Back in my day we had these things called Guild Halls. You kids have it rough these days. Our guild was able to meet up at a common guild only location that provided vendors of all natures and skill trainers. Boy did it cost a pretty penny to set up but once you had oh dear oh my was it nice. Great place to just AFK or sit and chat to fellow guild members. It was also used to hold these great battles between guilds called Guild Wars. Oh wait I got it wrong it was referred to as Guild Versus Guild.
Other than the obvious power difference that is provided by it this lag is worse than a 3 way SM fight. Not to mention when zergs collide. If ya’ll are wanting this buff to be in the game fine. I hate it but its whatever. But nobody wants +150 to all stats at the cost of a game running smoothly.
Easy fix to this? Have a totem or something at the spawns or old orb shrines where you can pick up the buff. Treat it like food or w/e where you get it for 30 min or so and let that be that. This current system is killing your game for more reason than one.
You might get some good responses here but keep in mind WvW is far from balanced. I’ve always viewed it as a chance to show off what you have eared in the game. That being said my level 80 thief will 2-3 shot a level 20 Mesmer any day. The best advice you can find on the forums will be under your classes forum section. If its anything like the thief forums people will post builds, videos, and have basic discussions about the class and how to counter other classes. Now if you want to use WvW as a means to level ignor all the QQ about a up level enjoying the game and run on over to the commander tag. You will see other mesmers in action and will have the chance to ask them for advice on the class. When it comes to mesmers in a 1v1 or roaming situation I’ve seen a build get popular where they pop in and out of stealth constantly applying confusion to me non stop. No idea what that was but I’m sure you could find it. Seems to be a legit build.
I actually said something about that to a guild member the other day. Now if they made it to where you get an endless tonic or something by throwing them into the forge that would be nice but this “exclusive” mini that requires you to trash all the ones you just spent good money on is just stupid.
I’m actually stuck at work now but that’s something I would just expect from Anet. I still watch all the vista mini movies just to take in all the design efforts. This really is a gorgeous game.
Come on guys it can’t be 100% bad can it? I see negative things everywhere and not one positive post anywhere. I’m sure some people are enjoying the ~150 server wide stat gap now. Can we get some posts that point out the advantages to blood lust?
I’d say turn last refuge into “Use black powder at 25% health.”
But we’ve been complaining about last refuge for a year now, and ANet has yet to do anything to it, so it’s likely we’ll just have to get used to randomly getting revealed for no reason every so often.
Actually they lowered the cool down on it. I hate to use the whole cliche LTP phrasing but I’ve just learned to watch my HP bar. Would be amazed at how often that saves me.
It seems to be pretty obvious by now that an overwhelming amount of the community wants nothing to do with this orb patch. The center land does look nifty and all but that hardly makes us want a global buff for holding some shrines at the center of the BLs. All this seems to do is promote one server to triumph all making open field fights unbalanced. What’s even more annoying is that it will destroy GvG as we know it. Now that being said I like how they are adding more WvW content and the new area looks attractive enough. But I would have the buffs work in a different way.
-Keep the +1 point for stomping someone. Great idea.
-Owning the center area puts a debuff on all towers in the map called “decay” that constantly damages the walls/gates.
-Owning the center area puts a buff on all Yaks causing their base speed to be increased. I say base speed so when the +33% speed boost from swiftness is added they receive that buff as well.
To me WvW is a massive supply war. Yes stats matter but we don’t want that to be the main focus on who wins. Maybe it’s just me but when I find someone when I’m roaming I enjoy a fair fight.
This is just a small list of changes I personally would like to see somewhere in the feature.
1 – Roll in the direction your running when using Roll For Initiative and Withdraw
2 – Small cool down on Infiltrator Arrow and Shadow Step (talking like .2 seconds or .1 second to make sure panic tapping and lag doesn’t cause a double cast)
3 – Heartseeker’s leap treated as a actual leap. (go over small gaps and the what not)
4 – Unload channel time reduced. (don’t actually use this skill but I know a ton of thieves that would love to see it go off faster)
5 – Last Refuge stealth applies a unique stealth for .5 seconds or so that doesn’t break when you deal damage.
