Combat speed isn’t almost zero, it’s 70% of noncombat. The entire point is that people who aren’t in combat can catch the ones that are. thatsthepoint.jpg
I wounder how ppl would react if things like this would be done just like this for other things imagine picking up your phone to make a call all of a sudden u cant make a call because some guested your phone line or just pick it up and ppl are just having some conversation
This is funny… you should look up what a party line was.
you should look at your last word ’’was’’ lol
People still use those? Those weren’t even common after ww2…
You would want a ranking system? Or how about matchmaking? How about a formal challenge system so you can set a time and fight specific guilds at that time? How about unique maps with varied terrain or do you just want a featureless white floor with no defined borders? How about variable battle sizes? Do you go with just free for all, you show up with 20 and they bring 60 and streamroll you or do you set up a system that only lets each side field equal numbers? Do you limit gvg to just 2 guilds fighting or do you allow up to 8 Guild rumbles?
That’s just of the top of my head and that doesn’t even start to consider rewards for winning or incentives to take part in gvg.
No, no, no, no, population limitation is already a generic property of every zone, wtf?, wtf?
My friend purposed an interesting idea to champion boxes. To make them locked and the keys you can get from world bosses and final rewards in dungeons. Perhaps increase the rewards to make up for them being locked.
Oh ya cuz we really need another super rare drop/gem store key so we can get a green out of a box.

Do you have any advice on how best to deal with kittenty phase 1 locust RNG? Or would you suggest just resetting if you get crap like what made me ragequit last night, where his first scream brought 4 locusts followed by 3 on the next?
Depends on what you’re trying, if you’re trying to get a speedclear done, you cant really afford more than one 3+ locust spawn I’d say, if not, I recommend putting up a temportal curtain on a place where the warden is likely to spawn, the cast the warden, pull swarms in, immobilise with skill 3 and shatter once warden is done hitting, Aside from that, you can always use timewarp if you get in a situation like that, use it well, shatter a bit and let the warden hit a lot, you should be able to get most of them dead.
Haha welll I’m just trying to plain get it finished, I’m not even worried about speed yet. Thanks for the tip.
My main is a Guardian and I don’t really play around much with other professions. Guardians are one of the most restricted professions in terms of the weapons available to them. I don’t think it would be a good idea to add the low %age chance of getting a useful weapon to our profession to the already low %age chance of getting the ascended drop in the first place.
I do like to play around with builds – as I’m sure many people do – so if I get an ascended weapon with certain stats, chances are I can find a spot for it somewhere in a build as long as its a key weapon for my professions.
Sword, Shield, Focus, Greatsword, Scepter and Staff are all useful weapons on a guardian (although Shield maybe a bit less). Moreover, you sound like a person who likes to ‘play around with builds’, which means that might mean a Mace build even. Add to that Spear and Trident for underwater.
So that means that you have 9/19 = ~47% chance of a useful Ascended drop.
Which is a lot more than I would say about useful stats.
did you leave out hammer by accident or purpose?
Accident… It’s more useful than Mace too..
So, 10/19, that’s little over 50% chance of a useable weapon drop.
Compare that to useful stats…
But then you get a fractal repeat, 15 tridents later you finally get… a warhorn.
You all realize it takes time to build systems for the game. Especially maps. If you want gvg and you want it done right with integrated systems and tracking etc then be patient.
If you want a bare bones open field just so you can get out of wvw and any buffs that may be there, then go support my thread to create some bareboned multipurpose rooms that the populace can use for anything. . Just realize that getting that fast bandaid fix may delay getting real gvg even longer
Why would anybody want gvg to have some special system? So ANet can throw game breaking buffs at some teams?
i like big baubles and i cannot lie
all you other players can’t deny
that when difficulty spikes in a random place
and invisi walls hit your face
you get stuck, wanna use a push-glove
cuz you notice this world is tough
died in the middle but respawned back
my jumping puzzle dont want none
unless you got gems hun
Totally off topic here, but the above post is just magnificent.
Careful, you might get policy-ed. Your post suggests ANet supports these lyrics which clearly ripoff the intellectual work of an artist and suggest women are inferior to men. Didn’t you go to the forum posting class?

Nah instead they gotta move it to a different subforum so some moderator here would have to file some paperwork and request a WvW person look at this thread instead of just leaving it where their WvW people will actually see it.
Bree is so smart. Can’t believe a 3 yr old can do that. Does Bree not like Asuras? I think it would be so cute if Bree plays a little female Asura.
She isn’t a fan of Asuras.. she thinks they’re ugly. lol. She likes the Norn a lot, though. I have a Norn Ranger named Aubree Swiftpaw, that’s her favorite.
What I want to know is why do we have content requiring organization and cooperation on a raid level… in open world pve? Seems like this new tier of world boss shoulda been made into something more along the lines of an instanced guild mission.
@Player Character: world bosses do occur in Overflows but currently they have their own timer, like a separate server, so those you’ve went to were pre-existing overflows that just happened to have a timer at a similar rate. That Frostgorge overflow likely existed due to champ farm trains.

