Guild Wars 2

Dusty Moon.4382:

You can already do that – make a PvP arena and invite the other guild. DONE.

thats only 10 vs 10 maximum

like 90% of gvgs are 15vs15 or 20vs20

Cormac.3871:

I dunno, if it’s run like a guild mission it could work. Leaders from two guilds choose the “guild conflict” mission and for the next half hour or hour all members from the other guild are treated as hostile. And if you are not in either guild you get to sit down and bring out the popcorn.

you should be able to set an option as a guild member to chose if you want to take part in such hostile guild events though

apart from that its a nice idea to make it a guild event^^

guys we already have GvG in the game

we have the GvG Arena in Obsidian Sanctum and there are many guilds that have GvGs there daily

i agree that it is not a perfect place for GvG since trolls can just come and annoy people who watch or interfere with the GvG

but usually thats not a big problem and it works quite well until now

so many invisible walls….

how is it annoying?

- they cant harm you or other players in any way
- they most likely just search for some extra fun
- they dont get extra loot/points… actually less of those 2 things while being in your spawn

you could have a fun time with them instead of seeing it as an offensive action –
im 100% sure that these players just think its fun and not that they want to harm anyone of you …^^

the worst thing they could do is kill a few npcs that arent invulnerable but
1) these npcs respawn pretty fast
2) if they just stay in the legendary defenders range for 1 second and dont dodge or are invulnerable they die by 1 hit of them

edit:
golems should be invulnerable at spawn
thats a problem that i agree on :/

anet just made leveling your character much less fun by reducing the traits you can use by like 60%
(at lvl 40 i can use 1 trait… before the change i could use 3 at that point…)

doesnt look like they want to give players a reason to do anything on their lowlvl but level it to 80 the fastest way…
pretty sad

edit:

If I may restate my original post more succinctly: I can enter WvW at level 2, but see no good reason to do so.

you can help the enemy server by being a rallybot if you dont like your own server

you get tons of tomes of knowledges from reward track…
they are definitly enough….
you can level so many alts just by doing your fun pvp activities thats the best thing ever and you are still not happy??!

SlothBear.9846:

What bug did good fights abuse?

bug with Deepstrike trait in “weapon”- traitline from warrior

if you equip that trait you get the effect of “signet of might” even if you dont have signet of might equipped

and if you then unequip Deepstrike-trait the Signet of Might bonus of 180 Strength stays

for Apex vs it aint EZ being KPz it really just comes down to skill since they have the same team setup

that bug abuse… gave good fights some bad karma i guess xD

they already get the Dishonorable debuff

maybe they should get some 1 week ban if they get the debuff too often though

Apex will win vs “Kpex” and prove that its not just the teamcomp

edit: it aint EZ bein KPz has to win vs Good Fights first ofc and im not sure if that happens

@ Roseof: but what Vala means isn’t the 1 gold 40 tokens chest…

it’s the 3 masterwork item (or something similar) chest…

i think that is really a bug

this is nothing severe but just something that has been bothering me a bit since some time^^

17310 AP —> 90%
3912 AP --> 90%

… that is quite a big difference… and still both 90%…
cant Anet make 1% steps from 80% to Top 1000th place?

guess this also shows how many players stopped playing gw2 before reaching 3.9k

if 3.9k and 17.3k AP is both higher than 90% of the GW2 population
then 90% of gw2 accounts have less than 3.9k AP

but i actually meet more players over 3.9k AP than under that amount of AP….

so instead of seeing 9/10 players being under 3.9k i see roughly 3/10 players being lower than that… means the other 60% are just inactive

so probably 60% of the 90% who are all under 3.9k are just inactive…
thats more than 50% of the entire gw2 population (maybe more / maybe a bit less since this is just some guess based on what i recognize)

you can always try to invite the enemy player

you just need to have him selected
then open the party window and itshould automatically say – for example: “Fissue of Woe Soldier” – then you just need to click invite/join and a request to invite him/join his group is made

you can also just block him to see his real name then unblock him and whisper him

works in pve though

but letting enemies slowly bleed out so that they cant respawn so fast can be an intended tactic in spvp!

if the 4 warriors are 4 shoutwarriors then probably yes
OP shoutheal stacking

Gwalchgwn.1659…..
ofc they dont change stats … noone here ever said that…but the skills you have will be defined by the weapon equipped….

