Guild Wars 2

Rigel.3092:

Umm, it is the PvE’ers cause even with the recent rash of transfers to JQ, BG, and SoR, WvW guilds were still able to get into WvW maps with minimal que times – after the League patch, NOW, the que times are utterly ridiculous and ludicrous!

Take in consideration a large portion of players which are on your server, pre-season were not joining wvw..but now with the event, achievement and rewards more of those already existing players on your server are tempted to join to check it out and so on.

Dunno about your guys but on blackgate, even tho u will see from time to time ppl mapchatting “pve noob” or “pub scrub” or whatever we encourage each and everyone to join TS for explenations.

I dunno if we have a better community then others but the majority actually listen, join TS even tho they have no mic, and take our advices. Since this started i’ve been on our BL and i’ve seen around 3-4 times insults if u can call them that related to PvE players or random pugs. All those were solved either by TS or by some of our more experienced players taking his time to brief him about what’s going on and what he should do.

The secret behind this is people actually acknowledging people that might have more experience in WvW, without ever knowing them, and listening to their advices + applying them, but also because of our experienced wvw players who actually care about patiently teaching others how to properly wvw without raging.

All in all the general mentality on BG is we want to improve not only ourselves but also our community. A bigger experienced community = more awesome fights!

Also when i personally when i am in wvw and i see people that might have trouble understanding what’s going on (the strategy etc) because we mostly talk in TS, i mapchat that if anyone has trouble understanding to PM me for explanations etc. and i usually get 2-3 ppl as soon as i hit enter, asking me about what they should do/scout/defend…or join the big fight…what to bring ..or even about builds/classes/food and such.

My advice..be more open minded to players who don’t know what to do. Put yourself in his shoes. If u insult someone it’s clear that someone will never take u seriously and will never come back to wvw. That’s not what u want..u want to create a team that has fun in wvw in that team. You want that random guy who at that moment didn’t have experience, to listen, learn and start to like wvw so he comes back knowing what to do. A team needs to be built. A team is never built on rage or ignorance (as in nobody tells him what to do).

Another instance works…beat that.

@Zoria: was on minimum already. The instance had issues

Doesn’t work….and i went right inside that hole, didn’t hit any walls on the clock. Maybe u got lucky..but finishing this shouldn’t be a matter of luck anyway.

Will just try to go into another instance of the clock maybe this one i am in is bugged.

Again..this should NOT! be a matter of luck or exploiting some glitches. All they had to do is make that hole bigger. That’s it.

U mean just regular front-dodge..there’s no dodging in jumping. Will try that also see if it works

Same thing…. over 10 consecutive succesfull runs till the tower..tried every possible trick.

@Anet how hard is it to code that hole, to be bigger? I can google the changes u need to make if u need help with it…that’s why we are a community right?

It’s not even close to any of the big names in GW1, as someone else made a post earlier. I still remember every villain and their role and how impactfull it was from GW1. The only reason i will remember (if) Scarlet is because she’s annoying.

She was fun at first….but now..meh…whatever…

I personally feel that anet is going through a crysis when it comes to making characters that have an impact on the player to be honest….and it’s sad considering they can look back at GW1. Nothing against u guys at ANet but seriously u are miles away from the story or the emotional attachment u achieved in GW1…….miiiiles. Only ppl who find scarlet as being a real foe are ppl who either didn’t play GW1, or played it briefly/very fast for HoM….but we do leave in a world where quality comes second to quantity…that’s a sad truth i guess.

A true classic: http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090921172228/hanna-barbera/images/2/24/Scoobydoo.jpg

And yes..that’s how goofy the story is getting…

Real question is… if Scarlet indeed recruits Canach….do i really care?!

Knowing ANet’s innovation when it comes to fresh and compelling new content i am sure we will see scarlet for the next few months, slowly changing her glow tint to blue and calling her a BRAND NEW FOE!

