Guild Wars 2

Azure.8412:

I’m waiting for BGs revenge on our dominance today really soon. Can’t wait for them to rush us hard in our weak timezone to plummet us to 0-50ppt. Some things are just easily predictable. Something exactly like last week will happen: )

Revenge? BG wants revenge?

That s funny I saw full map zerg SoR on one side of our keep and a full map zerg JQ on the other trying to spawn camp BG so that SoR could take their keep and you think it is BG wanting revenge? BG is just having fun…JQ is like paper and SoR likes to run a lot…so

Seems to me two servers got some serious pain in the lower backs and are the ones wanting revenge. If it hurts that much you should consult a specialist…or maybe add more fiber in your diet

Its great isn t it to have a full map zerg of serve X on one side then full map zerg of server Y on the other side and the third server in the middle and basically nothing happening…no skills, no heals no nothing. Even as far as spawn camps impossible to heal.

Awesome…that really requires skills both from the attackers and the defenders.

Anet fix this crap please

This is now getting ridiculous.
T1 is UNPLAYABLE as soon as two servers are in the same place.

Once again tonight BG got its weekly Sor + JQ attacking our keep and we had a good hour of no skills, no heals, no nothing happening.

I mean one can move around but that is about it.

The game at this point is not playable…that means unplayable and it is not acceptable. We have been saying this for weeks and the threads are not even acknowledged. What is being done and how long is this going to take?

This guy really wants that veil. :P

The only thing about this I could think of was “More dots” and “You are going to dps very very slowly” and “minus 50dkp”

HAHA I won t name names but there are two servers on EB who seem to be very upset and have a booboo at the moment with both focused on the same single objective…I wonder what it is rofl.

You guys are so entertaining

Pixelninja.6971:

JQ is clearly the best server in the EB jumping puzzle. You should start recruiting guilds from there.

I lol’ed because it is so true

Woof.3406:

JQ has given up already that they resort to camping JP’S….Enjoy 3rd place this week.

They are doing this to block people from completing the achievement meta that ends tomorrow. Without finishing the Aetherblades dungeon you can t get the meta completed for the points and rewards.

This is not the first time that I have seen JQ do this and this is why I can not stand them. Two days ago I managed to sneak in and complete it surrounded by SoR players who also just wanted to complete the meta. In front of both of us were a large group of JQ who were spawn camping the entrance.

I don t mind pvp…I mind the bully behavior of a losing server who wants to take revenge on players who do not pvp and are forced to get in a pvp JP to finish a timed meta. NONE of the many SoR I passed by in the JP attacked…only JQ. Always JQ

And people wonder why you have such a bad reputation

I have a Killer Instinct 2 Arcade in my living room so last night after SoR and JQ tried for two hours to take BG’s EB keep the only thing I could think of was:

So does that mean we will still be able to get tickets that way after July 9th? Or will it simply be a silver/gold race reward?

The server lag also seem to favors an attacker versus a defender since the only skill that seems to be able to fire is #1 so strategies are used to take the lag and use it as an advantage. It is easier to attack with a single skill then defend.

PariahX
Leaving one’s guild and friends to be able to play on another server alone is not a solution. The problem is a hardware one and moving to another server will not fix the issue.

It is up to us to keep pressure on Anet so that at least they acknowledge the issue and fix it. For as long as the game was released it has been virtually impossible for more than 2 servers to try to take on SM at the same time.

Fuzzion.2504:

Monsoon.2589:

To the OP: The proper way to write a Match Title is by Alphabetical order of the servers.

Ah yes, let me look at my imaginary “Guild Wars 2 Manual on thread writing for matchups” :P

The wise accepts that he does not know everything about the world.
The fool makes a mockery of what he does not know or understand

docMed.7692:

Agreed, it has gotten worse; but they have acknowledged (not too recently) that they are working on the problem. If it was something easy it would already be worked out, but managing that much data all on the server side is probably rather difficult to figure out unfortunately.

It has been almost a year now

I really do not mind hard dungeons. What I can not stand is spending the whole evening in LA spamming for LFG for that dungeon. Anet needs to implement a LFG tool ASAP.

