What will happen to the people that just give up mid-match and afk the entire round? I’ve been in plenty of matches that were close until a player decided it just wasn’t worth it and stopped playing. They move around so they don’t get timed out, but do nothing for the game.
Could a timer be added to leave the starting area so if someone decides to do this they either need to take the dishonor, continue playing, or be kicked?
If you’re doing this again this weekend (11/22) I would be interested in participating.
Hey,
I’m looking to improve at pvping. Would anyone be interested in dueling or doing some team play? I’m a Guardian. Here is my build. Feel free to critique.

Basically, I know most classes are faster than I am so I try to put on the damage and go heavy on burn so if they do run away they die from the fire.

When I watched it, it doesn’t look like a map. It looks like a dungeon. It is very linear and the idea of paths would fit with the other plant dungeon, Twilight Arbor.
Accessibility- referring to time spent doing it. Not everyone has 6 hours of free time.
Skill
Reward- It obviously shouldn’t be a 30 minute mission either, but make it worth my time. Give me something other than champ boxes. I would love unique skin drops.
Proposal Overview
Bring back Fissure of Woe or Underworld, but run the maps like Drytop. All players working together for some larger reward, in the case a large boss battle.
Goal of Proposal
Encourage high levels of cooperation.
Proposal Functionality
Mechanics are Drytop are already exist.
Underworld is already mentioned with the existence of Shadow Behemoth
If made a general map, you wouldn’t need to increase party sizes, but could cap the map so the X number of people that make it in do have work together.
Use mega-server tech to prioritize putting parties and guilds in the map
Associated Risks
“Imperfect groupings”
maps without enough people to achieve the goal
Probably not a raid as some people would view it
They absolutely can. Just know there really isn’t any auto-win build. While meditation is probably the best way to go, it will still require a lot of practice and experience fighting different builds.
Proposal Overview
GvG as a PvP mode
Goal of Proposal
Allow Guilds to interact in a different way for the glory of their guild and server.
Proposal Functionality
Adding a mode to the PvP tab to be joined like solo queue or team queue.
Associated Risks
There are probably a lot, but I’m not going to pretend to be a game designer or programer. I just think the idea is cool.
I’d also like to see 100% rep in a guild be rewarding in some way. A lot of guilds ask for it, but outside of getting gkicked it would be cool to be recognized as a supporter of particular guild in some visible way.
Hey, title says it all. I’m looking for a team to try out the tournament of glory. I’ve played all aspects of the game since Beta and I have a little over 500 spvp games under my belt with a 52% win average. I know if I had a coordinated team I would have a better record. Please be part of that coordination.
Message me in game as Karm Nevets or through this website.
Hello,
I have played a lot of spvp, but I’m looking to try some tpvp. I’m really interested in playing the Tournament of Glory. I play a balanced Guardian (I know it isn’t meta). If you’re looking for a team or willing to try me out (I happy to do tryouts and love constructive feedback) whisper me: Karm Nevets.
A new class also needs to make sense to what is happening the game. Just adding one to add one is silly. Work it into the living story, like, I hope, they are going to continue to work in new skills and, hopefully, new weapons for classes into the game.
I would love to see a system like wardrobe that allows players to save stat combinations once they have been crafted. Right now if a player puts the time into creating one type of armor stat and later changes their mind they have to keep the armor in storage just in case they want to use it again or destroy it. Why not unlock stat combinations? It would promote crafting for skins and stat unlock and allow players the freedom to feel like they can experiment.
Just my two cents. Feel free to replay, flame, or ignore.
I like the megaderver. The boss schedule will have me doing less events because real life doesn’t work out that I can be on for teq or three headed wurm which bums me out. I will just Pvp more.
I chose celestial gear and was happy with the previous stats, but I feel we got unfairly hit in this patch. With damage reduction and crit reduction I am sitting with ascended armor that wasn’t meta, wasn’t a problem but made worse.
As a disclaimer : I have liked the changes to date. In fact this is the first complaint I’ve had, because of the extra time it takes to make ascended I feel a little hosed. Please either provide a further boost or allow celestial wearers to restate their gear like what was done for magic find.

