Guild Wars 2

Cross server idea was fine, just need to tune it out a bit.

1. Less NPCs, especially champions
2. Less automated siege
3. Less fall damage deaths
4. Population imbalance (dont stack winning/biggest server on green side, make colors truly random)

At this point in a game you can just remove all borderlands and leave EB map for those who want to fight for their server. Make more cross server maps!

Oh look! another GvG thread to be ignored by ANet

you generally want
- 1 guard for reflect/aegis
- 1 warrior for banners

others are optional
- ele for might/fury stacking and reflects
- mesmer for reflects and TW
- ranger for spirit of frost (but no ranger runs it anyways so you wanna kick any ranger that joins your group)

if its a pug group i would recommend go 1 warrior and 4 guardians unkillable combo

My guess is that those icons represent your achievement points or WvW rank.

Why dont we have something like that here? It was suggested many times on forums.

At this point I also think that this rarity is intended and this is probably gonna be first of a kind item

In other words: rich people will probably get more exclusive skins is the future

It might very well be working as intended since they didnt provide any official comments yet and didnt patch it.

Might be just one of a kind item, or maybe the first of a kind.

Same bug for me – item is soulbound

you can do 5 gambits on Tyre as a zerker staff ele.

I used 6/4/2/0/2 (lava font on downed trait op) set up, full zerk.
Summon fire ele elite at start (i think u still can use elemental powder as well?).

Rotation is the following: Water 2, Air 3-5-2, Earth 3-4-2, Fire 2-5-3-2, when he finally gets to you do 180 turn and Fire 4. Most likely you will get downed but that double lava font will kill him

Utilities: Arcane Wave, Arcane Power, Arcane Blast

Good luck!

I bought my recipe yesterday off BLTP for 1200g buy order, so they do drop just super rare – literally 1-3 recipes per day across all servers. One on mln chance or smth like that

There was no recipes sold on TP in the last 24 hours.

Any comments from devs?

guys I have opened 1300+ bags so far and only got 2 Favors of Pavilion.

I estimate the total number of gauntlet chances obtained by community as a few millions with only 2-5 recipes existing in game to date. So the chance should be 1/1mln roughly (maybe a few degrees less).

I got a response from support team that item is currently “working as intended” and no comments from devs on forums.

This is kinda ridiculous but let it be i guess

NA guilds temporarily transferred to EU for GvG. But i wouldnt say they had a good experience since EU guilds refused to GvG them at NA prime and ping was like 300+. That’s basically where all EU>NA chest thumping coming from.

I would like to see some EU GvG guild to transfer to NA to play with us

you forgot mango pie trays!

this thread even funnier than the previous one.

most people come to EOTM to level alts / farm WXP – this is just a simple fact.

1. the fastest way of grinding WXP is to flip objectives. Even for OG – you can kill FR/BL 2-3 times and they stop dropping WXP for you. Let em flip your corner, port back and you get kitten load of WXP right at your waypoint

2. guilds who “farm bags” just bring their names into discredit. its quite obvious that pug zerg without comms can do nothing about semi-pug zerg with comms even on even numbers. people who do that might be just mad cause of season place #4 (hi BG!) or smth else. go do GvG if you want “fights”

3. while EOTM might be good for farming kills for Ultimate Dominator most pugs are already familiar with what guild groups hunting them down can do – so they just leave map after a few wipes. New pugs join to produce new bags

Just look at their score – seems like they have super stacked mega-BG server out there. Would be interesting to see queues on the other servers from that screenshot

Its not a breach of anything my friend.

Its servers with lower population density finally started to work together and play the game the way it was intended: WvWvW. There are three W’s in there for a good reason. You’d better respect the fact that PPT players finally started thinking out of the box and use something called strategy and politics.

