Guild Wars 2

Are you upleveled?
I can probably take 4-6 upleveled players at once as an ele.

It was an oversight. The huge pet heal mechanic is intentional but was designed around land and being able to stomp the ranger. It will get nerfed for underwater combat soon enough.

You had me until you said ’a lot of damage’. You ever played an ele? Our glass does less damage then most bunkers.

Ele with 1200 hours here and I agree with you that the tactic is cheap and should go but you have to replace it with something. Lowest armor, 2nd lowest hp and 2nd lowest damage output, all we have is our utility skills which continue to be nerfed and removed every patch.

Dungeons are casual friendly, very few take longer then 45 minutes.
Dungeons are not bad friendly, play better and you won’t have issues.

If you want harder downscaled content downgrade your exotics to blues since that is what the content is balanced around.

I got 1200 hours of enjoyment out of a $60 game, that’s a huge success imo.

There is still a huge JQ presence for WvW, but it is quite literally lacking in the coverage BG currently has and the burn is being felt across the board. This probably isn’t permanent from what I understand, and JQ has slipped and rebounded before so don’t discount JQ any time soon.

Usually you guys are resurged by a new guild transferring over but since you’re presently full and locked I’m not sure where you’re going to get new blood.

Change a letter

I’m not entirely sure it’s possible to add harder content without cheap tactics.

Please quit taking away all the cool features of my class (ele). I already feel like a kitten guardian with less armor, less hp and less damage.

I like to do both, mainly dungeons.

The nice part about dungeons is that I can control who I play with. Dungeons with the guild are usually quick and successful.

The problem with DEs is that you get a lot of deadweight. Players coming in and just throwing in 10k damage and afking or dying and laying dead waiting for someone to rez. With the new scaling, this is a huge issue. It took us 1 1/4 hours to finish the Temple of Lyssa a few days ago simply because it was scaled so high and so many players were being lazy participants or non-participants.

Let’s be clear here,

This gentleman and his guild are new transfers to Blackgate. They are by the very definition of the word bandwagoning to the top server. This gentleman and some of his guildmates in their 2nd week in the match up went on to these forums and started bashing every guild on SoR including our flagship guild TW.

TW took it as a challenge and has stacked into EB all week, a borderland they have never gone to before, just to fight these guys. Now after 4 days of getting what was coming to him he’s running like a coward....

All aboard the Dragonbrandwagon! Woo woo!

Melandru is almost always open on Sanctum of Rall when its not bugged. Two guildmates and I were able to kill the Priest and waves, Id recommend just grabbing a group and doing it.

I did Lyssa a few days ago on JQ. The champion gorilla illusion was downing 10 people at a time with his ground pound, it was pretty hilarious.

Highlight of tonight, watching SoR go unmanned cap BGBL Garrison right in BG’s face.

I’m assuming you mean outmanned, an unmanned take of BG garrison with BG inside would be scary :P

Nope, unmanned, I’m pretty sure all the SoR guys were botting! BG was that bad!

Also, ty for catching that, it made me LOL, I’m so freaking tired. >.<

I have rank 5 Spell Check Mastery amongst other things.

You have r5 unlocked already? OP necros………

No reason to go there.

Laurel and guild commendation systems discourage alt play. Better karma from higher zones, better loot from dungeons.

Guesting to Tarnished Coast during NA prime times and Jade Quarry during off hours will give you the most players to play with. I do this on all my alts.

Why would it do that? Charged lodestones are higher up in rarity (yellow), and I think charged lodestones and equip drops are in different categories.

From what I’ve read, a blue equip can be promoted to a green equip, or a rare equip, but the equip itself wont transform into a material item.

I was referring to the white loot bags ie Heavy Moldy Bag that have a chance to give a core/lodestone when opened.

The problem with MF is that it naturally progresses the item to the next rarity without regard for value. A high MF may change 30 Heavy Moldy Bags into 20 Heavy Moldy Bags and 10 blue items. In this scenario MF is working correctly but you’re actually losing money.

Shrug, I love logging on to a +20 tick. Gives us more stuff to try and take, defense is broing.

