Guild Wars 2

It is “betting”. But, winners are getting tokens worth 1g on winning bets.

Only a WvW player asks for the waypoint timer.

/m What’s the Lone Post waypoint timer?

Darkrider.7461:

i dont know about anyone else but i kinda feel used =/ need more mesmers for EMP plz, at the very least so i can take a break =)

We are learning to flog our mesmers, hard. Good work!

I had this happen in Malchor’s with an Orichalcum Sickle. But, I may have aborted my attempt as the 2 of the statues “helpers” were trying to blast/beat me to death. I’ll try to track this more closely. Those Risen, ever so helpful.

Would it be possible to get the text format results in Comma-Separated-Value format? Thanks for the posts on overall results.

This is the only ingame error I get constantly; 90% of the time, it occurs while I am in wvwvw. Typically it occurs about once an hour, usually while moving. Of course hurts when I am in combat, a very common situation in wvw.
This error does not drop me out of the game client, it just drops me to the character select screen. Quite frustrating. Since the game provides no details of what “fails”, it is really hard to fix.
I have port forwarded all the ports I have seen mentioned in this forum to my pc, I have turned off SPI. But, nothing seems to make this go away.

Bold prediction, JQ to T2 in 3 weeks.
Making T1 SoS, SoR, and BG.

I second the request for .csv formatting of the results, please.

Our GW1 (and now GW2) guild is transatlantic. Because of real-life issues such as sleep-time, work-time, play-time; most players opted for a world in their region. Now our guild is looking at the new wall.
I understand the technical issues, but this just doesn’t feel right.
Our guild is populated with members in both regions.
It will soon be only a glorified friend list for many members.
This was not a good decision.
The poster that talked about 2 home servers (1 per region) is probably the best compromise I have seen yet on this topic. Please fix this.
Thanks.

The armor repair cost in wvw means zerging is really the only way to go, because a zerg can revive you before you are defeated. What mechanisms do you wish to change to make zerging a little less useful, and the armor repair gold sink more tolerable?
My engineer can not do much more than pew-pew while a single war greatsword attack slices and dices, how will you provide some offense to the engineer? Using full exotic gear. And turrets are toys, except in low level pve.

I would think a recruiting thread, would identify who was recruiting.

It does, try reading the OP.

Read the title again very carefully. IoJ is not mentioned.

Balanced battles, excellent.

Here’s our GRAND STRATEGY:
Eyes OnlyIf it's owned by players with red tags, it's got to be taken.

Just helping make the spies job a lot easier.

Have fun, and enjoy the game.

What is with the login server error in WvW?

This is a fun reset night. Everybody is in top form. Carry on. Congrats to BG for bringing the heat.

Feb 28, 2013 … last day of the month, go go ArenaNet.

Variety, and change is good. Let the battles begin.

MikeFerguson.8921:

… while still making sure the guesting system is as useful and easy to use as possible. We’re agonizingly close, so hopefully soon we can stop talking about it and just do it!

I’ve heard there was going to be a guesting system.
Thanks for the update.

BelleroPhone.4238:

The zone names on the world map give you a tooltip information about their completion status, so you can really quickly check those.
After that, the only thing remaining are the three Battlegrounds and the Chantry, so the missing POI must be somewhere there…

3 Borderlands, 1 Eternal Battleground and Chantry of Secrets.

First world problems.

Behold the first world problems you speak of.
As this picture was taken, culling and rendering were producing even more Red Tags at the back.
That rabbit in front of me, has no idea what’s coming

Adaneshade.2409:

…
The legendary is a symbol of mastery in all aspects of the game.

Since Legendaries (from whatever source) are not all account or soul-bound at acquisition, this is a demonstrable falsehood.

They can be bought, not earned.

ArenaNet has repeatedly said all have a right to play, anytime, anywhere. It is the “endless war”.
They “may” change the scoring, but nothing official has been announced.
Play where you want, have a great day.

Decked.8274:

What I do when I see two guys fighting:

- If the guy from my server is winning -> I kill the other guy
- If the guy from my server is losing -> I kill the other guy
- They are not fighting -> I kill the other guy

If you are in normal traffic areas, red is dead. Clear and simple. Go play in some quiet location.

When did these mysterious new guilds slip in?
Welcome all low-key and quiet new JQ WvW guilds. Enjoy yourselves, have fun. Learn well that vigilence is eternal, communication is key.

I think the OP needs to find a different game. This must not fit the style she is looking for.

SoS really really wanted that tower on JQBL about 4 hours ago (13:00 UTC). I was downed AND defeated a few times. I’ll be cleaning off the moss and mildew for weeks. Whoever planted these towers in marshy lands was obviously befuddled.

Fighting continues . . .

Based on all my guildies and allied guilds success, I would guess 75% success rate on the Wintersday Jump Puzzle.

DivineBeing.2086:

Keineng is where I just spent this week doing it. They are wiping the entire BL’s.

I’d agree with this post, if you are that impatient on this title, a nearly 100% owned map is hard to beat.

With thieves and mesmers, there is no “only us two” on the field. Sorry mate. I have been ganked too many times; red is dead, a good motto.
With Habib’s comments about culling, we will soon see if thieves have the leet skills to play in WvW.

Cogent, clear answer, thanks.

