Guild Wars 2

sbriddale.7492:

Dear KISS-Guradian with purple hair…am I the first person you killed?
Elsewise I can’t explain why you have to party so much (laughing and jumping on dead body) when you suceed to kill one lonely running person with 4 or 5 other players of your guild.
I hope I made your day :-P

LMAO, Seiously?! A DL player is complaining about being killed by an outnumbered enemy team?! I mean do you even know which server you belong to?
Well all I can say is, isnt it nice to have a taste of your own medicine, it isnt nice being outnumbered 4-1; think about that when you are running in your map zerg.

Though TBH I think the more shocking point is that this DL guy was out alone, very rare. :P

johnnymiller.5968:

lets not forget one German server was beaten, their play style was vastly different.

You mean Dzagonur? They arent real Germans

PocVecem.5170:

So? You are flaming cause we will possibly win. War is about fighting with tactic. I guess your server could do the same (:

Greetings from germany.

Actually back when the season started it was pretty much a given that DL would win, IMO RoS isnt ready for this fight.

My posts arent directed at DL, but RoS players to let them know this is how all the german servers play, and instead of giving up for 2 weeks, cos we’re against DL next week again; they need to keep fighting.

comacat.5287:

To that effect, DL were more up for the fight than we were, it’s as simple as that, so kudos!

Now, back to my cookies and hurt feelings…

Hey, if DL were up for a fight, I’d be a happy bunny! But they arent, that’s the difference in play style we have.

I dont care if there are 80 of them and only 30 of us, but when they run away with such numbers to hide behind their walls and ACs, it’s just laughable.

The germans have got the organisation and the teamwork, which is a hell of a lot better to most other EU servers, but when it comes to fights, they will only fight if they think they are guaranteed to win. All other times it’s run back to a tower or WP out.

Alicornus.7095:

afterwards you’re allowed to use the slimy thing between your ears..

My nose? :S

They play for PPT, not fun.

They will blob with their entire map zerg run around and cap everything, move to another BL and repeat.

The interesting part is that “we” find capping everything, running around and moving to another BL really fun. We don’t play for PPT. We play to have fun. If “we” have fun in scoring points, then we are playing for fun.

How is it fun? You zerg everything, not even small camps are done without sheer numbers. I really fail to see something without challenge can be seen as fun.

Because dying is extremely frustrating. As long as we don’t die, we’re having fun.
Think of it as “if you die, then it means that you lost”. People don’t have fun in losing.
On the other hand, if we kill stuff, even if we outnumber them, then it’s a win.

And it’s not like our “legendary” zergs are uncounterable, we DO have weaknesses. But I don’t expect someone from FoW to be able to exploit such weaknesses.

You do have weaknesses yes, you are terrible. Staying inside your zerg without putting up a fight, I would call that pathetic.

What does that even mean lol
Go back fighting Vabbi and WSR.
And I’m open for some sPvP duels if you think I’m terrible anytime.

Means exactly what it means, you are bad at fighting.
In open field combat we’ve destroyed you 9/10 times. Without a tower to fall back on filled with arrow carts, you cant stand against, well not even equal numbers

When 5-10 people are attacking something, you dont send equal, double, not even triple numbers to stop them, your entire 80 man zerg turns up!

But dont worry some of us will still fight you

If you have never fought a german server before, this is how they all play.
They play for PPT, not fun.

They will blob with their entire map zerg run around and cap everything, move to another BL and repeat.
Frankly I knew this would happen in RoS, I dont think many of the players have had to suffer repeated wipes before and have decided to come back next week. Too bad we’re again DL next week as well!

For the leechers, see you in 2 weeks. For everyone else, dont give up. We kept Dawns on our BL for 4 hours last evening. this is because we upgraded it and sieged it up. We had scouts and people refreshing siege; so when the DL map zerg came, they faced a lot of resistance.
And guess what, they moved on.
The germans love arrow carts, but they also hate them when used against them. If you hold them off long enough they will move on, because like I said, they play for PPT, they wont spend an hour attacking a tower, they just come back later hoping people have logged off.

Also dont worry about the weekends, german server are a little quieter during weekdays.

Who said all servers? Been on 3 EU servers and 2 NA servers. And from that I I’ve experienced way more lag issues on those EU servers than NA servers.

And why have you jumped into this topic to troll like that? It’s not exactly adding to the topic, just a waste of space.