6 – First Strike’s 10% damage increase be applied if target is >50% hp or so.
7 – Venoms work like Mantras in that after you cast it recasting applies the charge of it.
8 – Cluster Bomb returned to 1200 range. (if you get sniped by that you deserve every bit of damage)
9 – Signet Use changed to retain signets passive in place of 20% cool down reduction.
10 – Rifle.
If u where in the tower that YOUR server hacked into you just guilty imo.
TC is leaving a bad taste to most of us this week. I had a lot of respect for you, but it is all gone.
That doesn’t make any sense. I got into the tower by using the portal. How was myself or any of my fellow guild members to know it was taken by exploiting? Furthermore where is the proof that the tower was taken by use of exploits to begin with? There seems to be a lot of people pointing the finger when only one person has been proven to be at fault.
What does me being in the tower have to do with anything? So if I go and defend my keeps your going to report me for that too? I reported someone I WATCHED jump into a tower and assault my fellow TC members. Did you see me exploit into a tower? Answer is no because I didn’t. Please stop ruining my good name as a honest player.
Your ‘good’ name, keep supporting those exploiters dude.
Its nice to know when your server gets thoroughly crushed you resort to exploiting and reporting legit players. Keep up the ‘good’ work!
Back to my original post. I asked for any and all players who witness a player abusing exploits to be reported. I do not support. We don’t resort to exploiting. A few bad apples will always be present in any harvest and the same goes for our server and its members. However I did witness you exploiting into our tower and in your own words to show your whole server how to do it. Previous posts even confirm you saying YOU exploited into the tower. That hardly fixes the problem and honestly makes it worse when you spread the knowledge on how to do it.
Congratulations TC on taking a fully upgraded Jerrifer’s without dropping a single piece of siege and without creating swords. Its the type of thing we have come to expect from TC though. I guess that’s what happens when you completely crush and demoralise your opponent.
Can you post some screen shots of it? I know I can safely speak for the majority when I say we don’t support this kind of behavior on the Tarnished Coast server. This kind of thing ruins good weeks and promotes bad sportsmanship.
~Proud member of the Tarnished Coast server.
LOL, you’re the one that exploited in and then reported me for doing it. You’re hilarious!
I did no such thing. I watched you get into the tower and attack people who were defending it.
No, you watched me jump in the tower and immediately jump out after your entire group exploited in. Dude, my entire group was right there, you should know you joined our group. All 3 of us reported you LOL

This actually has been mentioned in WvW a lot but new commander options for GUILDS would be nice. Like a commander tag that can only be seen by fellow guild members would be amazing.
Guild Halls? No. The combat is the first thing and the only thing that needs work. Screw everything else, please, for the love of Sigmar, polish it.
I love the combat in this game. Hell the classes even feel balanced for once.
The combat may be good for you but for a vet it feels terrible. Don’t get me wrong I love dodging and positioning but balanced? I’m speaking from a PvE standpoint, the part of the game that matters, pvp itself matters but it shouldn’t take priority over the core game.
This games end game is PvP. WvW is the only challenging thing out there. Sure there are fractles but that’s the same map over and over again. At least in PvP you pit your skills versus players and not mindkitten ts that do the same thing over and over again with higher health pools and damage.
Well it isn’t an exploit. You aren’t glitching into walls or doors. All those players were doing was using a leap to go over the gate itself. If you want to get a whole group in Ele’s can drop their lighting hammers so anyone can do it.
Secure trading will never happen. The TP is in game for a very important reason.
To make the TP flippers richer?
Give trading, so that players can actually trade & make a profit for themselves.
This wasn’t implimented solely because of the effect it has on game economies and the amount of scamming and backstabbing it infuses into the community. Do you want us to be like Runescape?
I would like the ability to sell high ticket items without being taxed to kitten. I understand it flushes out the chat sometimes but the trade channel works wonders for that.
When it comes to two players trading the simple “fix” to the whole scamming problem is to just have a little warning box pop up that tells the player to READ the name of the item they are trading.