Starting to see players from known SoS guilds pop up all over on our server now…

Really?!

To spy?!

Good job SOS you’re finally playing like a proper tier 1 server!

Wohoooooooooo

Well if the shoe fits I suppose, you said it not me.

When SOS players were complaining about JQ or SBI spies, the only thing at the back of my head was: “well where the hell are SOS MI5?”

Spy from SBI? Our official TS is empty all day. Even in our prime time (7pm-11pm) there are barely 3 or 4 guys on TS.

SBI is over. Don’t mind us. :P

Uh huh, SBI is over. Pull the other one.
I put that in “propaganda” category. Nobody told the troops in the field to stop playing.
I almost, almost believed you.

Good fights this week, may the battles be long and tricky in the foreseeable future.

SoS are lemmings ? I had no idea
Maybe the Mayans were right, the rounding errors change the date to 2013-01-04.

Too funny, I salute you Jedahs.

Be a good little obedient LoS target, too funny.

Some of the posts have a … dismissive tone … others are cheering on. This is “endless war” (well, weekly war).
Carry on everybody, do the best you can, with what you got. Think big, think bold.

“They’ve surrounded us, we have them right where we want them. Let slip the dogs of war.”
With apologies to any authors and mangled quotes.

Who made yellow stuff in JQ’s cherios?

Since SBI has guild ArenaNet on their side, it was time to point out how culling is affecting the game.

You mean Pickup Group [PuG] which has Izzy as a member ? I haven’t seen him in WvW for ages now and no, we as community on SBI don’t get any benefit from having some ANet employees on our server – despite what you think.

All those beatdowns we’re handing out are 100% legit.. As are the beatdowns we receive… haha

My previous post, and this one are tongue in cheek humor. Not fact.

At no time was I saying ArenaNet was blessing you with Eve Online Dev behaviour.

At our deep, under the mountain, smoke-filled, whiskey supplied bunker; the decision to demonstrate culling was made. But when, where, how?
This question was answered with the picture of the ArenaNet player at the beginning of the thread. Oh, look. A real life player in WvWvW from ArenaNet. Unplug the golems, power up the guilds, turn on the recruiting, bring out the meatshields, I mean the new players. To war, we go.

“They are to our left, right, in front, and behind us. They cant get away this time!”

I think that’s an awesome signature.
We are surrounded, we have them right where we want them!

Props to any ArenaNet player that participates in WvWvW. I really would like to see it cleaned up, and made the awesome sauce part of the game that everyone wants to master. More useful titles, reworked scoring that takes into account population imbalance, and defense, and support. And better drops, and badges directly into inventory. All other loot can be in the bags, if it has to be.

The brawl is ongoing.

That’s the repair agent in Hills Keep, there has been some bizarre buggy behaviour with those guys. For example, when we took that keep 2 days ago, the npcs were respawning as hostile. There is definitely something wrong. The most difficult (but still not hard) to kill was that Arcane Eye (thief).

I’m going to venture out into the unknown and guess the following.

After being downed and or defeated in a map, my sigils stop working until, I go to character select screen and back, or change maps. This seems to reset them. Is this ideal for WvWvW, not exactly.

If you are downed, there is an icon on the map. You are findable. Your friends will not be able to “Use [F]” the siege, but will be able to “Revive [F]” you.

Quite likely a server ( or virtual server ) crash.

There is no quit, everybody is trying.

Wow, JQ added lots of new skilled players, excellent!
This week, one of our GW1 guild members who installed GW2 3 weeks ago, finally got transferred to JQ (JQ got special exemption from full rules to add 43 million players ). And after we have helped him get to level80, I’m hoping to bring him to WvW, (I’m also hoping culling is fixed, but I’m an optimist). Not exactly 43 million new players.

why wait? I’ve been running around WvW with a toon I just created a day ago, got all the monthly kills and with how constant evens are from capturing and all that leveling seems ridiculously fast

It’s his first toon, give him a chance to get comfortable with GW2 before we throw him into the zergfest, gankfest environment. :P

SniffyCube.6107:

honestly man downed state adds another facet of the game… trying to get people down and rallied is huge in large battles

love it

Downed just changes the tactics the player can use. It is part of the game.

I would have won the 1v3 if there wasn’t downed state. I would have won if I could spam skills like a thief, I would have won if I could have more phantasms, I could have won if my hp and armor were higher. I would have won if I had a Legendary. I would have won if I had ele speed. I would have won if my cool downs were dramatically shorter.

But, we cannot, fortunately, all be Gods, because even the gods fought and lost. Their downed states are a little bit different.

I have painfully learned that when I am against a group of foes the odds are against me. Is it heroic, yes. Is it a test of skill, yes. Will I survive, often the answer is no. I do it for time, diversion, distraction, or boredom. Often, I’ve messaged about foe strength, location, actions first.

Remove JP from WvW, problem solved. No free siege, badges, camping.

You are probably not overstating the obvious.

Story mode does link with map complete. There are 2 Claw Island personal stories that get you 4 points towards map completion.

Sure but my husband has done map completion and has never done story mode. He completed the 100% map and has the star. Still to this day has not done any Story completion.

The 4 points apply to Krytan Explorer under the Hero, Achievement, Explorer tab.