Rainbow Sprint.3215:

It was always 8 for me, any more was a gathering bonus, either from WvW, a booster, or your guild.

You must’ve just got really lucky.

rich node was ALWAYS 10….
or i had luck to get +2 with a 100% success rate for tons of rich nodes that i mined since release

Junkpile.7439:

I don’t even have 250 empyreal stars yet. I have only 130.

ha buy collectible slot increase

then you dont have a reason to complain about too many ascended materials dropping until you have 1500 empyreal stars (150.000 empyreal fragments)
:D

the reward tracks werent meant to make spvp players rich

1) you get them just by the way while farming for your rank/playing tournaments anyway so its definitly an improvement

2) they are mostly for the skins and armor/weapon stats

3) some new minor goals to work for each day/week depending on how much pvp you play

i like it

no they dont see it

edit:

ill check again tomorrow morning then…
but i logged through my chars and multiple times on my main who has glacial sky, deep glacial sky, pyre and molten unlocked
but when i wanted to use it on my ele it didnt show these dyes while it showed all other dyes though…

cant test again right now though

yeh they should introduce that you can chose what rank emote you use!!

just like Lux.7169 said – in GW1 you just had to add 1/2/3/4/… etc for a rank emote to decide which level of it you want to use.
that was really nice and i would love to see it in spvp

otherwise i couldnt continue doing spvp if i dont want to get the “meh” dragon emote xD

EDIT:

nvm i found it it wasnt removed

called tribal … should be there

Tribal Headdress / Tribal Mantle / Tribal Vestments / Tribal Bengles / Tribal Leggings / Tribal Walkers

for me its always to the very bottom on the wardrobe skins

are you sure that you searched it on a light armor class character?

marvin you need to update your signature you arent r71 anymore ^^

what rank are you now? 200+? xD

but on the topic:
thats really annoying yes and needs change please!! :/

is it only unused skins or also used dublicate skins?

I rly hope, the amount of Caps and exclamation marks I used makes clear how kittenIN’ SERIOUS I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even though, I was pretty sure, that the style of writing and the content of the post made it pretty clear, this was pure sarcasm & irony, I supposed that this last sentence would erase any doubts.
Obviously, I was wrong…

just wanted to make a post directed @bhagwad.4281, EdgarMTanaka.7291 and Eyia Hellhide.7320
asking them if they noticed it was irony… cause i couldnt believe it wasnt xD

Yeah I assumed it could be irony. Wasn’t sure, but anyway, my opinion still is the same. Eat a snickers.

ok i can agree on that

Wanze.8410:

I was savvy enough to buy some of my own, after the announcement that will not drop from the chests anymore, for 15-20s.
I wasnt the one though, that bought out the whole supply and listed at 100g but boy, are these bags demanded:

epic

if it wasnt another trader who tries to resell it for even more then i would have loved to see the face of that player when he just gets a few silver back xD

https://hom.guildwars2.com/

this HoM calculator site which is also accessible by going to “Services” —> “Hall of Monuments”
never loads since some time

sites like “downforeveryoneorjustme” say it is really down too
and every other website works for me

Azure Moonfire.7493:

[…]I think it’s really neat how people who are branded “enemies” by the game, and can’t communicate with each other besides emotes […]

just join their group and you can communicate as much as you want with them

johnsonade.9547:

[…] It said a lot to me that someone from another server would help me complete the OS jumping puzzle without being able to communicate a word. That right there is the universal language that games speak in, when you can be a such a decent person to a stranger, and how you can really brighten someone’s day though the both of you are pretty close to anonymous.

just join their group then you arent anonymous anymore and you can communicate as much as you want with them

Wolfheart.1938:

