Guild Wars 2

I would like to know too

I got the energizer the other day. Someone was offering 140g i think for one, or i could match the lowest seller at 190. But i looked over the sellers and saw a gap between the next seller at 192, then he third seller at 198. So i put mine for 194 two days later, it sold.

Next thread should be ‘db/yaks/mag w/FA commentary’

sdsakuragi.8170:

DB is the all-American server. When it can’t be done domestically, OUTSOURCE! XD

Although replying to it late, you sir, have won the thread.

4 people do not identify a community.

This is why at the website, i ignore the posts that say ‘ping gear’. It already sends bad signals.

Game over.

I love super adventure box. It really is amazing and fun. Its like a piece of delicious cake that you rarely get to eat, but you eagerly look forward to it every year.

Now suddenly, you get that cake every day, every year. That uniqueness goes away, the cake starts to get stale, and quite frankly you may give up on the cake for something like pie, then cookies, then etc. Sure, the cake is still there, but after eaten it for so long, thinking about it makes you cringe.

In short, to keep sab fresh and unique, keep it to just one month a year.
No if you excuse me, im gonna go eat some cookie cake pies…

Edit: kitten fort.
Trust me, the mob density is fine. If you think this is bad, then you would loathe this place more back in the early days (i got around by being pulled in different directions).

Orr is suppose to be sad, dreary, barren, hopeless. It sunk into the ocean by human folly, only to be raised and corrupted by the dragon of death, who makes it his home. So of course its going to be all undead, and denser mobs.

I guess my only request would be other undead models, but that fails since orr was an all human place.

Lafiel.9372:

People who invested more time are naturally rewarded with more points? I don’t get your point. Do you want a just fresh started player being able to beat a long time veteran player who has been playing since release? There are many achievements out there which gives points much more than daily which is a maximum of 10 points per day (rarely anyone does all 10 I believe)

Yeah….i dont think that argument works. Example:
Player a has been playing since launch, has only done 10 achievements.

Player b has played for just a month, has done 20 achievements.

Thus, player b appears higher on the board. Daily and monthly points remain so there is movement in the lineup, thats all.

Ohhhhhh it’s time for the super secret alliance.

wait who are we teaming up with??…….I pick maguuma. Btw welcome to the tier

Why did the sudden seen of indiana jones and the last crusade pop into my mind, where tbe kitten guy chooses the wrong cup…

It has just come to my attention that yaksbend has formed and unionized all dolyaks to be under their control. If you do not submit yourselves to yaks, they will stop your transfers of supply to keeps.

Aw man, who let the kitten out of the bag on yaks and DB’s super special awesome extra buddy buddy alliance? Well, time to call it off.

Also, to make everyone hate me. I dont even use abyss anyone. Its only on one set up my armor, sitting in the bank, gathering dust.

Also, probably stay away from the super adventure box at first. Dont need to get addicted to that right away.

Dont rush, dont get annoyed at first, and if you get lost or confused in the beginning, its ok. I was too when i first started. The leveling experience is different than other mmos.

Other hints, buy the copper tools (sickle, pick, and axe) for gathering. Gather everything. Dont pass up any events that go on.

If you choose charr, definately go to diessa plateau and towards meatoberfest. Bunch of events always happening.

Which ever cloth class you pick, dont always think you need to stay with the same weapons, alternate, find the style you like, same with traits and skills.

Yes and no for gold. No, its not that important as you can get the best armor with karma or crafting. Yes, it is important if you want to change your looks.

Finally, becareful. There’s something in the water…

Come on SoS, you can pull through. Remember that snipe you had in stone mists while yaks fought against db to hold them off? Well played move…

Geesh, people hate orr now, imagin what they would be saying 6 months ago…

I saved up my gold at start and bought an abyss dye for 6 gold. Yay me.

Also, i got one from a random drop, and one each time during two plays of the dye game, earning a profit. Gotta love rng.

I always feel these posts are like the WoW posts saying BC was the best pvp and arenas. And yet no one seems to remember all the whing about 2v2 with resto druid / x class (warrior), or mage/rogue.

But its human nature to just remember the good times so we feel betwhen arenas in wow had no time limit, and i kept the match going for about an hour with my resto druid….so stupid.

Anyone who complains about old 8 bit games never played battletoads.

btw anet, where can i get a Rytlock costume for holloween?

In response to the super adventure box

From yaksbend, I give you some of our classy yaks!

Just my few cents, and probably some flames.

