Guild Wars 2

It’s the last crafting profession (besides cooking which doesn’t really count) to be added to the game. It’s been 7 months since ascended armor tailor and leatherworking were added to the game. There is still no method to obtain ascended valkyrie, carrion, or zealots trinkets. Is this even in the works?

Funny but not “cool” camping N camp with a guild group if that is what you were doing.

North camp farm best farm

Let’s consider what would happen if this guild wasn’t "gvg"ing these other guilds. What would have happened if, instead of fighting the guilds in open field, they decided to go after your hills, or garri? Instead, that guild “contributing nothing” to capturing a tower kept entire enemy guilds distracted from capturing anything.
I play in one of these guilds that do “nothing but waste server space” and the 20 of us kept an entire map queue (3 guilds of around 30 players) occupied with fights for a whole night. Know what happened when we ended raid? That map queue took everything on the map. So get off your high horse saying that these fighting guilds contribute nothing to your precious ppt. Because they’re fighting the fights that you can’t win.

+ condition duration and – condition duration cancel each other out.

ascii art failed….
Anyway…my point was that you shouldn’t immediately drop of the leaderboards after a couple days inactivity.

rank ~1400. 1 ascended weapon chests – Shaman stats (lol). Maybe 2 rings.
It’s completely unacceptable. The drop rate really needs to be buffed. Firstly because wvw players make about 10% of what pve players make and 20% of what pvp players make. Secondly because the game mode is dieing. A nicely buffed drop rate would attract players back to wvw.

No the resulting durations are capped at -100% or +100%, but that is after +duration and -duration are added together. So If someone has +100% duration and you have -130% duration, the resulting duration would be -30%.

Yes. However + condition duration and – condition duration cancel each other out. So if you have -100% condition duration and a necro has +100% condition duration, the duration increase and decrease will be added together before the final duration is calculated.

I keep playing wvw every night because I love my guild and I love the fights. It’s the only thing that still challenges me everyday.
That being said, the stagnation and lack of development are real.

Well necro’d

WvW loot is garbage.
I am over rank 1375. I’ve gotten 1 ascended weapon drop and it was shaman stats.

The rank up chests should have at least 1g in them and a much higher chance for ascended armor/weapons. Maybe that would help with the huge population loss after season 2.

And GvG is more fun to watch? It’s 40 people running around with their heads cut off while spamming abilities with no clue of what it’s actually doing. It’s very easy to do because if you are a bad player and mess up, no one notices because there’s 19 other people on your team that can make up for your mistakes.

Spoken like someone who has no idea what they’re talking about.

The gvg between Agg and TA had 1.1k-1.2k viewers, and, unlike spvp, nobody had to bribe viewers with precursors to get them to watch.

AsmallChicken.9634:

*This unsupported game mode pulled comparable viewers to Anets official esportz tournament that they had to bribe people to watch with precursors. *

Same. Everyone has been experiencing it. Lot’s of random rubber-banding with no explanation (fights/no fights, 50 people/5 people).

Prysin.8542:

Currently, GvG IS ruining WvW for those of us who want to just WvW and not watch 15-30 people take up queue spaces.

What queue spaces lol. Wvw is dead even on tier 1

5-2 Agg over TA (gg NA)

Siege Etiquette for Beginner’s

Open Field in Tier 1: Used all the time in T1; because winning is everything (much more important than quality of play and improving your own quality) and since you are just spamming ‘1’ all the time, you might as well use siege

Open Field in non-T1: Is the equivalent of flying the “we suck” flag. Special exceptions for camps and large-number discrepancies. (building siege to drain supply and troll incoming zerg is acceptable)

placement level of suck

between Briar and Bay: alt +f4 please

between Bay and Garri: /uninstall

Ruins: acceptable if using sieging towers, otherwise you should feel bad

bridge to South Hills: Anyone who walks into that choke probably deserves OFS on them, go ahead.

camps: poor etiquette when you are attacking (also self-defeating), but trolling points if outnumbered defense.

This is pretty accurate.

Add this to the massive list of things wvw players have asked for nearly two years.

I’ve seen both mesmanders and necromanders. Necromancer is by far better.
Necromanders can be tanky enough to roll with the melee train. Mesmer’s only real job is to drop a veil on engage. Furthermore, mesmers have terrible personal survivability.

Map creation is a developer-intensive process. My guess? Months.

However, getting new borderlands maps or even a new EBG map, and having those on rotation every week would definitely help the stagnation that is felt by most wvw players.

Deli.1302:

Well isn’t that what you t2 servers wanted? A gvg tier without the t1 blobs?
Now that you got it you complain lol……..

Here’s your solution though: transfer.

Also, I believe the lack of queues is because the tournament just ended and it’s that time of the year….. your precious queues will be back, don’t worry

Here’s the thing: several serious wvw guilds quit/collapsed due to problems mentioned in other posts. This post has nothing to do with what “t2 wants.” And it has nothing to do with wanting queues. No one in any tier wants queues
The problem is that servers that don’t belong in tier 2 will continue to be in tier 2 because matchup system is flawed. That is the point.

