Guild Wars 2

Hitsuke.5304:

I’ve gotten into the habit of having eagle eyes for swords on camps. Far too many people fail to recognise the importance of keeping hold of them.

“Oh were running low on supps at Garri… who cares if a guy flips a fully upgraded camp”

Lazy.

Only thing I hate about camps is like at pang when I wp and I realize the stupid bats popped the swords again and I have to run all the way back lol.

I personally make sure to check the maps regularly as anything from swords, a moving sentry, or a vanishing yak can give a great pre-warning to an attack. I also like to keep a live map up so I can see the RI across all maps and which guild claimed it so I know whose running. ^^

Why, why resurrect this thread lol. Now we just get to hear people argue about the use of the word introvert again T^T

No wonder this game mode is dying. Not many good players are left in it. Everyone wants to zerg and take empty objectives..

AC spammers are not good players. If I had the choice between defending something with 15 ACs or 15 gvgers I’d take the gvgers every time.

Yes a lot of people would take the 15 players, myself included. But consider this, you don’t have 15 players. You have 2-3 people against 15-20 outside and the only thing standing between their sword and your ribs is a quickly falling flimsy gate. Now if these few guys try to fight, their gonna lose the tower and get the living heck beat out of them. But, if these guys had some siege say, arrow carts for instance, knew how to use them, and a little supply and disablers to boot, they now have a chance to save their tower. Siege isn’t always for people to afraid to fight, a lot of times it for people who are smart enough to know how to win in a bad situation.

ArchonWing.9480:

Given that people are anonymous in wvw to enemies, this was most likely intended behavior.

That, and we don’t even have an intra-server chat either; which would actually be useful.

-pauses and looks at forums specialist tag-
Hey…..where chu get dat lol?

Map chat is great and all, but put you really know you got em when they whisper you afterward with hate then block you so you can’t respond or just log, then you know you made em mad. X3

Probably because a lot of the people who’d post in it wouldn’t be quite so civil and anet doesn’t really want two servers to gang up on another though it happens anyways. There is a way to talk with individual players via joining their party or blocking em then adding to friends list but that’s the only way to do so to my knowledge.

A great group, definitely well worth a look. Stable, great community, strong players, and a variety of styles, these guys got anything you could want lol. <3

Meh personally there aren’t many things I have a problem with as far as balance goes anyways. As for thief one reason I’m looking forward to daredevil is more melee means less builds relying on stealth. No stealth means no reveal so who cares then lol. Just waiting for it to become playable full time~

I kind of like burning sometimes, if for no other reason than to let them stack up on my necro and send them hurtling back. Like nope you can keep these X3

Luclinraider.2317:

No one wants an invincible thief unloading on them….but invincible warriors are ok?

Warrior are WAY more damage, maybe not on the burst…but over the 8 seconds….heck ya. Along with their knock downs….easily.

At least you see the warrior coming lol

I would personally love to have this map back. I found it incredibly fun and think it’d be cool to bring back plus I enjoy underwater combat. ^^

Tigaseye.2047:

Balance, in WvW, is pretty much non-existent.

Especially as stealth is so useful, in so many situations.

I finally (and very reluctantly) gave up on my Ranger to play Mesmer and I wouldn’t go back, unless Ranger also got some decent (non-targeted) stealth.

I’m not really happy about the situation, but what can you do?

Lol I don’t see why I’ve killed plenty of Mesmers snide the patch on my ranger. Half of them can’t function after you take their stealth away with sic em because most of what they do revolves around precious stealth lol. It helps that I have been a main Mesmer and know how to use it and what to look for though.

I played gw1 for years but sadly due to a horrible mistake on my part I only ended up with 8 HOM points lol. Sadly for me of my 9 characters 8 were pvp only and that didn’t get me the points I needed for the fiery dragon sword. Needed two more points and I’d be there lol, only got 8 bc of my fascination with mini’s back then lol. X3

Kumion.7580:

HaxTester.9816:

When will sale end? So I can stop hoping for that character slot and bag slot sale.

Extended til the 14th, ends @ 9am.

So, this is it. No character slot sale.

