About a month or so ago I queued 8 hrs both on Saturday & Sunday, so 16 hrs+ total trying to get into EB. Neither day did I manage to get in…
I am on Seafarer’s Rest (EU), apparently some ‘clever’ folks had organised a GvG there for the weekend…some of the regular WvW players were fuming because they were not defending anything so we lost our T3 keep and all our T3 towers. Which if at least a few of the regular WvW players had been able to get in would not have happened…
This thread is a month or so out of date.
Anet have already moved on to giving us permanent content, they listened and changed what they were doing. There is a 2 month’ish delay because that’s how long before a LS update takes to make.
All those are recent permanent additions:-
Invasions
Tequatl
New bosses
The upcoming new 4th dungeon path
Bloodlust in WvW
Leagues in WvW
SAB is a ongoing in development, there are going to be 4 worlds, each time a world is ready it gets released, just had world 2, world 3 will be along in the future.
Perhaps when SAB is complete it will be a permanent addition or perhaps a 1 time a year thing who knows?
Whats happening with Wxp/Birthday boosters?
Someone tell me in straight forward plain English please?
Top 5
1. Halloween, Mad King.
2. Queens Jubilee, Clockwork Chaos.
3. Molten Weapons Facility Dungeon.
4. Southsun Cove.
5. Wintersday.
Worst 5
1. Tequatl, boss week.
2. Super Adventure Box (SAB).
3. Canach “Dungeon”.
4. Flame & Frost before you met Rox & Bram.
5. Sky Pirates.
btw, you may want to put this in general discussion for ALOT more feedback…

I don’t think they should offer free transfers…
However, every so often they should reduce transfer fees by a % as a special limited time offer, just like they discount character slots or stash tabs or other stuff in the gem store.
Mine as always been Halloween the Mad King too…
Was really hoping they would have beaten it by now…
You actually get the reward chests at the end of every week beginning Oct 1st, wether or not the league is going on or not. Those are account bound. The number you get is wether you come 1st, 2nd or 3rd in the matchup. If you come 1st you get 3, 2nd 2 and 3rd 1.
All other rewards you get in WvW remain the same AFAIK…

A couple of suggestions to make builds more interesting:-
1) Open up the Elite only skill so you can have any Elite or Utility skill in there. So you could have 4 utility skills no elite. You could be even more DARING and open up the healing slot too. So you could have the choice of any 5 utility skills, still restricted to 1 heal/elite but you could opt to have no elite/heal and have 5 utilitys.
2) Make the 5/15/25 traits part of there respective 1/3 of the trait line. Thus allowing people to choose 6 picks of traits from one trait line when you invest 30 trait points in it. No longer have 3 traits ‘forced’ upon you.
Both those would have a BIG effect but also bring back a lot of FUN.

Why don’t GvG pay for a custom arena and conduct there GvG there?
Your completely equal there and no one can interfere with you?
The cost is insignificant to multiple guilds, so that can’t be a problem.
Some more to add to my list
22.) Invasions
23.) Fractals
24.) Special effects on legendarys
25.) A lot of armour/weapon/back skins are very good
26.) Deposit all collectables
27.) Separate loot/nodes for all players
28.) No subscription
29.) Personal Story upto lvl 30
(edited by Meglobob.8620)
1.) Music
2.) Graphics
3.) Down/up leveling
4.) Artwork
5.) Fast paced combat
6.) Holiday events
7.) Wallet
8.) Dynamic event system
9.) Vistas
10.) Jumping puzzles by and large
11.) Guardian/Warrior character classes
12.) Dailys & Monthlys
13.) Easy to get exotic gear
14.) WvW

16.) Trading Post
17.) Dodging

Those are all GW2 strengths.
Can not really find fault with those parts of GW2.