*Increase base guard health, dmg, and armor. IMO only, a camp shouldn’t be taken just by one person, even a fully upgraded camp can easily be pounded by one. I would think at least 3+. Most of the times, camps arent fully upgraded anymore, just the increase supplies, and then let it be.

*I agree that people who build and upgrade (especially upgrade), should receive wxp. I would go with what was said, every 2 supply used, gain 1-2 wxp. For upgrading, the higher the cost, the more wxp you get.

*With the dolyaks themselves, anet has to be careful with rewarding them again. Remember, in the beginning bots were tagging along with them to just gain the xp to level, taking up space in the BG. Maybe if the dolyak is attacked and defended, then you would be rewarded wxp for a success or failure. If nothing happens, then no reward.

*The Skritt and centaur camps. While they are basically ignored, why not give them a purpose different than mercenaries? For example: Take the centaurs, dolyaks move faster. Take the Skritt, dolyaks have more supplies. Or make them affect keeps, or something.

*For the orbs, I am surprised this hasn’t been implemented already.
Orbs: give +20%(adjust to whatever) increase to wxp, xp, karma
Outmanned: Increase health by X%, no armor repairs, +5 supply carry. (adjust or change whatever).
Thus, orbs are just a bonus that really doesn’t effect play, and outmanned gives the people a chance. And yes, alter can’t be attacked till lord is dead.

*Maybe add some titles to how you are spec’d using the wvw bonuses. Example: If you have seige dmg, ballista dmg, and cannon dmg maxed out, you get the seigemaster title.

*For some future abilities for wvw to put points in:
Seigebuilder: for ever rank, reduce the cost a seigeplan requires by 2 (i believe there are 5 ranks? so just minus 10 supplies.)

Repairman: When repairing walls and gates, increase amount repaired by 1-5%.

*percentages for walls and gates.

thats all i have for now, I’ll add anything else if I think of it.

…. new match, new thread, old topic. Leave Tsym to their own devices, and enjoy the game folks.

Just for fun, let’s end all posts on this thread with “just for fun”.

YB – try to win this week., just for fun!

That won’t be necessary, at least Yak’s Bend is taking it easy this week, we’ll just stick to 2nd place probably, so let the “fun” and the good battles flow in!.

Also it would be a massive burn out to try to win the tier without SEA coverage, when we get some in the future, we can make a try.

Yeah, last week i threw bout three forths my money into wvw either upgrading or on seige, might need to run some more cof for a bit.

Geotherma.2395:

1. The bounty training is for.. Training.
2. It rewards 3,000 influence for small guilds who may have trouble unlocking regular ones.
3. They are meant to help you obtain the regular bounty missions over time as was the complaint of small guilds “we don’t make enough influence”.
4. Almost every guild I’ve seen has offered help to small guilds to complete bounties if they ASK.

If i am ever ikittenone and I see a bounty person, I call it out in map chat with the closest waypoint. If I see a guild fighting a bounty I (and sometimes my other guildies) will hop in to help

Yeah yeah, WoW mindset. Hunter, Ranger, Tomato, Tomato(e). Both use bows, both have pets, just one game’s pets are in the special needs classes….

Technically, I am ‘paying’ a monthly fee. If I have the spare cash on my paypal, and I like the patch, I spend 10 bucks on gems. If anything else, other than the forums, this gives me at least the feeling of sending word to them on how I feel.

I always feel that every class is a lil kid jumping up and down and mother anet saying ‘my turn! My turn!’. And when they aren’t picked, rhey shout and scream ‘you don’t love me!’.
I stand b y my previous post. People are so use to 3 month patches with WoW, that they arent use to so few changes in a month patch.

I will say the release time of the game wasn’t good, nor was the lost shores event. Really, the game shouldve come out in dec or jan, so to miss most of the holiday events and not spend time on them. Lost shores was just bad, and november shouldve been a fixer up and balance patch.

I agree, and wish anet would reply more to it, but hunters do need some fixing. I agree with a post that the hunter spirits shouldve gotten the same buff as warrior banners. At the same time, i dont want them unattackable, cause then they might as well be warrio
banners. But yes anet, next patch, focus on rangers please.

I do disagree with all these new skins in blc. We need new skins in the world to work towards. And for wvw, add a new vendor that sells ascended gear, and set the requirements to be badges and a certain rank. Maybe save that for when laurals are tied to achievements.

I dont agree with everything theyve done, the chest skins, ascended gear, precursors being rng, but i do hope that the whole loot dro kitten ue opened their eyes and ears to reasonable posters here, and work more with us and ask for feed back

Heck, maybe one step with classes is to hold a q n a on their forums or so

Facet.5914:

Its natural for both sides to feel outnumbered when such large numbers are involved, but you can’t even pretend to have been outnumbered by any significant margin in those fights. I’m not going to stand here and declare that YB prevailed against 3-to-1 odds even though that’s how the renderingsometimes made it appear from our point of view. We both had a queue, and indeed, those were good fights.