Sad but true. Man that sucks, already planned the look for 5 more characters and was preparing a 6th. That’s gonna hurt later when I look at my wallet T^T

Bump! Come to NSP for the only welcome you’ll ever need! <3

Three things;

First of all, welcome to GW2! Glad to see more new players joining up and enjoying the game with us. ^^
Secondly, love the video, really well done and I thought it was really cool.
Lastly….yay for asura’s! Lol love those little guys so was really happy to see the video based around them. <3

gannondorf.7628:

I want myself the moon but, i don’t know why, i never have it.

Moon is mine, I called dibs long ago. >u>

Hats off to all the people in this thread who actually know about Abaddon and the. Margonites. <3

Lol now that we have free to play accounts besides worrying about trolls we also have to worry about more spies and this would just give them something else to do. Not to mention a 1 hour ban isn’t really much when you take into consideration that one person can go into a t3 tower/keep that people have been upgrading for hours and just build their own cata, making it impossible to remove them and promising that sooner or later the wall will come down and the enemy can walk right in. Gonna have to respectfully say no to this one.

Ixionic.7095:

Arena Net only cares about every other class except for the Engineer.

Lol really? Another one of these? Why is it that almost every class thinks Anet doesn’t care about them. I’ve seen a few if these already and we’re not even halfway through the week yet. “Anet hates warriors, Anet hates thieves, Anet hates engineers, etc etc etc….” Anet doesn’t hate your class and I personally see nothing wrong with it. I’ve met quite a few good roaming engis, seen a few with decent survive in zergs, so what is it you think their missing that every other class has lol?

Holland.9351:

Do they have anything to prevent defenders from being pulled off the new walls and floating platforms?

I hope not lol, I find that to be one of the most hilarious things in WvW. Else about to cast meteors on our group? Nope- yoink! X3

Daendur.2357:

Moonlit.6421:

cut… In my opinion it gives thieves a way of fighting without having to rely on stealth to survive…cut

can you please tell me on what you rely to survive? because frankly 1more dodge didn’t keep me alive very well under a mesmer burst, or fighting a necro and his km^2 of GTAoE, or focused by 2ppl, or chased forever by a reaver…

thieves are too squishy to stay visible… a lot of time we die stealthed, with enemies that just spam random attacks…

Well you can’t exactly expect to be pro and go around killing already established builds after you’ve played it for a day. It may not be quite perfect yet but it’s still being developed and there’s no point in bashing it before it’s even out the door lol.

So you don’t like it that the new weapon has it’s own set of skills and doesn’t follow the exact same mechanic as all the other weapons is what your saying? In my opinion it gives thieves a way of fighting without having to rely on stealth to survive and personally I found it rather fun to play this new mechanic. If you don’t like it though than by all means just stick with the stealth weapons and don’t play it.

Doam.8305:

Character slots probably won’t happen at all as while we get a free slot with HoT don’t the more expensive bundles come with an additional character slot?

But that’s just it, I bought the ultimate and got the 2 slots but that’s not enough! I need at least 5 more, heck maybe even more than that with the elite specs coming out, so that I’ll have everything I need lol. I’ve already got 12 that are filled up, but the gems that it would costs to buy 5-6 more hurt my mind just thinking about it lol. Besides I’m a firm believer in fashion wars 2, it’s one of the reasons I want the new slots for new looks, so the more characters I have the more likely I am to buy stuff for them from the gem store. It’s a win win in my case. X3

I just want character slots to go on sale, if I can just get this it’ll make everything worth it lol. Plz anet <3

Random.4691:

Don’t be lazy, either you’re curious and thus you should go search, or you don’t want to search and therefore do not care at which point you have no reason to even argue the point.

Lol that’s like a teacher asking you a question and you telling them “I don’t know you have the book to, why don’t you tell me?” If you can’t even be bother to support your own argument then you have no business posting it in the first place making you just another person looking for something to complain about in what’s supposed to be a game meant for fun.

FOX.3582:

If you don’t know it, then please do not say anything. OP is right. You can block people and keep spamming them until they block you too.

No, you can’t. If you try to whisper someone you have blocked, you get an error. You have to either unblock that person or simply appear offline. Check your facts.