Well we’ve been on EU and NA servers, and from my experience I’ve found that I have way more lag on EU server compared to NA servers; and I’m in the UK!!

Anyone else agree to this?

Arreyanne.2683:

It’s long on Bg and I for one ain’t spending 30+ min in a que for anything and yes if it wasnt 1800 gems to transfer i’d transfer to a low pop WvW server then i’d at least get to play

1800 gems are for very high population servers only, it cheaper to go to medium or high pop servers.

1000 for High, and 500 for Medium.

If you are lucky maybe Anet will add free transfer to medium server just before season 2.

I do some trading on the TP, but it’s always in large quantities. Sometimes I may forget how much I bought and item for if I’m flipping it.

Because of the sheer quantity of items I bu I could end up having to skip through 70 or more pages on the Items I’ve Bought menu!

Please add a table at the side or change the lists to show how many items you have bought for a given price, not how many each seller has given you.

e.g. Instead of
Item Qty Price per Unit Posted
Mithril Ore 10 30c seconds ago
Mithril Ore 1 30c seconds ago
Mithril Ore 5 30c seconds ago
Mithril Ore 100 30c seconds ago
Mithril Ore 2 30c seconds ago

Have it so it’s

Mithril Ore 112 30c seconds ago
Mithril Ore 350 29c 1 hours ago
Mithril Ore 10 31c 2 hours ago

Afterall, we dont really care how many people bought our items or sold items to us; we really need to know for how much!

The above shows you the total quantity of an item you have bought and how many you bought at a set price. it is SO much easier to read a single entry with the total than having to read dozens of individual entries which give the same data.

Of course some people may wish to know when teh most people buy/sell from the current settings, which is why I think a table should be added to the side to summarise the list.

What I really hate about the timer websites is that the people who use them are mostly leechers!

They refuse to do the initial quests which require the events to take place, during which you only see around 5-10 people doing them.
But when the main even starts, all of a sudden dozens of player appear out of nowhere!

It is silly there isnt such options in the game.

I’ve even submitted a support ticket asking if I could get a macro to repeat double clicks in order to open large quantities of bags; their reply was unhelpful as always.

“We allow macro so long as they do only one function” That by definition is not a macro but a keybind, so technically macros are not allowed.

But then we have the steelseries GW2 keyboard which allows macros, and Anet even advertise this keyboard. So if macros are not allowed, why endorse a keyboard which can lead to people having their accounts banned?!

Basically Anet are leaving it up to you to decide if a macro is against the TOS or not. And if you get banned, it obviously was against it, but Anet will not respond to a support ticket if you ask them beforehand if the macro is against the TOS, again leaving it up to you to decide, based on their very vague conditions!

Like everything else most people can use a given macro for it’s given purpose, but that same macro may be abused for another purpose, so this again makes problems for the user to decide whether or not their macro is or istn against the TOS!

But then again, over the last year this is the kind of response we’ve had from Anet.

Thing is that the Living Story with new content added every 2 weeks is a great idea, but also a bad idea.

Yes it gives you something new to do, but what happens if you take a break? You missed an event, and event you cannot do whenever you want to do, you are forced to play at the game’s speed of completing achievements within 2 week, because if you dont you’ve either have to wait a year or you’ll never get the chance to do it again.

It would be nice if the Living Story was something YOU read, not listen to, because if you miss a bit you may not get the future connections.

That’s why Anet also need to concentrate on expansions, not just the living story.

I hate the fact that I have to scatter my event items; such as the various Endless Tonics, Gem Store Costumes, Boosters and the like; in bag slots between several characters.

Would it not be simpler to add an Event Bag slot to the Inventory which all characters can access, and instead of opening a bag, it’ll open a tab similar to material tabs in your bank.
The tab can also sort out the event items by event and year or other ordering.
Or how about an Event Tab similar to the Wallet tab on the Hero Window?

Having to rummage through several characters to find event items I want to use is rather tedious and takes up a lot of bag space.
And at least in GW1 you could dispose of masks and purchase them on any character for a small fee. Maybe do that with skins as well…

A bit late uploading this but here you go, small KISS group retaking SM from Arborstone zerg.

Wow even down here we have all this drama.

I say if you dont like the server you are on, move. But then that doesnt solve your issue, the higher up you go, the more zerging, or whatever you are complaining about, you will see.

