Guild Wars 2

Robot Chocken.7012:

http://mos.millenium.org/na/matchups/medals Here is the record since launch. Please use this accurate history to explain to me how we have been a the bottom sine launch

OMG MEDALS !!!!!!

I ll be honest with you, no matter the amount of psychological projection nobody likes JQ…nobody. This dates back from when JQ used to constantly block the Jumping Puzzle back in the days with 10 vs 1 at the entrance. This attracted a lot of people to JQ, people who enjoyed this type of behavior but were not that good in wvw.

From then on they made enemies from acting like kittenbags. Nothing has changed yet and the only thing JQ has left is paying guilds to come to their server so they can say they are T1 material…but they are not and their reputation still follows them.

For a long time JQ had relied on SoR but that changed some time ago when SoR decided to not carry JQ anymore. There is a reason JQ never ever gets the number 1 spot and it should be pretty clear by now.

JQ does not belong in T1…it never did and JQ will always a bad reputation unfortunately

Rhaegus.8924:

As BG liked to point out and rub in our face last matchup, we have had nowhere near enough coverage to win vs them or SoR.

I have a solution for you:
How about moving away from T1 and let another server in instead of trying every options to desperately stay in T1?

Mooodster.3470:

just because you dont like the reason does not mean that its not a valid reason…its character progression(notice character not account)

THIS

It is character progression.

MasterYoda.8563:

Oh please BG and JQ always 2v1 SoR

Sure and that is why BG beat both JQ and SoR yesterday when the EB SM fight lasted 2 hours with 30 sec lagfest on all skills and BG still managed to beat both servers with Noodles commanding.

If there is a 2v1 it is mostly against Blackgate because Blackgate is the top server in T1…it is as simple as that. You fight the top guys because they are the target and you hope the other server will do the same.

kuora.5402:

BG’s highly skilled roaming groups

Show us on the doll where the bad man touched you…

If this was only going on for 5 minutes it would be funny…but when you play in Tier 1 and on top of that have to deal with massive constant skill lag then this type of behavior is detrimental to anybody on the map who is participating and supporting their server.

I am not sure what is the solution as you never want to manage for the exception but I feel that an improvement to the report function is warranted and adding an option like – Trolling would help. Now the issue with this is that I very much doubt someone from Anet will have a job to respond to these quickly.

I can see that when there is a large threshold of players reporting someone for trolling and that all these players are not from the same guild for example you could have a flag set on a dev screen asking them to check the behavior.

This is going to be especially important when Leagues start.

Further more we saw already how Anet dealt with the Siege spammers months ago. It took a rather long time for them to implement a change and that change was to force players to refresh siege something that is not that annoying to do but basically required all to do to fix a problem with a minute number of people i.e managed for the exception.

Here I feel there is only one option and that is the ban hammer for that server for that account. Simply kick the player to the select-realm screen and make it impossible for them to get to that server.

Of course they can always buy a new account but this will be more dough for Anet

Peetee.9406:

Oh my bad, didn’t know I was dealing with someone that had the ability to read others’ minds.

I see you have mastered the art of fallacies

EIT: as a sidenote I think its funny that someone from the exact same server is trolling this topic…coincidence don t you think?

Peetee.9406:

I throw siege on dead players. If you don’t like it, don’t die.

Throwing siege on dead players with the intent to have your team waste supplies when they press F to revive a player is griefing

Screens of what that player is doing.

There is no option to report this behavior besides posting it here…

The report menu is flawed.

For 48 hrs on Blackgate EB BG we have had a player from one of the opposite teams constantly spamming ballista build sites on dead players and sometimes he spawns 5+ ballistas in front of gates we are attacking

The report option has NO option to report the player for griefing, there is also NO option to type any messages or contact a GM or someone to do something and ban this player.

He has been slowing down map capture and must have spammed about 500 balistas in the last 48 hours.

How are players supposed to report someone like this who constantly taunts the whole map in chat yelling that spamming balistas is not against the tos.

Monsoon.2589:

For this I side with Anet.
Rank 100 on a Warrior is NOT the same thing as rank 100 on a necro

How does this even make sense? Do you believe rank is a reflection of player skill? o.O

Simply because if you play a mesmer or necro to 100 in wvw it is very very different from playing a warrior to 100 and the ranks show this otherwise you are only asking for another global wvw meter.

This is specifically made so that you focus on one toon instead of constantly jumping. I myself would like to have the ranks shared but I also want to know how much I have played my individual classes. At the moment I am focusing on my warrior and I like that all my points go to her.

I think you are asking for too easy mode with this one because you can t make up your mind of what class you like to play and I understand that but I also understand what Anet is doing and I agree with them as this makes the game more interesting in the sense that is doesn t shink the time it takes to get to a certain rank.

Now with this said it is obviously impossible to reach rank 10.000 with alts…maybe those ranks need to be adjusted because I feel that rank grind is indeed too long

For this I side with Anet.
Rank 100 on a Warrior is NOT the same thing as rank 100 on a necro

Thank you for the LFG tool, no I may finally be able to do the dungeons of my personal story without having to use a third party tool.