Guaranteed rewards like normal raids do. For extremely difficult content that u need a ton of ppl to do u need guaranteed not random rewards. That’s the main reason ppl do raids in games like wow…they know that, even with the effort and time wasted they invested, at the end they 101% get items that make the fight worth the time even if it’s or it’s not for your character (wow). This also encourages guild team work because a guild can come together to fight just to get players X Y Z in their guild the items they need.

I still don’t see why it would be useless. Compared to making content very few like or fine tuning it based apon a general impression players have to suit their player base better. If guilds practice boss runs on PTR good for them…it’s their time spent on the same game. Anyone can practice if they want to…as long as it guarantees a better polished result custom tailored for this community

How would it be useless?

They are testing on us obviously.

A PTR system is way above their income apparently.

I expected 1h of hard work and preparation + convincing 130 ppl that it’s worth loging into TS, and coordinating them, to be worth more then 3 CoF p1 runs.

As i said in a previous post and in a post prior to the release of Teq. If u don’t give good enough rewards why bother? It’s like having 2 options to getting a car. Work in a job that pays for 2000$/month or working in a job that offers 5$/month..keeping in mind the 2000$ one is even easier then the 5$/month and u want the same car. Which do u choose?

I personally don’t have the time to lose for hours and hours just to get a few greens maybe 2-3 yellows or best case scenario an ascended weapon. And that if i am lucky and get on the main server. If not just afk on a map. I will just make triple what u make doing 5 minute content in this game, and watch while ppl QQ about “1 gold drops” or get an ascended weapon after wasting hours waiting for main server, waiting for a good enough group, waiting for coordination and beating random drops from chests. Just gonna buy it

lol that’s the sadest thing i’ve read hahaha

Get a guild, make friends and change your server.

Are those better advices? :P

Ppl are coming to realize that. Back when i opened up a thread about “it’s all down to the loot, if ppl will continue wasting time on this or not” forumers started qqing.

The whole idea of raids even in wow was that u were 100% sure u will get top items at the end…they might of might not be for your class (in wow) but you were positive the loot at the end was well worth the effort invested and was guaranteed. If there’s no goal, why do it? At first the goal is to defeat him, i get that..let’s say that lasts 2 weeks and u manage to take him down each day. After that? What goal do u have.

I don’t see what’s elite about being lucky to get on main server and not in an overflow.

What they did is good, i love it…but till they either fix/enlarge or remove the concept of overflows this is a failed attempt for me.

This event honestly entices me to get an autoclicker and afk on that map. Well thought out system der’

TC is having a civil war in chat.

Not many people seem to be having fun. I’m done with it till it’s either fixed or figured out. I am having zero fun with the event. Seems very trollish.

Teq went from being able to be killed AFK to being ultra hard. Is there a middle road we can meet at?

I’m from TC. I was in one of the first fights, right up until the part where I got DC’d. Been stuck in overflow ever since.

That’s part of the difficulty apparently. Next dragon will enforce an overflow for each player and will keep the requirement of minimum 80 players.

Anyone getting this for the past 5 min or so?

If u don’t give loot of biblical proportions for doing this event, it will transform into a karka queen nobody cares about and everyone can happily live their lives without ever caring or knowing about.

Glhf with rewards….rest are details.

THAT’S how difficult they made Teq…u don’t even get to see him prior to the patch.

“Eye of Zhaitan will now fly across the zone, zapping players with pew pew lazor eyebeams. Players wishing to down him will have to get an Aion account and fight him from there. Drops 3 guaranteed precursors every time, but since you get them on Aion, they’re useless.”

NCSoft approves. It will be in the new patch.

So it’s a skill to barely finish?)

The only thing hard about halloween clock was the difference in character sizes and sometimes lag. Other then that it was extremely easy.

90% of the deaths i had were because of character sizes. That doesn’t translate into difficulty…

……Mmmmmurica……………

this made me giggle

Think i found a way. If you altF4 it doesn’t work, but if u manually exit the game by pressing ESC then Exit to desktop, it seemed to fix it for me. Try that.

Yesterday it worked..now it tells me i have to upgrade to a full account. Wtf?

