Canadians heh? 3 canadians is sure a lot.
Okay, they don’t like being called Canadians…how about every GW2 player in Quebec is part of Vizunah Square?
no sex
Its okay, I can multi-task, sex and GW2, so can my girlfriend!
Good luck everyone…chances are this weeks scores won’t change final outcome…so just enjoy the fights…

Well done Jade Sea on there, ‘big push’ overnight…
Will it be enough for them to get 2nd in this matchup and jt 2nd overall?
Elona need to push if they want 2nd in this matchup…
1. Expansion.
2. More ways to obtain ascended.
3. New skills/traits to expand builds.
It would be pleasant/nice for SFR and Piken servers to end there feud with each another…
Piken kittened SFR during week 1
SFR kittened Piken during week 5
How about we call it equal/quits and move on…
Really, a continued feud with each another cements Vizunah Square in 1st place, not only in this the 1st league but in future leagues. By hating on each another SFR and Piken drag each another down…its silly…
Also, what ever happened to balance of power?
If you look over history, when any power rose to be dominate over everybody else by a serious margin, alliances were formed to drag them back down…
Some examples (selected from 100’s of years ago but there are plenty of examples in modern times), Napoleon/France who only got defeated by 6+ other nations forming a alliance and the Habsburgs/Spain/Holy Roman Empire who also united Europe vs them.
WvW players have a habit of taking the easy path , which is pick on the weakest server, which benefits in the short term but in a league over 7 weeks can be a HUGE strategic MISTAKE. Perhaps its time during leagues of the 2 weakest servers taking the hard path and concentrating the most powerful server…
Pretty sure this is what the Anet devs had in mind when WvW was designed…

The only one very odd thing in your post you claim that there is no rank 3000 players
However i am pretty sure Mr. Funny Sunny Bunny from SFR is already
6,445 Diamond Invader
He is just under 2,800 rank points, so nearly…
BIG THANKS for this, a lot of players have wanted account bound wxp for some time now. Me and my 8 alts thank you…
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/world-xp-and-you/?utm_source=client
This is GREAT NEWS, not just for WvW players with WXP being account bound across all your characters but in particular this section:-
As we begin to roll out our new core horizontal progression system of continually-expanded skills and traits, we felt there was no longer a need to have a character-specific progression system unique to WvW. The skill and trait system will provide game-wide horizontal character progression for all players. Devon Carver.
New skills/traits are a far better way of rewarding players and allowing them to develop there characters than just increasing stats, which as most players know is meaningless in the long run.

Server: SFR
League: Gold
Enjoyed Season 1: Yes
Should we have season 2?: Yes
I think as season 1 ends, less players are going to play WvW. Many are going to have a break, only a season 2 (or something similar) will motivate them to play at the same level. Returning to the pre-league format will be viewed as boring now…
A league with rewards was one of Anets better ideas, just need to tinker with it to make it better. Mainly, more competitive between servers, closer scores.

Scarlet must be behind it.
Was that Scarlet in the cab!?!
4/10
Mainly due to loads and loads of bugs! Making it very hard to play!
The Tower on the other hand 8.5/10…
Different design teams…so that’s why content goes good, bad, indifferent…also no quality control…

Both fractals daily and toxic gardener dailys are both bugged neither register.
Also, when you do a fractals daily, it does not count towards the Fractured 2 week meta achievement…
So any chance you could fix? Before you know the 2 week deadline to get the achievement is up?

This video was very, very funny…
Good way to promote the game in the run up to xmas…
Best bit was, ‘you won’t notice the grind in Tyria’…lol
Obviously GW2 and this forum has players with no sense of humour at all…
Your missing the picture here, were discussing the business aspect of what was done here. You realize Anet spent a tremendous amount of money on a marketing campaign geared towards people who take taxis rides? People are saying it has to be a bad joke because it literally is that bad from a business standpoint. It’s almost an attempt at in house sabotage to ruin the game.
As a person who has been in the field of marketing with computer companies for years, I can say that this is probably one of the worst targeted campaigns I have ever seen in my entire life. If i was an ad agency looking to come up with an innovative way to bring in new users to a video game, I wouldn’t be targeting taxi cabs in the middle of NYC. Is it funny and lighthearted? Yes. But it doesn’t target the correct audience by any means, you could run that campaign for a month and I bet you would maybe get 10-20 people who ride in that cab who even know what guild wars is let alone play video games long enough to actually play an MMO.
In the end all this does is take away money from a budget from a game that is already suffering the effects of poor management.
I think its you that’s missing the point…
Firstly this will have been cheap to do, in terms of advertising…very, very cheap…
Secondly there target audience isn’t people in mini cabs, its a wider audience via the internet, ie watching the youtube video…
That’s why they have tried to make it funny and have a ‘sexy’ Tyrian driving the cab…
The ‘competition’ itself is completely, ‘tongue-in cheek’…swear allegiance to only one MMO, yeah right…