Errr…excuse me but I have been on Seafarer’s Rest since day 1, now I might miss out because of everyone bandwagoning our server…
Well thats kitten…
Couldn’t you have mentioned this earlier?
I don’t think a estimate is a good idea…
It will just create loads of QQ’ing threads…
When the league starts we are going to have endless QQ’ing threads on how bad the league idea is…unless they pull a rabbit out of the hat and announce a handicapping system which opens the league upto any server having the chance to win.
@marnick.4305
Not the same at all. Are you telling me when you get a drop worth 10g, 20g or more it does not give you a good feeling? Especially as you were not expecting it? When you run dungeons, farm badges of honour you get what you get no luck involved, everyone is on the same footing.
@LeeroyNimoy.1864
So since GW2 came out you have zero sympathy with the 1,000’s upon 1,000’s of threads saying loot is rubbish, I never get any drops? Also, in those threads you ALWAYS get players saying they are quitting because loot/rng/drops is appallingly awful.
Thousands upon thousands of players have quit GW2 because of extreme bad luck and no drops. If there was a hard cap on bad luck, many would be still playing…
nothing is off the table? what does it mean?
They have this HUGE and I mean HUGE oak table at Anet HQ and its piled with a mountain of stuff, that’s ‘on the table’. You should see it, its like a 8th wonder of the world. They are opening it up as a tourist site soon, so gamers from all around the world can marvel at the table of endless things…
when is the first guild wars 2 expansion coming out?
From what we have been told NEVER, there is never, ever going to be a expansion.
Living story updates every 2 weeks thou, instead…
They never said they’d never have an expansion? Why say so?
Because they basically have said that and its true Vayne?
They do use the phrase, ‘its not off the table’, but whenever you catch a dev being unguarded, its no expansion, not working on one. Of course someone on high gives them a smack and tells them to get on message, which is to leave the option open. But really no expansion for the foreseeable future…
A few months ago they said they were working on more character progression by introducing new skills/traits. The 4 teams working on living story have a 2 month development time window.
So if we are lucky may see some new skills/traits introduced before the end of 2013.
However, they have this HUGE and I mean HUGE oak table at Anet HQ and its piled with a mountain of stuff, that’s ‘on the table’, so hopefully new skills/traits won’t have been lost in that mountain of stuff. They can lose ascended armour if they want, that’s okay…

I would like to see a limit on bad luck with RNG…
For example give everyone a guaranteed 100% exotic or better drop every 50 hours played. Ideally the way it would work would be a ingame bar that fills up with time played, must be moving/in combat to accumulate time. If before the 50 hours played a exotic drops then the bar resets and starts to fill again, you just got lucky. No exotic drop by 50 hours played, automatic exotic drop.
What this would be is a hard cap on how unlucky any individual player can be, well still allowing players to be lucky with drops.
Currently 1 player could have 6 exotic drops in 100 hours play, that player is very happy and loves GW2.
Another, can player 1,000 hours and get 0 exotic drops, that player is very, very unhappy and hates GW2, calls it KITTEN and gives up playing permanently.

