Guild Wars 2

People will make their name a random pve player’s name to get around this.

So I went back to traps and used mostly this setup, which preformed excellent. I made a couple changes though which are more personal preference based.

1) S/D A/T, I don’t like the other way to arrange them.
2) I brought Protection when dmg >10% trait instead of 7% Vit → Power.

Servers don’t matter at all for pvp. Good players are scattered all over, just check the leadeboards and the servers for those players.

Ranger:

1) MM necro
2) Bugged chaos storm mesmers
3) Other necros

The SessionID is included in most of the API requests you send. How I went about it was by using fiddler and copying the format of the requests sent by the game.

Go into the game with fiddler running and open something like “my buy orders.” The youcan minimize the game and look at the request that the game sent to the TP website. From there you simply have to copy the headers and values in your program’s html request.

Here is an example function from python that returns a list of your over cut WTBs. You can see where I pass the SessionID to the TPAPI.

import urllib
import urllib2
import json

def TPMyBuys(SessionID,count):
values = {"time" : “now”,“type” : “buy”,“charid” : "",“offset” : “1”,“count” : count}
data = urllib.urlencode(values)
req = urllib2.Request(“%s” %data)
req.add_header(“Accept” , “/”)
req.add_header(“Accept-Charset” , “iso-8859-1,*,utf-8”)
req.add_header( “Accept-Encoding” , “gzip;q=0”)
req.add_header(“Accept-Language” , “en”)
req.add_header(“Cookie” , SessionID) #<—————-
req.add_header( “User-Agent” , “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1003.1 Safari/535.19 Awesomium/1.7.1”)
req.add_header(“Connection” , “keep-alive”)
req.add_header(“Host” , “tradingpost-live.ncplatform.net”)
req.add_header(“Referer” ,“https://tradingpost-live.ncplatform.net/me”)
req.add_header( “X-Requested-With” , “XMLHttpRequest”)
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
parsed_json = json.loads(response.read())
return parsed_json

def TPMyBuysCheck(SessionID):
list = []
OBJ = TPMyBuys(SessionID,0)
OBJ = TPMyBuys(SessionID,str(OBJ[u’total’]))
for Item in OBJ[u’listings’]:
if int(Item[u’buy_price’]) > int(Item[u’unit_price’]):
list.append([str(Item[u’listing_id’]),str(Item[u’data_id’])])
return list

Play mm necro and faceroll.

What is the reasoning behind the vitality → power trait?

I’d think that more protection or sharpened edges would prove stronger than some extra power.

What is the justification for the massacre of the shortbow?

Most of these changes seem to be marginal changes to useless traits. They still will be useless even with the random changes. I’d like something that clearly intends to bring back or create a new style of build.

For instance these changes won’t make trapper viable. None of the mandatory traits 0-30-30-0-0 are changed. Empatic bond, both trap traits and bleed on crit are exactly the same. The only possible changes are hide in plain sight (worse for point holding) and a couple of traits that aren’t going to be brought over shared anguish.

I thought it was going to be “content.”

I’d suggest just threading the requests like steelskin said.

I have an NA and EU account for pvp and I experience far more lag playing EU than NA.

This is amazing data. Thanks for doing this!

The gpu prob bottlenecked you. An i5 is fine for gw2 at a decent clock.

Development time should be spent on more important things.

I would take a “such champion ranger” title.

Would annoy enough people to be worth it.

I’d bring:

1) Guardian hybrid dps support.
2) Power/Condi necro
3) Power/Condi engie
4) Shatter mesmer
5) Stunlock Warrior.

I’m thinking of the “perfect 5v5 teamfight.” Not anti zerg.

Mesmer and necro can clear boons for stunlock, which allows mesmer/necro/engie to burrst down the enemy and provide cleave dmg. Guardian supports team with boons and added dps.

Ranger is too squishy with spirits. Thief is too squishy for a teamfight.

Longbow greatsword.

Try pvt if zerker’s won’t work.

Just solo queue. You won’t become the best unless you play against them.

Just go solo queue 100% tryhard and keep at it.

Just remove everything but sigil of energy and adventure runes then.

It is intended.

To few players.

Favorite formats dead (FA JQ).

Aged mechanics and graphics. (No jump, no moving casts)

I want cantha.

I don’t wan’t the next expansion to be a giant desert like the Sahara.
Give me the city, the island, the jade sea, and the forest.

Torinn.5210:

I have been playing for about 6 months now (but not religiously) and I only have about 23 gold. Considering that the game has been out only a bit over twice that time, I was shocked to find out that some people have thousands of gold. Now, I only have 1 level 80, but I still think that I must be playing in the cheapest way possible. Is there something that other players are doing that I’m not? What am I doing wrong? I’d like to avoid having to farm, because that takes the fun out of the game for me, but I’d appreciate any help.

The people with thousands of gold are playing the tp and reinvesting for the most part.

If I can get 20% return on 1000g I’ll make far more money than a guy will make through any ingame method that isn’t tp. Just find a method that scales up with gold owned and you can compound your investments.

