Guild Wars 2

Nah, you have to buy it in Lions Arch from this Black Lion Weapon Merchant.

So no way to get it by playing PvP.

Sad…so sad…

Instead of binding the rank on your account and farming years to 80, why not setting it character related, so every character have to rank up to 80 but in a faster way (like in PvE).

If it is just about finishers and skins, I dont see any problem with this.

What do you think about it?

They already said that there wont be a bank tab in the mists because PvE players should travel to LA.

Therefore they wont put the merchant as well.

I find the Heart of the Mists so awesome. You can duel NPCs, look at every weapon and armor setin your locker and be bored to death.

I know the meta will change sooner or later but what gets me really mad are players in tournaments who do not quite know what they are doing and who are rejecting every tip and playstyle improvement you give them at the same time.

I kitteng had 3 warriors with hammers in one match. Couldnt do s*it about it as guardian.

And this hell lives since 4 months. Are you kitteng kidding me?

EDIT: This system really replaces curses with “kitten”? What infantil mode is that?!

Add: running against a wall

Play soloqueue when
- decay is fixed
- there are more options for pinging on the map
- low ranked people know what they are doing

Guess the devs will leave for holidays at around 15th of december. So it must be released around the end of november if they want to support the patch a bit with hotfixes and whatever.

A massive balance patch will change something. Thats for sure. But if the change will be good has to be found out.

I guess many people will return to look at it and leave as fast as they came if it has no good.

Is there a way to turn off the living world tracker which shows you what living world events are running right now?

I am a PvP player and dont need this message. It is not huge but would still be nice to make is disappear.

6 /10

I like the color choice.

I chose to be a ninja necro!

108 damage per second is good enough. The thief can stack more in a shorter time but you have a bigger variaty of conditions and crowd control with fear (with also does damage).

Dont reduce fear duration since it is part of every condition burst. Every fear is at least two seconds long, so it does around 1900 damage. A condition thief cannot best that.

They already introduced the burning on Necros with Dhuumfire so a torch would be nice. To balance it they could reduce the activation chance on Dhuumfire.

I am no fan of chilling darkness withoug the well of darkness. Using a major trait for an elite skill which has 3 minutes cooldown seems weird. Use weakining shroud instead. Weakness is really strong.

In general putting points in bloog magic is worthless. The healing is too low. Stick with more power or more survivability with death shroud. Works better as your minor healings per hit.

Btw: You call yourself the best necromancer on north amercian servers? I do not think you can best high ranked sPvP necros. Being the best PvE necro is not as cool as you might think.

As long as the necro doesnt heal himself its not that worth.

No, I dont get it. Please explain.

I heard Mogwow (or how he is called) were too young for PAX. Did this change for the MLG tournament? Is all that even true after all?

I suggest that you receive a message which says that no current players around your rating are playing right now. If you want to queue anyway you can click okay and register.

I just hate it when I get players in my team how do not want to communicate and lose due to this. While you get matched against low ranked players and you lose, you will lose a lot of rating even though the loss might be not your fault.

Are you serious? How is this answering the question?

But why restarting the PvP server when there is nothing PvP related in patches? Why can the PvE server still run?

Very nice read but very sad story indeed.

I would not mind leaver at all if the loss didnt count as one on the leaderboards. I personally dont care for dyes anylonger. The RNG system is so bad, I just get the flu wasting my glory points and time for some copper.

I would not spend my hundrets of thousends of glory for dyes. The income is crazy low. Just wait for some incoming PvP patches later this year and glory will have a better use.

(Yes, I am optimistic and believe in a PvP patch!)

Thanks Lisa, but is it possible that the location display is bugged when you have said person in your friendlist?

Mine shows one location for one person the whole time.

Im on an EU server and would like to contact a person on a NA server.

I have written ingame mails and texted him via chat. There was no error message so I thought the text arrived correctly. But the person does not answer me so I would like to ask if itis possible after all.

Thanks for the help, guys!

CntrlAltDefeat.1465:

Each PvP area of Spvp/Tpvp/SoloQ will reward rank differently for a win.

