Guild Wars 2

Aieo.2815:

Keep it rolling JQ. We ain’t giving up yet.

Exactly, it isn’t over til, the plump Asuran sings.
Happy New Year.

There is no quit in SoS, or SBI, or JQ.
This will be a very interesting week for many, school breaks, holidays, vacations will be ending for some.

What can be done? DROP THE RATING SYSTEM. Mix up the matches, people are tired of fighting the same people months on end where the results are pretty much set in stones before the week begins. WvW has become dull and predictable when it should not be.

This is definitely an emerging issue and I’d like to see an arenanet comment on it. I’d rather see culling fixed first though.

Culling first, absolutely.

To all that are playing this game, please try to have fun.
To the single SoS Charr Warrior that stood alone at the south end of Hills after the second attack and emoted with me. I will remember that single different exhange of behavior for a very long time. Keeping it Charr. Thanks.
Next time, please leave me a Badge of Honor.
I’ll even pay for your armor repair.

And the fighting continues. Well done all.

If you are happy to give your server props when i clearly showed them hacking into a tower, then more power to you…..

GJ on taking the lead through none legitimate means JQ

And my guild and everybody in my sight was clean. I’m not responsible for all the bad apples planted on this or any other server. But, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

And the fighting continues. Well done all.

[edit] And for the record, right after I took this screen-shot, I was cut down while defending a supply camp on SoS, by 4 folks from SBI. I salute you.

Update: Yet more intense fighting. Well done everybody. The fights have been clean, and exciting.

SoS at garrison east gate, Cover asked me to thank you for putting golems under oil so she could get bags.

It’s the holidays, and SoS is feeling charitable.

The first time this happened to me, was at Jormag. After that, it’s every couple of days in WvW. I’m on Jade Quarry. I have not been able to identify any particular map being more susceptible to this. But, these have ony happened to me in the last month.

This has been brought up a number of times already. The area below the bluff should not be invulnerable, but is. Jumping off the bluff should put you into play, but inexplicably, the boundary is just below the bluffs.
This will be moved/locked by mods anytime now.

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

Yep, Chantry of secrets, hug the west wall.

Those are utility skills, I don’t think they Auto-Attack, but I could be wrong.

I’d hate to be standing in LA and a warrior turned on “For Great Justice!” on auto-repeat.
Oh, wait, some do it manually.

In the water, trying to swim past some nuisance creatures. “Retreat!” caused a auto-attack until I was past them. I was trying to NOT attack. So, I’m confused now.

Been hit by this in WvW (so they will probably say I am in the wrong forum). “Hills Timer 0:30”, “Hills timer 0:10”, “hill time 0:04” and then boom silenced for quite some time. Another stellar move by the chat system. Note the messages are not identical, but that seems to not slow down those clever folks.

Yep, the mods will lock/combine this post.
By now, I’d guess 25-50% of the players have experienced the “droning sine wave” sound that is unresponsive to anything BUT stopping gw2.

Arsenic, while you are right, it’s not proof, I’m having the same anecdotal problems. I don’t grind fotm or dungeons, and the drops elsewhere do not seem to be getting better. Champs and boss drops were supposed to be buffed, yet, no evidence to support that occurs.
The gold sinks are working better than the gold income. I’m reduced to being impressed with green drops now.
But, I did get my Tixx backpack, so I guess I should be delirious with joy.

It appears Kaineng will be moving out of the tier. FC and ET under tremendous pressure.

I have no idea why you would want to run in compatability mode either. Run it native.

I’m running win 7 x64 pro, sp1 … that’s not the problem.

Do you have windows fully patched up?

Pretty complete summary, well done!

I did look at your shots. The first time I saw this situation in person, I had to think hard about what is wrong with this picture. It’s like the whole group of spawners become thieves, jump out, pull, barrage, blast, scepter, nuke with impunity, and the boldest dive out, engage in combat, and then … retreat to “invulnerable limbo”. Often accompanied by various emotes. Best to back off to the supply camp while “watching” cautiously.

This is a bug, only in that the players should be invulnerable above the bluff and once they joined the field of play, they are now in legitimate combat. The only real solution currently, is to pull back from the invulnerable area.
I have been on both sides of this boundary. Line it up with the bluff edge. You are either in play, or not, not in protected limbo.

Questions like: “How do I get the precursors?”, “If we defeat you, do we get 50 badges?”

And here I was on JQ thinking SBI has to start focusing on the top dog, SoS, instead of us JQ types.
So, It’s all perception. The way to boost your score and ranking is to take points from they who have the most, but SBI will say we take what we think we can.
Amazingly, both JQ and SoS use that same strategy. Simultaneous assaults from both other servers is part of the game, SBI and SoS and JQ will try to work events to their advantage.
SBI is really no different. We all have the on field experiences.
“We just beat off an attack by SoS and now SBI is calling” I bet SBI is not offering cookies.