Jay.4837:

Magic Find is a joke. Total useless garbage stat that takes up the spot of other useful stats. ANet doesn’t want you getting better drops. That screws up the economy. So, even with the max – 367% magic find, you’re going to get maybe 5% better drops than someone with zero.

I have been testing magic find for over a month, and my wife with ZERO made twice as much money farming the exact same events. If anything, magic find works in reverse.

White loot bags are worth more than blue and green items. While MF does increase your chance at an exotic it more often then not turns that potential charged lodestone into a 99cp vendor fodder blue item.

I almost feel bad for BG. You guys had to put up with the red-headed stepchild guild for 8 months. He finally moves away and his younger brother moves in.

The game is more enjoyable and leveling goes quicker when you have other players to interact with. I don’t know what server you’re playing on but I’d assume you’re not running into many players as you travel Ascalon.

Try moving over to Queensdale and guesting to Jade Quarry, you’d find far more players to interact with and this will speed up your leveling process.

From what I saw RISE was messing up SoR in fights all night in EB on reset, so he has a point.

That was the night we were ticking at +300 and you were ticking at +145? Congrats on being able to hold 1 of 4 borderlands against even numbers. You guys are awesome!

Grove.2835:

lol Snifflesniffle? No tears here kiddo. Just wish the 3rd server in T1 had some skill beyond zerg balling and sucking on JQ’s kitten to stay in the tier.

You Blackgate guys spent the entire first month of this match up complaining that SoR wasn’t playing for points. Now we’re strategically playing for maximum points utilizing zerg balls and double teams and you’re complaining about that.

At what point does your critism stop being rationale and become complaining for the sake of complaining?

Grove.2835:

xiao.9258:

SoR wins the hardest fights during NA prime to stay in T1 you gotta respect that, so we have plenty respects for TW.

Eh I’d say its more like SoR and their massive zerg balls are able to wipe half the BG on map while the other half are busy with JQ. Relying on knowing JQ would rather have BG points, and kicking BG while they are down is in no way winning the hardest fights.
GG for basically competing against only 1 enemy in a 3 way fight.

I love these posts, all I hear is snifflesniffle Quit outplaying me! snifflesniffle

Kaimick.5109:

We worked hard in EBG, We booted JQ out of the map around midnight last night withthe unknowing help of SoR, then quickly turned on them and killed them. For most of the night it is a BG dominance, around 4 or 5 am we booted SoR out of EBG. Manyof us worked hard for this win, and making it seem less than it is, well it is childish.

We were pushing you and JQ kept backstabbing us so we flipped on them and you came with us, it worked great until we got to green keep. Every time we pushed green keep from the north hoping you would push from the south but instead you backcapped us, we got annoyed and logged off.

Playing staff now, not nearly as fun as it used to be using S/D.

I used to be able to solo roam picking off yaks and camps in WvW, now I have to stay with the zerg or I die.

Seems to me that this match up is moving in the direction of EU T1.

I mean no disrepect to the dedicated guilds/players of JQ but some green faces I am used to fighting in the mornings were blue faces last week.

Guide to proper elementalist play:

1) Get jumped by <insert random class here>
2) Stand there and die
3) Respawn
4) Repeat Steps 1-3

Playing Neverwinter

Length was too long and the reward was lackluster.

Go and post this on your EU forums 0_o

Lol, Americans

Guy is a blowhard and not respected here either, please don’t consider him an example of all Americans.

I don’t have a problem with confusion doing high amounts of damage and punishing poor play. My problem with confusion is that it triggers on way too many combat related activities.

I swap attunements, I take confusion damage.
I dodge roll and trigger Arcane 11, I take confusion damage
I reach 50% health and armor of earth passively triggers, I take confusion damage.
My weapon procs, I take confusion damage.
My food procs, I take confusion damage.

There are times when I get confusion bombed by multiple mesmers and I go from full health to downed without using a skill, that’s ridiculous.

Is it a video of you guys transferring to another server?

You seem to do that every other reset.

Anything to speed up the gameplay, WvW is way too slow right now.

Pardon me for my ignorance but where exactly do havoc squads fall into the current meta?

I have no troubles taking fully upgraded supply camps alone. Yaks are easy to pick off even with 5-10 escorts and I can browse the net while auto attacking down a sentry. It seems stupid to vring extra people with me when I can do everything alone, theyd be better off in the zerg ball.

