Guild Wars 2

Maybe, buuuuut:
-asura conzentration camps for early sylvaries
-asura hunting and imprisoning ‘lesser races’ to perform experiments in them: skritt in the asura startin areas come to mind.
-charr committing genocide in humans, including eating them and in the case of gwen i think there was stated that they defiled her some how, just a memory i can not find a source for this.
-humans answering genocide with actually skinning charr , sentient beeings, and wearing them as armour.
-Extremist organizations like the inquest, flame Legion and i think the human seperatists spring to mind as well
I think the elder dragons are more some kind of force of nature, i am not sure if they are actually able of sentient decision making. I allways got the impression that they were driven by something, not deciding to take actions.
That is why i have a hard time to see them as the great masterminds behind some extremist movement or Organisation.
Edit: because german autocorrect on phone is a kitten

Fighting germans? I am pretty sure you just marked this thread for closing due to demonizing a specific nationality

hey there,
i seem to have a streak of really bad luck lately:
1. Prisoners of the dragon bugged, rytlock wont start, 2 hours of trying and charakter change and i got the first item.
2. now after playing the strange observations story stap. no credit on my collection path.
i allready found one post on this forum regarding this but it is 2 months old, no official answer posted.
so do you guys run into this as well or is it just me and my bad luck that i seem to break everthing regarding this backpack…

this is still a thing. wanted to do the act 1 achievements for my backpack collection. rytlok does not move, the vine ranks remain in place. none of the npc move.
Edit:
The bug was not existant on my 3 year old warrior, just checked, a 1 week old guard character was afflicted by the bug and still remains so
edit2:
possible hot fix, i just completed the mission on my warrior, now rytlock is able to move on my guardian, maybe you have to do it with a nother char is what i am taking here, to "un bug " it, hope that helps
best regards

Please read my post again. I do not gloat, my Main point was that you should wait as i am sure that there will be alternatives. From what i see cele ele is mostly low and mid tier matches and then almost allways solo q. Teams run scepter dagger glass cannons and play to support each other. So the cele ele falls out if this theme of Team based every body is valuable and has a role. I appreciate you are unhappy with the changes, but lashing out at people, declaring their arguments invalid and not even considering other possible points of view is just extremism. You may think you have a point, but hostility towards other players or demeaning posts about how x class will dominate the oh so bad meta does not help. This kind of behavior is just digging trenches and putting on tinfoil hats. If that is how you want to be seen i feel sorry for you. In future i suggest you try not to get carried away by the apparently normal toxicity of the late pvp league and instead (again) wait how it plays out. I do know i was Quite rude in this post, but i think the rudeness gets warranted if you actually have to try to declare me a babbeling fool unable to make educated statements. Best regards.

Soo i try to keep out of these arguments and honestly i apreciate that there are a lot of players that know their kitten better than i do. That beeing said. If you as an ele player throw a hissy fit because they removed your precious amulet i invite you to get a new perspective. Now this is not to gloat over your misfortune but where is the trade off when playing cele? You are viable no matter what. If you are skilled you take center point fights home on your own, including a 3 player split for mid. DMG sustain support faceroll heal. So my offer is: go to character creation, create a warrior. Go into heart of the mists. Build something that looks neat, solo q get killed by; marauder scrapper, condi herald, tempest aura, erased and safestomped by chrono and flamed by your team for playing warrior in the first Place. So now with our newly won perspective we go to meta battle and look for warrior pvp conquest builds, you know the viable (faceroll) ones. And lo and behold none are there. How’s that? All classes are equal and all are valuable and of course play what you like. But they are not. No matter the game mode. Balancing has to Start somewhere. Again i do not want to insult or feast on your misery. But if you want to attempt to balance the classes you need to slow some of those that are more than just viable. The same is true for builds. There are still other builds, especially in tq, and while i agree with killing of cele i do also agree that there have to be amulets that are interesting alternatives for you. But these alternatives while allowing you to be the Jack of all trades should not make you the master of all trades. That all beeing said, i suggest you just watch and learn. And from time to time remember you could be a wvw warrior trying to figure out what the hell to do with the bloddy torch. I am sure you will find an alternative playing style. Wether or not that is a good thing is something for another topic alltogether, i guess. Best regards!