I honestly have no doubt they are doing well. This is one of the best mmo’s on the market even with the minuses u might see or not. It’s imposible not to do well. They even confirmed in an article i can’t re-find now that they are doing extremely well just by gem transactions and because of this they are considering to never make a huge payed expansion for this game, INSTEAD just doing free regular living world stories that in time combine into an expansion-worth of content….or something along those lines.

They are doing well, they made a great game overall……what anet needs now is to keep players not only playing..but caring about this game. They really need to step-up their content production and i mean not “how fast” they deliver it….but the “content of that content”. I am personally very tired of some not small…but micro-scaled events that u finish in 2-3 days and give u abs no reason to ever do it again. From my pov we need new maps (plural) and personal stories not sidelines. Nobody wants to be “on the sideline” of a story…they want to take part at the main story which is dragons.

IF (sadly very big if) they do step-up their game and deliver real content, they will continue having both a good income and a satisfied community. If that doesn’t happen…it’s logical their income will drop slowly.

I honestly hope the wvw reveals will be of biblical proportions. If they just show orbs… it will be very disappointing. I am waiting for new maps..maybe map rotation 1map/month from a total of X maps…and this is just an example.

As for content…i am tired of lackluster content that takes 2 days to finish. I want real content that makes u think it changes the whole world. Like adding a A FEW new zones not just 1…adding new mobs…maybe a new race. New armors…new story.

Not 1 time stories that really don’t have that much of an impact….more then a “girlie with atention issues” that attacks everything with cool robots for a limited time. That’s not epic..that’s just temporary fun…and it really was fun…for those 2-3 days.

Done them all. Find them boring specially when u do it in a group u don’t really bond that much…and not because i don’t join TS and don’t take part at group actions in general..it’s just that guids just have NO meaning here. There are no ways to bond in a game that doesn’t really require any grouping (not to mention when grouped u need a reason to work together and the tools to work together).

For guild misions to have any meaning, in order to keep guildies satisfied more then “a few runs/type” till they get bored, is to have a valid reward at the end. That reward at the end has sadly close to 0 meaning. Some ugly skins..some things that turn u into banners..and what else..some accesories. I can get the accesories in more lucrative ways that also bring me extra loot and gold.

Other then that…guilds usually do those events for the daily/weekly loot at the end and in some rare cases, guilds that don’t have points..what them but the ones that do have them don’t care anymore. If u limit loot to just 1 day…and to 1 specific hour because nobody will redoo an event once finished, just so u can get the daily done and u need someone in a leadership position to start the event in the first place (if i am not mistaking), u actually expect ppl to care about guild events or the ppl that take part? Most will go “eh..whatever..i didn’t miss anything important”.

In an mmo interaction is made via events. People take part at events either for fun, loot or both. One thing is temporary out of this…fun…repeating the same thing over and over again doesn’t mean fun..so u are left with loot. Loot is limited once/week for each type. So you play a minigame that limits you for just 1 per week, gives u tokens that buy u nothing of worth or not obtainable by more lucrative ways, and gives u 2 items that sell for 1g max 90% of time..things that u get in 5 minutes of farming champions.

You are 100% right…they are the best small-medium group content in the game. You just told the saddest truth there is.

=bad english or not u get what i wanted to say. Am not native english=

Since when do guilds play ANY part (or have any meaning) in a game designed like Guild wars 2? With or without a guild you will experience the game the exact same way. This will be even more emphasized when they release the party finder…. because that’s (and eve then in remote cases) the only reason behind having a guild in GW2. Other then that…content can be finished from 0 without any help….wvw and map events u just join a big random blob.

Guild wars 2 is not about guilds silly.

Top-left corner i have the mini event window “Clockwork Chaos” that shows me where new invasions are, but it doesn’t display any text now. I thought it was “minimized” as it happens with other side-pannels so i tried to click on it. Any click in any zone sends me to the achievement panel instead of showing me the nested text.

I have no way to find out where invasions are. Is this intended somehow as to tell me i can’t participate in any invasions atm. because i was late? Or is it just a bug?

Tried reloging and all that.

Taking in consideration this is still a work in progress and a “learn from mistakes” thing, yes this event is really…just a lot of fun.

