Guild Wars 2

So im in a tower in eotm—-someone had already set up some ac inside the tower by the steps. Along comes a zerg aaaannnnd—-they are firing ac so deep into the tower that its covering the entire steps down. Which should in theory be imposable because there is no line of sight for that. I certainly coudn’t return any fire as there was zero line of sight for myself.

Any thoughts as to whats going on here? I have some suspicions>>.

Is still invulnerable after both elementals have been killed. We went back to re-cap it—and was imposable. First time iv seen this happen.

Just spent ten minutes staring at this post wondering what was wrong with it—-then it dawned on me. The heavy use of emotive language language to poke a response. Ten minutes of my life ill never have back.

Anyway, warriors who ‘abuse’, and use ‘cowardly’ tactics are using the skills and abilities that are available to them—just as every other class does in gw2. I never would have thought I would see the day when a post would make me say this, but this is a case of L2P! (and believe me when I say—I really hate that term).

Whilst we are on the topic where did you hear the ‘rumor’ about said greatsword nerfs? Please post the link—if one exists—something someone heard from a guildy from a guildy from something overheard from the bloke down the pub doesn’t quite qualify Im afraid.

I would like to see balancing in eotm, its long overdue. Anyone who spends any length of time in there can see that its a problem, unless of course your the dominant team, and then they will be the ones demanding that there should be no balancing whatsoever (funny how that works).
I would also like a Ferrari, my bank account overflowing and a 100 foot Yacht, but iv more chance of having those than having some TLC in eotm—or indeed wvw!

LOL, cant believe this, Was just thinking about this the other day. Collective Psyche, something in the water—who knows—who cares, got my vote.

+1 to this!

Combustive Shot is partially buggy in EOTM, interestingly enough only on capping the red base boss. Possibly due to the elevated platform?

Anyway, fire it at the champ/ pointblank/ slightly to the side/ completely off to the side, its roughly 50% or there about, reacts as if its a complete miss and will reset the cool down, without using up the adrenaline. All the other champs doing this seem fine, even though the green boss side also has an elevated platform.

Plus the stability factor is buggy in the extreme. Been knocked off cliff ledges i the past month or so after i popped Plague. Looking at the combat log to see what had happened, on a load of occasions Iv hav been feared and hit by Illusionary Wave (mesmer greatsword skill) both theoretically imposable if stability is already well up.

ps I was not hit by corrupt boon and the stability was not removed.

Iv been on the same server since day one, and naively bought into the idea of server loyalty. That was up until the first wvw tournament and witness the mad scramble by many respected guilds and commanders to up sticks and stack various servers in an effort to win.
So I now believe in server loyalty as much as i believe in Santa and the Easter Bunny!

Reported this three weeks ago via the in-game reporting tool, and again two weeks ago via the same system as I noticed it in kessex as well as queensdale. Can’t help but wonder if anyone actually reads those.
Anyway, exactly as the above post have stated, however, on one occasion the toxic event (possibly) bugged out on the carry explosives. I carried the explosives several times, and on the final one to destroy it, the game fatally crashed at the exact moment the explosives went off! When I got back in i had the message that the event had actually failed, even though there was still at least 30 secs on the timer! (kind of weird in that i had a message at all after a fatal crash—-but there you go>>).

Approx 12 hours a day, every day without a toilet break—-Im keeping my distance for a looong time!

Hope the birthday boosters included.

As for the Queen Jennah mini picture this—

LS season (pick a number) It is revealed that Scarlets ultimate weapon was——-A cloning machine, which was used on queen Jennah—-Queue The Walking Dead intro, but replaced with Queen Jennahs.

Combat aside, (woudn’t like to use it for that personally) it would be nice to have for doing jumping puzzels to stop camera crash.
If im in town and talking to friends, it would also be nice to have. Some of the character facial animations are pretty well lost at the moment, unless you actually take time to have a close look, ie charr, wrinkles nose and sniffs the air—-all characters blink etc.

