Guild Wars 2

If there’s any solution to this “nightcapping” it’s simply, remove wxp rewards for structures and up the points for killing other players. Other then that it’s just plain silly.

Garnet Pebble + Garnet Pebble + Garnet Pebble + Garnet Pebble = Copper Doubloon

Lapis Lump +Topaz Lump +Sunstone Lump +Peridot Lump = Gold Doubloon

Question is, have you tried this out for yourself or did you just copy/paste what some random guy posted? I believe they’re all random rewards.

Well folks, the issue aren’t in the node farming but simply the amount needed to make planks. All other wood need three logs to make one piece of plank while soft wood requires four. Is it really fair since it’s now a part of the ascended crafting? I think not but interested in other peoples opinions aswell and hopefully A-net see this thread and reduce the amount to three logs alongside all other types of wood.

I just wonder why soft wood planks requires 4 logs while all other planks just need 3?

Been running around harvesting soft wood for a few days now and it’s really tedious to know that you require so much more of it to keep up with the other woods.

He Gandarians!

Let´s play for your 2nd place this week!

Have Fun!

PS: Greetings to Yak… !!!

Don’t think anyone care if we end up first, second or third as long as we get some proper fights. So far it’s just been a constant blueberry blobwar 24/7, which imo is the most boring form of wvw. But hey, if you fance pVe’in out in world vs world it’s your own choice.

PS: Season’s over!

Personally I can’t wait for Edge of mists, hopefully it’ll bring back the fun into world vs world. Fighting other players is so much more rewarding and imo that’s what it should be about, not this structure flipping BS it is atm.

Everything is just so blue all the time, what’s so frikkin fun in smashing down doors in empty keeps/towers and killing npc’s for the umpht time all day and night?

Isn’t seasons over for some ppl?

Get some frikkin sleep will ya!

I bet the morning crew disagrees with you.

@ Deso Morning Squads: Guys if you’re in the 7am krewe is it really necessary to laugh at the few defenders actually around? Totally unnecessary and bad sportsmanship to boot. You are better than that.

@ Demetrodon: GL coverage spans a minimum of 21 hours, some like the great Vizunah have close to 24 hour coverage. You’ve faced off against us twice now? Can you imagine a tougher situation going on for months? That’s what Deso faced, this is what we’ve become. Adapt or die as they say.

Adapt or die you say. Seems to me Desolation didn’t adapt as good then since your Desolation now are in Silver league, or am I missing something?

Demetrodon, I couldn’t have said it better myself so I’ll just agree with you.

It’s all just been a matter of time before you’d pull away from the rest of the servers due to your coverage, I guess the recruitment for off peak hours paid in full in the end. Congratz to first place in Silver league.

Impossible without their coverage.

Any class goes imo, it’s the dude behind the keyboard that matters.

Safety in numbers, that’s what it’s all about. AoE’s can’t hit more then 5 ppl and so on.

Change that and things will be a whole lot different, trust me. Game is designed to reward blobs as it is but smaller tighter groups can still defeat a blob but it requires so much more then just skill and tactics now.

Another thing could be to change the WxP for stuff, ie. Structures gives just a tiny amount of WxP while players gives a lot more. A defended structure rewards more WxP the longer the fight rages on, a undefended structure would just give a tiny reward in WxP.

Just my 2 cents.

CrimsonNeonite.1048:

I won’t be quite at my best this week cause of certain stuff, but please don’t go easy on me; I’m a Sword/Dagger Thief who will be running with a EXG or SoRo tag.
Especially you TDA guys, I’ve still not forgotten that I have a score to settle with one of your thieves.

I’m afraid you won’t see that thief as he’s on a vacation in another battlefield, assuming we’re talking about the same thief.

As to make wvw more fun for all I’d like to see a huge drop in points you gain from capping structures and up the tally for killing your enemy. Anything that makes players fight each other more then running around capping structures is a step in the right direction imo.

Dear FSP perma-stealth Thief,

Yeah, you! The one who ganked (or tried to in many cases) AG PvEs, the NPCs and regular WvW players only when at half or less health (from fighting your skilled server mates) at Golanta Mill during the afternoon Monday. I’m so sorry that your irritation level was actually higher than your skill. I’m so sorry that you bled out even after stealing and using a Healing Seed from my Ranger. I’m so sorry that the Thieves’ Guild threw you out prematurely.

If you would like a rematch, I’ll be that female Norn with the oversized Zephyr backpack, longbow and snow leopard pet waiting on the logs. Not quite a “bearbow” Ranger, I admit, but pretty average. Let’s see if you do even worse this time.

Love,
Really average AG Ranger

P.S. The merry chase you led us through the frogs was amusing at least. Allowed us to BFF them for a short while because of all the krait we killed looking for you.

Love is in the air me thinks

Vukanigia.5496:

I come on Gandara from Piken Square few weeks ago (started on Gandara then moved to FSP and Blacktide, Piken and back to Gandara). What i notice at start is that pugs do not upgrade towers and keeps. It’s not a problem if you have a guild raid on the border (not if they are not complete idiots) that will keep enemy raids busy and give you time to take/secure/upgrade your points. The biggest problem with Gandara is that pugs spread around to much, most of the randoms do not follow blue burrito on the map, they do not upgrade towers that we just got, they don’t defend Yaks and camps.

