Please reconsider adding more vendor tabs to the Black Lion Specialist to keep all sets available, they are staying in the game data anyways.

You’ll just have to wait and see what’s in store

Oh, I’m so happy to read this.

You’re happy to read a logical fallacy, i.e. substituting an emotional response in place of a valid or compelling argument against adding more vendor tabs to keep all sets available? As someone who is (was?) saving claim tickets for Zodiac skins, I’m not happy hearing they’re gone- but I’d be comforted knowing they’ll reappear at some point in the future. The prices on the TP are a little above what I’ll pay right now.

For my mesmer, moving Deceptive Evasion to a Grandmaster trait decreases my ability to generate clones for both my zerker build and my shatter condi build. Not too happy about that.

I, too, would love a mute function for minis. I’m surprised how much I agree with and have done and felt exactly like this:

The SAB banana mini has, on multiple occasions since its introduction into the game, forced me to mute the game. I’m not even joking, it was so grating I flat out stopped playing for a week or so (I assumed it was a fad like the crow wings, and would be rare a week after release). It’s still a sound bite I have to listen to several times a minute whilst camped at any bank or TP. At this point, I’m willing to sacrifice all other sound effects just to avoid it. It bothers me that much. It’s just so, so annoying. PLEASE remove it, or diversify the sound options. It might sound petty, but it’s really ruining the game for me.

Kunzaito.8169, you may want to edit your post to remove the name of the offender, as “naming and shaming” on the forums can get you infracted. Best to send a PM with the name and keep it off the forums.

I know I can see an Airship in that spot at times, but your screen shots don’t look like the airship I see in borderlands skies. Can you also see it to your left in the sky above Citadel (but ghosty, like you’re not supposed to see it) as you go from SW camp on the supply road to SW tower? If yes, it might be the same airship I see when I’m in the borderlands.

Novuake.2691:

LA is not dead?

There is already confirmation that SOMETHING will happen with LA with or before HoT.

Can you link to your source please?

Last time I checked the GW1 wiki, a lot of the walk-throughs had been deleted from the main page, and a lot of helpful tips I had relied upon from the discussion tabs as well. Have they ever been put back?

The other thing I keep thinking is that we have all these other “activities” like Sanctum Sprint, Keg Brawl, etc. WHY isn’t SAB included in this rotation?

With all due respect, I vehemently oppose SAB being part of the “activity” rotation. It would mean modifying it, like Toypocalypse, so that you couldn’t queue with your friends, which defeats one of the BEST parts of SAB.

What?!? No, it wouldn’t. Or shouldn’t. Why would it be modified to be like keg brawl? No modifications, just straight OPEN FOR PLAY AS IT WAS.

TyPin, click his name and look at his posting history.

ledernierrempart.6871:

so you say that you have no problems to fight with your condi champ againt someone that have the -40%condi duration food?

Yep. Just use +40% condi duration food. I make it weekly for my mesmer.

I think Anet is making a mistake not giving refunds for the ICC. Think about it- if they gave a gem refund, folks who got the refund would have gems to spend. You get X number of gems for your refund, and you now see something you want to buy that costs X+1 gems. Bam! More gem sales. Then when 2024 (maybe as early as 2019?) comes and they bring SAB back, more gem purchases to re-purchase the Infinite Continue Coin. It’s a no-brainer- am I right, or am I right?

The other thing I keep thinking is that we have all these other “activities” like Sanctum Sprint, Keg Brawl, etc. WHY isn’t SAB included in this rotation?

Reddit link please? More info would be nice.

In OP’s defense, the warning is in a poorly contrasting color to the background, AND in very small print. But it IS there- and whenever something pops up on screen you REALLY should read it.

Data mined Rata Sum maps? Gotta google that! I figured the patch notes including "The Mini Super Monkey, Mini Super Spider, Mini Super Bee Dog, Mini Super Yeti, Mini Super Raccoon, and Mini Super Banana have been added as rare drops. " was a good sign that SAB would be back. Why else add the minis?