[…]
But how am I supposed to know when the game doesn’t even allow you to communicate properly?
[…]

the game DOES allow you to communicate properly
just join their group and you can talk as much as you want with them

if these people want to talk to you too then they will accept…

i really wonder why people still dont know that this option exists after over 1.5 years in the game^^

but then warriors using stability to cast the stomp would have to be made impossible too since its just a utility that gives them savestomp vs guardians/engis/necros/warriors

and for thief its the same
just 1 utility on even longer cooldown!

i dont see the problem

every class has its advantages vs certain classes for finishing

how is this anything new??

and you arent invisible you are just ghostly….

yeh map glitching is very fun
i think i have at least 3000 screenshots from mapglitching alone ^^

i already glitched out of every single PvE map (needs a title for this!) and i know how to get under 11 (LA, Hoelbrak, Divinitys Reach, Black Citadel, The Grove, Diessa Plateau, Iron Marches, Cursed Shore, Mount Maelstrom, Caledon) of them (not counting in dungeon maps now) which is always fun since you can let the game teleport you on top of everything then
(been under 12 but the other one was a random bug)
—> we need new maps to glitch out of!

Farothion.7604:

[…]

I am not claiming to be the only one practicing the art of “Off-mapping” though. I am claiming the title though for I only know 1 player in the entire game that knows as many places as I do. (Xiem/Trix – We play together sometimes)

i bet i know more places and glitches :P
we can make a fun competition to see who is more map-glitch addicted

funny thing is that i discovered 3 jumping puzzles by map glitching…
i glitched around since its so much fun to explore whats beyond the invisible walls and high rocks and suddenly… jumping puzzle achievement xD

this game is full of possible glitches in every map…

you can get easily under every wvw borderland and under eternal battleground
also under obsidian sanctum

you can then port into keeps, towers, walls in SM etc…
and also skip half of the obsidian sanctum jumping puzzle…
all without any hacks just by jumping and using port skills…
they really need fix pls!!!

except for ONE thing in wvw:
glitching under obsidian sanctum and then swimming to EB and then glitching out again and you have the WHOLE EB map for yourself its all empty and all walls and doors are down

we already played some superfun private special tournament games there like 30 vs 1 and the 30 players had to search that 1 other player in the whole map and kill him in a certain time but with no other players to interrupt our nice game^^
so much fun!

but not even the spvp maps are safe…
you can glitch out of most of them
luckily it doesnt bring any real advantage since in the time you waste for glitching out of the map your enemies will have a bigger advantage and you need certain weapons/skills for it and you cant switch weapons in tournaments so you would sacrifice something there

but map glitching makes you find so many really nice places for awesome screenshots!

and @ Elrey
you can definitly get there before you finished last boss etc….
don’t you know the skip jump that everyone uses for fw?
you can just continue from there and jump to the edge of the TA map and explore further^^
and that fear of jumping to the edge of the maps… is totally unnecessary…
you can have funny 30 second jumps because you slide down in the air at the edge of maps so slowly
and if you use your legendary with footprints there you will have like 20 footprints per second which looks pretty amazing

hehe why does he say 2500 tpvp matches won in his signature but it shows that (he played over 2500 yes but) he only won only 1342
:P

or you have a second account?

brave guy though^^

edit:

There was a time when my account was banned for having the name “Gasmic”

I was forced to play Elementalist on another account

wow anet is really harsh with that…
forcing you to change the name would have been enough in my opinion :/

spark 1100g
3 left

if you have fun with tonics you can buy the endless cat tonic for 100 laurels for example
and you can still buy 1 or 2 ascended amuletts in case you ever want to do something in pve then you already have the best possible amulett

silvermember.8941:

Orangensaft.7139:

wait… so you could spend 1000 euros/dollars for gems
and then get 400.000 rank points which equals r45
without EVER playing a single pvp game^^

(50 euro = 4000 gems = 4x chalice of rank points (cause atm it’s on sale) = 20.000 rank points)

now in case you have rich parents/are rich yourself and you can spend 10k on the gemshop then you get rank 225 (r70+ with old system)for pvp without doing anything in pvp?^^

i thought at least pvp rank was something you couldnt buy :/

my calculations for the ranks were based on this chart https://dviw3bl0enbyw.cloudfront.net/uploads/forum_attachment/file/143743/sPvP_Rank.jpg
for the new system after feature patch
(i dont know if it is correct but even if not you still get very high ranks considering that you dont ever actually need to play pvp for it xD)

solution:
dont make it possible to buy the deluxe upgrade more than once per account ^^

edit: i just thought so since i bought the deluxe version when i bought gw2 and yet i have the option to buy the upgrade ..

it seems bad because you dont know the kitten you are talking about.

