I am so confused. Is Michael now saying the complete opposite of what Chris said before? And wasn’t what Chris said a complete 180 from what they originally announced? Am I reading things wrong? What is going on?
Dungeon selling is not something that will be officially supported. Listing a group on the LFG tool is opening it up to a public realm and you do so at your own risk.
Customer Service will not be able to support any interactions that involves group formation politics.
Yeah, Chris and I talked about this with others in the studio and we realized the wording just wasn’t sufficient to communicate our actual stance. Chris was referring to the agreements part – where we can’t replace losses. It wasn’t his intention to cloud the issue.
Basically, you steal, cheat, or be a general baddie and I’m coming with my Account-Focused Stun-Lock Cannon.
(Can someone please make me the aforementioned rifle for my engi GM toon? That’d be swell. I’d like purple lightning or fire, please.)
Any chance you guys going to do this too WvW too and get rid of siege trolls exploiters and hackers? Would be very appreciated and makes the game a tad better then it is now. THanks in advance!
One GM to the other: Dude i see a topic about World vs World, whats that? New living story update?
SIC EM and ofcourse stealth traps. kittens over any thief when you use it on the right moments.
Rewarding system. (Gold’n’Achies)
What aspect of the reward system are you complaining about exactly?
Siege system. (trolls, balance of sieges)
Screen shot and report them……………I hate siege trolls myself, but I haven’t seen a single intelligent idea to address the issue other then screen shot and reporting them.
The only thing that makes it enjoyable for me is the Combat system, which is the same for PvE/sPvP.
No, your wrong. The siege equipment and mass PvP makes it very fun, neither of which do you truely have in either PvP or PvE.
(Thou I would like a no-AoE-cap system, I can understand that their servers cant handle it. )
It has nothing to do with the servers. It would really be better if you wouldn’t speak upon matters you have know knowledge of. The caps were set at player demands via forums out cry.
I have yet to see a single logical argument that can show WvW as broken in any way. It may have flaws, and be imperfect, but it is not broken by any means.
Reward System: “Kill 1,000,000 enemy supply caravans.” or “Successfully escort 500,000 supply caravans.” is not Broken for you? (I believe when others did the math, they calculated something like 5-7 years for it.)
And I believe that if you have to play another game-mode only to be able to play your favorite, it’s broken. (Without playing pve/spvp, you’ll lose money over the time as in wvw you spend more money than your income. )Siege system: Don’t you think that killing a door without siege is Broken? Do you think that if its easier to kill ppl on walls than the other way then it’s not Broken? (And we, as a server reported the trolls for months, maybe half a year, nothing happened.. Sorry, I can’t trust Anet’s support for wvw. Now that dev’s had experienced the trolls in wvw [adopt-a-dev], they have a thread about how to fix the problem.)
Combat System: As I said, I enjoy it very much, but besides the fact that you’re supposed to fight against players and not AI’s (which is not really true when pvd-ing), a bigger raid in pve has the same mechanics. You can buff up, you can drop the bomb, you can dodge/avoid/negate the npc’s “bomb”, you can blast Water, drop Banner.. And no, fighting under AC fire is not fun for me. Maybe it’s an understandable situation when defending your objective with LESS ppl, but otherwise it’s not fun for me.
No AoE Cap: Maybe it would be better, maybe worse, but we can decide only if we can try it without lags/culling, which I believe we never had the chance to try. And btw I said that “I would like”, there are ppl who wanna stronger AC/Golems, ‘cos they’re underpowered! :P
Anet just don’t care, the forum has a lot great ideas to fix/make better wvw, “all” we got in this “big Feature Patch” was 3 hexa-number change to the tag [which got Datamined like 3-4 months ago] and some little QoL change we asked for since beta weekends.
^this pretty much, well said Bubi.
I really hope you are trolling if not, i feel very sorry for you if you cant counterplay a bearbow ( hello dodging rapid fire! oops )
Anyone knows if they have been killed by “unknown” yet or saw many of the other bugs/exploits going in WvW?