Rednik i do not intend to disrespect you but Please bother reading the title. Please try not to prove you got it all figured out. Please try not to Prove yourself a hard kitten by looking down on people posting here. Try to be helpfull and valuable instead of going after people that are already anoyed by the exploit. I for one do not mind skipping. But i do mind if skipping means doing so by use of an exploit. It’s convenient and cosy to demand skipping if you yourself don’t have to pay the price. So before this goes any further, stop trying to aggrovate people here to derail the threat so it does not get shut down and people that are actually not happy with this situation can continue to post here. The boss is anyoing yes. So anoying that i would risk my account for 2 mins safed time? Hell no.

I posted in that very matter here, just a few days earlier. A net seems busy with other stuff. After all there is a big patch comming. My solution after recieving feedback Here. If players make it wild West and try to force or kick you, you better make sure you draw faster, meaner and have wingmans. That means i open the lfg, i habe 2 buddies to quick kick others Trying to vote kick me and upon joining the fractal i post this premade post: better be safe than sorry. Skipping via revenent is an exploit. Demanding, forcing or perpetrating an exploit might pose a threat to your or the perpetraitor’s account. If you demand of me that i skip i will report you ingame and send a Screenshot of your chatlog to the arenanet support.
The last few runs i was in, no one demanded it afterwards. I realise this is not perfect. But just because the revenant is a class that supposedly broke pvp, pve and wvw does not mean every revenant player ingame is fair game and you are free to demand of them that they risk their accounts for your personal gain, vendetta or just because you don’t care.
After this rant just let me congratulate you to standing up to those thugs.

Thank you for your time and research. You got my +1. that was a very helpfull and well done post!

well could some one please verify wether or not skipping the fire efigy in the molten facility fraktal (40) is actually iglitching and by that a risk to your account? because i am unable to play this right now. evry time i join a groupt farm or none, i get greeted with the word skip. rev skip. fast pls. lol noob. and i am kicked because i am not willing to risk a 4 years old account so that you safe 2 minutes per encounter. an offical statement would be nice. and maybe even an option to report some one that want to force you to bug for his gain.

BroDTlordTV.1247:

It would be very nice to get an update on how the experiments are working and how long they will go on.

And even If you say that this isn’t the reason for the lags that people get… Please fix it!
I don’t know what the problem is, maybe the experiments are the reason maybe it’s the amount of new F2P players coming into the game and the servers can’t handle it or w/e
The one thing I know is that this is going one for a week now! A week filled with 300ping and nothing else.

This, so very much exactly this.

I don´t have any idea why this issue exists. But devs saying its not their fault and they could do nothing about it and players white knighting, bad mouthing or flaming people like me for beeing annoyed is not the way to deal with this crisis.

Dear Anet get more answers out. Explain it. And what ever you do: do not ever let other players flame concerned users until they just shut up. the problem does not go away. the annoyed consumer does.
I pre ordered HoT, the 100 bucks edition. I played this game for 4k hrs. I have 3 hours~ time for gw and I do not want to spend my time lagging with a avrg 532 ping. And when I am concerned I do not want to be attacked for my concerns. I think i am not the only one here. So please Anet give some quality feedback why so many lags and the test coincide. And to all the white knights that think users that don´t understand the situation: please calm your kittens, thank you very much.

i think that is about it then. german und spanish forums got the statement. EN forum smites every single statement that is made that it is a bad timing for this.
verdict: we sit it out and let the trolls take care of the rest

JediYoda.1275, WereDragon.6083 my logic? btw i am german so yeah the whole ww2 games thing, i really do rather detest those games. but be that as it may, i think you guys might just try to think for your self. think quite hard. so i have to compare dead people to others, just to say: welll too bad but so is life, and now i wil make fun of those who are actually taken aback by those comments.
i wonder what you guys would say if you were involved in this event

munki.6402:

