Guild Wars 2

Ellow, is there a kind person enough to retranscript the big lines of what was said durring yesterday’s SoTG? I’ve asked a question about legendary/exotic PvE weapon skins as pvp rewards, was that question answered?

Heard there won’t be any solo queue/team split, eww…

Thanks for your answer but “a couple of gold” is not really reliable… Bump, still looking for a solid answer.

Hey, I’m back into PvE since 2 days and i’m looking forward to get my tier 3 human cloth set. i’m 2/5 (no headgear) and am looking for the best farming location there is.

Right now for my gold i’m doing CoF p1 with a nicely build group. I know there is still Orr event farming but as a mesmer i’m lacking on tagging abilities.

I don’t mind anything “deadly borring”, I have a grind-soul, just looking for the most efficient way to gain gold.

Naito is just mad people will farm QP nonstop the whole week.

Jealous? lol. Exploit is a exploit any way you look at it, doing something which wasn’t intended is exploiting, and this is affecting the market as we speak since the price of ori is going way below that it should be.

And how do you know it wasn’t intended? Did that pick exist since launch or they added it later on? I’ve seen a general increase in prices, from ectos to rares so I wouldn’t say that it affects the TP in any way. The prices are not dropping – at least not on my server

Sorry but TP is world wide, not server wide.

The real mesmer will strafe/dodge/use skills. That’s how you see him.

Dear Sataarcony, why are you acting as if you were worth something while it’s not the case?

What is so bad about them? Not that you get gems from playing them.

How you’re not using the same hp/toughness combo as in hotjoins :>

I would play a pure healer anytime. Right now without a dedicated healer, burst classes have it easy, and there is no teamplay capable of countering a burst.

However, the way the game is designed, you won’t see a healer.

Well, the way roamers work, ye meta is about uneven fights.

OneArmedBandit.7936:

-The most glaring issue/oversight with this map is that it favors the blue team in terms of map awareness and positioning due to the slight imbalance in vantage point design for home nodes (Altar & Temple). Whereas the blue (Altar) backpoint defender can have full view of Gate, Red Base, and the adjacent slope that connects to Altar while being 600 units away from the node, the red (Temple) backpoint defender has to move away 2100 units from the node only to get a semi view of Gate, 1/4 view of Blue Base, and the upper view of the adjacent slope that connects to Temple.

That’s the most annoying issue with the map, second being the favor of teleport skills.

It seems that when I try to quickness stop someone, the stomp doesn’t actually happen until ~1 second after the animation is over.

So if I want to qstomp someone successfully I have to sit still after the animation until I get text confirmation.

Not sure if this is a glitch or maybe I’m doing something wrong.

It is not “Really” bugged, the problem that most people have is when quickness runs out midway through the stomp and how it is handled. The most obvious of these is short duration quickness from the ranger to quickness stomp which just barely covers the full stomp time. This is similar to starting quickness midway through a skill which will not haste the second half of the ability causing you to lose part of your quickness. The problem is when the quickness runs out mid stomp the ability reverts to its normal timer, and has the miss aligned animation and stomp time.

TLDR: Your quickness is running out mid stomp.

Thanks for the clarification!! I see it now

^ I hope you guys aren’t serious. New signature btw, priceless replies here…

Yo Tokyo,

What resolution/settings do you record on?

:3

You get gems in paids, trade them for gold.

Desolation, has CN, TP, SS, DI, Curse, Skilled soloers and me. The top 20 is on desolation.

Add Color correction, some blurred/dark edges (unlike the black bars up and down the screen – we want to see your CD menagement and learn from it) and speed up the fights by a tiny bit (really, really not by much) and it will look good.
Try to synch kills/skills with music, like Defektive did – always pleasant so “feel the beat” of the video.

However, keep the slow “jumping of roof” part, i liked it. You can add some seconds of your thief’s face (recorded after on same spot, Countless did that for his PvP video, check him) before you jump in, to make it more stylish. Just don’t overdo it like in 1st 40 seconds of your video.

If an Asian can play on an NA server as home server just fine, why can’t a Euro play on an NA server as home server?

Last time I checked Euro and NA just have the Atlantic Ocean between them.

Because Asians are sent to the NA dataserver. Europeans are sent to the Eu dataserver.

Btw, NA dataserver =/= EU dataserver.

Just no. Elementalists (D/D ones, S/D ones) will always outshine a mesmer, unless they’re glass canons, which is inexistant in tpvp.

Should’ve say it’s NA.

And tbh, Temple have more depth than any of the 3 tpvp maps.

Pick an other game maybe?