I’m sorry…. are you guys not playing the same game that I am playing?
I get hundreds of tomes of knowledge every month.
How are any of you guys complaining about the speed at which you level up/stat gating?
My new toons are level 80 the first day they are created.
Play on your lvl 80’s to level ur alts…. otherwise ur doin’ it wrong.
Try to see things as a whole, rather then your own personal point of view.
I dont play Spvp as its boring as kitten and those tomes arent available from WvW, the game mode i play only.
To keep people entertained during the interval of Living Story updates
Also a way to get some cash of players from transfers.
Thats the point of the tourneys, nothing more nothing less.
Just get it already. Tourneys are meaningless with coverage/population issues and they are just fillers/cliffhangers inbetween living story updates. And probably making some money out of transfers of those rewards hungry people stacking on the winning server.
So we can show the devs all the bugs exploits and hacks going on in their own game? Weeeeeeee
Staring at my hot pink dye.
Never.
Make siege only throwable by commanders. This is kind of a rule in WvW anyway since it keeps things more organized. If someone wants to troll drop an AC on a gate you will see them tag up, this will probably discourage a lot of people from even doing it.
Exhaustion – This is not a good idea to do on deploy because, as it was mentioned before, siege is often dropped by a single person. It however would maybe be a good idea for BUILDING siege but not placing it. I like the idea that this could be mitigated if others help you build the item.
I also think forcing siege to be clicked on BEFORE you build might be a good thing. I’ve seen trolling where people will throw siege over a supply depot (so people would accidentally build it) or over a mesmer portal for example. I wouldn’t do this though unless you make siege easier to click on, particularly when they are close together.
None of these things will really STOP a dedicated troll but would probably curtail a considerable amount of casual trolling that some people do for a giggle now and again.
Annnnd you just killed all the guild only groups that don’t tag up, all the groups that are organized enough to not need only the commander to have and drop siege, all the havoc/ninja groups running without a commander (why would you need a commander when you are under 10 ??) and so on and so on.
WvW isn’t only 50+vs50+ pug commander groups you know….
Just being forced to waste time sending siege to the commander so he can put them down is silly.
To add something to this, trolls can have a commander tag too to seige it up. We on Gunnars Hold have such an idiot tagging up just to throw tons of rams in lords rooms etc. I personally dont think a debuff like exhaustion will have a great impact on avoiding siege trolls, though it would have a great negative impact on those people spending lots of their time sieging up stuff. Something most people dont bother with.
If ele gets downed and vapor forms through a gate hes useless for that time anyway so i dont see the problem.
What some write her about being disrespectful to the guild or it being a bad design is absolute nonsense entirely.
bad game design
Did a part of the game force those players to be rude? Did someone demand it or does it give a reward? No it doesn’t. Those players decided to be rude. They likely believe to be something better, because they play the game in an organized group. They are elitists, who don’t care to calmly explain the issue to the upleveled. Instead they use cheap rudeness, because its easy and they are anonymous. Luckily not all players are like that and I for once ask people nicely and take the 5 minutes to explain rather than pushing potential reinforcements for the future away. It is incredibly effective and I play the same game as those “elite pro gamers”. Don’t blame the game design for every player decision. Even if the design was flawed, the players still chose to be rude themselves instead of civil.Disrespectful towards the organized group/guild
Sorry, but that is utter bullkitten. If the upleveled was trolling the big group and deliberately playing rally bot it would be different. But that was a new player learning the game. If anything, that guild was disrespectful. They could have explained the situation and the newcomer would have likely understood. That is my experience. Point that person to EotM or to a pug zerg with a public commander, that is going around. But attacking new players like that is pathetic and disrespectful towards the new player, not the other way around.
+100
Its not bad GAME design, its BAD PLAYERS BEHAVIOUR. Teach those upscaled how to behave in a group and you will see they might get in touch with the game and play it when theyre 80 and fully geared.
And yes im willing to teach the upscaled/newbies how to do so and most of them still stick around in wvw after it.
