We have some top guilds pulling this off. The Elite [ELTE] / Ruphio was making it happen for us lastnight. I am sure he was communicating with the other top guilds there as well IE: [CND] Condemned.

Or just give people the ability to pay a portion of an upgrade.
Example:

A waypoint costs 1g. Instead of just hitting Upgrade and paying the entire 1g, make it say “Deposit 5s”… once 20 people (or 1 person, clicking 20 times) deposits 5s the upgrade starts.

This is the best idea I have seen about this.

Any help with crafting?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Setch.2398

Setch.2398

Let me recommend Leather working for ranger simply because you can keep yourself in gear as you level… AND some of the best gear in game you can make for yourself at level 80. (after a lot of farming :P) You get experience for turning jute scraps (and later materials) into cloth and leather scraps in leather. The tough matts are always the trophy items used to make the insignias. So your second profession should probably not require those items. I have never tried being a gem crafter but wonder if that wouldn’t be a good match.

edit: and make sure and grab a logging axe, mining pick, and harvesting sickle so you can gather ALL matts. It also levels you.

And you will need salvage kits to blow up light armor and medium armor for cloth and leather. Also handy to blow up excess items you made to get some matts back. And of course used to blow up salvage scraps.

Setch.2398

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Can-you-queue-for-multiple-WvW-zones-at-once/first#post93777

A:

No, you can currently only be queued for one map at a time. Here’s a basic breakdown on how the queues are setup:

- You can only be queued for one WvW map at a time.

- If you try to enter a WvW map while queued for another one and the new map is not full, you will join that new map and still be queued for the first one you tried to enter.

- If you are queued for a WvW map and try to queue for a second WvW map that is full, you will be asked if you would like to queue for the second map. If you select ‘No’, you will still be in queue for the first map. If you select ‘Yes’, then you will enter the queue for the second map and no longer be queued for the first map.

- You can be queued for a WvW map while in an overflow map, but you will not be able to see scores or team names while you are in an overflow map.

Due to the amount of people we see queued for maps while spaces are open in other maps, we have started talking about possible ways we can change the current setup to help get people into the other maps if they have space available, but that stuff is all still in the discussion phase so it’s not likely we’ll be able to change things anytime soon.


edit: And the answer to your second question: Each side is allowed the same amount of players, so one side cannot ‘steal all the slots’.

12k hit possible ???

Posted by: Setch.2398

Setch.2398

Not sure about Thiefs, but for Ranger Rapid Fires, the damage that the Ranger sees is the culmulative damage of every hit of the skill, but not sure how it appears on the receiving player’s logs. Rapid Fire can hit for 10k+ if well geared, but that’s like 8 different shots combined.

I have never seen a 10K rapid fire… ever.

And every time we get attacked by SBI and JQ I read OUR chat saying that YOU GUYS have a pact. It’s all ridiculous. We will all be trying to take the same stuff. Also, How in the kitten (in advance) do you think such a pact would ever get organized and work? Are we having secret meetings somewhere?

Every time I read our team talking about JQ and SBI colluding against us I point out that they JUST attacked each other and/or took something from each other. People don’t like to acknowledge the truth though. They would rather see deception everywhere.

I actually think there are 2 things going on here. Whenever people have talked about invisible enemies I have assumed they were talking about the culling, which for me isn’t bad at all. But now that I am looking at a screenshot I can see that the problem people are having might be something else.

Setch.2398

Well, if they rose in ranking, I am guessing they will be happier players. Also, I can’t believe that any server has the corner on stupid people. :P It seems like more of a population issue for the lower ranked teams. And if it is just uninformed players, I am thinking that they would learn by being matched with higher ranked servers.

So it gives a needed handicap to the winning servers and a needed helping hand to the losing servers.

Setch.2398

Based on context I think OP is saying that you should be able to WvW on your sister server because it wouldn’t be in the same bracket/region as their home server. That way if HoD has huge queues you’re still able to get into WvW on your sister server.

Yes, with the added benefit of helping out low pop/ranked servers. It would MAKE the number 1 server pair up with the lowest ranked server etc. I am trying to offer a viable solution to unfair map matches since so many people are concerned about that.

SOR – [Boss]

Setch.2398

Or 1 sister server. The sister server could be picked mathematically. The Top Servers sister server would be the bottom server. The 2nd ranked server would be 2nd to bottom etc.

My point would be distributing people to needed areas. IE I could play on HoD and wait the long queue times, or I could jump over to our sister server and help them out. Maybe it would be called something like the ‘sister server alliance.’ So HoD might be doing great, but our sister server alliance might be failing because no one went to help out.

SOR – [Boss]

So I would choose HoD as my home server. During high peak times it might offer me to play on one of my 2 sister servers which would be in another region from my home server. IE HoD is my NA server and I would never get matched against my sister servers because they are in another region.

- Guilds without “Art of War” boosts activated should not be able to claim keeps and towers. At least make keep / tower claiming expire so another guild can claim it if they have (more) active AoW boosts running. I hate it when some random guild spams the Guild Claiming NPC and claim a keep / tower for no reason. It’s then permanently claimed until it’s overtaken by an enemy team. Make absolutely no sense.

If a guild is able to claim a Keep right after it has been captured, then they were the major contributing factor in capturing it. A small guild will not be able to claim it until 1 or 2 minutes later.