Yes, your server with population #1 will be placed #3 or even #4 this season. Maybe you should think about it before you start new season and before you start buying guilds, organizing server blackouts and all other fun stuff that hurts PPT feelings

Maybe stacking as many players in one spot as possible is not the only winning strategy for ppt game!
Just think about it for a minute

1 AC will never hold off a zerg if they have half a brain cell.

5 sup ACs can. But 5 people sitting in one place for 4 hr without AFK just to fire AC should be considered complete inbreds

My dear Friend,
You can always find “pvp” in the following places:
- spvp or tpvp – very competitive environment for any skill lvl, no gear or lvl requirement. You can try hotjoin to learn it
- any WvW map. Depending on your server and coverage some maps can be less active

EOTM in its current state is just a huge karma train. The reasons are the following:
- big rewards for flipping objectives (thats why people busy flipping)
- small rewards for defending objectives (thats why noone is defending)
- small rewards for killing enemy players (less than flipping, see above)
- ZERO rewards for winning the match (noone cares who is on top of that table at the end)
- option to change map or leave at any given time (i.e. if “losing”)

If you like defending in EOTM “because its fun” do the following:
1. Find any tower/keep of your color
2. Build an AC
3. Watch for train to come flip it
4. Optional: get some bags
5. Inevitable: die when they break in

Hope it helps

Rally mechanics massively promotes zerging and completely negates all the efforts of “small roaming group” vs zerg. You cannot “snipe” or “focus target” anyone in the zerg as a small group. Even if you do get someone down – you will never be able to finish that person. And this is a part of the reason why WvW zerg is pretty much a “melee train meat ball”

downed state is fine, UNLIMITED RALLY IS NOT

Unlimited rally? last time that happened i just rally’ed 5 times after that went directly to defeated state.

I mean that unlimited number of players will rally on one dead opponent. The only condition – all of them have to sneeze on that player within the last XXX min. This is very dumb. Fully dead person should be able to rally one person max within 600 range max.

They just need to make it more casual friendly and thats it!

World 3 was pretty much an island surrounded by freaking abyss – thats why it was painful even on normal mode

Also account bound dailies are not cool – character bound is the way to go

I just figured that new llama finisher plays SAB song.

Does that mean that SAB coming back?

downed state is fine, UNLIMITED RALLY IS NOT

AFAIK, you can delete all your characters and transfer for free

if you just bought this game this wont be a problem

Josh please come back! We love you!

Any news on SAB coming back? Its been awhile and we really miss it!

Questions:

1. If the map you wanna get in is full – will you be able to QUEUE UP for it? (like we do in WvW now)
2. How does it affect event timers? Will I be able to TRACK MAP STATUS like we do now (events etc)
3. General question: will I be able to SWITCH MAPS freely? Any interface for that?

TTS doing 6 min run every day – no achievement for anyone participating

All people I know of got achievement randomly due to some bug.

Achievement hunters are crying river over that – this is the only achievement currently awarded randomly due to a bug. Might as well rename it – participate in knights event, 1% chance to get an achievement

GvG arena becomes very popular in NA, obsidian Sanctum is queued on Mag/SoS/FA.

Tonight we have 4 different GvGs (8 guilds) scheduled at the same time

Can we have an overflow for this map?

Thank you

Anyone got this achievement legit?

All people I know got credit due to the bug. My best record was like 6:20

I think this achievement needs to be fixed and requirements need to be tweaked

The best advice I can give you: re-roll while its not too late!

you can go classic dagger/dagger 0/10(I)/0/30(III, IX,XI)/30(II,VIII,XI) with zerker armor – tons and damage and sustain

signet of restoration as heal
utilities depend on what you doing (open world pve, dungeons etc) – you can grab arcane shield, armor of earth, frost bow, lightning flash, elite ele to tank for you

Rynn.1324:

I know I’m probably going to make some heads explode with this, but….some of us play a build because we enjoy it, not because it’s the best min/max solution.

Thats totally cool – you can play whatever you want in Queensdale karma train. Wurm is a very hard emcounter atm with very tight dps check, most attempts lacking 5-10% DPS usually – its those shout heal warriors and AH celestial guardians who do not put their weight and dragging entire raid of 150 people down.

Zerker is the most viable build when it comes to dps check, people just need to learn to dodge and stop being bad.

P.S. LOL at shout heal warrior and other bearbows in this thread

Well the “difficulty” is fine IMO. Just because all the difficulty put into phase 1 (which is truly challenging and amazing). Phase 2 is just a buggy mess which needs to be fixed for this event to be consistent and playable.

Yeah, im a very casual player with 16 legendaries and 16+k achievement point. Please stop attacking me personally and get to the point – in the nearby thread a lot of people admit that all successful attempts happened due to scaling bug abuse (intentional or not).