Keira Ferland.5619:

You would lose, obviously.

I agree.

This would be nice.

1600g peak.

Right now I have 450g. I only make money from the TP, typically 15-20% of my initial investment per day.

This is the wrong forum. Try the support ones.

I’ll repeat that a simple solution for low mmr low rank would be to start players at a different mmr on their first match based upon their rank.

Say:
R1-9 750 mmr
R10-19 1000 mmr
R20-29 1250 mmr
R30+ 1500 mmr

This way skilled players who have low rank can still play.

Two worthless suggessions.

1) Make the game even less social than it is. (How do players become friends?). People derive pride from winning or even losing to good players.
2) My EU alt is r10 and is at the mmr of r40-r50 players. Explain to me again how rank = skill.

The other two are decent.

All can be countered.

I’d say the top are.

Phantasm mesmer.
Condi warrior.
Minionmancer.

Ranger is weaker than these without elite. With elite, they are on par but moderately weaker to shaman condi warrior.

Doesn’t stuff like fraps and msi afterburner do thus?

I’m not all familiar with video capture so forgive me if I am unaware of something important.

I thought it meant a trading post addon.

The gw1 argos soft was the best.

Even 200 bank slots can only hold 50,000 silk. It takes a lot more than one guy to break down the 7c wall.

Blame the patch note manipulators who read “ascended” log in and buy 30 stacks of silk to make a quick buck.

Side note – people good enough to manipulate the market and have the assets to do so are rich enough to not care at all about the price of crafting materials. When I was heavy into the TP I made enough money that I didn’t have a use for it. I’d spend 80g and stick 2 mighty infusions (5 pow +5ar) and not even notice the financial hit. I’d make 80g in a day when I’m playing with 1000g on the TP.

An interesting idea that comes with a few problems.

1) Tools aren’t developed for this.
2) The player effort would be huge.
3) The one winner would discourage participation. (I’m less likely to win, I won’t play. )

Create your roster for team queue, submit it once the two of you are ready.

You will get a combo of 3 queue, 2 queue, and 1 queue’ers who also are in team queue.

You will have long queue times though.

What is with the thread necro. This needs to stop.

Why the thread necro? Search doesn’t even work too!

Soon. (Courtesy anet)

I suggest for WvW / PvE only. Increse the player cap from 5 → 10 (15).

This way a spirit ranger can provide substantive group support before they inevitably die the moment the fight starts.

This way groups will make use of 1-3 spirit rangers in wvw comps to make use of the good buffs.

Spirit heal is bad. It has no condi removal. Inform youself before you judge these things.

Water spirit is good to address ranger viability in dungeons. Not so much in pvp.

Now we provide enough support to warrant 1 ranger on a team. (Spotter, frost, heal)

Why do people expect to be taken seriously when they speak nothing but hyperbole?

You kill a spirit ranger by watching his empatic bond. Once it ticks, you apply burn and bleed, and he dies.

Shortbow is somewhat limited with this, because you can’t exactly burst condis with it. Axe/torch/sword/dagger will remain more potent than shortbow for that reason in the hands of a player who is skilled at killing spirit rangers.

Shortbow is somewhat better in teamfights though. If you wanted to make shortbow work vs spirit rangers you would probably want some form of 2nd set condi burst. Take geomancy sigils and s/d or s/t. That way you get 6 stacks of bleed and poison on swap.

Or you can just autopilot, whatever works for you.

Uhhhh, bm/ spirit ranger hybrid > spirit ranger.

Spec 10-0-30-0-30. Sword dagger axe torch. Healspring, sun spirit, sotw, SoR.

35% chance is enough.

You should congratulate your ally for capping a free point.

ANY time a point is emptg someone should assault it. This is why thief is good, because they have the capability to decap before the node’s defender returns.

If you let me leave home point, I will come to mid and spirit res, give perma burn from sun spirit, and shortbow everyone there with stupid bleed stacks. Or you could send the weakest midfight player to far, so he can remove the strong team support I give frofrom the fight.

Bring a stunbreak. (Or dodge roll)

Also that build mandates 30 crit dmg and 300 precision, so don’t expect any sustain from your opponent.

The Game Slayer.7632:

Ryan.9387:

Not on ranger skull fear though. I heard necro caps for some reason. The skull dear doesn’t.

Clarity – 100%
Traits – 30%
Rune – 20%
Sigil? – 15%
Giver weapon – 10%
Food – 40% – 10%
165% (205%)
3s – > 8s -> 9s

Test it. I wouldn’t lie to you.

you are lying lol. math is good, but in game restrictions are another thing. max +condi duration for anything is 100%.

Again, test it.

Empatic bond. If the ranger doesn’t have it, the match essentially become 5v4.5

Oddly enough points encourage fighting. Otherwise people won’t engage until they gey some advantage. (Terrain etc).

If 50 points per kill, I get a mesmer to portal a 5 man zerg around and cap empty points while 5vX any guy who tries to stop us.