Guild groups are there to kill and demoralize enemy groups and to assist when needed and i c no problem in them as i said but in random players that are running around like clueless chickens doing nothing but kittening around the map chat.

We have to many useless people on the map without any clear idea what they WANNA do and what they SHOULD do.

First you can do when join WvW with 3 or 4 friends is to secure the camps, escort yaks and upgrade tower with siege units and walls/doors. If you don’t like that then you can join the blue burrito on the map and follow him pressing no 1 and giving your contribution to Gandara server in WvW.

The worst thing people are doing is afk-ing on the starting location, please if you do that after all then go to closest tower we have, place your champion somewhere on the walls so enemy players can c you (scarecrow) and where you can pretend you are scouting the area.

I don’t know if you’re talking about our borderland or enemy borderland, our own borderland is improving when it comes to upgrading and defending stuff, helpin out with building things in em. It sure helps when someone, preferably the “tagged” one, tells em to bring supps n build defence siege. Even so it looks way better then what it used to be like. I’ve spent many many hours running around escorting dollies, repairing walls n doors and tagged siege all over, all that plus keeping an eye out for enemies on the map and calling out when a camp, tower or a keep is being attacked or just even tagged. And I know for a fact that it’s a few of us who really put some serious effort into our defence, Fluffy, Sorv and myself included (Pekpinne), I know I’ve missed a bunch of names but I’ve got a bad memory, am an old fart see :P.

Still I don’t see it as bad, as long as people actually listen to those who cares about our frontier. We’ll do our best to defend what we have and the more, the merrier.

Keep it up fellas!

Dyno.9467:

Good match up from Abba only server with fight in them, Grandara hahahahahaha, hopefully next time you might actually fight

Pretty strong coming from someone who didn’t want to fight in gold league, but hey, all is fair right?

I’ve also noticed a big increase in this so called alt +f4 cr*p goin on, guessing it’s due to the new influx of PvE players who can’t stand getting beat up by another player.

Same with the stealthing thing, seems I’ve missed the introduction of stealth to other classes then thief and mesmer.

Lurch.9517:

So, how has the first matchup of season 1 been? I started queuing at reset last friday and I am fairly confident that map will be popping for me shortly.

hehe..

Queues aren’t as bad as they were ealier this week, atleast for us. Just happy it’s lookin better with less queues during off-peak. Just happy to be on Gandara during them hours but unfortunately it seems like our opponents have plenty of them queues from early mornin til late night.

Isn’t that what we have sPvP for?

As long as you get Wxp from taking structures (which imo is utterly wrong) ppl are just a bunch of hedless chickens when they find a blob doin just that stuff.
If A-net was to remove the high Wxp reward for taking structers we would see a totally different gameplay. It’s not really an achievement taking structures atm, T1 stuff just melts when a blob is runing around furiously takin everything in sight.
I’d love to see a boost in the Wxp you get from killing your enemy and a nerf on taking structures.

But will we ever see such changes? I doubt it.

Thx A-net for giving us lag from hell thx to leagues n what not.

Patience is running out rapidly, and A-net is really pushing the wvw community to it’s limits.

Sort leagues a bit better so that the PvE’ers can do their achievements outside of wvw if that’s what they desire cause as it is now. The game is rapidly goin downhill!

Impressive numbers during the graveyard shift you got goin Desolation. Too bad we couldn’t atleast get a proper defence goin.

+7 pages n counting with some pure love. How the heck do you even have time to play?

Only thing that pops into my mind is that the Outmanned buff should actually be helpful in the wvw enviroment.

ie. You get the buff and while under the influence of it your side gets a bonus to help you out dealing with the opposition, building siege costs less, repairing costs less and so on.

Just my 2 cents

It’s the fight between players that’s interesting, blobs and other structure carnivores can just stick to the gold league and think to themselves that it’s all about the points. Rank says nothing about your toon other then that is has a number of points. And from what I’ve seen this last week it usually means, the more complexed name on top of yer head, the worse they are in the battlefield against non NPC’s.

So bring it on!

Blobs everywhere, to much for my old liddul compy.

Another week of PvE for me.

Keep it green lads!

As topic says I’m getting frustrated that yet another game has gone down the PvD road, my point being that it’s way more rewarding grabbing structures then actually goin head to head with the enemy. It’s getting to the point that ppl avoid others in order to hunt the sweet nectar that is Wxp the easy way instead of fighting your true enemy, that’s another player and not a bunch of nobrainer npc’s.

Would love to see a change in the Wxp that actually rewards fighting the enemy instead of just one more PvE moment in a server/player vs. server/player area.

Just my 2 cents!

Change the buff to a reward in wxp or better siege damage or something that doesn’t have such a huge impact on the hand to hand battles.