Ranger shortbow? But that’s not raw power damage.

Sorry but i’m best mesmer NA playing in EU, I don’t use macros.

The 1v1 team for Storm only pisses me off. We can’t kittening leave the core tpvp settings (tournaments) to req 8 kittening teams for ONE.

overreacted. But still, better make team/team single matches the only tpvp possible.

I want Reaper’s Rumble so bad….

What the host said was a pure copypaste from what forumers said the last week. So was the whole Sotg tbh.

Yes for more pugs-stomps !! Naitoswag for president!

Using it, don’t know how could I play without it.. Could you share the settings file of yours?

You didn’t miss anything, discussed what was already discussed on forums. Tourneys are the worst type of game ever, mesmers are op and a necessity to any comp (need portal pve only, and tune down TW), rez signets seems to be fine, price of tickets too high, NA vs EU (Eu wins), Helseth’s hair and NA meta 5 month behind EU’s.

It’s called brain attunement. If you argue that 1 shatter = 1 attu switch then ye, you didn’t unlock it yet.

Because your MM give you 5 skills, our gives one single effect and needs clones.

That’s an old answer. It has no meaning unfortunately.
But well, lets wait and see.

It sure makes you good to inform us that you’re a mesmer play that is happy with the patch.

Good Guy Mesmer?

This doesn’t make macros less effective. Stop acting clueless. It just makes their use less necessary.

@jumper, top 10 qp mesmer on NA uses macro too, just check his stream for lulz.

Yo, care to give a name? Maybe i met you indeed.
Your concern is legit, I myself use this rotation when needed. But the change not in any case was aimed to prevent macros, but to prevent the 3 illusions diversion/MW combo exploit (which could be executed with macro). Doesn’t prevent players from macro-ing the shatters in any way, just prevents the abnormal damage shatters.

Jumper is pro, you can’t argue with him. l2keybind.

On topic, kitten – won’t be able to forcebug the 14k mind wracks and blame the game while people scream for exploit. 1/4 of a second is really nothing, minor change that will affect only the bug.

Funny thing, Anet didn’t fix the bug, they just made it impossible to execute. Always better to add something new instead of fixing the old kitten.

The more you play and the better you get, you can pug out people by yourself and depend less of your rank.

Anvil Rock is the HUB for NA sPvP no? Socialize with the map channel, this will help you get in good parties for frees (even for paids over time).

Keep doing hotjoins for points, once you get past 25, pug in /m for frees.

The main “tip” is to socialize with the well known active players through the channel – best weapon of a newbie (new commer).

Edit: +1 to what Butch said. As an engineer, learn to hold a point/decap it/keep it contested. Free teams usually go 1 home, 1 back of keep, rest keep. or 1 home 2 crossing to farpoint, 1 back keep 1 keep. Get the “feeling” of what’s going on with your team, will make you perform better.

7. Miku
8. Portal should be pve only.

Wikipedia is not saying the truth, you can’t trust an open source site like this one. Anyone could put any fake number.

We can’t be so sure, but when you check the Worlds, most of them are Full/High and that means alot of players (iirc around 40k per server?, read that on reddit some time ago).

However with the free perma bans handled out here and there, we can expect the population to drop, slightly.

P.P.S. I am the best fat kitten norn Guardian in the World

Hello Danto! Nice thread you guys got there.
More reasons to why EU teams don’t bother to try out NA – latency and chest bug.

Free or paid, the connection issue some players may have doesn’t change. 3 minutes is fine, make everyone “ready up” if you want to skip the wait.

Biggest issue: Fights are way too short, either they burst you in 1 sec or you burst them in 2.

Then there are unfamous “teams”, a bunch of pugs who play with each other for some time, that are still above average.

1h30 more to listen.

I like

I take the most OP build out there for the class and stick with it because that gives me a huge advantage over other builds, plus I play asura, because it gives a (slight) advantage too.

Spike.

OneArmedBandit.7936:

+1

Was playing paid pugs for the past 1.5 hours and got teamed up against Super Squad lads three times in a row, which obviously left us with gaping buttholes and shattered dreams. QQ

Indeed, worse was that we couldn’t get past Legacy.

Nobody is rank 120 yet.. maybe they are already in sPvP.

Staff conditions are way too unreliable for damage, it’s more of a CC condition weapon (daze, chill, weakness, vulnerability etc). If you want condition damage, pistol or GS are better due to the bleeds stacking abilities. In a power build with GS/X; staff is still good: iWarlock scales very good with power so it can crit for 4-6k depending on the build if in power gear.
