Guild Wars 2

Its enough if you stay away for 120s. After that it is save to come back

I would wager nothing happens with them, or only if someone gets an extreme amount of reports (like from 50+ different people).
Some people go afk almost every match and reported them does not seem to do anything.

Make your own raid squad if you do not want to play with meta builds
Meta builds arent exclusive to raids, if you play bad builds in dungeons / fractals you will likely get kicked, too.

Pure Heart.1456:

OK, straight up— How can you go past “Legendary Champion” as a title?

The term “legendary” in Guild Wars 2 is used to denote the pinnacle of achievement in terms of acquisitions, i.e. the top and final tier of weapons and armour. Likewise, the term “champion” is used to refer to the most powerful and dangerous enemies.

Therefore, the “Legendary Champion” title is unmatched—and can never be outdone by another title—in terms of nuance, at least.

The thing is this title would have been truly great. At release until some pvp rework patch later it took 2x r80 worth of pvp ranking points. And r80 itself took so long that noone was even close before the patch. Now Legendary champion is basically just r81 and r80 can be done in like 200 hours of pvp instead of years of pvp.

But for every new person getting into WvW, two older WvW players seem to be quitting at the moment

You are suggesting a whole new title system which would probably take much more effort than just changing the numbers.

Which might make up for the fact that they have neglected this community to a shameful degree.

After 3 years of quasi stagnation in WvW, I would be happy with smaller things already. Because lets face it, big stuff wont happen unless HoT magically raises the WvW players by x10

Probably an oversight, I cannot find any good reason for this. It was reported when the patch came out, but looks like Anet has more important issues with the patch

You are suggesting a whole new title system which would probably take much more effort than just changing the numbers.

Smart Anet changing around names however they like

Donari.5237:

I remain baffled as to why people care so much about the spirit shard drop rate. What on earth uses them up in such quantities that missing a few is horrible?

This is a serious question. I’m sure there is some useful thing to do with them and it involves using the Forge to make something profitable, but after 3 years in this game (I include beta play) I still don’t grok the Forge.

I am wondering the same. I am sitting on 5k+ shards and have no idea what to do with them other than building an exotic skin every now and then when the TP is right.

Yes some of them are harder to get than others, but that is what would make some colors more special than others…

How about this?

250 ectos = pink (like now)
250 t3 mist essences from fractals = green anomaly
250 time essences = grey/blue anomaly
250 dark matter = black anomaly
250 legendary luck essences = white anomaly
250 dragonite bars = yellow anomaly
250 bloodstone bricks = red anomaly
250 empyreal stars = royal blue anomaly

I like them animation/physics of these wings.

Maybe the mentality is different on our server because we are zerg heavy, but its actually a rarity to see normal siege being used here. Of course in a zerg supply is rarely a problem unless you walked through some supply draining cows.
Only in edge of the mists I see the vast majority in regular siege used.

So let me ask the question, what is the point and use for regular siege, if superior siege is barely more expensive to use, but 50% better (in terms of damage per siege slot, health points are the same)? Wouldnt it make sense to make superior baseline then, but make a new superior which is better, but much more expensive than now?
It feels a bit redundant to have superior siege, if you do not have to think about wether normal or superior siege is the way to go.
Currently I see plenty of commanders using superior siege for even unupgraded structures, just because they are not really expensive in the grand sheme of things.

Lightsbane.9012:

almost all of my time spent in game is spent in wvw
and almost three years later, i’m not even close to any of these achievements.

I believe it is the same way for everyone, the only one of the WvW achievements you can realistically (for hardcore players on blob heavy servers) finish is the 250k kill one. I havent heared of anyone completing any of the other achievements.

Regenas.6845:

Exclusive items are just an ego boost for some people.

Nothing wrong with it in a game about cosmetic progression instead of statistical progression.
People complain if people get stronger by playing much, people complain if others look special/better for playing longer/more. Looks like people never are happy.

aspirine.6852:

Malediktus.9250:

Superior siege is overpowered and should be harder to get if I think about it. Makes commanders think twice if they waste guild catas and superior rams for everything even if there is barely any defenders.

Rather normal siege is underpowered. You could not stop a zerg of ambient creatures with normal ac.

You can. You just need slightly more. 3 normal arrow carts are as strong as 2 superior. Same with any other siege except omega golems which just have ranged attacks and more health.

Thats why you have a zerg who donates blueprints to you. The commander isnt supposed to make them all by himself

Flip towers and keeps. Champ bags give more than plenty of skillpoints /shards.

Konig Des Todes.2086:

Meanwhile, in the Black Lion HQ, each weapon set gets their own unique NPC and a table to display one of the weapons from said set.

It shows Anets priorities. They also lowered the release intervall from 4-6 weeks to 2-3 weeks for black lion weapons.

I am perplexed why they didnt bring back the fountain. It was one of the most detailed animated object in the game, surely took 100s of hours to make it.
The new LA will never feel complete without the fountain.