At the end of the day, its another extension of ‘play as you want’.

Its coming up to the two year mark, and I was wondering if there was any sign that we will have first person view?
There is no earthly reason why we shoudn’t have it, considering the amount of content that actually requires it, other than some spurious psycho babble about 3rd person view making us more ‘emotionally’ connected to our characters.
(its just as easy to make a counter argument that first person view makes us more emotionally connected to the game as we view it as ourselves participating)

So come on guys, wev been asking for this since day one, please give us first person view, its not asking that much.

Thank you for your time.

“Corrected an issue that was causing lag in a number of maps”.

Yah, they will do that.

Dry Top was still lagging though.

Have you tried adjusting the flux capacitor?

It may have passed some of your attention, but we had a game update this morning (morning if your in Europe ) , nothing unusual in that—-except its the weekend.

Thank you very much anet team, keep it up

If you go to the wp at overgrown fane (green), and run up to the upper ledge over looking the boss, by the tree there’s a spot where its imposable to get out of other than getting a mess portal or porting.
Not an issue if its uncontested, a pain in the small fluffy animal that goes meow when it is contested.

Just a heads up. No need to ctrl-right click to make one of the three skills of plague keep spamming. One click makes it spam, unless you click one of the others, then that one will auto spam for the duration. Hope that helps

Just been on EotM, was playing defensive—-manned the oil, and the timer to defend had only just started. As I was manning the oil i had an excellent view of the door. There was zero rams and no other siege.

A bunch of necs and eles quite literally melted the door in under 20 secs from 100% to zero and were in O-O.

style.6173:

This is a WvW forum. EotM is a PvE map and the topic should be moved there.

Hmm—-looks like wvw—tastes like wvw—-‘presses EotM button on WvW’—-Guess its WvW—who would have guessed?

Why people argue it has to be either wvw or Ktrain is beyond me. You can do both but a vocal minority insist it has to be either or—-complete nonsense. Live and let live and get on with it!

Chaba.5410:

No zombie skills please. IIRC that was done in another mmo and the result was really bad. ‘Corrupted blood incident’

Heard about this years ago (of all places on the News O-O ). Still makes me giggle

Humlae.1234:

There used to be a ranger spirit that prevented rezzing in gw1. That should come back in trap form. Maybe one that prevents both hard and soft rezzing so it is rally or nothing (say 8000 range and 15min duration).

I feel this would solve a few problems wvw has and would make it easier for a small skilled group to take out a badly organised blob.

Shazam—( http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Frozen_Soil ) There you go.

Mine—Blame mine—-group cought in field stop to blame each other for various minor things —-2 secs stun. (various calls charr vs asura vs human etc)

Shrinker mine—-group cought in field have their cloths shrunk and voices become shrill minus 25% speed duration—-duration (dunno im making this up)

And yes I confess—I am a fan of the Mystery men movie

No thank you! PvP has the worst reputation for in game hostility in the entire game and shudder to think of those attitudes in pve. Iv played games with pvp in the open world. People chase you around the place making a pest of themselves spamming challenge—-its a pain in the small fluffy mammal that goes meaow!
What next? WvW in pve? Walking to do an event and an enemy zerg pops around the corner?
Keep that pvp genie well and truly locked in its bottle where it belongs.

Attack on sight anything thats not my team. Dont like it? too bad—cry on my other shoulder—the other ones too damp—-its wvw—get over it!

Evalia.7103:

I’m not sure about the details, but the idea of removing Outnumbered and putting in “Outpointed” sounds decent to me.

Or how about—‘WARNING—-You are about to be crushed——Proceed with Caution’, and when your dead another pop up—-‘Told you so’.

[quote=4116508;VladeKR.9851:

2: Magic Find: Same goes with the +20% Magic Find. Seriously, if you find a precursor in a WvW drop, the chances are you’re leaving WvW game immediately to craft legendary or something.
[/quote]

20% magic find is so minor it’s like a mosquito attacking an elephant, so even though its there it would be unlikely that pre’s would start falling-out of the air (nice thought though).