Kill Someone get all their Gear?
If they did this, everyone would just wear green gear at best.
Except for those that did not realise/know and they would rage on those forum, bombard Anets customer service about getting there gear back…
Basically, this is a non-topic…never going to happen…
What happens after the leagues.
We go back to how match ups were before the 7 week league.
The next, ‘big thing’ in WvW AFAIK will be the release of a new map, which will end queues. You will not be able to score points for your server on this map but be able to play WvW well you wait to get in the normal maps. Also, Anet are going to use it to ‘try stuff out’ before its implemented on the competitive maps.
I have a feeling myself, playing numbers in WvW will go down abit once the league ends. Probably come back for the new map…
Vizunah Square in Europe.
In a league of there own.
Anytime they want to win…they win…that simple.
Completely dominated Europe in WvW, anytime it mattered.
It would be fun in the future if Europeon servers could fight NA servers to see how everyone would do…don’t know if its tech possible thou…

Mine (in no particular order):-
1) Dynamic events (especially chains/events that are clumped together)
2) Scaling, upleveling/downleveling.
3) Graphics/artwork. The painted/canvas style is especially great.
4) WvW, just awesome!
5) B2P, no subscription.
Mine
1) Living story instead of expansion.
2) Ascended gear. Every other MMO does progression via increasing stats. Why not make GW different? Do progression via new skills instead and amazing skins.
3) Fixed stats/traits/weapon skills are too restrictive and take choice away from players.
4) No difficulty/level adjust for players. Difficulty, same/constant for all players regardless of ability. So players who want harder are unhappy, players who want easy are completely cut off from content.
5) Too much nerfing across the entire game. Rewards, skills, traits, weapons, special items etc…Anet in a year have implemented 1,000s+ nerfs. By far the most nerfing in any video game I have ever played. Was the original design that broken?
Still waiting for my, ‘lucky moment’, only 1500+ hrs clocked up…
GW2, NOT a game to play if you like interesting/good drops…
You gotta work/grind your kitten off, for anything good!
Hate to rain on your parade folks but Anet devs have said they are happy with 8 classes, which they believe cover all bases.
So no new classes any time soon, the next year or three…
I think they have also said no new races are planned atm…

The new map will fix queues which was one major problem, so well done Anet for that.
The other major problem, is lack of competition between servers, basically I said Vizunah Square would win the Europe league weeks before the league started and guess what they did with 35pts out of 35pts. Silver league again easy to say before start Desolution would win…they are not competitive.
The only way to make them competitive is to introduce a handicapping system…
Anything else is minor problems, like reworking the achievements, making sure the rewards are interesting etc…
I have to say personally I enjoyed the leagues overall and hope there is a season 2.

Can’t any skill be interrupted by various means and often be put on a tiny cooldown before you can activate the skill again?
Happens to me all the time in PvP and WvW…
Also, skills are queued, so if you have any lag there will be a delay of somekind or skill won’t activate at all. Honestly, no word of a lie, I have pressed my heal skill 30 times in 30 secs in WvW and it never triggers once due to extreme lag…
(edited by Meglobob.8620)
You forgot, just for fun, relaxing after a rubbish day at work/educational facility…
Which could be why most people play?
Personally, only WvW motivates me now, but I have played since release day, so that’s not surprising…
will ascended gear be alt-friendly?
No….short answer…
Long answer…we won’t know until its released, but based on the past year we can assume it will be a huge grind, a huge money sink and completely alt unfriendly…that’s the trend Anet are setting.
Sadly, by being silly and hating each another we handed victory to the 2 French servers, giving them 1st and 2nd.
Whats the thing against french servers here? We are suppose to play with each other because they are french and should still be in alliance even when many of the posts here from SFR are full of hatred, demeaning and meant to insult others. Look at that statement and please tell me exactly what you mean by “handed victory to the 2 french servers?”. What is the basis here for working against those 2 servers? Being french? I do not understand that and hope none of Piken will ever understand what it means. We are suppose to be above them because we are international or maybe we are not french is the best reason you have to explain this statement. You have to show a better side of yourselves to be not focused by 2 servers rather than being all powerful and throwing crap at other servers whenever you win in terms of PPT which is just coverage wars.
Nothing against French servers…that’s just in your head, not mine pal.
I take my hat off to the French for clearly being the BEST at WvW in Europe…
The basis for working against them is to stop those servers being 1st and 2nd all the time, otherwise whats the point, when the result is clear cut all the time?
(edited by Meglobob.8620)
One point I have never understood about heavy vs medium/light armour debate.
Heavy classes get a small armour advantage, its a clear advantage that warriors/guardians get.
So what small advantage do the other 6 classes get to even this out?
No one has ever said AFAIK and I have never been able to figure any advantage with other classes skills/traits/stats that equal that small armour advantage out.
Just been doing some points calculations!
If my math is correct and if nothing ‘really’ weird happens in the next 2 weeks, those should be the final scores:-
Vizunah Square 35 assumes 5 pts in week 6/7
Searfarer’s Rest 27 assumes 5 pts in week 6, 1pt week 7
Jade Sea 27 assumes 3 pts in week 6, 5pts week 7
Piken Square 25 assumes 3 pts in week 6/7
Which in hindsight means Piken did us a great favour edging out Jade Sea from 1st to 2nd. If they had not done that, then SFR would have come 3rd instead of joint 2nd, thanks Piken!
Also, if Piken had taken the harder path in week 1 and sided with SFR against VIZ, its very, very likely they would have ended up better than there eventual 4th position. Potentially, the way things worked out, if SFR/Piken had double teamed SFR would have finished 1st and Piken 2nd.
Sadly, by being silly and hating each another we handed victory to the 2 French servers, giving them 1st and jt 2nd.
Hope, everyone learns those lessons if there is a season 2 WvW league.