Silberfederling.9302:

so i wonder,
the spanish and the german forums have dev posts where they admit it is unfortunate that this joke was made, why again is there no offical EN post about it? it seems rather strange seen as people here are getting shredded, judged and actually dead children are beeing laughed at.
still no statement from gaile for example?
are we plannin gon sitting it out? all those people been attacked here have to grow a pair? no moderators act ( besides making it impossible to follow by merging the threads) and no offical post from a net, and i do not mean the local guys i mean those who post here, where people alive and dead are insulted by the minute

Your appeal to emotion is noted. Stop using your flimsy correlation as justification for your annoyance at having your in-game immersion broken. It’s far more despicable than your accusations against Anet.

uhm sorry but just no…
there are actually people here that had to deal with this for two weeks now
first thing after two hard weeks working with family members is this aviation joke?
sod the immersion it is about the timing. and your post was really just … yeah….

Because to be honest, they have nothing to apologize for. There is an grandiose line between making our characters pretend to be planes like little children with an old timey movie look, and a plane crash. Yes it is sad as to what happened sure, that does not mean we can’t move on considering this was a local incident and probably nearly no one in the game is personally affected by this.

yeah…. but why the local apologies? but here where people are making fun over dead children, no response?

oke then to sum the “discussion” up.
no statement from a net in the english forums.
the general consensus here seems to be it is no problem those who are “offended” ( i really think offended is the wrong word, i think rather baffled is more like it, at least for me) are stupid, uneducated, unaware, selective, hypocrites //enter your personal term you think “we” are//
it is sad but i think what really happens here is a pure compassionless flamewar.
to state yes it is bad BUT people die all the time, it just a game, you naughty little hypocrite i my country so and so.
really? that is all you are able to answer if people voice their concerns about a “feature” in a game?
well seems i grew too old an touchy for this forum, because i have to say i did not expect the guildwars community to be that callous.
i think i learned my lesson well, do not read the forums or you loose your faith into your “fellow gamers” beeing actual feeling human beeings

Shufflepants.9785:

Silberfederling.9302:

you guys are aware that there was a plane crash/suicide in europe last week, right?

You are aware that roughly 150,000 people in the world die every single day and as such we can’t cease all humor everywhere every time some one dies, right?

i am aware that it is considered cool to play the delusioned hard guy and throw statistics arround to rationalise the death of people. i really wonder why people have to do this. i am also aware that many people that play mmo´s (judging from my servers TS channel) don´t give a dime for what happens in the real world. but i invite you to reconsider your point.

do i have the right to rationalise the death of people.
do i have to compare the importance of peoples death with one another?
do i have to attack people and call them either names or hypocrites because they stand for what they think are moral standards?
what are my moral standards?

and no i do not need more discussions along the lines, everyone dies, grow a pair, cry some more, they were only frensh/german/spanish.
there has been quit a lot of grief on both sides, as is normal in a forums discussion ( as we are not able to kick each others faces in, what seems to be what quite a lot of people in this forum seem to want) i don`t think either side will “win” anything by flaming each other.
Simply reconsider if you have to attack people as hypocrites for talking about deaths that they might care for just because you do not.

you guys are aware that this prank is rather on the unsensetive side for rather a few europeans, right?

just again wie had a 3 vs 5, after the patch these situations appeard rather often. 2vs 3 4 vs3 now a 3 vs 5 from the start. peeps getting random join messages during fights. could we get an eta for a fix of this?

hey yup germany was hit hard today at, i belive it was, 17:30 (5:30 p.m.) CET. Millersound Borderlands. Both sides (Drakkar Lake and Miller) recieved one extreme lag. Both zergs lagged infight for about 20-30 secs. Afterwards random connection losses and skill lags, as well as, well…. endless loadingscreen that forced the players to close the game. this startet for only a few players at about 15:30 ( 3:30 p.m.) and began to increase in duration and endet in disconnects.
I have to say that is really annoying. yesterday we lost literally half (17) ouf our participating raid members. this situation is toxic for wvw guilds. we have to be able to offer raids, if they become unplayable due to heavy lags, we lose players permanently. during the last 2 weeks 14 players from our guild stopped playing gw2 stating they would follow the forums but not play until the lag was solved.
what can i say i do understand them. especially if only one side recieves laggs.
two days ago we encountered a gunnars hold zerg standing and dying with only 4 players moving. right after we killed them we had several dc´s and laggs. this is getting stranger and i have to say really irretating.

