Guild Wars 2

rhodoc.2381:

WXP Pool can be account bound while abilities can be character bound. Seems fair

I think this is a great idea.

To prevent under-80s from having a stat boost (Guard Leech / Killer) right off the bat, make it that until you’re 80 you can only spend 80 wxp points (or some number under 115).

The current system is really alt-unfriendly.

Ogre, thank you so much for putting the effort to do this .. especially being on NA really appreciate the great footage from across the Atlantic .. plus especially the quirky but incisive commentary. Some of those matches .. wow intense as F.

It seems every weekend these new episodes do the rounds among the WvW-focused guilds (from orthordox ppt based to open field n gvg based n all those in between) .. I hope it will only grow and grow.

Seems like Devon is hovering around .. so am bumping for his eyes and any other devs. Please consider.

Is there any other item that can be bought by a vendor in GW2 at price x, and then sold at a price lower than x?

They should either set a vendor price, e.g. For Omegas 3g, so the price stays b/w 5g-3g – and increase the cost of building Omegas to 500-800 supply.

I don’t think the current WvW Structure (i.e. Fortified Walls / Reinforced Gates) were built for consistent 6-10 Omega golem rushes. I can understand why people are doing it, it’s effective and efficient .. but it’s getting boring, fast.

Awesome idea – WVW team please please PLEASE take a look!

(p.s. also fix the skill lag! ty!)

Since the latest small patch (~30-50mb?), I just can’t play GW2 – the lag is horrendous, and then eventually I d/c back to the character select screen with that error code.

(I only WvW):
At first I would only get it on the North West side of Borderland maps (NW tower to North Camp), then it spread to the whole West side, and now it’s on any WvW map.

The other threads regarding this same error code are weeks/months old, so hence this new one – PLEASE, any info on a fix / what’s causing this?

The game is unplayable for me at the moment.

edit:
Also this is the first time this has happened since launch. It’s not my internet d/cing as I stay connected on VOIP, and it’s not the regular skill lag I’m accustomed to in SMC in EBG.

Spot on.

ANET, when please?

Congratulations!!

Been watching your RG video’s multiple times, think I’m addicted. Somewhat sad you guys are moving on .. in all corners of GW2 WvW RG was known as something to aspire to.

All the best where ever you guys go!

Bump.

Hacks, please. Hacks are for weaklings. Thus is how we do it on TC! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN_at9fJ1XQ

The last 2 seconds of that clip, ROFL!!

It wasn’t windowed mode or multiple monitors – also I was not the ranger in question, the ranger you are referring to is probably the best on TC WvW.

edit:
or any resolution related thingies, I like the conspiracy theories though.

Anyway in the future, when in doubt – report! Posting on the forums will only get you infracted.

I was at NE tower earlier – I can assure you the said ranger you’re referring to was not hacking. Maybe if you ask nicely they’ll share with you how to do it

Also, that was me who cleared your ac’s behind the gate and on the wall, ty!

It’s the little things like this that irk the community. Hope you address the concerns here ANET.

Could NNK / TFV / rE – clarify their position regarding the SAB zoom out glitch? Everytime there’s a Lord Room battle going on, we end up being at the end of the SAB zoom out glitch.

There’s an intense rivalry built up over months between TC and FA, and a lot of strong emotions between the two servers, but honestly, at least FA doesn’t repeatedly resort to these shenanigans.

I’m kittening tired of this trash talk about kittening SAB glitch
Fine! we gonna share this and make sure you learn it too
you just need to build at the right place
no kittening SAB glitch or whatever is needed

I thing they never find this, and they’re used to hide in the caves.

Why are you telling them. haha.

I don’t see it

To those who responded nicely, thank you.

Happy Labour Day all!

edit: again, I have more ss with different angles, if any guild leaders would like to clarify. Cheers.

Puddin Cheeks.8539:

I haven’t posted yet in this weeks matchup, but here is another “Cross-Eyed Norn” Score Update.

Great fighting all around.

Awesome picture!

Why would I be trash talking or bringing it up for no reason? If you could show the AC target (green circle) being able to hit those ballista’s in the back of the LR and AC’s on the sides of the LR, then I will gladly admit I am mistaken. Would not you be equally unhappy if you were, like me, ignorant of a legitimate way to take out LR siege all the way at the back? Hope you understand.

edit: Looking forward to your clarification.

Unfortunately my initial post was deleted and infracted. However I have screenshots of the AC’s that were up (much further back from the location you showed in your SS, that you claim is legitimate, but did not show the target green AOE anyhow).

If any of the guild Officers/Commanders/Leaders would like to step up and engage with me on this issue, and would like me to share them with you, do feel free to PM me.

Other have mentioned it, but please DEVS, fix the SAB zoom out glitch / other ways people are doing this to achieve insane line of sight on their ACs.