So people stop complaining, cos it doesnt matter which server you are on or against, the same kitten is on every tier! Complaining about it doesnt help, and people dont want to come on these forums to hear 10 people complain about the same kitten on every server.

The patch nows say “Added 20 Empyreal Fragments”, first of all why?! As if we WvW players dont already have 20+ stacks of them already!

Second of all what happened to the trick-or-treat bags for completing it again?!
If I do it more than once now, I dont get a reward at all, except the first time each day where we now get 20 useless and unwanted Empyreal Fragments!
You used to get trick-or-treat bags before, so is their removal a bug?

Please add the trick-or-treat bags back, cos I need some reward other than the cries of those who cant do the JP

Kryank.8069:

I love the fact that every group is being followed by PvE achievement hunting rally bots

lmao is that what those groups were? :P No wonder the group behind the real WvW zerg die so fast!

Here’s to all PvErs across all servers, thanks for the loot bags

Yeah the search function of this website is absolutely terrible, almost non-existant!

I just created a forum post asking for mesmer builds, one reply was have I used teh search function, I laughed.

For instance let’s take the post above:

Astral Projections.7320:

Not even working.

I tried searching for a word I could see as part of a thread title on first page in a forum. First 3 tries it shows zero results and on the fourth try it pulls up a thread that doesn’t even have that word in it.

Try searching for the word “working”, it’s there clear as day for everyone to see and now also appears in this post. I bet you the search displays no results.

It seems this website’s search function gets confused by punctuation.

If the webmaster is having trouble, may I suggest https://www.google.co.uk/cse/ :P

DeathReign.7821:

/: did you even try looking at the forums before creating a new thread?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/List-Find-your-Mesmer-Builds-Guides

^ list of a ton of guides.

Lol I was feeling lazy, did look at osicats page but not sure how up-to-date that is.

Then again have you tried using the search box on this site?! Worst thing ever! You can create a post with a unique word in it, then search for it and it will not even list it!
TRy it, try searching for “guides” in this thread, it’s in your post so it should show up, right?…..

Thanks for the replies so far though.

So I’ve tried solo roaming with my necro and from that I’ve found the most annoying class to fight is a mesmer.

So I’d like to try that out myself, though not played on my mesmer for months! So anyone care to make any recommendations?

Time for some PvE!!

Aww poor [iQ] warrior hiding behind a veteran supervisor and camp vets.
Dont worry he dies in the end (skip to 2:21:21 for that bit

With leagues starting soon please allow us to finally guest on other continent servers. eg if you are on an NA server guest to EU server.

Yeah I know they said it’d come soon, but here we are a year later so no news at all. :/

I just want the game to look prettier but know it’ll probably never happen

DirectX 11 support?

One thing that Anet always like to claim is that Guild Wars isnt just a game, it’s a canvas filled with hand painted artworks etc.

I like the screenshot I’ve added, but how much better would it look if the game supports DX11 whcih you give way better textures?!

If Anet want the game to be more visually stunning, surely DX11 should be a priority right?

Sorry [RAWR] I only dropping in to say hello.

Of course when the rest of your friends turned up I couldnt stay.

Omaris Mortuus Est.2738:

Hey TC can you dins out who those imbeciles are on your server.

From the guild Love and Friendship [LOVE] they enjoy glitching into Klovan with thieves.

SOR reports people on our server for things like this. As stated above, the moral high ground.

Well yes, if they are glitching into keeps. Unless you think glitching and exploiting are acceptable!

Hey TC can you find out who those imbeciles are on your server.

RobF.5864:

I get that these things can happen but what about all the gold that has been spent upgrading stuff?

Extra gold sink for the game, waste your gold upgrading to t3 towers, then lose it all.

So grind some more gold and upgrade again.

It’s like the new trait reset via the gem store, sure you can pop into LA and pay 3s50c to reset your traits; but why not spend 2g50s or more on that special gem store item which does the same thing but anywhere in the world map.

Cant fix it? Reset it with the last known scores.

Liquid.9672:

And I thought you of all people would appreciate a little stupid humor. I guess the winky smiley isn’t as effective as I thought.

[KISS]-[KnT] Epic 1v1!

Necro Vs Thief Stalemate (15 minute fight )

http://www.twitch.tv/bigo93/b/465803168?t=2h49m03s

Fight carries on after ranger kills me though.