Smash pet to kitten. If he/she switch pet even in downed state, smash pet again. Also use some poisons on ranger if available to slow the ressing down.
Solution: REMOVE.
Fixed.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Recipe:_Wooden_Sword
On this page it says this npc sells it, but when you click on that npc’s name it doesnt appear on the list anymore. So i have no idea if they moved or removed it.
On this note (tried to look it up on wiki but i failed). How many people can rally off 1 dead person and how much damage you have to do to get a rally off it?
Tbh why are you all hating on his comments? i mean you can cap faster with it-> more wxp also it encourages people to blob which is a great thing because the ambience in the blob fights are always nice and maybe the defending population will finally give up so you don’t have those nasty defensive sieges anymore trying to defend the tower
errrmm eotm ktrain commander i assume?
What annoys me the most is now some of the junk item is an exotic. got 4 useless exotic tequatl spoon. for what purpose? i don’t know.
Yea, on top of that they sit in a big steel chest. You think ooo shiny….spoon.
Just give colours a 33.33% rng so colors rotating a bit more. It only affects EB as the borders are identical.
Yea, something like that would be cool, I guess it is difficult to ensure color changes because the matchups could change, but if it was random, it would at least change positions of everyone, and if the match up stays the same and only your enemies swap colors, at least they play differently, and your chances to capture those points would change! Maybe the server you were rolling ends up the color of the one that was rolling your server.
I like this idea, is there anything that could be negative from this change?
Only a few benefits in EB like you can treb SM from red keep but not from blue/green keep and probly some other ones. Borderlands its just the same beside a different spawn location.

There are no bugs/exploits/cheats/hacks in guildwars2. They are unintended features. Enjoy!
This item is such a waste of resource which could have been used to do something useful with WvW like eeeeeeh GUILDTAGS people been asking for since launch?
No idea where Anet got this idea from, i regularly roam the forums and read up on some incredible stupid suggestions like siege ladders or even funnier, “close wvw at night times”
But this is just well, beyond me and yes i had some fun stalling 50+ with their rams being unable to smash since i had 10 of them traps. But that should not be around in a game like this.
All in all a poorly implemented trick and not thought through. ( But hey thats typical with you Anet guys isnt it )
Most Art of War buffs are for defenses. something you hardly see in EOTM.
Just keep an eye on enemies running into the circle and spam him/her to death. If they are able to deny the cap as long its needed so back up can rush in, you simply dont deserve the cap.
And like Sparc says, there are other things completely broken in game that could use some work at instead of this, lol.
Also, why the heck can engies and rangers just spam reveal if there are multiple of them?! Place a cooldown, kitten – stealth was broken, but don’t kill it entirely.
(No ranger hate, I main a ranger [no bearbow] )[/quote]
Also why can thieves stealth eachother when there are multiple of them. Put a cooldown on that as well if you want to have a cooldown on reveal like Sic Em.
It might be the thief doing that. He is known for cheating/hacking into keeps and flip it in seconds.
They weren’t a mistake, they’re a great addition to the WvW kitten nal, and I’m having trouble figuring out why anybody would have a problem with them unless they’re so tied to the idea of dropping 1-6 rams at a gate and pounding it open surrounded by a sea of k-trainers.
This thing is a boon for defense.
It’s a huge mistake and a waste of resources. I am all for defending boons but this is not the thing.
Gunnars Hold if you like decent fights. We have lots of roamers and our community is laidback and mature.
Then calculate in these new ****** siege disablers!
They’re just going to make things worse. Now that zerg/ktrain you MAY have held off, is going to storm your tower after they disable your siege…
Yes ANET, please, change the title of your game to zerg wars 2. It is after all the zerg you seem to favor. You’re always doing things to benefit them.
Siege disablers are broken on the defense side, not the offensive one.
Basically any objectives with a bit of supplies and 1 person in it can be held for minutes (longer than the WP timer for sure) and force the attackers to go resupply and use cats, wile defenders still have lots of places to put defensive ac/trebs/whatever that CAN’T be disabled and yet still can kill attackers.