New players will be confused when you name sPvP, TPvP and Soloqueue in one sentence because sPvP is everything thats going on in the mists. SPvP is hotjoin, team arena and solo arena. Pretty unlogical to call hotjoin structured.

The term TPvP is not even official therefore new players will not find it ingame.

Not even 5000 viewers. Where is the big GW2 community?

Well, the tournament is not that impressive.

Quickfoot Katana.8642:

Look at all the amazing skins from Fractals, Champion loot skins

You are totally right!

Arenanet could sell special weapons and armor just for the PvP mode, so that you cant use these skins in PvE. First of all Anet would earn money with PvP and the skin price could be fair.

Right now you have to pay a lot of gold to buy skins from special PvE events. As a PvP player I will never have so much gold to look like I want to due to the fact that you dont earn any in PvP. Not even germs to convert.

Did Arenanet say anything about this topic? Will they bring back gems? I really dislike that PvE players can look much better in PvP as the actual PvP players.

And as long as skins are more or less a big motivation in PvP to play on, Arenanet have to change something.

As an 80 % PvP player I love the fused and jade weapon skins and hate the fact that I have to grind PvE stuff to affort them. Well…I cant affort them due to the fact that fused weapons are totally overpriced for PvPers.

It’s a shame that only hard PvE players can look awesome in PvP.

Not anymore. There was a bug once where they shared the same icon. I think the encrusted dagger had also the skin of the orrian dagger.

You need a paid tournament token, sliver and luck due to the little chance to get one.
I made an encrusted scepter this way.

My word against Arenanets: This map needs to go! No more Skyhammer in tournaments.

>>> UPDATE <<<

Heyhey, we are Team Vintage [old] (name change in progress) and looking for a player.

What we are looking for:

• Guardian (Bunker)
• we are all German so we would prefer that you live in a timezone nearby

Roster:

• Engineer (Backpointdefender)
• Warrior (Assaulter)
• Necro (Teamfight)
• Thief/Mesmer (Roamer)

Rating:

• We are between 700 and 900
• you do not have to be in the ladder right now but you should have the motivation to change it

Contact:

• Noc.2459
• Wewe.1825
• thedarkside.2718
• Prometheus.2061

We are looking forward to meet you.

The fact that you earn nothing when you lose so its finally just a waste of time.

I just ask myself what would be the reason why Arenanet did not reset the team arena ladder. Many people played many games solo (like me) and are now stuck down below.

There was a fresh start for solo ladder, so why not for team ladder?

Thanks for the help.

In Soloqueue you have to communicate via text chat. After a certain amount of texts the system marks me as spamer and I cant text anymore.

Would it be possible to delete the spam detection in Arenas?

I guess the people who visit the forum more often know the basic tactics. You should rather worry about the people who dont read it. But they wont read this very thread either. So just relax and see what will happen.

“c2 = fighting with 2 ppl at close point
c2 inc = 2 ppl incoming to close”

I guess for teammates it doesnt matter if Im already fighting two guys or if Im about to do so. So just type “c2”.

“c1 leave = 1 person leaving the close point”

If Im fighting two players and one of them leaves, I cant type freely a whole word.
I suggest writing just c1 or c1l. Same with the word “help”. Writing f2h should be enough. Might look weird for now but people will get used to this.

Use simple chat codes:

c = close
m = mid
f = far

Two incoming on close = c2
Close is safe again = cs

Games like LoL use things like that too, so why not GW2? Its hard to see the pings on the minimap when your eyes are in the fight and on the animations of your opponent. Reading the chat is far more easier.

My mate who bought an arena left GW2. There is plenty of time left so we dont want to abandon it.

Is there a way to promote someone as second admin so we can change the arena settings without the owner?

I’m wondering if it will be possible to duoqueue within the soloqueue system with a friend. Some E-Sports games like League of Legends allow that.

Othwerwise there will be just two ways to play sPvP with your friends: 5 on 5 tournament as premades and the same old Hotjoin.

Same here. In the last days so many heavy lags. Mainly in sPvP what makes it even worse.
Got disconnected two times during tournaments. And yes, my connection outside of GW2 is stable.

When you let a bone minion explode, the damage does NEVER crit.

Not even when I use the weapon sigil of intelligence.
