Guild Wars 2

I want to get the shoulder without resorting too much to the TP, but I ask, what am I proving by doing the same JP over and over and OVER AND OVER AND OVER?

There is nothing fun about this, the requirement is so high you actively have to discourage yourself from doing more interesting things to keep the progress going. If you want to remove money from the game, please for the love of Balthazar, just flat out stuff a 50g token on an NPC and make us lump it, not do this and rely on the TP tax. So we can, you know, get back to PLAYING the game.

Even with the tree, 10k is WAY too much, 5k would have been far more reasonable.

How can we get drinks throughout the year?

Come on Anet, 5k is a nice compromise.

This is an utter piece of nonsense…and it’s made worse by the worry to get drinks for the shoulder.

And by rage I mean in game rage at team mates

Does anyone else feel like the new league system and clear consequences on the line for loss cause you want to rage at team mates when they do clearly idiotic things despite you trying to tell them otherwise?

Things like, running off of points before they finishing capping…ignoring tranquility on ToTS and the like?

Sometimes I just feel like I should sit on my hands…thanks to a pip being on the line.

Can we stop now?

Sure. As soon as a real balance patch occurs. Not this kitten poor attempt to look like they are trying.

Someone didn’t watch today.

Those “balance changes” that were announced today won’t change anything. You’re delusional if you think that those will make any difference.

Ok clearly you are out of the loop, they did that whole two people just standing together on a point not bothering to fight each other saying “Can we stop now?” since they are literally unable to kill one another.

i’ve tried asking nicely

i’ve tried raging berserker mode

but so far nothing’s been done about this

premade vs solo is just painful

come on devs, help your players out

>Trash talking when you are clearly MM manipulating with your full premade against a solo team.

Morons.

That is DEFINITELY Wrong….

You won but someone on the enemy team left.

Still happening today

kahzee.6042:

lol having luck is “earning” it?

More like, actually PvPing.

Also, there is an edit feature.

Soloers with high MMR will usually be used to offset a team of complete pillocks and with bad company, well, you know why Spartans in a Phlanax Formation cannot have even one bad arm in their wall.

It’s a PvP legendary, one that can only be gained through PvP.

It should stay that way, you want it? EARN it.

In the UK here, having lag spikes every 2 minutes or so lasting 5-8 seconds, anyone else having this?

It’s causing major issues against Raid Bosses…

I hope they come soon…

Solo quers are going to be crops for these teams indeed, hell, it’s happening in the CURRENT system!

I’m sure the people waiting on dwayna’s to fail so it can reset would agree with you.

Just an update, it is still consistantly occuring once the Trial being turned into the rabbit is started.

This is one of my major worries when I saw the setup of the new maps in regards to mapwide meta events…

People will move on past them once they have their stuff. Anet need to dump some kind of reward that will KEEP people coming back..

Repeated Network Errors trying to finish this PS mission…I’m on the 64-bit client too.

Upon arrival at Shadow Behemoth, the meta event or the active event for that area didn’t show up, unable to tell progress to spawn him.

Same with the Golem Mk 3 world boss, didn’t show on the client.

You realize that enabling all classes to fulfill every role is one of the main concepts of this game? Classes may approach certain roles in a different way, but you should be able to play the way you want on any class when you spec for it.

This is true, it’s why there are no dedicated healer classes and everyone has their own survival/healing skill. All classes can bring a degree of power, support and control to the team. The classes are just different ways of doing it.

I’ve made the Bat Wing, however the second part requires

The Bat Wing, Glacial Lode STones, A Linseed Oil and a mystery item…

Anyone had luck?

I got the items for warhorn/torch/hammer in my bank, yet I cannot unlock them for wardrobe or collection use.

I try clicking “Item collection Achievement” too on it and it just takes me to the collection but doesn’t light it up…

Out now, I went for a shower and it fixed.

Upon finishing a match, my engie and some teammates are stuck in spvp, cannot quit out via the icon, cannot relog and exit….HELP!

People are just getting lazy again and tagging the event after everyone else does the drudge work.

See if you can spot the megalaser faithful, the people that stand at megalazer during the first 25% and run to Teq’s landing point for the burn phases.

Block/Report

This will deal with it.

Rangers have had a big stigma in GW1 thanks to thumpers and the infamous Touch Rangers…don’t know why here.

Heavy Clutter from Minionmancers or Mesmers is an absolute chore to wade through with a mouse especially when ALL OF THEM ARE MOVING, and in the heat of a fight it is only further to their advantage that you need to cycle with your keys to find them again.

It isn’t an entirely invalid point.

Running away from a point close to base while it is white – Disadvantage

I’ve had people do this in the last two games, when I shouted in the chat to indicate to the player was making the mistake, I was met with “kittening rager” and threatened with a report.