Great ideas, nightblood.7910!!! It never occurred to me about chill and interrupts, but you have a point.

Have to say I hate the idea that we need to carry a “trap” that costs 15 silver and some badges of honor if we want to reveal a thief. What kind of poo is that? Light fields revealing stealth would be an excellent addition to the game.

THIS is why I love WvW so much. Those battles can happen at any time. I’m on Ebay, and we have a pretty good match-up with CD & HoD right now- I seem to find a fight like OP describes at least once a day with this match-up! IMHO, there’s just no way anything PvE related (or even PvP for that matter) can compare to the level of excitement a fight like that can offer. Can tier 1 and 2 get battles like this, or is it too zergy for smaller battles?

Orochimaru.4730:

Off topic but it’s unbelievable, that the devs bow down to PvE players and remove WvW from map completion, yet refuse to allow us to salvage our runes from our WvW gear………

OMG yes. SO much this, I wish I could give it +1,000.

“or so” is give or take 30 seconds. See, right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnTmBjk-M0c

Nope- less than two seconds after I dropped it. I had 10 supply, put 6 into it, and BOOM! Gone. It used to be that deployed sites were invulnerable for about 90 seconds or so.

According to http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Siege_weapon, “Supply Master” should grant that, as it says, “Deployed siege sites are invulnerable for a short duration.”

I just dropped a balista that was instantly one shotted by the opposition. When did this get nerfed? I checked the update notes and didn’t see any mention of this going back quite a way.

I hope not- that would be complete garbage. Why punish anyone who WANTS to do it? WvWers have to suffer because some PvEers don’t want to play their game mode?

Garbage.

My hope is that they get rid of PvDoor.

Working as intended. As Buttercup.5871 said above, please use this feature!

I like the idea of limited time buy orders. And Anet can take advantage of the listing fee as another gold sink. In the real world market, you can have the order set up to expire at the end of the day, end of the week, end of the month, or never. All our TP buy orders are GTC, or “good till cancelled”. All those one copper buy orders just clutter up the page. Can we set a limit on them in the future? Please?

There are still the remains of Scarlet’s energy robes all over the world and in WvW, so I’d guess they were left there for a reason.

I’ve said it before- If you want a “holy trinity”, I’m sure there are a lot of churches in your area that can give you one. But not this game,

Wait- so if I capture Stonemist once a day and never miss a day, it’ll take me a little over 68 years to get the title? (Been drinking- check my math?)

Will I still be playing GW2 when I’m 110 years old, or will I be playing “Guild Wars: Galaxies” by then?

I have AT&T and am having the same problem. It’s been a little over 2 hours, and I just hit 99%. Download keeps going to 0kb/sec and sitting there. Haven’t seen more than 46kb/sec.

I was quite surprised last night in WvW when after a fight at SE tower in our home BL where we first lost to 2 mesmers and an ele, then went and took the tower with them defending, one of the mesmers pm’d me and said, “Tell your party thank you for such a good fight!” We had a nice conversation for a while, thanking each other for a good fight and for being good sports. First tme I’d ever had a pm conversation in WvW that wasn’t trolling.

If you’re that ET sylvari mez, thank you for being such a good sport!

I’m surprised it took so many posts before someone mentioned how broken thief stealth really is. Combine that with backstab? Good times. That end really fast. Not to hijack the post, but imho, thief stealth should be in line with mesmer’s invis.

But as others have said, when in WvW, ask in map chat for people to come with you, and mention you are having problems with a thief. If there’s a condi mez on the map, I’ll wager they’ll come help you just so they can kill the thief.

nGumball.1283:

If we only had Tolkein as the lead writer..

Then we’d have entire episodes filled with descriptions of things, with nothing happening.

Good catch, Sarisa!