Just get rid of that stupid grenade. The time they invest on making that could have been better used to make a Guild only tag – something loads of people have been asking for since launch. I seen lots of suggestions for new stuff but never ever the siege disabler grenade. Why they think it could add some positive to wvw is beyond me.
To promote the golem mastery ofc.
So, now you have to take rangers into account and not longer being a free kill? What the hell are you all whining about. Power rangers with kittenloads of damage of longbow rather drop hard if you focus him/her and evade a rapid fire and close the gap to make AA of it hit less hard. Just like the ranger had to work around to kill other classes like warriors and thieves. This buff is not OP as some stated.
And yes i play ranger and nope not witha long or a shortbow.
Do projectile destruction/reflections work on this like like they do engie grenades? Maybe we should think about having mesmers and eles use feedback/swirling winds?
It does but extremely hard to counter as you wont see it flying and also usable on other side of gate.
Maybe they gained loads of bandwagoners to win the bronze league?
Guildies reported they nearly gained a full level for capping a keep. Maybe its due to the level 29 bug or so.
Coverage wars 2.
While I understand the concept, a weekly that takes way less effort than a daily just Isn’t right….
Monthly can be done within 2 days. Monthly WvW kills is 50 while the daily is 10.
I dont think it will take much to get OP on rage. If you are longer then 1 season around you really should know by now all maps will get a queue on reset when a tourney begins. Especially in T1 if i may believe his signature.
Just be glad there is no AP grind at all this time so people come in , fart 5times and are done with it.
Just get rid of that kittenin grenade. Its not like anyone ever thought “hmm maybe this gamemode needs a grenade to stall rams in positions for 45sec” is it?
Just press enter 2 times and you are in. Yes it is not working correctly but there are worse things broken.
Oh a Top Secret video.. On Youtube.. Yea, Top Secret.
I for one are very happy the way it is now. Its exactly the way they say it was going to be no worrying about checking every 5 min to see what achivement you need to do. Now i know you hardcore wvw players would disagree with me which is fine but if you enjoy wvw and do it for fun why worry about the achievments at all. Just ignore em and have fun.
Its the best for the sake of it. AP PvE farmers are gone in notime! Already had +120 queues while we normally struggle to get a queue lol.
Also affects the asura summoned elite series-7 golem. Try one on a gate for lols.
Yea doing around 17-20k on wooden gates in WvW aswell you are able to 1 shot players with it. Would like to see this bug fixed before the tourney starts or delay tourney till this has been fixed. Already see 1 server abusing this to the max as they did with the Necro Signet back then. Im not going to mention name of that server /coughAM/cough. Oops
No no no having an elite skill that one shot people is clearly work as intented – just like the rapid fire buff on the ranger.
Please point me to the patch notes where they said they changed the elite to do that massive damage? Been reading it a few times but i fail to find it. Unlike rapid fire improvement.
Trolling much?
Two unrelated bugs.
1) The asura summon 7-series racial elite is hitting upwards of 40k damage on players and 20k damage on paper gates.
That’s not a bug. It’s an improvement. This reflects true Asura superiority as the LORE dictates!
Working as intended, cry more noob etc.
It’s a bug and not working as intended. Can already see a huge red sea of Asuran players using this Golem just to crush down gates without siege at all.
Remember that Necro signet that could be used on doors? This is quite the same and should be fixed.
Press B – Join your “home” wvw map – Do 5 steps to the left from that waypoint = Trade Post – Log out to character screen and back and you are on the same location as before you joined the home wvw map to use the trade post.
Seasons are just cliffhangers between living story stuff and a way to get some money out of transfers, NOthing less nothing more.
Exciting!
Roll ranger and use Sic Em. The 4sec reveal could already be devastating but now it is 6sec it is a deaths sentence. If used on the right moment it is. I used to have lots of problems with thieves but ever since i get to used to them and their rotation/stealth spam i dont think theyre much of a trouble anymore. Ofcourse i get killed by them but i also kill them.