OP: They’re not whispering you while they have you blocked; they’re either Invisible or are taking you off block/putting you back on block. Simply block them.

RosseofGilead : you are completly right

Just testet it with an friend. i blocked him and try to whisper

Network error

please check your internet connection and try again

Code……

so now grumpy guys you need a new topic why anet shoud be ashamed

lets try this one:

The harassment and invisible

Please make it so players that are invisible can’t spam you with messages. Thank you.

.

Are you sure it hasn’t been changed recently? I met a guy a couple of weeks ago who blocked me then continued to whisper because during the messages I tried to respond and it would tell me this user has blocked you and refuse to let me whisper or send mail whenever I tried despite multiple messages from him in succession.

I personally prefer it the way it is though I respect your viewpoint. I’m one of those people who likes the lore and everything behind GW2 though and put a lot of effort into my characters and their background so when I run by and see the hipster rocker star humans and the giant male Norn in pink skirts I’ll admit I’m not overly fond lol. ^^"

Just because you hate it doesn’t mean the majority of the player base does lol. Personally I liked the mordrem one best at the end, it was my favorite, but I still recognize tat hey there are a lot of people out there who love quaggans and are going to use the new ones, so what? There’s plenty of other emblems to choose from, use one of them lol.

Zaron.1987:

lol really shame on you anet . what have you done?!

we player are too lalala in our brains to get the simply workaround: block them too and all is fine

but noooooo thats too easy

just be ashamed anet!

Its not really about the simple solution though it’s about the illogical mechanic that lets people still msg you after there’s supposed to be no contact.

Random.4691:

Go look for many of the statements made by Devon if you want to see the hollow promises. Why people think others need to prove anything to them is beyond me, to be clear I don’t care if you want to stick your head in the sand, if you’re curious do the work and look, it shouldn’t be to difficult.

Because basic logic dictates if you make a point then you should have something to back it up. You said something and the guy asked for the evidence that made you come to that conclusion, telling him that you don’t have to prove anything to him and that he should find evidence to back up your argument himself just makes your own comment look pointless.

Beorn Saxon.4762:

I’m probably one of the few that is pretty pumped about the changes. WvW is going to be different, we truly can’t critique it until we’ve played it for a while.

Yes, we can speculate, but that will only get you so far. Between the new map, elite specializations, new guild functions… WvW is going to feel like a whole new game. I’m sure people will be grumpy, change is always hard. Just look at it as if this were launch day all over again.

My guild is actually very excited for the upcoming changes. We focus a lot on defending and upgrading our side and are extremely eager to get our hands on these new upgrades and tools as fast as possible. <3

Random.4691:

It was explained that we did not desire the Golem event, and if they were going to go ahead with it, they needed to limit how long it lasted, they ignored it and the die hards didn’t log in for the week.

It was explained that some people did not desire the golem event. Personally I found it fun, took is as a game like its meant to be, and enjoyed all the chaos and randomness of it all and saw plenty of other WvW players doing the same throughout the week both on my server and others. Saying all the “die hards” chose not to log in for a week in just wrong lol since I saw a lot of the same ppl I’ve seen on my server since launch still log in and still fight and have fun. I’m sorry but if you can’t handle other people have fun in a game and decide your just gonna rage quit for a week because you don’t like it that’s not Anet’s problem lol.

Random.4691:

If they would work with us and run things by us and actually listen to our constructive feedback you would see a lot less complaining.

Would you honestly see less complaining? Key words I see in posts like these are things like “us” and “our” but the thing is…..a lot of “us” don’t agree with one another on anything lol. For everything you suggest there will always be those people that dislike it and want the exact opposite. You have ppt’ers, roamers, defenders, pugmanding, guild raiders, fight guilds, etc and everyone’s always going to want something lol. No matter what you do people will still be people and people are going to complain lol.

Are you looking for armor to go with the guy you posted or are you unsatisfied with his base look? If you don’t like the human faces you could always make a really short and skinny Norn if that’s the case.

I wouldn’t mind a margonite outfit or tonic.