I am not sure how I feel about this

Jaxom.7310:

have u tried the various option settings for ground targeting? casts were mouse is, click n release, something like that. think there are 3 options

Yes I did, my mouse is usually all over the screen and not where I want the skill to be. I usually used this as an “oh kitten ” button against projectile damage. Now I loose valuable time to aim it.

Please remove ground targetting from wall of reflection. It is very annoying to use now.

The scientist weapon cost 3 tickets at the vendor for recent sets, but only 1 ticket inside the black lion HQ.
I guess one of them is bugged…

Or encourage griefing if you port dolyaks into places where they cant leave.

Crossplay.2067:

Exclusive is the opposite of inclusive and the devs have made it clear they they want this game to be all about being inclusive. Also, on a personal level, I don’t not believe in punishing anyone whom has to be away from the game for an extended amount of time. Items can be harder to earn after the original event is over but every item should always be possible to obtain.

Actually they havent said if it includes cosmetic items.
Judging from certain items like mini llama, mini gwynefyrdd and the glorious hero armor sets I can say that inclusion does not include cosmetic items.

I dont mind (and even like) super exclusive cosmetics as long as they arent retroactively required for collection achievements (looking at you aether and fused skins)

Seems like a good suggestion, how would it count “hidden until unlocked” skins?

Malediktus.9250:

WvW has been a lot less fun to me ever since they nerfed stability, so I just go there to increase the WvW achievements now. I do not care if I waste thousands of supplies on walls who get trebbed

Wonder if Anet bans/suspends accounts that openly admit to supply griefing on the forums. Or if they still require video of it.

hardly griefing if you do achievements set by Anet

I see a lot of stuff in your bank that is not worth keeping such as the wintersday harvesting tools. I also would open the 28 login day reward box and take 20 laurels.

Hardly Anets fault if you have a hording issue.

Zephyra.4709:

I remember picking this thing up for around 600g. So glad I did. The prices now for it are a joke. How does that even happen.. sheesh.

I remember when that event ended, one of the people in my old guild bought about 20 molten jetpacks, essentially cornering the market with a handful of other people.

They kept supply at a minimum for a really long time….. and now there’s only one listed…. and he still has 17 of them left to sell.

Its like this with any item that has 0 supply. You can only win buy buying as many as possible of them when you have the chance. There are stacks of scythes, ghastly grinning shields, greatsaws etc left as well. But those people arent in a rush to sell them because they have enough gold already.

Same here, but it doesnt look any special. It is easy to miss. Plus the princess wand from wintersday looks very similar and much cheaper.

Enko.6123:

They’re adding daily map rewards that will have these as drops. Luckily only 4 recipes needs these and you need a total of 291.

Farming 291 eyes yourself without using the TP can easily take 100k hours.

I do not care what gets done about these achievements, about any solution would be an improvement to the current situation.

It definitely takes months to code and QA all a new recipe or item.

yhvh.8703:

Hahah, like many said. Nothing new, china gw2 just need less clicks.

So many legendaries on TP, you’ll never run out of a chance to buy them… if you open your RL wallet and convert gems > gold.

There are a few people who could each buy out all legendaries currently on the TP with their current ingame wealth, if they wanted.

coglin.1867:

Galandil.9641:

Greatest backpedaling ever.

They suggest a change. Get attacked for it. They revoke the change based on feedback. Get attacked for it.

And people wonder why they seem to avoid the forums

The playerbase is heterogene not homogene. So you will find people who are for and against everything no matter what.

I love this city.

…when will it be destroyed?

Is that a request?

Only if I get a refund for my royal terrace pass. I dont want to stand around in ruins all day

I hope it applies for weapons, too. Then I can unlock all the ascended weapon skins.

In China it costs around 50 USD. But the difference is it comes from the shop and not from the player economy

Sounds like a terrible idea which would make many vets quit
(I have 28k+ AP)

Not going to happen. They already said there will only be these 3 editions.
Also I think you are alone with your alternative wish.

Sounds immersion breaking. Monsters loosing health while no player in sight?

Nope. This is what legendary armor will be for if it ever comes.

I tried killing them inside the event ring, it also does not seem to gurante the event medal

Terrahero.9358:

If WvW stat boosts are removed (applied fort/strength) because of players getting a statistical advantage over new players, why in the godkitten is ascended still allowed and even getting buffed?

Talk about a statistical advantage. And it’s earned not so much through WvW but PvE. As outside of trinkets, every other ascended piece of gear (armor, weapons, back) are not practically available from WvW. (No i dont consider an ultra rare chest with random stats practically available)

I also do not get why they remove the stacks, WvW is no sPvP, so need for everyone to be equal.

10% is still miniscule
10% more stats on ascended wont make you 10% more powerful, since a huge part of your stats come from the 1000 baseline anyway.

Blame the lack of content updates. Need to keep myself busy.