We in TTS killed wurm twice tonight. Both successful attempts ended with 40-50 sec on timer. Please do not tell me that suddenly we started doing 300% more damage than we were doing in the past 2 weeks

Something is wrong with boss HP if DPS is so inconsistent and this has to be looked at by development team.

it almost like there was some ninja patch tonight like 4 HR ago

Thank you ANET!

moiraine.2753:

The OP should ask himself the following question before making such statements – Is every content made for casuals?
Right now the worm is not hard if you have a dedicated server and guild focussed on raiding it.Desolation,Blackgate(servers) or TTS,TxS(Alliances) which are focused specifically on the PVE content with raid difficulty.The worm was killed by them at least once some have killed it twice.

Wurm has only been killed 4 (four) times across all servers. Phase 2 is just stupid and frustrating especially after you got all the shenanigans with coordination done. Its pure luck, you basically need all the stars aligned perfectly (boss stuck in one spot, scaling not bugged or bugged in your favor) to get through it.

I am afraid with current success ratio event will be abandoned in a matter of days. It is already abandoned by everyone except TTS on NA server, i dont even see BG doing it anymore

The Troubleshooter sounds cool! Also in line with Tequatl title

Neoheart.2750:

If my point is weak please explain to me what exactly an overflow is and why it is required.

Also when they guest they ARE on that server and proceed to camp the event zone’s spending the 1h30 min between events raging and being abusive because they are not being carried.

Overflow is a mirror map that is generated only when main map is full. It is required to prevent performance issues.

Your issues with certain players are hardly related to overflows. If any player was abusive to your you are free to report him

And once again – guests have no priority, guests cannot get into main map if it is queued. Also guests cannot be kicked from the map if they are already in – maybe this is what you want

Guests do not have any priority. In fact guest physically cannot join main server from the overflow – you are getting an error message

Your point is weak sorry

Looks like wurm HP jumps between 30% and 300% of “normal” values

Minae Iss.7054:

Ah we had a perfect example today , but I dont think anone was capturing it. Full zerg at amber, going to the base of the worm and trowing it all at him. Got to 80%. Again. Harpoons and whatnot. Again doing the exact same thing, to 60%. Again harpoonfase. Back to the wurm and boom, in 10 seconds it was to 1%. There was no change in tactics, no change in zergsize, no change in overall elementalist weapon drops.

This happens in TTS raids all the time. Sometimes we barely drop 10%HP, sometimes its 50%+ – same zerg, same might stacks, same ele weapons. We also have a person in TS who sometimes tells us what exact HP wurm has (dont ask me how) – and he reports that HP jumps from 3kk to 15kk for no apparent reason

You are fighting some T5-8 scrub pugs who never interrupt you, scared of pushing your group and pretty much let you freecast on them for the entire time.

I would like to see this build work in organized WvW or GvG.

GW2 handles SLI terribly. Just a few knows know bugs that are not addressed since release
- glitched flickering party frames
- client crash in WvW/world boss fights

Its a shame that i had to disable SLI due to those bugs

Seems like people do not quite understand why dungeon groups stack where all this “all melee” concept comes from.

Its quite simple.

1.The radius for buffs/heals in GW2 is 180-360 units, meaning that if you not literally stacked on top of each other in melee range – you wont receive those useful buffs (might, fury, aegis, heals etc). Person kitten ing at 900+ range literally does less damage than those who stacked. This gets even worse if you remember that all melee weapons in this game superior to ranged.

2.The other reason is that stacking allows you to control boss’ positioning better. Since aggro is wonky, there is no “tanks” in this game boss can be literally on anyone. Thats why people just stack in front of him to avoid him moving/rotating like crazy – this makes dodging/avoiding certain skills easier

Other games have tanks, and dps/heals usually wanna be nowhere close to boss with deadly AOEs. Other games have noticeably bigger raduis for friendly spells and bigger duration for buffs. IE you rarely have to renew major party buff more often than every 5-10 min, in GW2 you literally have to spam those blast finishers on fire field every few sec to maintain max stacks

Guys you missing the root cause of the issue.

Downed state is fine, MASS RALLY IS NOT

My Sylvari is also red

Downed state is fine, rally mechanics is not. Rally mechanics favors larger groups/zergs (even if you manage to down someone chances that to finish him are non-existant)

They need to change it so 1 person can only rally 1 opponent withing 600 range, not entire enemy zerg on the other side of the map.

Problem solved.

as long as gem prices going up game is not dead