Snowreap.5174 covered it for those of us on Ebay. When we get new players in Wvw, they use the names on the map, but since those change with what color you are that week, we ask them to keep it simple and use cardinal directions. EBG is always the same, so names are used, usually abbreviated, like Brav, QL, SM, Spel, OW, Vel, etc.

Gotta admit, I love my mesmer’s perplexity runes when I come across a perma-stealth thief. I feel thief stealth is broken anyway (should be in line with a mesmer’s invis, imho), and the only ones that give me trouble are the cleanse on stealth thieves. But using Maimed the Disillusioned trait and stacking torment AND confusion is just too fun against thieves and warriors that are so used to face-rolling everyone in a 1v1 situation with their power builds. Coglin.1867 said it best above.

Interesting. A “new class” thread pops up, and a gameplay programmer responds with how he’d play it. Combine this with the PAX announcement speculation, and what do you get?

Two very fine examples of how the spear is used in combat:
from Troy, Achilles vs. Hector:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ62frK74u0

From Game of Thrones, The Red Viper of Dorne vs. The Mountain:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyOw7ScY4F4

Same here. Love the snowglobe- select it from the choices, go back to the equipment window, and it gets reset. If I stay on the “finishers” window and close it without changing to another tab, it seems to stay for one finisher, then resets to default.

Similar issue for me the other night- came in late and started on the third song. Every note I played was “missed”, I took damage for every note and was kicked, but got a score of 100 (perfect) for the song.

The “work around” is to cast TC first, as other speed boosts will stack on top of it if it’s cast first.

Shatter builds work much better, imho, with condi. Maim the Disillusioned is pretty awesome, and with perplexity runes can be even better.

Does anyone have a zerker shatter build?

We have guild armor and weapons, and the clipping issues with capes have been spoken about before, so I really don’t think we’ll see capes ever in this game.

JQ and FA are specifically Canthan, but I’d love to see something similar in this game. My guildies and I have been together for 8+ years from GW1, and we recently took a break from the GW2 Wintersday to go to GW1 Wintersday and do some of the greatest quest ever in any MMO in the universe, Snowball Dominance. Our goal was to have a 100% survival rate among our NPC’s, and we got that a lot. We went over to JQ after that, and there were so few playing, we got on the same game 90% of the time. That reminded me of the main thing I miss from GW1:

Build Templates.

I’d be happier if they were “A world boss” rather than a specific boss, and “X amount of events or gathering in ONE zone”, rather than in a specific zone.

It bothers me that my guardian can run (with speed boost) as fast as the bubbles from his scepter. It also bothers me that my mesmer scepter 3 takes so long to get off that 99.9% of enemies are dead before I can hit with it, unless I’m in a small fight or solo.

And +1 to anyone who mentioned shield.

Upon logging in tonight, I received an email from another player claiming to be a GM, saying my account would be “shut down or partially limited within 72 hours for improper currency transactions or abnormal login.” It also gave a website to log into to “contest” the ruling.

Just wanted to drop in here to warn others. Although there’s a warning at the bottom of the email that it was sent from another player and not the Anet team, some people may fall for the ruse. Please be careful.

dulfy.net has a boss timer linked at the top of the home page.

Battle Isles (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Battle_Isles) are the home of guild halls. As such, they are not part of the mists, but part of the world.

Building and upgrades cost gold and influence rather than guild comendations or guild merits to allow smaller guilds to build a gh without the burden of having to recruit and become larger just to get merits to build a hall. Perhaps influence in the Architecture line can be spent on building a Celestial Sigil (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Celestial_Sigil), to be used in the same manner as GW1.

GH initially comes with a button on the guild list, like gw1, travel to and from the GH wherever you may be in the world or mists. Owners are able to build asura gates to each racial capitol, LA, each color borderland, and Eternal Battle Grounds & EotM. Upgrade npc’s available are guild and personal banks and BLTP. Crafting stations and Mystic Forge are not included, as this would remove many people from racial capitols and other open world crafting stations. Banners may not be used in the gh, as this would remove them from the open world.

