Story mode: Investigate the mysterious disappearances.
Enemies and allies and the camera go outside the tunnel walls. The enemies and allies fight out there and you are obstructed. Mostly the enemies go from almost dead to obstructed kill your allies and come back in to get you.
It makes this part of the story mode so annoying. I have run in to this on 2 diff chars so far with the same problems.
Hey guys I was thinking about getting my girlfriend a gift for our anniversary, she likes chocolates but complains too much about gaining weight (she’s 125 and 5"6). Was wondering if maybe you guys had a good solution. Thanks.
I do like the dragon but rather than player count make it based on landslide victories. Say make it a 50-100k point lead you get dragon events and the dragons shoot trebs shots at your keeps so that if you ignore it you will lose all your walls and dragon minions will flood in and take the keep. They would also have to modify the ranking system though otherwise servers would get stuck in their tier even more than they are now.
Adding PvE into PvP is meh at best but it would give the super dominant servers something to do.
If you care to test this notion, name the BL and give us one day’s notice and pick a neutral time (NA Prime works), and we’ll be there.
Does this mean you will guild vs guild with us if we ask? Or are you just saying JQ has the most dominant prime time in the game? Personally, I think BG is better than JQ prime time and SoR is better than BG.
If SoR and BG have such dominant NA why is it that you didn’t take the PPT lead til about 10:30-11pm Eastern? That’s fairly late in NA prime for the “best” NA coverage to take a lead.
Aka 7:30-8pm Pacific. “NA prime” is a large time slot.
During the week there is a trend where each server PPT spiked at the same time each night. http://mos.millenium.org/servers/view/41/20 JQ’s Thursday push was hardcore.
I Think the “Prime times” overlap on the servers and what we are really seeing in point spikes are the coverage gaps on the opposing servers rather than domination.
Peaks in PPT:
JQ ~ 7-11 GMT
SOS ~ 0-5 GMT
SOR ~15-22 GMT

TLDR. QQ already. Legendary is a prestige item. It should be hard to get. You should need to try every aspect of the game. What it needs is a gift of sPvP and to remove badges from the JP.
IMO Drop rate seems to be dependent on party damage. Fly solo=very low party damage=low/no badges. I norm get 40-70 in abt 4 hours (I play support roles so my drop rate is lower) depending on how well we are killing and if I have time to stop and pick up the bags. Our glass cannons get 120-170 over the same time period. I’m still waiting on a decent reward. I’m at 10 stacks now.
JP drop rate is much lower than good fights because its not sustainable. I really hope the remove badges from the JP’s, its bad for the community.
My wife is mad at whoever’s (JQ) idea it was to walk the golums back and forth through the open gate, while I was dumping oil on you, over and over again. My laughing woke her up even though she was upstairs on the other side of the house.
Great fights in SM.
Part of the problem was we had no one on TS with us. Hell even our commander wasnt on. And no mesmer co-ordination. We broke the gate just as you started dumping the oil, and the 4 of us promptly peaced the scene. The other 4 waltzed up (having not taken the portal that was called out on TS) and promptly got pooped on.
At least, assuming this was the first golem rush, the one that didnt take SM, and not the second one that did.
The EBG TS for JQ is horribly lacking throughout the day. And for a good long time after we took SM there was no commander, no plan, no rallying or grouping of any sort. It’s a little disappointing to go from massive fun fights to suddenly everyone’s running around like headless chickens because our commanders are all squandering themselves in the borderlands (Im looking at you JQBL. You had 8 commander pins in the TS! ~.~)
The first. What got me in trouble was not that they walked in. It was that they walked in, walked out, then tried to walk in again. I rallied in the middle of it. She was really mad.
Most fun I have had in forever. Win/lose I just love the fights. This match-up is great.

There are 4 things that you are missing that decide the drop rate/quality from your WvW kills equation.
1) What level you are. → Rewards are scaled to your level so higher level gets better drops including badges.
2) What level the player killed was. → Killing noobs normally results in junk http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Junk or packages http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Package
3) %damage done to the player from people in your party. → No party=bad loot, I like having a high dps in my party to ensure I get good loot.
4) Weather or not you personally have done enough damage to qualify for a reward. →If you don’t do some minimum amount of damage to the player you don’t qualify for loot.
