to stun first the target, this way BC will not fail and you can use the 100B Skill quite often (frenzy every 60s)..

Sword #2 -> (if you are fast, add fear me here, prior to) Sword #3 -> Mace #5 or Shield #4 -> Bull Charge followed by Frenzy and EP (once every 60/80 seconds), target should be out of combat thanks to cripple, stun (+confusion), bleeds ( and fear + knock down for ca. 6econds (many will try to remove a condition or some, making them even more vulnerable, not paying attention)..

{sfme}

To be honest with you all, this does not bother me much. Sure, it is annoying to get hit or even killed by a hidden thief, but keep in mind :

When the 3 server decide, it´s time to retake Stonemist, well with all the Siege Weapons and the particle effects and the amount of player and none players on screen, don´t you think that this might be a simple server/client issue, maybe even because the connection (latency) btw. server<->client is high and yhis could probably be the culprit in this matter?

My adivce : avoid big zergs (3 server at one spot), try to divide the power into smaller teams(objectives, 4 maps) and i´m sure 99% of the WvWvW fanbase are still going to have a lot of fun, while we wait for an official statement.

(do some sPvP or craft for Legendaries, more than enough content out there, WvWvW is just one part of the cake)

Is the server not already “working at max. capacity”?

Thanks for your reply.

€dit: yep, full.

If im correct, CTRL + T only works in a party-setup.

Sitting at 2500 attack and armor (magic find gear), did manage to win a 3vs1 scenario (levelupto 80 or not). And yep, with a rifle we deal some nice damage, few shots and most are at 50%, but come on— who wants to play a warrior with a rifle?

It´s like playing a 8´25" tall norn-thief with 5-inch daggers, that can´t be right? :)

Btw. this is the generic build i´m using to face zergs and ganking´em

This one also could be a potential “griefer” in a zerg encounter (yet to try)
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQNAS8ejcO1uVPuQMxBE0DsgL2CjCjQ8SKEjBE

The build is very flexible, since you have 20 in tactics you can swap out the major triats for something that benefits your team (+70 power etc.)

And yes, i´m the average Joe! ;)

Have to emphasis on my playtime, GMT-5 (8 or 10am>) this may be too early for most of you. Thanks to everyone for the PMs.

Currently on YB.

Playing a “condition” spammer- with swords ain´t a viable option either, every class can remove conditions easily. To be effective, you have to cover up the bleeds with other conditions and hope, the mesmer, the thief, the enemy you are facing is not going to remove them instantly.. and how can we accomplish that as a warrior ?

Stun with a shield and trait Confusion (power) and cripple, maybe..

Hi,

the topic of this thread is :

“What is the reason, to play a warrior in Guild Wars 2, where do you see a warrior outshine other classes?”

I´m really having some doubts with this class. A warrior stands no chance against a Guardian, Mesmer, Engineer or a Thief (all good ones, no wannbe 80s). Even some Ranger can be a pain, but those are “manageable”, like Elementalist are.

Heavy armor we can use? But it feels more like, we are wearing some cloth and 1 or 2 hits, we are already below 50% health or worse (with every boring trait kicking in, last stand? pfft, Defy Pain…). With open PvP i pers. don´t see a reason to use a warrior except for one thing :

Speed up the zerg! Absolutely nothing more.. got admit, im using MF Gear in WvWvW, because there is no money left to get a better set. (got the berserker one, improves a little the dps, nothing fancy though, nothing that is going to increase my survivablity by 50% or more).
—reason for this rant—
Did EB Darkroom puzzle, right before you go down into DR with the torches.. i was not able to deal with 1x mesmer what-so-ever, clone here, clone there, 2 hits im already using Endure Pain.. i did mange to immoblize him for 1!!! second, but the outcome was sentenced beforehand…. funny enough, i did win a 3vs1 fight (openfield) against a Thief, Ele and Eng. (prolly all level´dup to 80), it didnt last very long this “happiness” sensation.