Yes hello again:

basically i cite Tobias Trueshots suggestion here who went through all the work to sum my rage post up(thank you for that):

“Please be careful about who you let access to your Guild Vault, and be careful of how much valuables are stored in there.”

And add:

- i think it would be very useful to have way more control over how much certain ranks can take from the guild bank.
- i know you could simply say hide the rare stuff in a deeper vault where not all have access
But what if:
- some guys just want to donate i.e. blueprints and want to make the into superior. the crafting materials are also available in the guild bank we have to give them the right to take as they please in the first vault

My Suggestion:

- Give the guild leader the chance to edit the number of items per rank/day/vault
- Possible result:
—Basic Grunt Rank: can add as many items as he wishes to the vault BUT can only remove 4 slots per day ( i.e. 250 ac plueprints/ 250 flameramblueprints/ 250 Mithril/250 wood

Why?

Well long story short we gave (after the initial time) a member of our guild the rank to access the first vault( as a wvw guild we a rather dependent on the donations of our members so they place materials and blueprints into the first vault and craft them up)

AANND? What was so bad??

Yes well. Basically during the night said guy thought it would be cool to take all that stuff and go sell it to buy his legy. We lost stuff worth 700g, he had a laugh, and no one will be able to help you.

i hope my suggestion will at least once be revived by a dev, because i think guild leaders need some more options regarding the permissions thy giver with the various ranks. i think this all or nothing solution is a tad unsubtle.

hello gaile and hello guys,
i did a google search and found no statement what so ever so i decidet to open this threat.
I hope gaile might shed some light into this.
- if you stealth as a thief player loose their focus on you. i think thats intendet.

- if you stealth and a ranger hits rapidfire you will be followed. you will recieve dmg, other players see the projectiles and know where you are. is this intendet?

- is it intendet that rapidfire is able to hit you like an aimbot in a shootergame?
because that is how it feels.

Pls i would love to hear an official statement on this. is it a bug? will it be fixed? is it intendet so rangers finally hit something? because i have got to say, and i know you can dodge jadajadajada, it is really buggin me.

so a net u just made your biggest mistake everrrr. really if you do not deliver the next season or wossname that is going to follow, you leave me no other options than; either swim over this big pond of yours and crack the wipps as to get you guys deliver faster. or i will simply die because of excitement. that was one hell of a finale. this was one hell of a render trailer, and that was all in all pretty amazing. keep it up, right now i am simply amazed what you guys just delivered!
seriously though pls do not wait another year with the next expansion (gotta know if i can trust those sylvari in my guild or not^^, were always kinda twitchy with this wooden stare of them )

I have mixed feelings if you’re whining or shining.

i was, and still am fanboying ( not sure that´s a word) off^^
no whining) sry for bad english and not beening more accurate in my spelling :/

Guild Wars 2 ClientPortTest is utterly useless.
Just returned from a 1 monthish offtime from gw2 and wanted to raid with my guild during primetime. gues that was my fault really. sorry for beeing european. I am really really angry that there is still no sign of change after 2 months. that there is still the same old: “some players /may/ or may not experience some small lags but overall all is fine and well”. Really i would appreciate some change. First off all do bloodly please please with suggar on top with it tell us if you will/ are able to fix this problem /this/ year. I bought this game and intendet to spend more money into further advanceing my account. But I will not unless I am able to play what I payed for, when it pleases me.

After this wall of bikkering here the rest:
Location: Germany/ Unitymedia
Time: 2014-12-20:00-01:00***
World: Drakkar Lake

Skill lags first, after 10 secounds massive delay on every character. regardless of location or number of characters involved.
Tested: Eternal Battlegrounds, Borderlands, Lions Arch, Divinity´s Reach, Queensdale, Personal Story (up to lvl 20), Hoelbrak.
Players involved: 2 (Personal Story), WvWvW (changing numbers between 16 and 60*), PvE mostly 4 or 5 Players directly visible, Towns ( honestly i don`t know, mannyish)

I really do hope you get this sortet out verrrrry soon. My guys take the same hits at this time 7 out of 16 during this evenings raid.