Didn’t go down too well after chat. I’m happy enough if people accept their mistakes and move on…

I try hard not to let myself resort to nameflinging and don’t generally do it, at most I just retort with their mistakes again, some people just let their egos run wild and…..meh.

I worry sometimes about myself

Unfortunately the only way to get that many stacks is to run to an event, tag a few mobs, then just leave.

Truely the biggest mistake of this event was ALLOWING that.

That is outright lying though. I got 26 stacks while still completing all the events that I found.

Running together with the whole map as a massive blob however, is not a good idea, since the events scales and thus takes longer.

I WP’d around to all close events I could completing them and have only come out with 16 stacks at most.

Dunno what you are doing.

LaFleur.9374:

Since all these personal stacks are doing is encouraging very selfish play by hopping between events and only tagging a few mobs could you lower the number of stacks required to be eligible for the max rewards?

Such as:
• 0-3 stacks = 0 blooms
• 4-5 stacks = 5 blooms
• 6-7 stacks = 10 blooms
• 8-9 stacks = 15 blooms
• 10+ stacks = 20 blooms

Would discourage people hopping between events as much. A better solution would be to make the stacks a map-wide counter and personal stacks would only make you eligible for the reward.

As it is this is teaching the new players a very horrible way to play the game and isn’t promoting group and team play at all.

Even that wouldn’t help, people are happily announcing they are AFKing once they hit 20 stacks 15 minutes into the event.

Unfortunately the only way to get that many stacks is to run to an event, tag a few mobs, then just leave.

Truely the biggest mistake of this event was ALLOWING that.

I said it before, burning needs to give diminished returns on higher burnstacks.

There may be some tweaking required to ensure the first burn in the stack is not holding back the others, but it could be a step in the right direction.

1) Kill an enemy when they have interacted with a point that is controlled by you, or just “tag” an enemy when they are killed. The point must be fully under your control, if it goes neutral before the enemy dies, no dice.

2) Watch for team fights around points and use skills to keep enemies out till it comes under your control (sometimes the enemy will get too distracted with your team). When it switches to you, kill an enemy as fast as you can.

Burning is indeed fairly bad right now, eles especially being able to do crazy burn stacks with little effort.

Lower the base damage or make higher burnstacks have diminishing returns.

They even strangely can get into ranked pvp…

Maybe not one that you hear often, but one sound in GW2 has left me with more seething rage than any other….

“Let’s take a moment to appreciate this blend’s bold undertones”

I think there is a command switch that allows this. Don’t know if it still works.

The fact the only queue for pvp can you put as a solo with other solos against a full arranged guild team.

The utter WORST decision made by anet was implementing that tbh.

Utter Garbage.

Loads of my matches are turning into solos against a team of full arranged guild teams. I still don’t see why they cannot just make 2 queues for this and actually return some form of legitimacy into what is effectively a queue of Russian roulette.

Also, BETA CLASSES IN RANKED MODE? See that legitimacy comment? Why on earth do Anet want to go the esport route when they cannot get that down.

People generally are nice around the community but this game, like all other mmos, has it’s “ultra militarisitic speed run” lot that will scream at you for not doing “Muh meta” or whatever they want.

Generally you’ll find people eventually that are quite nice and forgiving of mistakes, some even take time to teach you builds to help effectiveness and future party experiences.

One group taught me the Phalanx Strength build for warrior being very patient and I warmly thanked them after. You DO get them, just accept there are some morons out there too.

There seems to be a big problem in this boss in that people insist in trying to melee teq down and keep dying as they cannot keep themselves alive doing it.

Only when I land in these maps with this mindset has it failed so far, ranged maps succeed.

You do reliase that anet will be making adjustments as they gather data from player usage?

They don’t have the means of an extreme test that all the players of the game can put out together, maybe a small testing team but it takes letting some things go live and adjusting to get a proper picture.

Reminder people that points don’t cap any faster with multiple people on it, especially without enemies nearby?

I’m about ready to have an anurysm from people doing this….

Sarevok.2638:

An open world boss event shouldn’t need tons of jumping, taxing and basically manipulating the megaserver system just to have a CHANCE, we already have that with Triple Trouble and quite a large number of people skip that boss because of the large ammount of organisation effort required INCLUDING said manipulation of the system, for not enough chance of good loot.

What is the problem with having 1 or 2 bosses made specifically for the Hard cord crowd?Are the casuals so selfish?90% of the game is made exactly for them.

What do the words “open world boss” mean to you?

There was a heavy implication that this kind of stuff could be altered to suit organised groups without the screwing around needed to get everyone in one map.