Is there a preview anywhere of the tool besides the paragraph on the sept 17 post?

I had taken a break for a month and a half and came back today. I had hopes things would have improved somehow. I was disappointed.

JQ and FA just attacked SM… It was unplayable !

Sure one can move around and jump but that is it

- Could not swap weapons
- Could not cast anything but skill 1 (if lucky)
- Could not cast heals
- Could not cast any down state skills

Even skill 1 would show an animation but basically do nothing. WvW in SM is simply unplayable. People with escape skills due to lag are able to use such skills for 20+ seconds. You work on upgrading SM for hours only to have it taken in minutes due to blob creating skill lag. Not really motivating.

Can we expect any changes in the near future to fix this issue?
I am unwilling to spend any money on the game until this issue is fixed since I only play wvw.
Thanks in advance

I just been to two zones I have never been before. Only the first person in the balloon was able to loot the chest.

That balloon hunting is the worst event I have had to participate in to get a reward. If at least there was a way to track where you have been already then that would be pasable but at the moment I am stuck in two regions where there is NOBODY and I can t pass these event s alone because I am too low level I guess.

Frustrating and annoying I just logged off the game in frustration.

Not going to get caught with this stuff again…I am done with carrots, they don t work anymore.

(note: the zergs in divinity’s reach are fun and give tons of phat loot so that s cool and worth the time…the rest is meh)

Quarktastic.1027:

You only have to visit 15 zones to get the achievement.

I rest my case
how is a new player supposed to remember which zone and where over two weeks exactly? I am not even sure which ones I have visited 4 days ago. It is bad design…

The zerg fights in DR are fun…but I can t be bothered to do the individual fights no interest whatsoever.

The balloons hunting is lame and very annoying as there is no way to know which zones/balloons you have already visited. If you are alone on the map and you need to fight a champion you are screwed.

How am I supposed to know which balloons I have visited and which I have not. Just did 2 I found in a place I never visited and only one give me credit.

30 balloons at 2 per map means doing almost all zones right? How do I know where I have been before?

Melissa inspire you

Joe.8142:

Yes stop them. Also stop the supermarkets because when I go there to buy some bananas it turns out that the supermarket price is more than the person who grows them. Instead I should trek all the way to Iceland to buy some delicious Icelandic Bananas because it is cheaper buying direct.

/Sarcasm

What he said.

and because I also like good sarcasm

Does anybody cares about those guild vs guild events? I know I don t give a toss, its a waste of time and resources in a 3 servers environment.

If Anet wanted you to do arm wrestling in between only two guild then they would give you the tools to do so. In the meantime if you are doing Guild vs Guild in a BG you are wasting other people’s resources and being detrimental to your server.

WvW is for servers versus servers not two guild fighting each other

my 2 cents…I mean… copper

Since I made this thread I have been running with graphics all the way down and have not crashed once in months

Justdeifyme.9387:

Melissa is an awesome chick. I don’t like the look on her face though, all squished and weird.

But she aid you and the NPCs like to remind us about her

Its important to /map /team them so that they get booted from Vent/TS and that guild not allowed to log anymore. Does not matter if they are local trolls or the enemy…the point was that Anet has no option to report someone for harassing behavior, probably because it would require manual input and harassment is a subjective thing.

Still &isses me off that Anet would indirectly condone this by not having a report option. You get actioned on the forums for posting a screenshot of someone exploiting or hacking and you can t report people like this in game. Its almost as if you were discouraged from stirring **** up.

All is well…do not worry about anything…all is well…all is…weelllllll

EDIT: apparently using the asterix makes a post Bold

colesy.8490:

Do you not have any subtitles on?

Melissa does not believe in subtitles

Seriously it has come to this?
To the two people from the guild I can t name here who took the BG golems and purposefully destroyed them by jumping of cliffs… this kind of attitude only reinforces BG players’ idea of how pathetic the enemy is…keep it up.

The right click does not give an option to explain why the person should be reported.
Is there an email where screenshots can be sent?

2 players from obviously an opposite server just took our golems and destroyed them by jumping off cliffs.

how do you report this?

What is the point of the downed state when you do not even have the time to push any downed state skills when being zerged? why can t it be a simple timer instead of being based on damage which when you have 4 people on you means you are instantly downed and do not have time to use any skills…

…making down state useless in wvw.

Do you punish bad’s?

no but I punish people who can t write proper English. Why the ‘s? Bad’s what? his/her friends? Parents? dog? cat? what are we supposed to punish from bad?

Did you mean Bad Players? Why can t you write Bad Players? Is that a psychological condition you have? just asking…

You should not share the ranks account wide because the ranks are an individual measure for each character and NOT an account wide thing. The titles are account wide, the point you get are for the individual toons.