Just my two cents: I think character progression needs to be tied to world development. Something I’ve seen so far.
I would love to see Orr begin to return to being something other than a zombie infested waste land. Not all at once, but gradually. As Orr becomes more habitable secrets of the past could be unlocked and thus new skills.
Of course this would unlock more challenges too, and could open up a reason for why classes want to master new weapons.
In short: would love to see new weapons, new skills, and just throwing it in there, a trait line based on your affiliation like new traits or skills based on choosing vigil. Would like something more substantial than just armor and weapons.
What is the status of providing some new skills to professions? I thought I read that professions would get access to more weapons. I think this would AMAZING! I wondering what progress, if any, this idea has had.
I would love to have access to all the weapons in the game one character. My suggestion: All players to buy (gold, gems, badges, doesn’t really matter to me) manuals for a specific weapon to unlock the ability to use the weapon. Not only would this be cool, but it would allow me at least to feel like my level 80 character is growing still.
First, everyone can take part in the content so it doesn’t alienate anyone. It frustrates, but that is different. Liadri is what an achievement should be something not everyone has and they had to work to get. If some people got it on their first try, congratulate them they are awesome. If some got it on the 100th, congratulate them because they don’t give up. If you haven’t gotten it, don’t ask for a nerf. Step up your game or go the plethora of other content in the game.
(Yes, the camera angles stink, but I thought of it as part of the challenge.)
Did it with guardian
0/0/30/30/10
Full Knights gear with sup. soldier runes
mostly berserk trinkets
Staff (phase 1)/ Scepter-Focus (phase 2)
Over a 100 tries.
Like with achievement earned skins please allow special event skins to be “banked” and used multiple times. We did earnthem let us show them off as much as we want.
There are dungeons, jumping puzzles, and instances. All of which can be repeated and are up for a good amount of time. I don’t understand the basis of the argument. No you won’t be able to get everything, many people won’t. Big deal. Are you afraid you’ll miss a prize? The content is not that time consuming.
Every once and awhile I like removing the clutter (useful as it might be) from my screen and just enjoying the world made. There is one piece of information that I would like the option to keep, my health bar. Everything else can go away, but if I could keep my health bar I think that would be really cool.
Most of this content will probably work on like the aetherblade content, \a story arch a month. So, July content will probably be up until the second week of August. I really don’t think anyone is going to have a problem logging in at least once in that time frame to do some of the new stuff.
Living story is what an MMO should be. We defeated the Molten Alliance, Aetherblades, and Karka, but we didn’t eradicate them. They can all come back eventually under new conditions, and new players can earn previous rewards and players can maybe even earn new rewards. They have hinted that such a thing is very possible and probably will happen.
There is nothing wrong with temporary content, it is making the game better because it keeps people logging into a game that is free to play. It provides incentive and shakes up the game so that every two weeks there will be a new aspect of the game that gives you a reason to play. Great for players and awesome for Anet who needs to keep people logging on and giving people a reason to buy items and the game itself.
Play a guardian. I also suggest going to the forum section on each profession reading through the guides or looking at videos on youtube.
Any idea if we are getting more legendary options soon? Just curious.
^ I wouldn’t mind this. Please consider.
If there is already a thread or 5 on this and I missed them, please feel free to merge.
I love the design of the holo wings, but I can’t stand the speed the wings flap. Is there any way to slow the speed of the wings down so it looks less like a frantic dragon trying not to fall and more like a confident dragon waiting to strike?