Third party sites are useless for temp content. At the moment on the one everybody keeps linking there are only 2 lfgs for that dungeon and both require people who have already completed it and only want the special achieves.

the ridiculousness of the difficulty to find people to do a dungeon in GW2 is astounding. I can not believe the game requires you to spam either in front of the dungeon or in LA for hours to be able to find a group when we already have a LFG system inplace in game…the one we use to get in wvw

Any ETA on a proper LFG tool?
Tonight it was virtually impossible to find a group for Aetherblade dungeon. All the trolls in /m in LA were saying to use a third party site. That site only had LFGs for people who had already finished the dungeons and wanted to do the special achievements and another group wanted to only do after the first boss.

It is really time you guys gave us a proper LFG tool you already have one in the game with wvw and have 4 BGs in it…just expand that to include all dungeons and voila.

Why should we have to use a third party site to be able to run a dungeon? Typing LFG in LA for a whole evening to be able to do content is ridiculous.

This is really frustrating. Please implement a LFG asap

Nurvus.2891:

Everyone is flaming the OP on his choice of words, when the thread title still holds its entire meaning.
There’s nothing Legendary about obtaining a Legendary.
There’s the rich, and there’s the lucky.
There’s no Legendary in that.

Well yeah that is basically it.

If you are wealthy you can buy gems, turn them into gold and buy your legendary, making sure the prices will increase on the TP so that other wealthy players can buy more gems and drive the prices higher.

Or you could be a total noob and log in kill a mob and get your precursor…nothing legendary about it

Prices are always going up…not down.
In 6 months those precursors will be worth 2 or 3 times what they are worth now.

What I really can not stand about this legendary system is the fact that it requires so much RNG. I left wow because of RNG within RNG. This system to me is not casual friendly. I don t mind working at this everyday if I can see the end of the tunnel. But I mind having to rely on RNG to be able to get a legendary.

Legendary means you should have worked on it a lot way more than most people.

What I learned from EB BG:
- SoR Only runs as a single massive mega zerg to lag everybody to hell

When you can not use skills a mile from the fight the issue becomes a Anet one. Winning by lagging everybody to hell is probably a strategy but it is a lame one at best if I may say so. I get 1 fps when the SoR zergotron comes in. No way to act, no way to escape no means to defend oneself, can t play… simply free bags loots for them.

oh and this is not a rant towards SoR as this is a legitimate strat…my problem is with Anet and it is sad because my favorite fights are the large ones with SoR on one side of the keep and JQQ on the other but at that point you can t use any skills whatsoever because the server is lagged to hell which makes defending almost impossible.

I really wish Anet would fix this

xaosmonkey.4210:

confirmed on my end. Seamless paypal transactions once again.
Nicely done, thanks!

Just as a sidenote, every body should try to avoid using Paypal. They are on the list of worst companies in the US and maintain a monopoly on payments for Ebay.They have the worst customer service in the world and should be treated like Ticketmaster. Paypal acts like a bank without following any of the bank restrictions and protections for its customers.

It is nice for Anet to provide this as a method of payment but one should honestly think about continuing to give money to paypal. Further more paying Anet by credit card directly saves Anet fees.

Just a friendly reminder

One more week passes by…. I am alone on this island and the batteries from my radio are slowly dying. I have tried many times to contact someone with the hope of hearing from another person but it seems my transmitter is not strong enough.

Maybe they are ignoring my calls for help… I will try again next week

Jahn.7019:

It also requires a lot of young players in school or the jobless. No adult player with a family or job could afford to do that.

BG in general does seem like a younger population. It must be nice to have the flexibility to play whenever and for as long as you want. Oh how I miss having no responsibility sometimes.

Enjoy being young and free while you can. :-)

This is a very narrow minded way to see things.

I am busy 12 hours a day in an ER and I find the time to relax enough to play when I get back home. Not all players are kids or unemployed this is such a bad statement to make. Most people in guilds in T1 I guess have jobs and busy ones and you also forget the different countries and time zones

Visiroth.5914:

They can “fix” that right after they make it so ACs inside can’t fire at the door and hit rams/players outside.

exactly…both are stupid mechanics. The worst is cata inside a keep firing at their own door and not damaging it. Whoever thought of these deserves a medal. And still all other physics apply. /facepalm

How is this even possible

Arrow Carts are physically firing THROUGH the roof of the doors.
Either you plug that hole above the doors or your encourage people from using visual “aids” to be able to target ANYTHING anywhere.