Currently there is no facility for the boost powder and WxP, will this be changing, and if so when,
Thank you.

I was split between Karl Pilkington and Marcello DiGiacomo. Who i hear you ask?—-the Heal-o-Tron’s sparing partner from Wintersday ( http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Marcello_DiGiacomo ). So the question is-how, and who on earth gave him a pilots license? I think its a scam, as I have yet to see that airship lift off!

Hard to say. For me server loyalty was a big deal. However with the mega server, everything is the same, where as before different servers had a different feel to each other. WvW comms cant go and make a rallying call in their server any more—as it doesn’t exist.

Server transfers at the start of the season fed on players fears of losing, so they transferred out, leaving the rest of us to cope, the blame for that is set firmly at anets feet.

EOTM—-mite as well call this Queensdale champ farm MKII, and btw, the related hostility towards people trying to actually play wvw (oh—the horror) on EOTM has come over from there as well (don’t touch my karma!) How many people have heard from a EOTM comm—-‘I don’t defend, we swap keeps—more karma!’

Map diversity—-coming up to nearly two years now, and the maps are roughly the same. Why they never introduced meaningful map rotations (by that i mean completely new, different maps—not just going from one corner of the same map to the other!) ill never know.

I sincerely feel sorry for any dev put onto WvW development. Previously it was hinted at a whole slew of new shiny stuff, never to see the light of day. I cant help but feel the powers that be stopped it before it became a reality and starved it of support, making it a poison chalice.

Mite be working as intended, not sure, (been like it as long as i can remeber—which doesnt mean its rite!) however one trap can cover an entire width of a ramp—especially on approach to the duel poles. Cant see why they cant be avoidable, having it like this negates any skill whatsoever.

No rewards due to a late start——this can kick in even if there are only 15 points on the board / over 7 mins on the clock, and you just missed the start>>.

Getting stuck inside the revolving gate—this happens if you hit the no1 jump skill when it rotates.

After using light travel—if your try to use the no 3 skill to auto jump to a node, it doesn’t recognize the node and remains in manual target mode (not sure how common this one is—but just happened sooo)

Range on skills—900-1500—-yet everyone on the map takes damage when on of these little babes is triggered—-no matter the distance.

Run ability—-you have to keep your finger constantly on the W button, as auto run freezes (again—been like this since it first came out)

Is exceptionally powerful at puling foes from walls, even out of line of sight. However, in light of spectral grasp getting hammered, why has this remained unchanged, especially added to the fact that it hits multiple foes? Obviously mesmers don’t want this touched (cant blame them for that) but what do you guys think?

(please leave this topic thread here and not be moved to the mesmer discussion thread—this is a wvw topic—thank you)

1—-Muscle memory

2—-Muscle memory

3—-I forgot

I am very sorry to have to say this—-but if you havn’t heard the feedback to date (and it has been constant) you cant have been listening!

Jeknar.6184:

I’ve seen a Diamond Invader on Overgrowth (at EotM) last week… Which means he was at least 6445.

That makes me sick to my stomach. I dint rank up fast because I’m constantly defending boderlands, but I still feel like I’ve put a ton of hours into WvW, but I’m not even a fraction as close to that rank.

Don’t worry, that just means he has no social life and is a ktrain zergling

Please be respectful. If its the comm I have in mind, then she (yes—its a she) is one of the most talented comms I have met on eotm (and wvw—-which is saying something!) ; is very pro active and will demolish and harass both enemy teams, even when not on green.

(even if its not the one I have in mind, kudos to you)

Appear to be becoming a problem. DC’d myself several times this morning with my net being solid. Judging from the map chat and the amount of commander dc’s I am not alone.

Same—no chest—everything done way back—no transfers as i foolishly thought server loyalty meant something—waiting patiently.