Although we had a defense that lasted hours in a T3 Hills in an enemy BL, it was this glitch that finally turned the tide for the opponent.

FIX IT, please!

I want to thank [TG] and [NNK], as well as [VK] and [RET] for making for probably the best reset we have had in the last 7 weeks. However this turns out, thanks for staying and fighting tonight!

Likewise, need to start theory crafting on how to break 100 man zergs with out stacking numbers :P Good fights though, were very interesting, definitely a learning process.

Reset night fights are the most evenly matched in terms of numbers.

If you are capping/defending objectives, or stomping/wiping at open field – it has to do with factors apart from numbers.

Yesterday, as a send off gift, Deyja and our zerg of ~30 after capping FABL Bay, all knelt at the East Inner entrance in two rows on either side of the gate, but unfortunately [MEOW] + others did not accept.

We did however form a straight line and RP walk into FABL KN spawn, hope the 60 WXP those KN that managed to tag us got was warmly received.

BG/KN/TC .. good times, our SEA had to be creative and hone our defense against the large numbers. All the best in T3!

I totally agree with suggestion 2. It would also make WPs worth their status as a T3 Structural upgrade, since you’d need to build siege to contest it.

Although I play from SEA, this is great news.

Thank you Devon and team for working on this!

Terra Dactyl.2047:

I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure you just got boatloads of coverage for the timezone(s) where we still have a pretty big gap. Don’t think “giving up” has anything to do with it. Dat PvDoor.

No ones transferred just yet.

Maybe not ‘giving up’ then, just taking a break? Oh no no I get it, haha .. FA is teaching TC how to live a balanced lifestyle. Thank you FA! Forever indebted

xxxzavulonxxx.8413:

It’s not a vibe. I still do not understand how rolling up into one gigantic zergball on a bl or EB is efficient. Especially when sometimes those zergballs do get wiped.. Just seems something akin to industrial waste.

And I’m not really trying to be forum warriory. One of my fellow Maggies who is now on FA saw this and thought the same thing as me.

How would you recommend we use our manpower differently so we may extend our lead?

Appreciate any and all input!

Can we add a Q to some PVE areas, and use the resources that would have otherwise been spent on overflow servers to reduce skill lag in WvW?

Getting major 5-10 second skill lag, and the game is randomly booting out players from WvW.

What’s up .. are GW2 WvW servers at 100% and burning out?

If the culling patch is gonna exacerbate this please don’t release it till you get more hardware.

edit:
and Party’s are bugging out too.

Hope all this is temporary, although players have been increasingly complaining of similar experiences over the past few days.

The timeline of your post is about the same time that maintenance was happening last night, thats probably why.

Except it’s still there

Especially on TCBL in my server’s matchup.

Skill / animation lag and buggy party’s and disappearing Commander icons (not culling / unseen on minimap too).

I am not from your server but just wanted to suggest you have it someplace else other than LA to avoid overflow’s, like one of the racial cities.

Other than that, all the best!

My only concern is that this is going to encourage WvW’ers to have a WvW Main – not sure if ANET has considered how they are going to encourage folks to keep playing all their different professions ..

OutspokenAardvark.9781:

If you don’t know who [DIS] is you must not play during NA.

Word.

VerdantSF.1507:

I’m on Blackgate, but I have to give props to TC. It has a remarkably low troll/forum warrior population and the guilds there are really good sports, win or lose. The server would make a great destination for any non-NA guilds looking for a home.

Thanks for the kind words, always means so much more coming from our opponents.

aIJay.8125:

At FOTM38 we just have the 2 squishiest party members die on the button. The remaining 3 run in 2 kite the mobs out while the last one works the panel. Pretty easy really.

Yes this works (speaking of fotm 28-30) for me, it gets messy sometimes but is very doable. It’s the next stage that my party usually finds a little tricky tbh (bombing the door / using the gun).

So very many new faces on TC this week, it’s great to see we actually have that latent coverage hanging in the back. To those of you giving WvW a shot this week/finishing up map completion etc. – do stick around! It can get incredibly fun when stacked evenly/against the odds (at least for me, from SEA timezone pov).

Hope to see you fellow Toasters for some time to come!

Oceangrave.9657:

So if your a mesmer, and your in a keep thats being taken over. You can no longer portal them inside to re-take without taking down the gates? or am i kitten

You still can.

What you can’t do anymore is drop your portal on the inside of the gate so that it ‘leaks’ outside and portal people in

Jon just wanted to thank you for all the clarifications and work you guys are putting into Mesmer (my new main now after retiring my Ranger bout 5 weeks ago despite it having a Legendary, reasons for which I’m sure you are well aware balance wise).

Retired my Ranger for a Mesmer in WvW bout 5 weeks ago, haven’t looked back. Although I do regret getting my Legendary on me Ranger though.

pot.6805:

Can TC please inform us how you just took a t3 bay in BG BL? The inners were never down yet you somehow get a mesmer to port ppl into inner. And then KN caps it less then 5 minutes later? A fully sieged up T3 bay gone with no inner breaches.