Well, a lot of players don’t know about it yet, not everyone visits the forums or reads patch updates…
Also, as already said the speed groups fill up is lightning fast, if you try to read requirements you have missed joining the group…
Mad King as a character 9.9/10. Great villain.
Scarlet as a character 6/10. Forgetable, average and uninteresting villain.
My ‘RNG’ luck is very simple…its not you, its never going to be you, don’t even bother cause its not dropping for you ever…
Honestly…its that bad…completely given up on loot/drops in modern day games, not just GW2…its NEVER going to be you…
Yep, really, really looking forward to the Halloween patch…I hope Anet don’t mess it up by changing too many things from last years Halloween…
Hopefully…
Mad Kings Dungeon
Clocktower Jumping Puzzle
Labyrinth
Will all be the same as last year with a updated loot table. Really enjoyed those last year and was a GREAT festival.
I didn’t have time to play some of the PvP mini games last year so hopefully they will make a return and can try them out for the first time.
Looking forward to Halloween Anet…PLEASE DON’T KITTEN IT UP…
living story : What is this all about?
Selling you related items via the gemstore…
Can’t believe no one told the OP the truth…c’mon guys get with the program…
I personally am really looking forward to the halloweon festival, Mad kings dungeon and labyrinth were great. Also, the xmas festival was very good too.
Yep level 80 only.
Also, expect this dungeon path to be hard, REALLY HARD…
Ideally, ALL 5 members in the party should have ascended weapons and complete ascended trinkets. With builds completely tweaked for running this dungeon path. Expect beyond level 50+ fractals type of HARD…
It should have been made far, far harder through…players are completing it too quickly and easily.
But they are going the right direction…so well done Anet.
A tip for Anet, if you think its really, really hard then made it 300% harder and you may produce some challenging content…
Yes, permanent.
I also suspect as its level 80 ONLY, that the difficulty scale will be about the same as Tequatl…at least only 5 of you will need to work together this time thou…
Anyone noticed, Anet have seriously upped the difficulty of content recently…Gauntlet, Tequatl, boosting bosses and now a level 80 only dungeon path.
Probably in response to everyone saying GW2 is faceroll and to encourage everyone to grind ascended…
Personally I think WvW zergs are the best way to level currently and most fun…
If you have a level 20 or 40 experience scroll use that, then buy all your current level equipment off TP then WvW…you are fine in just blue gear and can get away with updating at lvls 40 & 60 then at 80. Use food to get apple/spanner buffs.
Easy to take a level 0 character to 80 in a week or so doing this…
Advantages to Defending?
You get less loot…oh wait…
What are stacks od dishonour?
Something new?
No more like Tequatl, please….
1 is enough…
In 1 or 2 months Tequatl will be a ghost town and no one will do it. You will have threads with last time Tequatl done on your server…1000+ hrs…
I have all 8 classes and I like 5 of them…
Guardian
Warrior
Thief
Mesmer
Engineer
I dislike to hate 3
Necro – 1st character I rolled, by level 10, hated it. Still took it to level 80 but even in the current meta which favours them, just don’t like the class. Its just not a Necromancer to me, don’t like Anets take on the Necro…
Elementalist – As a class I really, really like it. But its been weakened in the last few months, well other classes have been boosted, so has become increasingly more unfun to play. Anet’s attitude that a Ele is the jack of all trades does not help the class at all. Also, being forced to take Arcana/Water is rubbish and Fire is a complete joke of a trait line. Elementalists take a lot of work to play but get no advantage whatsoever to reward the work you do, even through other classes benefit greatly from the fields they can create.
Ranger – This is the class, I hate. The traits, all 5 trait lines, are TOTALLY messed up. Seriously, it looks as if someone rolled dice to determine were to put a trait. Pet mechanic is a negative and always has been. Constantly nerfed when players create a half decent build in PvP. Terrible dps. Other classes ranged weapons are far better than Rangers. A lot of Rangers utility skills are totally and utterly useless. There is no hope for this class, Anet should just delete it from the game and forget about it…
Well we should be able to vendor them…if nothing else…
Personally, I don’t see why they don’t make them tradeable on the TP. What’s the problem/big deal?
Necros never give me a problem but then again I always make sure my characters run a decent amount of condition removal…and I avoid there circles…
I have always viewed Necro’s as free kills really…
(edited by Meglobob.8620)
Once they are happy with it…hopefully will send all players a ingame mail to let them know it actually exists…95% of GW2 players never visit the forum after all…
S – Warriors, Guardian.
A – Thief, Engineer, Mesmer.
B – Necro.
C – Elementalist, Ranger.
You get lots of karma zerging around WvW and its fun…
I have 3 million+ atm and have spent 17 million+ already so they can nerf karma all they want…don’t care…
I have it as of this morning, you get a small update which seems to activate it.
Groups seem to fill really fast, like in a few seconds…barely have time to read what they are looking for…
Loads of people looking for speedruns and zerker only gear…lol
PvP’ers also get the achievement chests now as a reward. Every month rewards 160 achievement points, so every 3 months a chest for you to open…lol
Achievement chests, unidentified dyes & laurels you PvP’ers are ‘raking’ in the gold…lol
the loot is the same as before, just a rare chance for ascended (very rare, like 1%)
Lol…Mr Hopeful…
Try 0.0001% chance and your near the mark…
After the 2 week event…they are going to after up the rewards by HUGE, HUGE AMOUNTS or make Tequatl CONSIDERABLY easier otherwise NO ONE will do it ever…
Fully, expecting, ‘no one has done Tequatl in 1000+ hrs on any server’ threads in a month or two’s time…
Just you wait and see…
(edited by Meglobob.8620)
Why is there a condition cap anyways?
Its a technical problem, that is how much the GW2 engine can cope with, very, very hard to get around apparently…
If they raised it higher most players would be unable to play GW2 fullstop…
I would like them to change it to be a choice between karma or mf…
The 50 mf is really a completely insignificant, nearly worthless reward and it was not worth giving up 3,900 karma…
Its overall a loot nerf…
Anyone noticed, recently, that a lot of things in game are getting slight loot nerfs…not a coincidence…this is offsetting the vast rewards given away during Queens Jubilee & Clockwork Chaos and Invasions…
The biggest factor to defeating Tequatl is 80’ish players on TEAMSPEAK talking to each another…
After that you got to make sure all siege is manned by teamspeak players.
You then have a chance at success…
Its not gear dependent at all…
Firstly you can keep on doing anything you enjoy doing really…
But the easiest/cheapest way to get full exotics is run dungeons for the tokens, buy exotic gear with tokens. You will want to visit Lions Arch and inspect the dungeon vendors to choose what stats you want and what look you want. Then you will know what dungeons to run.
Also, in WvW at 80 you can buy a full set of rares straight away for just karma at 80th level. If you do a lot of WvW, you will collect badges of honour, which along with small amounts of gold you can use to buy exotics.
A few other things to try out, champion farming Frostforge or going down to Orr or searching out the bosses which have just received a makeover and start running them daily. For example Maw, Fire Elemental, Hydra etc….
Incoming memo from Anet…
Oh sorry guys, forgot to tell you, its 80 players with Ascended Weapons, that’s what you need to kill Tequatl.
This entire thread… brb getting some torches to light up this troll cave. Maybe a rug.
I know…
Who would have thought a ‘fairly’ innocent question would create the ULTIMATE WvW troll thread… and no moderator has closed it yet?!?