1. you can only get the items once.
2. assuming 1 is not true in fantasyland why would you sped8 that much on gaining pvp rank, even when it comes with only finishers?
3. in conclusion, ignorance is not an excuse in the real sorld.

relax dude …no need to be so offensive ^^

was more of a fun calculation of what could be possible
since the thought of reaching r70 without ever playing spvp was funny

and about your 1. :
like i wrote i wasnt sure if the upgrade is buyable just once or more often since i could buy the upgrade even though i had deluxe version already…

soon you can buy your r70 with reallife money anyway
(without ever having played spvp^^)
when chalices of glory become chalices of rank points…

only solution would be that you can buy the deluxe upgrade only once…

provided that you are no poor person ofc
but working in real life and spending the money for gems and then buying rank points will definitly befaster than farming it

wait… so you could spend 1000 euros/dollars for gems
and then get 400.000 rank points which equals r45
without EVER playing a single pvp game^^

(50 euro = 4000 gems = 4x chalice of rank points (cause atm it’s on sale) = 20.000 rank points)

because you can still use them!

i never needed them because of the gold cost… it was more because of the use in instances or areas where no repair npc is

means fractals / dungeons / obsidian sanctum or other wvw areas

useful after 1 hour obsidian sanctum chaotic fun fights if you can just repair and go on ^^

would love to buy bag slots
IF ANET ALLOWED ME TO DO SO….

the maximum bagslots you can have are not even enough to carry half of the gemshop items with you… !!

why should i buy anymore gemshop stuff if it just had to rot in my bank because anet doesnt allow me to buy more bag slots….

so players who bought everything so far arent allowed to use it all? they have to walk 20x to their bank per day everytime they want to use a different item…

basically anet doesnt want players who bought every gemshop stuff so far to buy anymore gemshop items and doesnt allow them to spend money for bag slots….
that doesnt make sense at all

anet would only win from allowing players to buy at least 2 more slots for bags….

i really REALLY dont understand why they never allowed buying more bag slots…

yeh and if you transmuted ascended on ascended (for the stats of one and the color of the other one… now you cant buy the spltters anymore..
why?

yeh i too have several hundred crafting mats but no more weapontokens…

and i bought skins for 40k glory etc
which i didnt even have to buy since i can farm the skins in pve with just doing dungeons for 30 minutes per day

Beldin.5498:

The interesting question is .. how much gold do you make per hour with that ?
Since 50-80g per week doesn’t take into account how much hours you play.

he wrote 8-12g/ hour

and where do you have that 50-80g per week from???

“On a good week, I generate over 80 of each T6 mat along with two full stacks of Globs of Ectoplasm. This doesn’t even include all the other T5 mats that amount to 30-50g alone every week.”

that is:
~250g for the T6 mats
~185g for the ectos
+ the 30-50g from the T5 mats
+ other rare drops

maybe he is just rich and bought it all legit?
no overhasty accusations^^

Lord Hammer Hand.4815:

ok guys how many rank 70+ do we have now in pvp? ill guestimate around 20 and that maybe exagerating by a lot. thats a minority even in a really small pvp community we have. your saying that when 15k players who play pvp, harcore or casual who likes the changes have to listen what the 20 rank70+ players want? gtfo

dude wtf…

WHY WOULD YOU WANT dragon finisher if EVERYONE has it???

it would have ZERO prestige…

that change is one of the most stupid things anet ever decided to do for pvp besides trying to remove ranks completly…

seriously…
what sense makes this???

why would people want it?
dragon finisher would be the prestige of bear then?

and what is bear then? at r50 too? or r40? and shark?

what?