Thanks for the [HnA] thief for the fight.

BG needed more swimming lessons :P

http://www.twitch.tv/bigo93/b/465803168?t=36m20s

Such a close 1v1, well done on winning though.

http://www.twitch.tv/bigo93/b/464500454?t=2h00m30s

I’m sorry FA Warrior, I’m new to small scale PvP, I couldnt let you go

http://www.twitch.tv/bigo93/b/463934181?t=6m0s

Seriously, the drop rate of Black Lion Keys are close to precursor level!

Players have already accumulated 500 Black Lion Chests, but probably only 2 or 3 keys have dropped from mobs or players in that time!

The chests are more like junk drops to many of us as the only way to open them all would be to spend a tonne of gold on keys from the gem store.

You claimed there would be no grinding required in this game, yet players have to grind for so much gold just to get one item from the TP! Please increase key drop rates.

You are lucky that you dont have the same password on your email account as you do with your gw2 account, otherwise you would have lost your account.

But the hacker does know your email and gw2 password, so the best thing to do is change it immediately. And obviously deny access to any IP which is not your own.

And if you have a smartphone you can add the gw2 authenticator app to your account as well as an extra layer of security.

globe.7238:

I’ll just leave this here for those that are still delusional, you guys are totally outmanned right now.

“Finally some action” lol.

I didnt know warriors could stealth on their own!

Would like to welcome Crystal Desert to the matchup after Blackgate recovered from a knee injury :P

And also Isle of Janthir after Jade Quarry recovered from a fall in the kitchen.

Seems this mismatch is only shown in pve goes back to normal in wvw

gebrechen.5643:

You should have at least 2 EU guilds which can field 30+. IRON and KISS and some NA guys helping out at EU time.

Sorry to disappoint but KISS was only running around 12 that night.

No but people do want GvG. you can have 1v1 matches, 1v1v1, or even GvGs between 4 or more guilds in a map.

Seriously just how hard would it be to make a simple map, it’s just an extension of custom arenas. They simply dont want to do it.

What can we say? It’s all thanks to Anet creating separate NA and EU servers, and then leaving the free transfers open for SO long!

Just wait until the leagues start, on the first day there will be so many people complaining about unbalanced matches that the mods will be throwing out infractions like confetti!

This is just another example of the devs not listening to the community. People suggested leagues last November when we already saw servers being stuck fighting the same servers each week. It’s simply too late now, the image the OP posted shows this.

The only way to balance it out is if Anet offers players big incentives to now move to a lower tier, which isnt going to happen as people will want the reward for coming first and so move to the #1 server.

They should have been account bound from the start. Character bound means people will play one class the most, so they’ll get bored faster and leave the game faster.

Anet really need to focus on fixing and improving WvW if they want those players to stay. They’ve probably already driven off 40% of WvW players by ignoring our complaints and suggestions for over a year now!

Indeed, making superior siege is such a chore, and what I dont get is that rams are the most used siege, yet I seem to get 5 times more ballistas dropped compared to other siege.

On reset nights we even have some players just chucking ballistas on the floor because they are taking up their bag space.

Press B and select from there.

I dont play this game, I cry.

Lord Kuru.3685:

It’s pretty clear that these new capture and hold point in the BL’s are a desperate attempt by Anet to attract WvW players to sPvP. They think that we will enjoy it so much that we will all become sPvP’ers. And then: esport.

They should focus on WvW being an esport. Why satisfy 5 player teams when you can have more fun with 100.

Woah woah woah, dont give Anet any great ideas which they will just ignore, infract and ban you for like they did with Sarcx!

Indeed there is so much that can be done in WvW, Anet just need to add the features.

But seeing the dev posts and videos, they really empathize that WvW is all about ZERGS! Zerg this, zerg that, we want zergs to take out the little bunnies!

They really are in denial of what WvW can become. All these updates we have had have IMO been placed to hinder WvW.
80% damage increase to Arrow Carts, we all knew that was insane! But we’ve all worked around it.
And didnt they say this patch is supposed to break up zergs? It’s like an oxymoron, they claimed they want to break up zergs whilst shouting WvW is about zergs, nothing else.

So Anet can hinder WvW as much as they want, we’ll just find a way around it and carry on; or as some have already done, leave the game. The devs can have their esport with Team Paradigm or whoever’s left cos noone else really cares.