Rifle Turret – Automatic Fire: Bleeding has been removed. This ability now applies 8 seconds of vulnerability each hit.
I’d like to point out that /deaths says nothing about your peformance, i’m pretty sure PvP and WvW deaths counts, also there are deaths from when you’re learning your class, learning how to skip something solo, soloing stuff that shouldn’t be solo-able and so on. Just because you read about the /deaths on the general discussion doesn’t mean it is actually useful.
Super adventure box counts too :P maybe someday we’ll get a breakdown in /deaths.
Basi venom->Mug(insta cast)->CnD(1/2 second cast)->backstab(1/4 second cast)->2 spam is still pretty silly if you catch somebody from behind. If they’re tanky enough for that you can even run d/p on your other set and powder->2 then 4 on some nearby rabbit instead. I don’t play my thief because that’s boring tho :\
He came from BP, he knows what he’s talking about.
Lol
I’m trying to figure out why this matters? So what? The guild and I left Brolis because of crap like this. If the server only wants to follow 2 commanders, fine by me. When the masses start to leave because we aren’t really putting up the numbers that I know maguuma can just because over 80% are fairweathers that can’t fight in small groups or are less skilled than me (which is a chore), don’t complain when everyone says mags is the new Anvil Rock.
All I did was put out my frustration because, last I checked, the home map should be priority and unless the train is taking it back, no one wants to help take it back. If you all like SoS taking over and upgrading, more power to ya.
Sorry, we lost what on home bl thru the night? SoS wiped how many times with a size advantage? Did duke meteor you when you weren’t on mag at some point?
Zoom out your view, it’s just dropping down from spiking up in the August. Probably somebody made a post along the lines of ‘omg you’ll need this for ascended gear crafting’
sos commader rage quit due to up level and people not on teamspeak rip sos
and how do you know that?
but yes nice effort Maguuma, i hate weeks like this because SoS oceanics just turn full zerg mode we really do much better against SoR and TC and you guys completely embarrased us to the point where i just couldn’t take it anymore and my previous guildie and main SoS oceanic commander couldn’t take it anymore aswell.
well mag needs oceanics maybe you can transfer and we can teach you our magswag ways
no
Also how did you know i rage quit?
[Enter]/w[Space]
They must be doing something right, Duke appears to have his tag actually turned on :P
So SoS… if you don’t have enough on SwagBL then what IS enough to fight at most 40 people spread across an entire map while you’re blobbed?
I should have known that it just meant a daily lock out (ArenaNet official policy now, not “Is it fun?” but “Is it a daily?”) without a reduction in the blue skin prices (which are going to be rarer than the green/gold ones which are less time consuming to “farm”).
Blue skins are going to be more rare than green/yellow skins? lol, are you crazy?
In the 1 month it’s out people who run trib can easily make over a dozen green/yellow skins. The blue skins are actually more time consuming to get and, unlike green/yellow, they won’t be coming back. (A green skin takes what? 40 minutes tops on repeats?)
I have the same problem with the Celestial Orichalcum Imbued Inscription. I just need to make one more Exotic to hit 500 huntsman and i have made one of these but it won’t let me use it to craft a weapon. I have not discovered any of the Celestial recipes yet. I sent a bug report in game this morning regarding this.
I did as well. So it’s not just me.
I hadn’t previously used any Celestial Imbued Inscriptions before. Did your inscription show as Account Bound?
For the nth time in this thread… celestial is NEVER discovered it is only learned from recipe sheets.
Season 1 is going forward as we described, however nothing about future seasons is set in stone. We’ll take a look at the data we get from the first season and will absolutely make adjustments so that future seasons are even better than the first one.
My concern with four leagues is simply that there isn’t enough variety at that point. I could very well be wrong, but we are going to try season 1 this way and then we’ll take a look at how it played out.
Great… weeks of having to face at least 1 tier 1-1.5 server to look forward to. Say bye to the WvW populations of the servers that are royally screwed by this system. It was bad enough watching rank 4’s occasionally get matched to rank 12, now it’ll be the norm. Variety in matches means being in one sided matches more often. Variety just gives the massive server a couple different names on their screen each week while they 80v20-auto1-lagfest.
Will we see more of this ‘variety’ policy in other aspects of the game? Will my jumps in SAB now come in a variety of results each time i press space? Will world events get variety so that instead of lvl 15 zones always having a lvl 15 world boss they’re just as likely to have the priest of balthazar appear at level 80?
You better hope TESO completely screws up their answer to WvW when the populations of half your servers get tired of you promoting server stacking and then matching stacked against normal. Also destroying our ability to run any sort of organized gvg.
What frustrates me is the karma train that mags has. I logged on this morning to see not a whole hell of a lot of green, so instead of playing the toon i wanted to, I got my tag, said in LA that I needed men to come and help get our map back, and no one came until I got on the map and started putting a small dent in he SoS hold of mags map. The Xushin gets on and all the fly by nights just miraculously log on at the same time and run with him, while leaving me to beg my little guild to help. Same thing when Duke is on. Mags needs better skill in its players or we may as well just PvE it from here on out except the trains, because those trains accomplish nothing when our home maps is someone else’s colour. That simple.
did some goober put out a mace/shield guardian build that got popular or something, because the number of them I’ve seen in pugs runs is rising rapidly. and they get so upset when I tell them it’s a garbage weapon set
If problem is that you can reset the fight with enough mobility perhaps completely removing or just reducing out-of-combat regeneration would do the trick.
Heal in stealth can effectively do the same thing but for only one person. Also any high enough duration condition that isn’t removed will keep you in combat while the applier is allowed to leave combat. Last I checked, if a ranger wanted to they could leave combat while their pet keeps you in combat by not being as far away.
tried your method didnt seem to work for me so to get my story straight. I transmuted my leg. longbow on to a white longbow bought at the weaponstrader . the transmutation gave me a legendary longbow that looks like a normal white longbow. I guess I should have used the stats of the white longbow and kept the appearance of the leg. Was that my mistake ? Do I have to end up with a leg weapon thats WHITE in stats just appears leg. or a white weapon look a like with leg. stats ?
thanks for your replies.
Just asking because the weapon was soulbound could not transfer it out of the bank tab.
Well first, I don’t know how the game responds to splitting it if you mashed another white onto that so I would split it back into a legendary and a white before continuing.
What you wanted to end up with is the stats of the white and the skin of the legendary. This makes the item white quality which only go to account bound not soulbound. Then you can move it and split it.