I personally hardly ever stomp people when running in a zerg. You and your party can do a much higher %damage if you don’t. Also if I don’t have quickness http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Quickness I find the zerg kills him before I have a chance to stomp.
When in WvW beware The Pain Train [Choo] is coming.
Dungeon farming is the best way to get gold in my opinion. Now that you can play Fractals of the Mist with people at different fractals levels it is a very good place to farm gold. My favorite is still classic dungeon farming. My friend was telling me that AC is best because you can get tokens fastest then salvage the low cost pieces for materials. I farmed TA alot in the past for yellow drops but it is less consistent sometimes good sometimes bad. My current fav is CoF speed clears.
With the correct food/potion/gear/class combo’s you should be able to consistently pull 2-8 gold/hour from a dungeon.
Keeping track of things like scores makes people feel like they are better than others. That’s just not nice. We should remove all the scores and fighting. We should just have a place where all the servers can get together to discuss the social structure of quaggans. Huggles all around.
Everybody here seems to be either happy or upset with this decision, but I am truly surprised that nobody … including apparently ANet … realizes what having to do a complete reset to zero really means. It’s an overt admission that ANet’s rating system (the modified Glicko-2 calculation) is incapable of responding to changing server dynamics in any meaningful way. ANet has clearly decided that (in their words) “several weeks of volatility while the ratings settle down” represents a quicker path to parity than the rating system would be able to accomplish on its own. That’s pretty pathetic in its own right, but it’s even more incredible that ANet would elect to stick with such a flawed system instead of spending the time and effort to craft a more workable one. I find this aspect of the decision to be the most incomprehensible of all.
+1
Agreed, anything resembling Glico-2 on such a population base (24NA 27EU) will end up in utter stagnation if working correctly and utter failure if not.
The biggest winners are all t8 servers actually. The Elo hell of t8 is really mathematically difficult to break, and it was created artificially with transfers. It’s probably their biggest reason for doing this reset, because otherwise, t8 servers wouldn’t see the light of day besides a bandwagon.
I doubt T8 will enjoy the crushing they will receive in the weeks to come. The hardest part of breaking out of an elo hell is winning, something T8 wont be doing alot of while matched with T4/5.
True, but it also means that all servers that want to get into Tier 1 will have to earn their way in, not exploit a dead servers uncorrected high rating to shoot into Tier 1.
No it means a ton of PvDoor and more dead servers. It means when Emery bay crushes IOJ and DR again next week they will move from T5 to T1/2. You think they can field even as many as SBI the “dead server” your referencing? I don’t.
I really wanted to give SoR a good fair fight when BG left the picture and it never came, which above all is a real pity. There was a good chance without the transfers that SoR could still have won tier 2, but I also think that TC has proven capable enough as well. But because of the transfers I can’t answer that question. This matchup was broke and is now essentially pointless. A win* is just not the same as a win in the Dwhitecyclopedia of Crittanica. :p
The January 11th SBI-SOR-TC match-up was untainted by transfers. It was close that week, SOR won because they didn’t sleep and the commanders pulled night shift duty. We have all seen a “fair fight,” it’s odd that people forget that match-up so quickly.
honestly Anet the only ways we get our Badges of honor for our legendarys is by eathor doing the JP or by killing players it would be nice if there was another way to get them like capturing a fort or tower or camp im getting sik and tired of trying to do JP and having to die a lot by people who troll the JP. this is really fustratring and i would like some change please. here is a screneshot of what im talking about
I am at 8 stacks. I get most from killing people running as a guild, second most from flipping camps/towers with 5 man or less. I hardly ever get JP badges and i think they should remove them from the JP entirely. badges from camp/tower lord is like 90% drop rate or something. You just need to do alot of the damage to the lord. on a lvl 80 5 man team flip camps and you will get alot more badges than jumping puzzles give you. Also QQ, killing people in PVP is not trolling.
I had a similar idea: make it so that caravan guards (the NPCs, not players that are nearby) able to resurrect the dolyak they’re guarding as long as they’re still alive.
I think it might work a little better than this since you could at least stall the dolyak while you killed the guards by downing it, but would still serve the same purpose of making the NPCs prevent you from killing it so long as they’re still alive.