As Sam said, patience.

ryan.3915:

Hey Haydenstar, sorry to hear that Val is looking for a new home. Val’s presence has always been comforting on WvW – because I knew that things would get done with you guys on. I have also had fun supporting you guys whenever I could. Thanks for continuing to fight even when we were severely outmanned and our guilds kept on fighting. With help from Val, CD is where it is now.

I would really prefer if Val didn’t leave. But if your heart is set on leaving, TC should be a good choice. I’d rather you join them than some server full of trolls. You and your guildmates deserve the best and I hope to see TC become Garnished Dessert!

Blaine Warbler, thank you very much for the kind words man (fellow SGean here). I’ve had to explain to our server many times what EDMW stands for

Hi Haydenstar (Singaporean here), I’m based on Tarnished Coast (you can check one of our recruitment threads specifically for Euro/Oceanic/SEA here : https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/guilds/Tarnished-Coast-looking-for-a-few-more-for-our-late-night-crew/first or our Community website, tcgw2.com).

To address your points:
- We have a Community Forum to facilitate discussions on WvW/PVE/RP etc. Also DIS on our server has sponsored a 10,000 slot TC Public Mumble for the server to use; each guild can create it’s own private channels etc. with its own admin rights (very easy to link guild channels to WvW channels etc.)

- Presently our Oceanic presence is a timezone we do need guilds, hence you won’t face Q’s for e.g., however if a guild of your size was to transfer, you will be able to make a huge impact and make a name for yourself.

We have recently got [FIST] from IoJ which is Oceanic based, and [KH] from CD that is NA PST. Before that it has been a combination of some of our major WvW guilds (about 4), small WvW guilds, pugs (known as militia on TC), that have worked hand in hand to work our way into Tier 2.

-Tarnished Coast is the unofficial RP server, therefore our community is generally made up of more mature players. There is no drama on this server / no leadership struggles / no disagreements I can think of. (if you recently transferred to TC I hope you can help corroborate this point in your short experience with us so far)

- Blackout’s have been organized and followed (as seen on this thread: http://tcgw2.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=323&p=1). One thing to note is that all servers are currently VERY HIGH (not full) due to we believe server caps being increased. Hence it would be an ideal time to transfer to TC.

- TC is mostly made up of NA based international guilds, however we do have a SEA guild (like SchuMidas posted above, Pro Baddies is Indonesian but has Malaysians and Singaporeans). There is about 15 Singaporeans that I play with regularly during our SEA primetime/late night. We’ve even been teaching some of our non-SG friends some Singlish

If you would like to party in-game / chat over Mumble (with a few of our server’s WvW guild rep’s) etc. do clarify any questions or concerns you may have please feel free to contact me (or Theongreyjoy aka Lanimal.6541) or post on tcgw2.com

I also sent you an in-game mail

Hi Haydenstar – I sent you an in-game mail!

TC is open at the moment for transfer (i.e. NOT FULL). Do join us

If you have questions, do check us out on tcgw2.com

A thread elaborating on our server and why you should come :
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/guilds/TC-LF-Oceanic-EU-Off-peak-Guilds-Players/first#post1257744

TC is open for transfer now – usually it’s FULL except for very rare instances, so do transfer while you can

As a few others here, I’m using the Lenovo Y580 when I play on a laptop – you can play up to max settings with decent FPS (even in WvW).

Usually I play on medium settings though, and have been having no problems so far.

/rolls a Necro for the event!

Amos.8760:

This is a photo of my wife and I hanging around in LA.

Oh yeah – my wife is not a gamer…

Lmao

Aww

Do consider a move to Tarnished Coast (we are organizing server blackouts to help with guild transfers) – details on www.tcgw2.com

Also at the hour you play we could really use the coverage, and you would be recognized for your contribution.

It’s alright then Gaile, someone should give you a medal for always engaging with us on this forum – it certainly helps from a customer POV.

Whether this happens again or not, thank you for your help.

I’m not sure Gaile – I was playing this latest time when I got booted out of game and accused of being involved in gold selling/RTM etc. Since Saturday when I got unbanned I have only sent two gold to someone – I’m not sure if my account is flagged somehow.

I do have email authentication activated for log in attempts (only trusted source is my p/w secured wifi at home and at another house, I also just reset my modem and pw).

I have made a new password now that is long as hell.

But I suspect my account is flagged as I have not had any messages to authorize log in attempts except from me (eg logging into forum on my phone 3G).

I would appreciate any advice you can offer to prevent this from happening.

Welcome to the Coast [FIST]!

As you can see from the blackout thread above, Toasters are trying to make a move to TC as logistically easy as possible. Do get in touch if you have any questions at all.

Welcome to the coast [FIST]!

Looking forward to working with you :)