Stats:
2500 attack, 2500 armor, 22000 HP, something like this. The class simply has compared to others, more weakpoints than anything else. We can not hide, we can not clone ourself, we can not use portals (like having a 3rd dodge!), we can not swap position and avoid attacks, we can not “debuff”, we are just meat shields and very weak at that.

Heavy armor class and with zero mitigation, same as with GW1! Feels more like i´m playing a Barbarian (AOC) with cloth armor, pure dps (greatsword/axe) but squishy like butter.

Thanks for reading, retraitng back to greatsword (not a fan of it) or dual Axe and send my warrior on a pilgrimage to Valhalla.

IS this really the WM Guild from Guild Wars 1 (2005?), im asking since in the forums it says, that your main guild is : Dark Hand. Care to clarify this please, thanks.

And what is your main-focus, PvX or sPvP like in the old days.. or a bit of everything (semi hardcore) ?

Take care,
Kyma

Hello folks!

I´m looking for a guild with the follwing “attributes” :

- PvX (guild that covers every aspect of the game with a casual attitude/approach)
- like minded ppl. 20+ having fun with GW2
- has to be active, events (daily or weekkly, WvWvW excursion, Dungeons)
- international (24/7)- [US/EU/OC would be awesome]
- enough players to chat and group with, helpful and friendly with 1% drama calories
- Chat Guilds are tabou!

What are my goals in Guild Wars 2 and what can i offer?

To enjoy the most of it, while still be able to play an offline game once in a while or to take a break when needed. Played Guild Wars 1 since the e3demo back 2003?/4, got 2 years of Lord of the Rings Online – expierence and people know me as a friendly guy, who helps others out, when ever he(i) can. Help others and get help in return (PvX) . EU or US Server don´t matter really, but :

I´m from the old continent, this might be a problem with some US guilds, i usually play between 11am and 4pm GMT-5. Hope to find a great guild/community this way, i´m kinda done with the “hopping” every 24h and i hope to find a new home :)

Send me a PM or reply here

Thank you for reading,
Kyma

€dit : Level 80 Warrior (Hammer) and 4 other toons

Did you also calculate how much you have to pay for a legendary weapon, in $ or €?

1 x legd. weapon will cost you (if you farm/grind everything yourself) about 400gold + hours of enjoyment, that´s about 1400€ (1 ingame gold = 3€ 50(ca. 5$) , 800 gems 10€ = worth 2g 84s).

Hello folks!

My suggestion would be : to add a district (layer) on the maps or to update/adjust the Overflow server to accommodate all type of players (casual, hardcôre etc..)..

Right now, when you enter a new map (like Queensdale) and there are just too many on the map playing, you get “transfered” to the Overflow Server. This way, you can still enjoy the game and have fun. A great implementation!

Yet, there is a little problem : What about those server with a low/medium playerbase, i´m still unsure where to play the next 10 years ;). I´m now in a level 70 zone, where ppl. just don´t care about doing DE or simply refuse to co-operate.

What im trying to explain is, we need an alternative/or updated version of the Overflow System. One, that keeps revery zone/map equally “populated”.. if you are on a small server and are level 60+, you are probably going to skip most of the (bigger) DEvents, because there are just not enough ppl. to play with.. how about to add a button, that allows player to enter the Overflow server at will? (only works on maps, where the threshold is not reached).

This way, every one profits! No need to transfer anymore, since every map will have enough ppl. to quest with or more ppl. who DO care about doing dynamic events.

5h left and i´m going tp transfer again, for the 87th time.

Hello Ex-Kinmate and Officer, good to see you here. Hope, you and your better half are having fun with Guild Wars 2!

It is somehow strange, not to be in the same Kinship anymore. Most from the other Game are on Borlis Pass and Blackgate, if you decide to transfer again that is.

Ex-Guardian Kyma
Cheerio!