Arrows should NOT be able to fire through the roof of the door simply because you have LOS. In this screen the AC is to the left of the door (the right on the screen). The person was almost against the door and was able to take ALL sieges inside Durios.

This should not be happening

Hockey.2417:

nice zoom hack, yes there was a treb there, and no there was not an arrowcart below, 2 ac’s aprox 5 feet off wall, by door,SoR is out of control.

This was happening all night last night. I stayed up till 3am and cart way inside towers were able to be targeted. Anet really needs to step up because it severely and seriously penalizes the defenders

At this point I want to say that double teaming to take an objective is lame not in the sense that it is unfair but in the sense that the game is unable to handle it. I don t mind large awesome fights like last night but we all experienced the lameness that is nothing firing but #1.

No heals, you are able to move but none of your skills work and this is the main problem with large fights and I hope Anet fixes this crap because it really makes awesome fights unplayable.

I would love nothing more than 200 people in the same area pwning each other but when you can t even cast a heal or a second spell it makes the whole thing worthless and lame.

Fix the lag guys

I wanted to say I enjoyed the attacks on the BG blue keep last night in EB from midnight to 2.40am US. JQQ on one side and S**otum of Raoul on the other. At one point we all thought that S**otum of Raoul was going to give our keep to JQQ but they decided to take it instead of giving it away.

JQQ was left running around like chicken with their heads chopped off. Our commanders managed to take back the Keep, Langor and Bravost and it was the end of the loot bags feast extraordinaire…so we logged off.

Very nice fights going from one side of the keep chasing up to langor then back in the keep chasing the other server back to Bravost. Blackgate is Beastgate !

< —-- over there are people jumping in the dark.
Over there are people fighting for their server —-- >

It has always bothered me that I could not do WvW for example with a top hat or wearing my pirate outfit. I mean its not like the other side absolutely needs to know what profession I am because just from sound alone you should be able to recognize what class you are fighting.

So…what is the reason why one can not wear silly clothing in wvw? What is the devs reasoning behind this? I for one would buy a lot of stuff with gems if I knew I could use the costumes in wvw

JQQ

Jayne.9251:

Click on an enemy player.

Type /invite or /join

Talk.

Of course it’s up to them if they want to group up with you or not, but typically /bow before the invite is universally recognized as an invite to duel.

Oh THATS what it means…
I keep taking all my clothes off for some good ERP and then always get attacked

Are you guys also having the bird glitch in WvW?

What I learned playing wvw EB:

Blackgate is Bestgate
**rotum of Raoul only runs in a single massive zerg
JQQ likes arrow carts a lot

I also learned that it is important to not take things too seriously especially games in which there are 3 teams involved and that you sometimes see things where there are none. As for double teaming I would say what we are all seeing is servers taking opportunistic shots and not automatically commanders from diff servers talking to each other.

I really wish I could come up with a good innuendo nickname for JQ

Kruzis.7419:

Sactum of Rall finally had their chance for once, when IRON joined our server, but now Jade Quarry and Blackgate have teamed up against Sactum of Rall. And we are going to get kicked out of tier 1, because one server cannot take down two servers combined. Who thinks Arena Net should stop this problem?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
(breathes)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Someone from SoR accusing Blackgate of double teaming them…this is a joke right? this is not a real post but someone pulling our leg right?

If someone needs to learn the definition of “psychological projection”…this is it

Before being recruited this is what you are being led to believe

Then once you are in you realize it is in fact

Choo choo train…then we nap before our next Gerber

EDIT: I don t think you can fix the brand name anymore. It is forever linked to kids playing train conductor and riding on mini trains. The only way to not have people laughing and giggling would be a name change probably.

Kyo.7369:

Choo Choo, Pain Train comin’ through.