So knowing this is an amazing game but beeing unable to play it because we are just europeans really really irritates the living (insert random stuff here pls) out of me.

Well that sums it up^^
I haven´t seen any one addressing that kind of problem right now but it’s kind of hilarious.
It started massively Friday and that is for most of our wvw players.
I don´t know if there are other servers than drakkar lake involved.
During reset I saw my zerg disconnect. The entire zerg, our cue for eternal battle grounds just popped from 47 to 0.
I have friend list messages in my chat log that show if a friend goes online or offline and I have seen literally waves of people being send offline.
These spikes are entirely new many say it’s because of the latest patch.
I would love some statement from arena regarding this situation.
Because I am really distressed if you are aware of this situation, if you will change it or if there are just too few players involved.
Because I can assure you there are quite a lot people of my server suffering.
Our ts has this as a constant theme, most people in my guild coming online ask: is it now playable? Are there still lags? Sry got a dc again what did you say?

Pls arena give us a statement what this is and if you will work on a fix

if I understand the most demands here right:
- the warrior should have lesser stability, making him a playball for necromancers mesmers and cc in general that you have to take in a zerg fight ( caster don´t take that they stay behind actually, where as a warrior your sole function is to break the line)
- because class xyz can´t this and that the warrior should not be able to do it as well because he is so op
- i wan´t my mesmer/ranger in the frontline taken dmg dealing dmg but i hate those warriors because they allready can, gues why; because thats their purpose ( tell me: how long does a warrior survive in burst dmg after his invulnerability has worn off, and don´t assume everone runs “ignore pain”, “berserkers stance”. some of us actually try to play for the zerg via support)
- because the warrior has so much hp and armor he should be no good for anything else but that because his dmg is so op (actually i agree that some weapons do ridicoulus amounts of dmg while others could need a buff)

after reading the 6 pages in this thread I ask my self:

why do most of the players writing in this thread actually and their “suggestions” aim to disable the warrior from beeing able to do anything (really sum all this brilliant suggestions up: lesser heal, lesser dmg, lesser armor, lesser movement, more cd, target for movement) would you guys feel satisfied when this all happens?
so the nxt endless stealth condition dmg thief can slaughter 4 warriors at once? is that what you wan´t?
to sum it up most posts aim to destroy the base mechanic of the warrior. ok take him out of the game lets all run in circles and cloak and dagger ourselves to death.

from my point of view there are 3 major problems with the warrior:
1. extreme dodge via gs “3”= either reduce the dmg or lower the evade time/distance
2. gs “5” sprint range = this is for all classes: no class should be able to run or sprint via skill that fast that far. the range you run should be reduced drastically
3. the sigils= i am not sure how to interfere with this: the sigils will grant yourself extreme boni combined with ignore pain, you are not supporting your zerg but have the time of your life, i don´t know how to change that, but there should be looked into.

so why do i react so intense?
playing on a server where we fight most zerg fights in the ast 3 months outnumbered and in addition with many unexperienced wvw players you lern the value of warriors that, as a matter of fact, are able to take conditions break though the line and disrupt the enemy “paintrain”. this could not be achievend by other classes, nor without them because even if most of you won´t admit it the warrior needs the support of other classes if he intends to live longer than 8 sec (max) in (burst) dmg.

and in addition to that i think if you only could use either berserkers stance or ignore pain at the same time this would be worth looking into.

“Ugh not again. Looks like MS are as much cowardly kittens as RS are. Didn’t these lads loose the war?”

sooooo….

really? you are playing a game ( well a fantasy game) and you feel urged to refer to world war II.? well I am 24 years old can´t remember when I lost WW II. but THANKS. its lovely that there are the international servers and the germans, it makes it easy to flame against the population of a country because you loose in a game.

I enjoy the fights vs FSP and the Gandy they ARE lots of fun but WHY do you allways have to flame about nationality in a fictive online game???