Can somebody please post a score update?

I got ya covered from work lil’ buddy!

I like your asura, your armor looks awesome! So much more cuter than Cuddlestrike!

Wow, thanks for this guide! I’ve apparently been playing WvW wrong for months!

What about trebbing? Should I stop doing that too? Also I’m an ele, swirling winds hasn’t been giving me much wxp lately, should I switch to dagger off hand instead?

Thanks for the help!

I play roughly 2-3 hours a day during the week and longer on my weekends. At the moment I am leveling a guardian trying to take my time and enjoy everything along the way. I was first attracted to this game because of WvW which I now avoid likes its the plague. I spend all my gametime on teamspeak socializing with my guildies which I met through this game, all my RL friends have moved on to other games.

I like dungeons in this game but they require too much time to complete.

Some of the paths themselves are too long, when you throw the 15 minutes it takes to form the group along with the 15 minutes it takes to do the group event to unlock the dungeon it just becomes an unreasonable amount of time.

Jade Quarry has the largest overall population, Sanctum of Rall has the largest NA population.

Warrior and Guardian are far and away the two strongest classes in PvE right now. Guardian is more group oriented so I would recommend that.

As far as a duo partner, I would recommend Mesmer. Elementalist and Necro play like their traditional roles from other games but the mesmer class is truly unique and makes for a good group support.

Right now you don’t even need to be in the guild to activate it.

We got Wolf Run for the 1st time yesterday. We had just finished our bounty, started Rush, and everyone went afk to watch video and break. Once everyone was back and settled we moved over to Harathi to start, come to find out we only had 2 minutes left because some passerby activated it.

We were unpleased….

You sure it affected u? Passerby can not activate it. Only a guild member (or officer i think) in a guild with active rush can activate it.

This happened before to us.
We came to a Rush place and saw the event with only 5m left.
But, that was other guild’s rush mission. We ended up transforming and running with them for fun. They failed though.
Then when their time ended. We activated ours and finished just fine.

We didnt stick around to find out, you may be right.

Hello there.

Speakin’ of Moderation, we really need some GMs on all the WvW,
I’m from Jade Sea, and we are facing some strange things comming from Elona Bief.

They can destroy all our defense weapons, if your weapon is not targetable, the will target it and destroy it, the weapon is far from them? no problem they will get it, we can’t understand, some people are talking about a " Dezoomer" who will allow them to see and target whant we can’t see and target.

we really need to face fair players, i’m not saying that ALL the guys from Elona are cheating, but we are quite curious to see how do they do that without a log ou someting.

Kabyliana.

Jade Sea.

Mesmer Greatsword 1 and Elementalist Scepter Air 1 skills are both bugged atm. They are suppose to do direct damage but are presently doing AoE damage. Both skills are able to kill siege through walls without targetting as long as the view is not obstructed.

Sick of all these ugly asura updates, can we get some hairy charr babes to do a few updates?

I find dungeons to be such a hassle to do.

You spend 15 minutes making a group through a 3rd party site, then you spend 15 minutes clearing the group event to unlock it. You always have to pray someone has completed SM to open it, and someone always leaves after the 1st patch causing tou to repeat the process.

You spend 25-30 minutes prepping for a 10 minute dungeon.

Going to miss brawling you guys. Our fights were always back and forth, certainly some of the more enjoyable ones Ive had in T1.

I cant fault anyone from wanting to move away from skill lag, have certainly considered moving myself before.

Notice the circle to the left where no one is on the lower left and who is on the lower right. That circle was there taking out an ac. Saw it in EB as well form the same guild last night. Help US Stop Zoom Hacking!

Not saying you are lying but do you have screen shots from other angles? At least one with the arrows from the arrow cart?

Your screen shot doesn’t prove that the circle on the left came from the arrow cart and not someone who is off screen. Arrow carts are generally built where that one is to kill enemy arrow carts that are behind the gate by seeing through the hole in the top.

Does my SS prove anything? I mean you can even see the arrows coming down in it.. But fir rilz, where do you stick an arrow cart outside that door that can drop the center of the red circle behind the guy on the arrow cart for JQ in front of the green door?

The same spot you place it to hit this one, obviously.