Conquest: it the main mode for pvp, game wasn’t properly designed for deathmatch. Or any other mode without serious modificaitons to every skill.
Wth are you smoking man? There is nothing wrong with the skill sets. Hell we see it done on a large scale in WvW every day. Have two teams slaughter each other until one side is 100% dead. Seems legit to me.
The game has been out for a year… and we still can’t even do something as simple as search or sort by armor type – really now?
^This!^ omg I never really think about that until I’m wanting to buy new armor. Sifting past all the Heavy/Light sets with the same stats is just a pure annoyance.
Guild Halls why not? One of my favorite features in GW1 Party Finder for all your dungeon needs. I know the devs have already responded saying thakittens on its way. Secure Trading Trading between players like we had in Guild Wars 1 Dueling just let the players kill each other with no drawbacks in towns. I know this feature would blow costume brawl out of the water. Guild Versus Guild If you really want to break into ESL this NEEDS to happen. New sPvP and tPvP modes that don’t require you to stand on one point all day. Do you remember how fun RA was back in the day? Like team death match would just be amazing to have by now. Guild Alliances just think about how amazing this would be for you WvW community
That’s pretty much everything I can think of that would be “needed”. I could go on and on about the things I miss from GW1 that would be amazing with the GW2 setup.
Incoming immobilize, chill, and cripple durations are reduced by 33%. Blind enemies around you for 3 seconds when you are affected by one of these conditions (blind can only be applied once every 10 seconds).
There it is :>
I like this too. Both would be interesting to say the least
Personally I would love to see this trait changed to “Steal is now a ground targeted skill”.
How would this work?
If you hit nothing you get a special “stolen” skill that grants something minor. Lets say 5-10 seconds of swiftness?
You hit someone in a group of people? Get the skill of a random player or the one you target.
Make the radius about the same if not smaller of infiltrators arrow.
Traits like Mug and Bountiful thief would be AoE as well. Keep in mind that the radius of the steal would be minor. Heck cap the AoE to 2-3 players even.
I feel like most if not all of us can agree that this trait is not worthy of “grandmaster”. Hell I don’t know anyone who would actually drop 30 points into acrobatics and not just take Quick Pockets. This change would support Short Bow thieves and P/P thieves by giving them MEANINGFUL usage of the whole steal mechanic. I mean how many unload thieves want to be right next to their target for anything but a finish in WvW/sPvP?
Yumm just had a fun hold against the DB zerg @ Veloka only had 2 Yumm and 10 TSL holding off the 50 DB and their AC’s in the choke. Thanks for the fun fights guys!!!
For anyone who doubts him here’s the proof. So good.
Panic strike shouldnt be grandmaster imo. It is kinda fun to use with a spike build though on a D/D thief. Mix it with Basilisk venom and someone is locked down until they die. But at that rate you might as well just take residual venom and not lose your panic strike when hitting a random foe <50% hp.
Lol ….. I agree Dresden … he’s got to be kidding right. Since we’re here for a good laugh I know you’ll get a chuckle from this story. I had never played any online games; so I didn’t know all the terminology. I heard people talking about “farming” in Tyria, and I thought, “Wow, farms. Can’t wait to get there and build one for myself.” Well, when I went over the Shiverpeaks and looked around, I saw no player farms. After paying closer attention to chat, I realized what they meant. It was my first introduction to the concept of farming in an online game. I sure know what it means now. I’ve done it enough times. =)
funny thing is I had an experience like that but it was backwards. I thought it would be a good place to make money but nooo it was player housing (different game)
There is no mules in Tyria. If you look at the wiki a mule is just a character that you use to store stuff on, and has nothing to do with lore.
Closest thing would be a dolyak.
So why do people keep saying they made Mules? To my knowledge there were yaks in Guild Wars 1. If it was just someone to store things on why not just say “I made a yak”. I just want to know some simple background lore…
I keep hearing about Mules and how they were a big part of Guild Wars 1. I was just wondering what happened to this race and when we will get to see them in Guild Wars 2. In the meantime can anyone give me some of the background of the Mules and how they impacted the story line? I’m a major RPer and I can’t find anything useful on the topic.