Why Do Travel Golems Cost Money?
Its a money sink.
John Smith is actually inside the golem, counting his taxes like Scrooge…
Hope you enjoyed your Monday start Piken, with EVERYONE of your forts paper…
Get used to it, your going to start every morning like that!
P.S. Please attack our T3 forts more…bags always welcome!
I don’t think its player input at all…
Its just probably a timer, far, far simpler to do and how can anyone other than this particular story team developers know?
One shots in this game…
Are the CHEESEIST mechanics any developer can put in the game.
Just because we have dodge does not make it acceptable it be 1 shot dead before we have any chance to use our skills to defend ourselves.
I am really, really surprised so many players are so accepting of such lazy design…
Standards in gaming have slipped, gone downhill so much over the last decade or so…
Fastest way to get karma is fractals, I think…
Skill points drop from champion bags, so champion trains, living story is good for those as well.
A way of getting both is WvW…you get decent karma (but less then fractals) and a decent amount of champion bags (but not as fast as Queensdale/Frostforge champion farming).
Lets hope the new fractal is good…
I hope, they still plan on putting some of the previous temporary content into fractals, like:-
1. Molten Facility
2. Aetherblade
3. Mad Kings Dungeon, descent to madness. Seeing as how it did not reappear in this years Halloween.
4. The current Tower, would make a good fractal too in the future.
It would be great if fractals could, ‘store’, keep some of the best parts of the LS to replay whenever you want.
This new system is way better.
I realize you are probably used to getting put with all people in top 500 and then roflstomping the other team over and over again, but you are forgetting how that made the other team feel.
^This is what was happening before…completely unfair and helped destroy sPvP playing population.
This new matchup system, coupled with faster decay is far, far better.
sPvP outside of peak hours has a very low population of players playing from my experience, so at those times no matchmaking system is going to work, due to not enough players.
Why Alt Unfreindley ?
Yes. A lot of players wonder why Anet promote playing of only 1 character in GW2.
Its strange given the more characters a player has, more chance of spending real $ on gems but there you go…
If Jade Sea does finish 2nd…then that will be French servers 1st & 2nd…
Well done France/French Canadians dominating all of Europe!
Napoleon is alive and well.
Been running axe/warhorn and longbow warrior, its good fun.
Do feel a ‘little’ OP.
Its the longbow, really, its AWESOME vs all the petting zoo classes running around like Necro/Ranger. Also great vs Mesmers and there clones/phantasms.
The only class, I lose to is Engineer, I can’t beat a decent Engineer to save my life. Can draw the fight out but Engineer ALWAYS wins.
That’s my take on it, anyway.
(edited by Meglobob.8620)
I REALLY LIKE the new match making system in solo queue.
Its far, far better then before and much fairer to players with low ranks.
Well done the PvP team for this!
Love the tower…
A big thumbs up from me, for this entire event.
I think they got the difficulty spot on, the achievements are not a burden and its fun to run the tower, doing the nightmare chambers on the way.
For me the entire Kessex Hills/tower living story as to go down as one of the best from Anet…well done!
The only sad face from me, is it isn’t permanent…
It seems all the best living story chapters that I really like are ALWAYS TEMPORARY!
Molten Forge Dungeon – Temp, once only.
Mad Kings Dungeon – Temp, once only.
Queens Jubilee – Temp, once only.
Kessex Hills/Tower – Temp, once only.
Why? From my point of view are all the best bits of the LS always temporary, one shot deals? Its so sad…
I have never died to confusion…as soon as you see it…condition removal…no problem.
If you can’t stop spamming your skills, notice the confusion icon, not equip enough condition removal on your character or refuse to turn your auto attack off then its your own fault.
Endgame 9/10, very, very important.
Why?
Because that is where players spend 80-90% of there time playing.
Honestly, if I designed a modern game, my starting point would be the end, then the beginning. The middle bit filling itself in nicely.
Too many games are designed from the beginning with the end being ‘rushed’ to get it out for the release date.
One complete certainty…
A huge amount of QQ threads about the rewards no matter what happens…
No. we don’t want to sweep for Mesmers now…
We purposely ignore them so we can reflip keep/sm…
More loot…