If by “train” you mean zerg and if by “pain” you mean “plain” then yes…

choooo chooo….am ona train

I believe I am not the only one to be confused and have a lot of questions about transmutation and skins.

In my opinion the current system is not user friendly. I still don t know how to remove the wings I got from the AH and give them to another toon. There are no guides in game, there is no intuitive way to know how to do things with skins. How do the transmutation stones work? Do I need to use the mystic forge?

I would like to buy the new steampunk skin but I have no idea how it works and if I can share it with whatever that month my main is. Do I have to buy the skin for all my toons? How do you move a skin from one character to another?

Apparently I need a white item backpack in order to transmute the wings but there is no white backpack item unless you buy a backpack like the Quagan one. Which bring another question. Why isn t there a backpack item until level 33+?

I remember when I first bought the Quagan backpack I had no idea that there was a leather strap needed and my bag had a lot of stuff in them. I probably sold the thing or salvaged it to tell you the truth.

Wouldn t this whole process make much more sense to have a dedicated skin/appearance slot just like the color dyes? Click a skin tab, place the wings skin in there, pay whatever fee is necessary…then when you need to move the skin set to another toon you go to a npc and just like traits are able to reset them and the skins appear in your inventory account bound. Wouldn t that make more sense? At least to me it would.

Please make your skin system more user friendly.

two massive zergs of 60 people to fight is the only way you guys can beat Beastgate

I find it interesting that Blackgate needs to be double teamed to be beaten.
Even double teaming blackgate it took you an hour to take our keep…rofl

Wallace MacBix.2089:

Another creepy interpenetration a la star trek or stargate. When you wp you are just using a transporter/stargate: you are “killed”, broken down into basic matter, converted into energy, transported X distance, that energy is converted back into basic matter, and it is rearranged back into you.

Just think when you revive back at a wp that a new clone of yourself is made. That NPC was just not lucky enough to be stored “in buffer.”

Sorry but when a frog revives a dead frog they are not being rematerialized at a waypoint…they are just revived. No cloning just plain healed from death as if death was a simple virus. So again…how can people die?

My point was that Logan was investigating a murder…why isn t the person who was killed able to be revived? What Lore explains this?

actually all npcs can revive other npcs you see that all the time in quests and in the world in general

So I went to Divinity’s Reach to follow on the dragon story and the cut scene had Logan who wanted to hire a woman because X had been murdered. And then it hit me: how can someone be murdered and die in a universe where anybody even pets can be revived?

So… how does someone die exactly since…nobody can die?
My brain hurts!

Blackgate is Beastgate !
It was never called Blackhole and if it is going to be called Blackhole it will be because of the place where Sor and Jade dead players disappear into when we /sit on their corpses

EDIT: I just saw a full Jade server zerg on EB…never saw all the players from a single server in the same zerg. Thats some serious skillz there Lou

WTB server that can t receive transfers.

But aren t you also supposed to get a stats less backpack from doing your story…I thought one of the rewards at a certain level was your first backpack without stats.

I know cause I think I salvaged it the first time I played not knowing it was super important to keep it otherwise you would have to wait until much later to be able to buy one on the TP.

I wish the system for these backpack skins was reworded into something that would be much much more user friendly than the current system which is confusing and not intuitive unless you have read about it here or someone told you about.

I see…thanks. Cost is not an issue. I was only worried about having the wings stuck on a toon I might not want to play anymore

Do we know if the rare wings can also be moved that way to another character or are they soulbound?

1) I have a quagan backpack on a level 80. I just started a new character and I do not know how to remove the quagan skin from that character and apply it to my new one. I think there is a way to pay for it at an NPC but I don t remember how

2) The rare wings that drop during the dragon event/festival ie the ones you can buy with 100000 candy…are those also able to be swapped for another character? I would hate to have to get 5 of those wings, one for each character…that would be impossible

So please let me know the process to remove a backpiece skin and if you can do that to the rare spectral wings of the dragon festival/event

thanks in advance

I am obviously going to point the finger at the mmo I left to come and play GW2. They had a way for me to see my achievement and characters on their website instead of having to be in the game.

Is Anet working on or thinking about providing this functionality too so we can see our achievements on the site?