O boy, I wished I took some screenshots when we fought just north-east of south hills gate, we chased you Me guys their and as we were butting heads, we look behind at sally port, and a wave 2x your size just comes up, sandwiching us. Would of been a great screen. O well next time. (crossing my fingers if someone in guild was recording tonight).

We had maybe 20 for that fight, we ran that way because you had built siege overlooking the approach to mid inner gate, you were quite foolish to string yourselves out by following us around that corner, as once you did we pounced, and the excellent initiation allowed us to successfully engage your superior numbers. As that was happening about 30 dudes from other guilds arrived but were completely oblivious to the urgent situation because the gate was closed, so they spent 20s killing the flame rams (we were displeased). But eventually they did come through the gate and help us finish you guys off, after which given the numbers by that time, it was easy to push off the 20+ of you that had stayed in front of mid inner.

To me the most amusing episode from last night was at Southeast tower, if only for the fact that Krew obviously never told you guys about the ballistas in the courtyard. They had wiped there before the update, you guys wiped there after the update in approximately the same manner.

I was on a ballista the second time. I saw a zerg, then the zerg was gone :p.

Elric Of Melnibone.4781:

I don’t understand why people are complaining. I found the new WvW incredibly smooth last night from the moment I logged in and got through the queue. I saw ridiculously huge enemy and friendly zergs and never encountered skill lock in the biggest of battles.

I also now have levels/achievements/buffs to show some progress for any time I spend in WvW. The per character levels/buffs I think was also a good idea.

We complain because we want to be rewarded for trying to win the match not just capping everything in a never ending 3 way zerg go round

I think you quoted the wrong post but in any case I don’t see how any of the features the patch added changes how hard or easy it is to cap or defend anything.
If you upgrade your structures and place and man siege correctly, you can hold off greater forces and rack up a lot of badges in the process. I have seen it done many times before and after the patch.

This, so much this. People are thinking that running around is the best way for wxp. Get a bunch of arrowcarts, place correctly at walls, get a treb and cata as well for their treb and cata eventually. And rack up the points and bags as the try to pvd. We had 8 acs at one point, and there were so many bags at my feet.

People just want 3 months of content in a one month patch

Serophous.9085:

Well, you see, there are these instances where people run in less thakittenerg, and sometimes in groups of just 5-10. And usually when we run into a group of equal or slightly greater size, me running up and behind, causing confusion and panic, usually works, as when a player goes down before my haste buff even ends and I can stealth away, their friends usually have 1 or 2 people rezzing that person, thus, 2-3 people arent fighting.

So that’s great, you just described the focus of the kind of groups that get decimated by a skilled thief.

its not that hard, hence it being lawl worthy. And thats what i was talking about. you’re the one that had ‘zergs’ on the brain. But i accept your apology

Jacklo.4230:

Yeah a thief can simply sneak behind the zerg and take them out one by one!!!
Are you playing Tier 8? Seriously!
I tried that tactic tonight and got nowhere but dead very quickly. Perhaps I’m bad, or perhaps I’m playing against people who know what they’re doing? I dunno.
Either way, thief isn’t a ticket to glory, except against a player who isn’t built to handle one.
Tell me, how unbalanced are they in sPvP?

I’m sorry, I reread my post and looking for when I said ‘zerg’, or where i said I ‘killed a player’.

Well, they could put a vendor in that sells ascended gear, but tacks on ‘must be x wvw rank’ and make its cost karma and badges?

Diabolus Anur Kaya.8379:

I am just looking forward to the end of the “perma stealth” aspect of the thief that has been abused in wvwvw.

To better understand it I got my thief up to level 80 and took her into wvw and was amazed at how easy it was to hit and vanish on a consistent basis, and yes thieves do hit hard.
When it became apparent that with just a little bit of tweaking and even less experience that playing a thief this way enabled even someone without any real pvp skill, like myself, to effectively tie up and slowly pick off groups of 7-8 people or less without any real danger to myself I had to put her away. It wasn’t even amusing it was actually pitiful.

This being said I still really hope that the developers have come up with a way to even the playing field where the thief is buffed in a way to not have them go the way of the dinosaur.

I did the same thing, figuring if i knew how it was played, i could counter it. Oh the lawls i was having going behind people’s groups when my group went head on into them. They focused more on aoeing or trying to stop me than the group before them, and i still kept downing them or weakening their forces. It was so stupid.