Can’t wait for the reset, tired of grps of thieves and blobs in masses.

LampGhost.9658:

i don’t often say this, but this was probably the worst week i’ve ever ran in wvw… 1 server that does absolutely nothing but building 25 arrow carts in a keep and barely dares to actually meet your zerg in a fight, unless they outnumber you madly, and on the other side gandara that does nothing unless there is absolutely no activity on the enemy side of the map.

only credit this week goes out to [Scnd], very strong guild that must have had an even more boring week than me
and TDA gets added to my little personal hall of shame, for waiting in front of deso garri and repeatedly jump 1 guy with the 5-10 guys they had, and then eventually die when 5-10 pugs arrive.

It’s got to suck to be you. :P

It’s not even hard to get the wvw maps done so why complain? Just do the wvw content at odd hours instead.

You want a cookie?

w3 commander tag can ONLY be used in w3 and the cost should be in badges.

PvE commander tag can cost whatever and ONLY be used in PvE.

See, easy fix.

Slideshow fights aren’t fun

sPvP is like kindergarten on steroids, everything is free, access to all cakes n so on.

Feels more like playing CS then anything else, ppl run around in one map glasscannon spec, just to show up 5 mins later as a tank specc. The only cost is Time. sPvP should be left as is atm. A-net should concentrate some more on delivering the goods to w3 instead imo.

I agree, A-net won’t though.

I’m just baffled to how high up the ranks rangers are. I’ve never been a fanboy of fotm builds, I always try and find something that suits me and apparently I’m so far off it’s laughable. Every kitten class I run into in sPvP must be running around in batman, superman or even Chuck Norris mode, compared to w3 this isn’t even close to fun with the build I run around in. Wonders how it’s so much more effective in w3 but not in spvp?

This will hopefully mean more roaming and less zerging in the end.

Keep yer fingers x’ed!

Daddicus.6128:

I can’t figure out why anybody plays WvWvW.

It’s not PvE where just about every mob keeps doin the same stuff over n over.

There are no rewards,

I don’t know about you, but I get loot and badges from killing my enemies. Taking structures rewards you with karma and loot aswell.

huge costs,

You could always run nekkid

and the outcome of all battles is determined strictly by which side happens to have the most players.

Not really, but I guess it’s the thought of someone not playing in a competitive enviroment.

Can someone please explain what motivates people to play WvWvW?

It’s fun to meet other people who doesn’t keep doin the same stuff over n over, even though some guilds are just one trick donkeys! And the thrill of running into a huge blob of ppl with maybe just 8-10 of my own guys and come out victorious.

Thank you.

You’re welcome

The day Anet increase/double the CD on a few of the thieves skill is the day ragequitting thieves will be on Fox News.

As it is right now it’s just a cakewalk for any decent thief out there.

As topic says, why are there no recipes/discoveries to make when it comes to pure appearance items? I’m seriously interested in crafting things and to be able to get my hands on outfits is one way to enhance the whole gaming experience.

I.e. there’s transmutation stones out there but most of em lie dormant in vaults never to be used because of 2 different reasons. 1. level restrictions and 2. the lack of different armor/weapon skins to be made/discovered.

I’d love to be able to do stuff that only serve one purpose and that’s to make ordinary stuff look different. By doing so you’d keep more people happy and the diversity from it will enhance the game even more.

Any other ideas in this matter are more then welcome.

Escorting Dollies is prolly the most boring stuff to do out there, yet I’ve done it loads of times just to support keeps n towers with supplies. I’d love to be rewarded with something other then just a goldmedal and I truly believe most others agree. So lets all hope there’s a light in the end of the tunnel for doin this tiresome work.

For me it’s the official game breaker, I keep asking myself for the reasons to log in and do w3 but as it is atm, that aspect of the game is rapidly dying.

I can only hope that they will come up with some improvements in the next patch or I’ll start looking for something else to enjoy.

/signed petition.

Now I know why they believe they fixed the culling bug, it all makes sense, no really it does. Yeah!

mm… yup.

meh!

Never mind.

Fix the wvwvw for gods sake, I’m sick of hearing stuff about how Anet devs says things like,
– “We’re monitoring the forums for player feedback and act accordingly to what we get to know from them and their feedback.”

So, it would be nice to actually see some improvements on the “real” battlefield for once.

The best class can be which ever class, as long as the one controling the toon knows what to do against his/hers enemy.

So we’re back in a higher tier, I thouroghly enjoyed last weeks matchup against AG and DZ and I hope to get another great week. Keeping my fingers crossed that I won’t wake up each morning to a blue sea.

HF and GL out there!

Snip

Phule and Jathres. Don’t put me in a bad light by stating things i never said. I never blamed anyone for having a nightshift.

Snip/
PEACE!

If you didn’t talk about the nightshift, I beg your pardon. For what it’s worth it was quite easy to think it was the intention of your post.

And more people quit Gw2 because of culling and thieves………….

Easy mode is playing a thief in WvW. It’s like playing a single player game on easy difficulty.

Go play a thief in PvE then talk.

That quote just made my day.