Meh it could use a bit of tweaking but I don’t really consider anything game breaking for me lol. Sometimes I pvp and beat the heck out of people, sometimes they beat the heck out of me, big whoop who cares lol. At the end of the day this is a game and I’m playing it to have fun, that’s the wonderful thing about the game. If you don’t like it it’ll be over soon and you can start a new one. Heck if I get into a match and I’m fighting my least fav builds and getting my butt handed to me, I refuse to leave and screw my team worse lol. Win or lose I’ll stick it out till the match is over and still type a gg before I pop out in the aftermath. Just have fun and enjoy it for what it is, a game. If your not having fun anymore may be time to reevaluate where you spend your time. =)

I’ve honestly never really thought about it lol. When I see swords on a point my first thought isn’t the terrain I’ll be fighting on or the best ground, it’s more of a “coming to get you” mentality lol. By the time I get there I’ve already got a good idea of whose waiting for me but regardless it’s not going to stop me from jumping in. I fight for fun so I’ll kill yah anywhere yah please. ;3

Lol these kind of people are hilarious, I love getting hate mail, especially when they rage quit and log or are cowards and just block you after. Gives me a bit of twisted satisfaction knowing that I somehow managed to get some random guy kittened off at me, sometimes without even realizing it. Had a guy about two week ago who messages me after about 5 games had gone by since he left. Told him didn’t know who he was which got em more upset, didn’t remember till like a half hour later after he’d blocked me. X3

yanoch.7051:

I’m on NSP since launch. One of the mosts stable if not the most stable server outside of T1 since launch. I pretty much play with the same people for almost 3 years now. We all know each other very well. We have drama sometime but the server usually get over it. NSP as a bit of everything.(Guilds, commanders, solo roamers and everything in between.)

The only thing we really don’t have is a sea/ocx crew but on the good side it keep us balanced since we really have a good euro/us pop.

Same here. Never had the desire to switch so ever since launch I’ve stuck with NSP. There’s a little bit of everything here it seems from a few core fight guilds, pugmanders, havoc squads, roamers, and even the occasional group of roaming quaggas. The community is great, never had a problem with anything here, and people are free to pretty much do their own thing.

But…but….if you nerf burning I can’t laugh at burn guards when I send all their burning back on my necro =<

DarkSyze.8627:

i logged in wvw to try a new build and guess what i saw?: mesmers everywhere: instant killing a lot of players with clones. Is this the result of their “nerf”? ? I just can’t wait for the new temporary generation of new players to Congratulate Arena net of "How Challenging, Fun, Risk-Rewarding, Innovating with Skill Play base Wvw is*

Remember : the marketing word is " FUN "

Temporary generation of new players ?

They Soon Will Find Out Your Words Do Not Add Up And Will Leave "

With GW2 Anniversary of 3 Years: WvW will just be an endless cycle of empty words and lies.

-that is all-

I see plenty of other people who know how not to get 1 shotted lol, maybe those people need to learn as well. Ah wouldn’t that be wonderful, then they can actually win fights instead of losing to a walking bag and calling for nerfs lol.

Lol I love focus just for the fun pull. It’s so gratifying pulling an enemy off a tower wall into your Zerg in wvw or trolling in EOTM, yanking poor person after person off the cliffs and sending them falling into the mists lol. X3

Many Pesky Monk.3140:

Not adding anything at all for 8 months is not good, especially for a game with limited challenging PvE content as is.

I happily invite you to WvW then lol, where the newest thing we’ve had in who knows how long is the golem rush event (which I personally found kinda fun lol) that a good percent of people hated. A land of often perpetually same matches, same maps, and same mechanics since who knows when forsaken by the outside world including events, holidays, and lore. A place where hackers and spies find a safehaven, where amazing loot rarely abides, and where new exploits are found faster than the old ones can be fixed. A land I happily call home lol. Not saying pve couldn’t use another update, but you can hardly say it’s been abandoned when overall it’s perhaps the most catered to mode lol. X3

Nuthin personal by the way as it was more of an offhand comment made since I almost never see a thread about this. ^^"

That’s what happens when they take stealth and turn it into something completely ridiculous. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the mesmers you run into today, were thieves before the big patch.

That may explain why so many of the new Mesmer roamers are complete trash. People who played thief rerolled as Mesmer and know little to nothing about the class. Glad you agree it’s a benefit lol

The there should be no problem for you.