I like it when 40 of you you knock down both outer and inner walls look into the lords room see it is sieged up and walk away without a fight. You know who you are. 20 men can steal most of a borderland and defend it most of the night. Epic fights.
I’ve had a couple of people I know purchase a GW2 account. Upon character creation, they were unable to join the same server that I’m on. It was “full”. I’m left with a difficult decision… do I abandon my guild and friends on my current server to play with them on theirs? I did see on the GW forms that if I switch worlds I can’t go back to my original world for 7 days.
I read a lot of information regarding “guesting”. It would really be nice to have that function available, or to have the option to return to your current home world and not have the 7 day waiting period.
Any response regarding the “guesting” feature would be appreciated.
guesting doesn’t work right now. have them keep trying to join your server. “Full” is a BS statement. It changes with how many people are on at that time. Have them transfer late at night or really early in the morning. I had several of my friends join my full server. Just have them keep trying.
Another option is to stick it out for a few weeks. Your server will move up and find competition. It may take some time. During this time you can find a new interest to take your time. Work on a legendary, have your guild do PVE events together liek farming orr.
Your server is gaining 200+ rating per week, you might even skip tier 6. this means its like 2-3 weeks before for face a decent server. 2-3 weeks isnt forever. http://mos.millenium.org/matchups/#NA
100-200 man populations wont get you to the top, as it sits I doubt you will make it through tier 3. You will find a challenge. You may want to take the time to prep for it.
Stack up on siege from those free jumping puzzles. You will need it.
If you stand by a yak that is in transit it will show its destination on the map (Orange circle with white star in center like any escort objective). They travel along the road.
Squads are fairly useless. You cant see the other commanders if in a squad so you are limiting the information you receive. I never use them.
In guild wars 1 there was a time since last logged meter. This immensely helped guilds stay active and cut the inactives. It is so hard to do that in a large guild without some sort of tracking available to the leader.
Are your criticisms mostly being leveled at the personal story and cinematic conversations, or also with the ambient scenes and events?
Personal story cinematic conversations are terrible. I am not sure if its the voice acting or the writing but i have a sense of dread when i think about pushing another toon through story mode.
Story is not what I tell my friends when I try to get them into this game. I normally disclose my distaste for it but only after I think I have them hooked on the things i love about this game.
Defiantly not the quality of original guild wars 1. Reminds me of the half kitten job done in factions.
I was in WvW red borderlands doing jumping puzzle while reading on my other screen. Look back at guild wars to find I have fallen into a hole that you cant get out of.
I did not go under the map or in any terrain but I am stuck in this hole and will need to waypoint out. Maybe it is as intended, a punishment hole for people who aren’t paying attention.

a Mesmer came along and ported me out. Screenshot of above the hole. looking down into it.

When we went to t1 the first time it was bandwagoners that caused us to lose. First week we were very competitive even lead at one point then war machine came back and took first. Then bandwagoners jumped ship and we got pummeled back into t2.
Been a lot of fun though in t2 I will miss it. T1 is a whole new ball game I hope we are able to stay competitive this time.
TL;DR, TC needs to pick up their game so we can stay in tier 2. So many things have been lost lately because people stand there and watch instead of taking action.
If you fee like TC is going to slip back to T3, BG wouldn’t mind more bodies for T1 pew pew.
Said the dark figure while absently stroking his cat. “Murder your friends and enter the black gate. Take the easy way out no one will look down on you for it… your treachery will feed my horde, muwhahaha, muwhahaha”
SOR stomps during our prime time. It would be nice if all those keeps could be held overnight. We could use a couple strong Asian or Australian guilds to back us up.
Wow. SoR NA guilds throwing in the towel this week? In 2 months this may be the lowest PPT I’ve seen SoR with at 9pm EST, and the first time I’ve any sort of surrender from their NA guys. I wonder if they’re intentionally trying to push BG out of the tier heh. Nah … that’s not SoR’s style. Then again, Wednesdays are historically one of BG’s strongest nights.
Agreed, SOR is totally slacking tonight, we left you a keep.
Getting locked in the wall happens all the time. Same thing happens if your in a gate when possession flips. I normally just waypoint out if not in combat and die if in combat. If friendly mesmer is around sometimes they can get you out by laying a portal on the wall/gate.