You guys really have to come up with something to avoid the overflow problem, it’s a bit annoying. It shouldn’t limit us to “first 10 minutes”. Apart from this…awesome event..brings ppl together, awesome creepy-scarry mobs..v good rewards..even the achievement rewards are very…well rewarding.

Keep improving on this new trend u have..u guys are very close to a bullseye

So any news on Cantha and elona? Did our qq thread do anything so far considering it’s the bigest and most viewed or posted thread this forum ever had?

Would be nice to hear some news however small it might be, from anet.

What were your reasons, out of curiosity

The message that i got ingame about kiel winning…and reading what she’s rewarding “us” with..honestly turned my stomach up side down. I am very sad.

I hope anet never pulls off stunts like this voting thing again. Gz anet u just dissapointed 48% of your voting player base..by rewarding 52% of the softcore players who can’t afford a simple teleport. I wonder how much u won from this event.

The devs themselves wanted Evon to win…and by the way the dev talked, he really wanted to work on Abadon which means he loved that project.

Don’t even expect a quarter of the love to be shown to a lousy asura failed experiment, judging by the disappointment that dev had. You all just missed out on the core-lore of the game just so u can save some money on teleports.

Sry but the fact we won’t get to see abadon just killed this whole experience for me. I hope u have fun with “1.5 silver teleports” instead of “3 silver teleports” and a fractal that most devs feel “mmeh” about making it…u guys deserve it..u won.

Asura that blow up things and create disasters has been so overused i am sick of even thinking about it. That….combined with the fact i like kittens there is no doubt who i will be voting.

What’s driving my vote?

False promises ofc…. haven’t u experienced any politics IRL?

Ah so that means it’s not just “1 chest / day”, it’s also “1 chest / day / daily-login”. If i don’t login i get the chest when i do that without loosing any on the way. It’s ok then.

Dunno if it’s a bug or not but here it goes.

Last time i logged in it was friday and i got the chest. Saturday i was away and i couldn’t login. I logged in on sunday expecting there to be 2 chests. I only got 1 chest (that has the second weapon skin choice). Now my question is: did i get on sunday the chest which i should have got saturday? or have i missed one chest

If i got the chest from saturday, does that mean it’s rewarded as i login? What i mean is…for example if i have 7k achievs, and i am at the “1k box” just as an example, and i don’t login for 1 month, after that month i receive the 1k box and the rest per daily login?

Just want to know if i completely missed a chest T.T

Adnul is a big intentional joke. Why intentional? It takes 5 min to fix him (even if it’s a completely new code that u never saw in your life and still had to fix).

Be sure i will never even think of touching this minigame when and if i ever achiev to finish the “vs NPC” part. The way they did this “tutorial phase for a future permanent minigame” has made me hate this will all my heart.

Just a repulsive game…and on top of all this even pay 100g for it (permanent thing) ? Go have fun with that anet. Learn to make your game appealing not irritating. Sry but u did a lousy job. Most of us will hate this so much u will see just a handful of ppl play your minigame past the event.

I am still waiting for u to fix this major bug with Adnul. I will take it the last patch was a bad joke patch on your customers, mmmkay?

Kay….go fix pls ^.^

PS. Don’t mango pies disappear when u get into combat with them? What use are they for then. I am actually slowly reduced to searching for exploits sadly. Gg anet. Luck based game. I know..why don’t u make a gem-item that makes us invulnerable to intentional bugs in this game ^.^ could make u profit. I am sure u already thought of it.

Thx a bunch <3

Ok so i got the reward, double clicked, did some voodoo shiny light thingy..and i was expecting a node to appear. I am a sylvari so i tried LA first then i went to the Grove (home capital). I still can’t find it :<

Am i missing something?

Yup it’s fun, but the skill lag in that minigame has no equal in this game in any of the zones. Maybe WvW..and that “sometimes”.

Sry but it takes all the fun out of it.

How about guessing without thinking everyone that comes on the forums with a problem is kittened. No i don’t do mistakes like that.