The analogy here is that if you are a gold medalist at curling, you can not immediately be a gold medalist at swimming simply because you excelled in another sport. The same applies here. If you have title/rank level 100 on your warrior, it is your warrior that earned it not your level 3 mesmer that you only bring for Veil during zergs when the commander needs more veils.

wvw should NOT be account wide…especially when the points mean nothing really and are also super easy to get

NO

wvw points should be toon specific. Not my problem if you only want to grind the ranks once but my Warrior is a higher level because I use him more than my Necro. My Necro is only 20 something in ranks and should NOT be 50 something because it is still being leveled and not even level 30/80

wvw rank represent the toon NOT the player or the account

Also you do NOT need wvw ranks, it is a measure of what each individual toons are doing as a progression. If you make a level 3/80 ranger and you get attacked the player will see that you are a noob as a ranger. It would make no sense to see that you have the rank of (whatever) when you have just started playing that profession.

I hope everybody managed to Stay Alive this week…
with a little bit of uh uh, and a little bit of, uh uh

It used to be zerg vs zerg. Now apparently its zerg vs map cap # players + omega golems.

Where will it end? SoR with 60 Omegas in every blobs?

DeadlySynz.3471:

1) If Anet does decide to shut off PPT during the off hours…

Why on earth would they even think about doing this?

This is as ridiculous as making dungeons drop loot only during 9am to 5pm EST.

The PPT is just a measure of the current points earnings based on the number of assets held. Shutting off the points calculations for a period would not change the fact that certain assets are held by X but it would screw up the whole point system and ranking.

When you see it…

Melissa aid you

on a sidenote I feel like JQ is really upset they got pushed into T2 and so they are trying to overcompensate to get back in T1…but shouldnt it be the last T2 server to come to T1 for rotation next week meaning JQ won’t be back from another 13 days?

/dramatic announcer voice over

In a world were every second counts…
(scenes of people fighting in SM)
Where split second decision means life or death
(wall being hit by treb/people pvdoor’ing)
What the…
(cut to kid talking into a headset)
“this is bull**** my skills are not firing…NOOO !!!!”
(a giant hammer hits the camera and screen turns black)

Lagwars2, this….(buffering)…time its the…(buffering)…server
(disconnected: your connection to the server was lost)

Troop.1369:

This thread lacks evidence

EDIT: and constructive feedback

When I posted evidence with screenshots on our server’s thread I was actioned, the post deleted and told to not attack personally people and guilds even tho it clearly showed a player who managed to phase through the gates and was clearing siege, even tho the chat was showing and saying the same thing. I also posted screens of people speed hacking…same thing, actioned, post deleted and told to not do it.

Then the next day I got an email saying I had contacted support (I complained) and was asking if I could give feedback on my positive experience (almost barfed)

You can t report on the forums. You can only report in game which is very hard to do while you are alive in combat since you can easily die to the blob and not be able to target the person…whose name is again obfuscated.

I never understood why it is called stealth instead of invisibility.

When you are stealthy you use the environment to hide…trees, bushes etc.

When you are on a desert beach with nothing but sand and someone comes out of nowhere and two shots you, that is not coming out of stealth, that is becoming visible from invisibility then facerolling then going back to invisibility.

I know I know…only mages with tears should be able to become invisible but still…why the frak is it called stealth when it clearly is invisibility?

LetoII.3782:

You both missed the point.
BG likes to claim it fights a heroic uphill battle against impossible odds during EU times. Turns out, it’s not exactly an accurate surmisal of the situation.

Thanks for verifying Iron’s stance though

I missed the memo about how BG makes PR releases and announcements for the whole server. Where are those announcements made cause I would love to subscribe to that newsletter.

These forums need a thumb down option or an ignore option

Krosslite.1950:

Per Colin in the interview Tuesday they did a Beta of it the other day and it will be out before the end of the year

Yeah!!!!
/happy dance

Playing “Taps” over dead corpses in wvw is the only reason why I want to buy the trumpet

Every time I went into the JP in the last 4 weeks its was camped by 10+ JQs. facerolling pvers who only want their JP living world achievements…that s a great way to flush some of that hanger

Since Anet has never acknowledged the server lag issue I have about zero hopes that they will do anything to fix it. I would expect that their solution will be to add more maps so they can spread the load of a server tier to several instances…but besides that i don t see them doing hardware or code fixes for this.

Fuzzion.2504:

Ljiona.9142:

The maps are way to small to have any decent roaming esp with waypoints. Now if you had to walk from your homeland borderland to SM castle, there would be plenty of ganking opportunities.

Their next map they are working on is a GvGvG map aka agramon map

Its not going to help much unless they fix the skill lag first

As for giving 500 points to people who played another game that is rather ridiculous SINCE those achievements are NOT available to GW2 players.

Titles, names and minis or other things are fine. Achievements points are increasingly hard to get and 500 is way too much when none of us are able to get those UNLESS we buy and play ANOTHER game.

The people who played GW1 already were given titles like “God amongst whatever”

Achievement points should only be related to GW2 and if an achievement exist is should ALWAYS exist and especially NOT be tied to temporary content.