My favorite hands down was my Rainbow Phoenix, closely followed by my Melandru’s Stalker (What can I say—-I like cats and animals).
So what was your favorite?

Wish we could be given the ability to train them like we used to, and to use the firms own arguments against it, investing time into leveling them, makes you interested in them.

Im just grateful for the small things—like the removal of the awful dome—better aoe rings we can actually see, removal of announcers voice being heard for miles (almost literally)—actually—woudn’t miss the announcers voice if it were removed totally (gone to taking my head phones off as her screechy voice is like fingers down a blackboard to me).

Would prefer the timer to be center top tho as searching for it whilst fighting is distracting—-and the announcer is useless—always says the same thing—times nearly up when you have quite a bit left—-perhaps to panic the unwary?

Bring back the old one who used to do it. Why change for changes sake?!

Jski.6180:

Have you done the new events? Or even redid the old ones this is not about making you “feel” any thing this is a event about getting ppl up to speed on the LS season 1 and letting ppl who missed some rewards or all of them a chase to get them. If you did not miss any LS then your not going to get much from this but your not the only person who plays the game.

Dont make the mistake I made this post in a ‘me me me’ attitude. I have played this game since day one and want it to be the success it deserves to be. However since anet launched the latest round of events on the release of the China GW2, and could easily have said that, that portion would be for China only, but kindly included us, I would reiterate they want us to celebrate with them. My first post still stands valid!

Why don’t I feel excited. Obviously anet wants us to feel that way, hence the big roll out. I even want to feel that way, but all I feel is, well nothing really. I would love for someone to explain how this will impact the rest of us—-if at all, and if there will be a benefit etc,. Sorry to be a party pooper>>.

Cudos to those that played. For myself I played as per normal, as I was not satisfied with the current set up, so feel fresh as a daisy

Astral Projections.7320:

They could have been Chinese nationals who bought an NA or EU version of the game. I guess they can play it from China , not sure how restrictive their internet is.

Answer—very.

Firebaall.5127:

…….that’s the point. The goal IS to get into EotM with the spy account.

Players are seeding alt accounts to spy IN EotM. Usually for the purposes of hunting enemy zergs. Those nice commander tags kind of let them know where to set up the ambush.

Bit pointless. If you are green, you can seed a lot of the map with the consumable to show if the opposing team is in close proximity. If you are not green, you will probably be crushed with the sheer weight of numbers on green.

Loosmaster.8263:

I think it should stay at 100g but also with an additional 10k BoH, if they also make different ones as discussed.

Why 10k Badges of Honor? I understand the desire to have experienced commanders in WvW, but surely those badges are better spent in siege to upgrade (or even exotic gear if you need it for another character).

Due to the fact they can be mass farmed from EoTM.

So why should anyone have to go to EotM to farm badges if they want to command? I get a bunch from just playing on the regular maps, but because they don’t drop as many badges, and I buy tons of siege with them, I rarely have close to 5k, let alone 10k… and that’s in T1, I can’t even imagine trying to save up that many on a low population server

My preference would have been for them to be unlocked through time served and / or WxP on WvW, leaving the option open for the 100g ones for PvE. Lets face it, if your a dedicated WvW player your not going to get rich!

Chaba.5410:

If they do, they should raise the cost to get one. Wouldn’t be fair to those who purchased a tag several times over.

So effectively punish both the people who have not yet got a tag and also those with multiple tags, instead of reimbursing those with multiple tags? Would not have thought this would be very popular, but who knows>>.

More to the point is why he is asking for money in the first place. Only bodies are needed for every other wvw map, so why here?

Will Commander badges be made Account bound, and if so approximately when?

(Thank you in advance)

Took me about ten mins to do. Very tricky.

But here is the weird thing. I already had it done on my character, which had previously had 100% world completion before that was there O-O (unless the gray cells are slipping again) Anyway—-saw this post and had to give it a go.

Not sure I could cope with the pvp egos in pve. If you want to duel, keep it in pvp.

This rears its head periodically>>.