I think we are going to lose this week. Seems like SBI has a surge of new guild…. I think thats what you call them…

He looks a little lost, he must have thought it was a new fotm. He may be the only anet dev to have discovered that there is a part of the game called wvw.

^^^ That is hauntingly funny. Like jalapeno jelly, it has a creeping burn. +1

+1
Also, it’s a guardian, supposedly one of the best anti-thief classes. This guard is here to test the OPness of thieves.

I get various “odd” behaviours with the BLTC, but they usually resolve with a restart of GW2. Are you running GW2 as an “Administrator”?
I think I saw something to that effect elsewhere.

So many harmless Yellow and White mobs were needlessly hurt by target-nearest (which I bound to C like many other players). Please fix targeting. If the targeting coders are also working on WvW culling, fix culling first. Thanks.

You found ArenaNet’s secret plan, thieves will wisely avoid Ateam players. To stay OP, they must be undetected.
Is there a sign on the back of the armor that says HeartSeeker here?

Shhh, This is there for the new years day party at the Quaggan Shaman’s main hangout.

I’ve seen at least one ArenaNet player on JQ, as well.

That guardian is getting a nice welcome. A little friendy aoe, a condition, all booned up.

Its a great long term goal. 15 years of slapping Yaks for those titles. On the last wvw server still running.
My family will be pleased when I earned these incredible achievements, ranks right up there with inventing polio vaccine.
We software development types thinking long term job security.
And somebody wonders why Binary Optimized Tools get created.

I had only negative comments about the love for WvW that ArenaNet is showing.
I had to “kitten” my comments.
I’ve got lots of kills and piddling badges, in 300 hours of this place. And OP, I got more from JP at one time, than any other 4 hour period in combat. Sad.
I hope that February does make things better.

Well, now we know.
Ateam has arrived to save the day.
Maybe culling will get addressed in some reasonable time.

profgast.7816:

Mar Master: there are specific command keys for swimming up and down. Up is usually mapped to space bar.

On topic: I love fighting underwater…. on certain characters. Mostly because most other people have so little idea how that it’s easy to smash them.

I knew I’d get this response about the float/sink keys.
Since you cannot swim in the vertical directions, you can’t do flips/loops etc. You do not have 3 full degrees of freedom.

It’s some sort of “competitive” secret formula. Don’t want the players to know.
Wait, why not let us know?

Breaking opponent server’s morale is a strategy that all competitive servers strive for. Unfortunately, lower (all?) tiers may not appreciate that “style” of play.
Before I get l2p, I know WvW is war. But with apparently exploitable, poorly enforced computer rules .

I dislike that you cannot swim directly up, or down. You cannot swim a vertical loop. I’m sure it simplifies the engine. I guess we can’t have everything
This week.

It appears Ferguson’s Crossing is a server taking heavy assaults from (read: reinvigorated WM and krewe) guild transfers.
Good luck FC.

Fierce Fighting

And this post will get hit by the mods. sigh

As of this moment, with all the portaling zergs; culling has got to be the worst problem in this game.
I spent my money and will continue to play, but I am actively warning people I know to avoid spending money on this game.

I don’t care if I see everybody’s exotic armor, It doesn’t matter. An ID tag in the right color, and a generic race/sex/profession is sufficient. Fill in the details when time permits.
And all x,y,z coords of all players should be sent to all clients. Encrypted of course, to make hackers job more difficult.

Thanks for your consideration.
Signed, Disgusted.

Every post in this forum drips with irony. “They” hack/exploit/zerg/cheat, “we” are pure. Yet people see this behaviour everywhere.
Arenanet, fix your game, now!
Character progression in WvW, who asked for that?
Drop more [Badges of Honor] directly into my inventory, that will help.
Loot bags, in a game of mobility; I’m halfway across the map before many engagements are over.

JQ is relaxed; we have even taken a break in the last WvW match to enjoy the holidays.

It’s the rabbit. They are seeking revenge.

This issue got me too. It wasn’t till another player arrived and jumped on invisible objects that it dawned on me that they were culled (just kidding). Changing video settings restored the bubbles enough that it became easy. Weird bug, indeed.

Best Performance should not mean impossible to see stationary items.

Yep, CC Eva and Crew are prowling now.

5 races, 2 sexes, 8 professions, generic weapons, all in the client .dat files. Load all into memory at the start of WvW. Maybe later, when things are stable, add Legendary weapons. There, the client has the models/textures/colors. Use enough polygons to determine what the player is doing.
Constantly update the clients with x,y,z coords about every player.
Look, it’s a red, norn, female mesmer. Don’t care if the armor is chartreuse, pink, white, glory, and is exotic cultural. It’s a mesmer.

The npc can be killed, the invasion “thwarted”. But, the rapid recyling of it, is an issue. Ultimately, let the “invaders” keep their tower. Periodically, reflip the supply camps nearby. Just don’t get sucked into the “invulnerability zone” by the bluffs; the one where the invulnerability buff should have been on the top of the bluff.