Isn’t GvG naturally happening in WvW? I love searching out particular guilds, because I know I’ll have a good fight. Why does there have be a special place?
Were achievement points going to be converted to laurels? I thought I heard they were. Any time frame as to when that may happen?
Got mine last night, but had to log on around midnight so the population was low. Funny story though: I got the achievement with 2 minutes in the match left. As soon as I got the achievement I threw the crab to another player and went to sleep. I still won the match. I only had 93 points.
I totally agree that this skill involves only luck.
We’re small, but want to grow. Join us.
We’re still looking.
Sorrows Knights [SFK]
Here’s how we stand out:
- You’re not going to feel left out if you don’t have Mumble or don’t want to use it.
- You don’t have to rep us all the time. We ask you only rep when we are doing something as a guild and you want to join us. If you want to rep us more, great.
- You won’t have to go to anywhere outside the game to see what we are doing that day or week.
Our Goals:
- Have fun
- Be competitive in WvW
- Help each other with achievements
- Help each other in grinds a player chooses
- Create an in-game community
We are small. We probably won’t be on 24/7 because the core group has a lot going on. We do try to log in as often as RL allows. We are understanding that RL happens, but when we do get a break we want to create an online community where you can have a group if you want one, have a zerg in WvW when you want one, and feel like you are accomplishing something whether that be stomping on other servers in WvW, players in PvP, or NPCs in PvE.
To sum up we are a competitive casual guild. You will find players who strive to be the best with the time RL hands them. All player types of welcome, just be aware of who we are and what our goals are for playing a game.
Message Karm Nevets if you want to join up.

This class can literally solo any other class if you play it correctly
This is key to the whole problem. Good players can make any class feel overpowered. Guardians have a lot of at their disposal, but so do all the other classes. Sometimes its not the skills that too good. Let’s give credit to the players who know how to use the skills correctly and can turn particular classes into powerhouses because of the player’s skill not because of what is in the skillbar.
If we teach people when the right time to repair is, this isn’t a problem.
Lesson 1: don’t fix it as long as a treb is hitting it.
Knowledgeable players, and players who help educated create strong communities and make for strong teams.
I have really liked playing against DH and IoJ. You are really great sports.
To the conversation about SF whiners. I agree with the idea that people need to suck it up. People may have forgotten why we fell to T8 in the beginning, but the way I remember it is that it started with the type of behavior that is beginning now. People throwing in the towel because we didn’t have this or that. People being mad at other guilds and not playing. We as a server have worked hard to move up. Don’t let a challenge make you stop playing.
I wouldn’t mind a chest like they gave during the Lost Shores events. A bunch of random things that you can either use or sell for gold with the chance to get a precursor some other cool thing.
If they give tonics or mini pets… I want to to be able to sell it.
I want a dungeon queue.
Lower costs for Guild Missions so my small guild can realistically do them one day.
Thank you. Very helpful post. I do fight in WvW and have been doing pretty well. Yesterday, faced a thief that shot, went stealth, came out and shot. I thought I could take him, but had never actually fought one 1v1 and got pwned. Thanks again for the information.

Good afternoon,
I am having some problems with fighting thieves with my guardian. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on does or don’ts.
I want it to stay. It is fun and I can do it solo so I don’t have to waste my time lfging forever like I have to do with other dungeons (hint- we need a queue system for dungeons). Plus, (on a purely selfish level) I simply won’t be able to get the baubles needed to get the skin I want in 30 days, because… well… I’m a married, working, father, who coaches a spring sport.
If it can’t stay, I really like Meglobob’s idea of making sure it comes back every April, but with another level of fun.

I have seen 6 or more commanders running around a map, and not doing anything on the map chat. Now they may be organizing their guild with the guild chat or using mumble or something, but I think there should be some pressure on commanders. If they want to display that they are a “leader”, then there should be a bounty. Just a thought.
I started WvW and I would say I was really bad. I listened/read conversations, picked up items, and experimented. I wouldn’t say I’m a gift to WvW but I don’t consider myself cannon fodder anymore, and it’s because I practiced.
What I do stink at is accumulating gold. I never buy anything, and yet still have under 10g. Maybe I just don’t play enough, but I can’t figure out how people are so good at getting so much gold.

Just wondering if there are plans to implement a dungeon finder. I would love something with a queue that lets me continue to play while I wait. I haven’t done much dungeon crawling only because finding a group is pain and waste of time. Any information on when or even if something like this is in the works would be awesome.
I’m usually on between 6- 9 EST and there are people.