Overall they aren’t lol. Two little Asura mesmers tried to kill me while I was walking to a camp earlier this weak on my necro and both lost. As I play both shatter and condi Mesmer myself there were some mistakes I could pick out that could have been easily avoided had they more synergy. I’ve met single mesmers who are actually good and capable of surviving and even winning 1v2’s but the average one I’ve seen so far, nope lol. X3

Sirbeaumerdier.3740:

Ash.5034:

I am a mesmer.

I enjoy chasing down the the opposition in keep etc.

I disagree it is a major problem in WvW.

The big groups move on and don’t check.

Because they can’t be bothered – not a balance issue.

I lost count of how many times 20+ ppl had to take more than 15 min to finally get mesmers out of a keep or SM and many involved were definitely not idiots or bad players. It’s simply too easy for a good mesmer to escape with the tool he has and it is annoying as kitten.

Lol that’s a tad bit sad. Whenever the guild I’m in participates in a take of a tower or keep for towers we have one of our mesmers go around and sweep for any dropped portals while the Zerg moves on and for keeps we typically have around 2-4 stay and do a full sweep then wipe out any Mesmer we find inside. We can almost always do this within the time RI is up so I see no reason why a zerg shouldn’t be able to in less lol. A major reason zergs spend so much time on mesmers in my opinion is a lack of info. The average player doesn’t know even the most basic of spots and in Zerg mentality just run around with the group waiting for a target to be called so they can shoot at it. It’s not that their bad players just that they fail to understand the mechanic. As a portal Mesmer myself I’ve literally just stealthed and turned around and walked right pas the group chasing me bc they just assume you’ll keep walking forward lol, people just need to learn how portal Mesmer works then they can stop it easy.

CodeHavoc.7926:

Currently mesmers can be easily exploited, whether it’s having stealth that last longer than a thief, sneaking into a enemy camp without having to break a gate and stealing all the supply or just trolling the camp lord (which shouldn’t be happening) or just stun locking you to death, bringing you to 0 health in seconds.

Trying to understand your post lol. For one camps don’t have gates so I’m going to assume you mean towers and keeps. Mesmers can’t sneak into enemy towers and keeps and they certainly can’t waste their supply. To get in they either have to take it and hide when it’s flipped back or have the wall knocked down for them, they don’t just fly over it lol. They also can’t touch enemy supply so that points mute. As for messing with camps every class can solo camps so nothing new there either lol

Did I really just read a thread that said pve is abandoned lol? X3

EremiteAngel.9765:

Everywhere I go, I bump into Mesmer roamers…
Lone wolf or wolf packs…
Harsh and cold in the wintry desert…
If Mesmers were wells, one would never thirst in the desert of WvW…

And you always kill them right? Because half of them don’t understand the class mechanics well and a lot are new so what your saying is your thankful for the free bags right?

Lol you may meet the occasional good one who puts up a fight but overall a lot are terrible lol. Fought 3 yesterday in WvW on necro, won 2/3, (3rd guy had reinforcements come but he prolly would have won anyways lol), but the other two were straight easy. One was pure glass who got hit by two life blasts, tried to stealth and heal, then got down by life transfer while in stealth. If you know enough about Mesmer it’s really easy to counteract a lot of these guys so I don’t see to big of a problem with it lol.

Lol I love how it’s been barely even a day since the last thread with the exact same topic ended yet there’s already another one of these back up.

Has stealth increased? Sure it has, and it’s made things a little bit easier for some of the less experienced mesmers to get away with hiding, but that’s not the only problem. A sad fact is that so few people have made an effort to learn and understand mesmers and their portals in WvW that many know next to nothing, giving the Mesmer an almost instant win for steal thing sometimes because they just don’t know what to do lol. After all this time people still don’t know even half of the tricks, they still don’t know a lot of the hiding spots, and they still don’t know the signs to look for. The average player just does not know these things because they’ve never taken the time to learn them or had someone to teach them and so they are almost useless at sweeping because they have absolutely no idea where to go lol. Until people understand the mechanic, their just going to continue to fail lol.