GH designs are taken as much as possible from gw1 designs, as their layouts have been proven successful, and include new racial themes for charr, asura, norn and sylvari. Check out these layouts and imagine gvg on these maps: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild_halls. The goal of this proposal is to give guilds not just a meeting place, but a place to gvg and duel. Without going into too much detail, the gvg is 10 vs 10 (attack squad and defense squad). This allows for larger fights than are available in tpvp’s 5v5.

Halls also include a Hall of Monuments to show off your guild’s accomplishments. Each champion in the world has a mounted head that can be displayed, with a counter beneath each one. Specific bonuses may be earned for repping guild members based on the number of times each champion has been killed. Your guild has participated in killing Tequatl 100 times? Your repping guild members receive a 10% gathering boost in Sparkfly Fen. Killed Claw of Jormag 1,000 times, repping guildmembers receive a 10% magic find boost in Frostgorge Sound. Certain bosses can combine kills to receive a bonus throughout Tyria. Example: 100 Zhaitan kills, 100 Teq, 100 Claw, 100 Shatterer kills = 10% magic find, gold, or gathering bonus throughout Tyria. Taking 100 Garrison, Hills, and Bay gives a similar WvW bonus.

In a past update, Anet was nice enough to get rid of the highly annoying camera spin when one was dead. Now with the respawn timer in WvW, that annoying spin is back. Can you PLEASE get rid of it again? Thank you, if so.

Healix.5819:

Raising the level cap was something they originally planned for and said if they were going to raise it, it would probably happen with an expansion.

No, no, no, no, and no. This is not, nor was it ever, true in any way, shape, or form. Why would you even think this when nothing was EVER said about raising a level cap? Anet has set the max level at 80, and it will stay there until the world ends. Characters past 80 get skill points. I have 2 mains, and even after spending 100’s of skill points on the many things we can spend skill points on, each of my mains has over 400 skill points.

Colin said in an interview a long time ago, “And I’m sure as we add expansion content we’re going to add more progression and add more levels to the game.”

I really don’t think he used the term “levels” in the manner some people think he did. He spoke of adding them “to the game”, not “to the character”. I think that makes a difference. If the level cap were raised, wouldn’t my lvl 80 guardian already be level 480+? Yes, he’s earned those skill points for each level earned past 80. Would my toon automatically be lvl 90 if they raised the cap to lvl 90? No, I’d bet not. Would this make ANY sense? Of course not.

Another one of these threads? (Insert “beating a dead horse” gif here.) I’m on a Tier 8 server for WvW, and while it may have taken a while, it is still doable. The thing is, you’re so used to running around in PvE where there’s no challenge to mapping that when it DOES become a challenge, you don’t like it because you can’t accomplish it as easy as mapping Queensdale.

Here’s a suggestion: Ask in map chat if anyone else needs a POI or vista that you need. If there are people that do need it, group with them and go get it or take it. Keep your eye on the matchups to see when your server has a Borderland you need to map. Yes, its a pain when your server is the same color for 3 weeks in a row, but it WILL change at some point. The WvW community is a fun bunch, and most likely will group with you to help. You’ll also get good loot. Every time you gain a WvW level, you get a rank up chest with cash and drops, each tower gives a champ loot bag, and you get ascended crafting mats if you’re level 80.

Are you upleveled when you go to WvW? It might help to be level 80 with full exotics all around, and food buffs. If you haven’t yet leveled up your crafting to 400 chef, and whatever armor and weapons you use, do that first so you’re not spending your hard earned gold on food buffs, armor, and weapons. You get achievement points for it, too. These forums have good topics on WvW builds for your class, so check those out as well. I’ll wager that when you get with a group that takes that tower you need the POI from, and stick with them when they take Bay, Hills, or Garrison on a Borderlands map, or a few other towers or camps, you’ll be hooked on the unique fun that is WvW.

One suggestion: always have supply!