Mods this is NOT a matchup thread. Please read thoroughly before ignoring.

Currently in Tier 2 nobody plays anymore. On reset we had 0 queues on any maps. The tier is dead (see multiple other threads about why it’s dead).
Here’s the problem: Tier 2 will continue to be tier 2 because there is nothing that will change the rating. With the current matchup system tier 2 servers will continue to fight tier 2 servers and have artificially inflated ranks because there is no one to drag them down (see collapse of SoR).
People can hate on matchup variance as much as they want when matchups are complete blowouts, but when multiple servers are ranked higher than they should be, there is nothing else that will fix that besides matching them up against lower (actually more populated) servers.

Since the most recent patch, the veteran irukandji are broken and do not despawn after the first phase.

Needs moer intro

From my other post:
5 months ago…
You asked us about population imbalance:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Collaborative-Development-World-Population
And instead of trying to balance populations, you gave us season 2, which made the problem 10xs worse. Entire servers collapsed and a couple servers got insanely bandwagoned.
You asked us about the commander system:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Collaborative-Development-Commander-System
Absolutely nothing was changed. Even the simplest thing like giving color options. Nope.
You asked us about edge of the mists:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Collaborative-Development-Edge-of-the-Mists/first
The second worst thing to happen to wvw in terms of helping population balance. The only incentive to transfer off of stacked servers was eliminated and replaced with a 24hr karma train.
5 months ago and not a single thing from the previous CDI was ever changed. Give me one reason why I should even bother with this new one?

Probably the biggest thing that killed wvw is the tournament. The tournaments did nothing to help balance server population. Instead it promoted stacking a couple servers while destroying several communities in the process.
Besides that:
Stagnant matchups and same maps since launch.
CDI from 5 months ago with 0 changes.
Reintroduction of bloodlust, which nobody asked for.
Eotm, which was a total failure.
No support from devs (eg. gvg).

It’s really sad too because wvw I think could have been gw2’s strongest feature. It’s definitely what keeps me playing the game. 2 years and 4.4k hours later, it’s the only place where I still haven’t hit my skill cap and is really the only end-game content.

How many points do you have to work with? Generally you want to put 4 ranks into supply mastery to have the chance to get supply back when building. 1 rank into build and 1 rank into repair mastery (they’re cheap). After that save up for applied fortitude, then applied strength. Then ram/cata/ac/treb masteries.

What’s the better ranged option for warriors in fractals? Rifle or longbow? Mostly just for those few bosses that are easier to range dps.

For the buyout (higher) price? How long do most people wait after listing for one to sell?

If you are leaping or jumping and you get immob’d while you are auto-running, you will be unable to use skills until you physically tell your character to stop moving. This is a serious bug and needs to be fixed. Thank you.

So every single colossus listed at ~730g disappeared and then more (or same) were listed at 890g within an hour because more people are making more gold?
Was there a 150g giveaway party I wasn’t invited to?

The price just rose 150g overnight. What. The. kitten.
In the past couple weeks the price has gone from ~600g to ~900g.

over rank 1180, 0 weapon, 0 armor chests. Several guild members in same range, similar numbers.
Estimate of drop :
0.1
Conclusion:
Way to fricking low.

Does stone heart continue after you swap out of earth due to lingering elements? Or do you lose the passive immediately after swapping out of earth?

Worked fine for me. Had 2 chars in the 400s, one at 115, and a bunch between 20 and 70. Logged onto each character. Was rank 1175 after everything added up

Ascended armor prices are an abysmal 2 silver to the vendor.
Ascended weapons however vendor for 1gold.

Why does this matter?

Because when you get a crappy ascended weapon box drop, you can at least vendor it for 1g.
When you get a crappy ascended armo box, however, you vendor it for the same price as a green item. If you crafted ascended armor you no longer want, you can only vendor it for 2 silver, despite spending upwards of 100g on it.

You can only preview weapons from the wardrobe in their “stowed” state. Previously, you could preview weapons stowed, wielded, and weapon-only formats.
Pretty hard to chose a weapon if you can’t even see it

It really is sad that only spvp gets any sort of engagement from the devs when it has the lowest player involvement.
To be fair to all communities in the game, the dungeon community has it far worse.

People who know nothing about GvG really shouldn’t be commenting. It exists in gw2 in the basic state that it is in because guilds like to fight each other on an even playing field with equal numbers to see (prove) who is the best.

There exists a very simple solution. Create a custom arena system identical to the one that exists for spvp. The map is the arena from OS.
The map and the custom arena system are already in the game, so it wouldn’t take much to get this to work.
Guilds pay gems to maintain the right to use the custom arena.

There you go. 2 birds one stone. Guilds get the gvg arena they’ve been asking for since the start of the game (arguably the most requested feature in gw2). And anet starts making a better profit from wvw besides the tournament transfer cash-grab.

There are lots of things they could improve in wvw. Commander tags is definitely one of them.
Out of all the discussion in the CDI, nothing has come out of it for wvw. Really not that hard to add functionality to the commander ability. Or at a minimum to make it account bound. Legendaries are becoming account bound. Really no reason commander tags shouldn’t be.