And at least anet fixed the ‘never gonna cap this supply post’ abuse.

VOLKON.1290:

It may be subtle, but WvW will change from this. Zergs will be seen from a distance now charging to their destinations, scouts will be able to report more reliable intel as a result more quickly. Defenses can be mustered faster, I see great battles ensuing where before easy flips would happen.
Of course, I’m an optimist. But… things will change, in a good way.

… and to counter it, people will gather in even larger zergs to flip keeps easier and faster before being scouted, resulting in more ability and graphics lag than we have ever seen before.

Of course, I’m a pessimist.

Or people in megazergs will get tired of people turning the other way forcing them to pvdoor and break up into smaller zergs… The optimistic point of view.

Can we at least call megazergs megazords instead? Megazergs just seems too weird.

Graybes.8251:

Taldek.6105:

I am sure that some people will hate it at first. Mainly the people who have adapted their entire strategy to take advantage of the current culling shortcoming. I especially look forward to this.

I’d say the first people to complain are the thieves who have been abusing culling. They will probably claim that they are now underpowered and that their stealth needs to be buffed.

I give you the winning post of the thread.

My cup was running dry, now it spillth over!

CoaxialMazer.9140:

I personally think the only thing endure pain is some reduced cooldown. 60 seconds or perhaps a trait that makes it 20% less to all stances. Otherwise, its not a bad stance at all.

Thats kinda what i was getting at with changing it altogether, that we could get a reduced cd. I dont disagrre, its a nice skill to survive the first burst, but its still going to be on cd before their burst skills recharge.

Well, now that TSYM is jumping ship as well, this is going to be a trainwreck. :l

Aw, boo
They were a fun target.

Where are TSYM going?

I believe the bandwagon is heading to Kaineng.

That is the saddest thing I’ve ever heard.

Dear TSYM,
Please do not bandwagon to Kaineng, you are better than that.

Server loyalty, like chivalry, is dead.

So the new t3 will be db, yaks, mag

Since being invincible to direct dmg only isnt the best when conditions eat you up, why not just change this skill to give protection and regen?

Do people actually still play WvWvW?

No, we just keep up appearances on the forums to trick Anet.

Great, now they know.

SCATTER!

Fox.3469:

So basicly if 3 servers agree to have a massive free for all in the middle of each map (aka the krait islands and stonemist without repairing any walls, that would benefit them more then actually playing?

Well…no world bonuses, which i guess isnt a complete loss, unless they add a +%WXP bonus (and they should).

And despite a ‘Truce’, people are going to want to look good on the leaderboards. I wish they would expand on it more on how it works. I never considered the tiers to represent better servers, but just for population. I mean, if they do it that way, the number one server could be a t7 or 8.

Course, thats wishful thinking.

Im also hoping to make the other abilities more relevant, guards are getting buffed.

Everything posted in this thread should be in the form of a question.

SausageStorm.4293:

510 point tick. Go Yaks!

1. kitten did that happen? (not complaining). Did we get a new night crew?
2. I expect that to be swapped around when yaks sleeps.

I think this was a missed chance to make Violo Raptorgaze reappear

gonna give you mad props on that vid. Now we wait for them to nerf hammer guardians and warriors because its so op now too right?

Two criticisms:
1. Culling may have been a slight factor, I just think increasing your casualties is all, but you would have still won with so much control.
2. No Hammer Time music.

Perceptor.7189:

we, the skritts demand a total cease of this alliance and any other type of group who’s coming to our home and kill our people!!!! and we demand more shinies!!

I have the shiniest shiny. Worship me.

Ok, im going all conspiracy theory here here, but if this is what anet has planned, then kudos and i take back everything i say about the story sucking.

As some of us know, if you are in the whispers and go to the priory, you meet a fellow spy there saying something like ‘dont count what must not be counted’, refering that there is another dragon we dont know of.

And trahearne could be that dragon. Think about it, he’s known at least one person in each order to learn their weaknesses, and forming the pact was his way of ridding the world of the rest of the dragons, weakening the pact more, while making them do his dirty work.

And him making us his commander was only to keep an eye on us, and send us on suicidal missions, hoping we dont come back.

XxTAFxX.6741:

Anet makes money when ppl use real cash for the trans stones.
And as you have to use many to do it i guess anet would prob look the other way.
As long as there making money from it.

I would hope so. The ones i have earned through map completion and dailies are drying up fast, as me and the guy on the vid do the same things for our warriors.
