It’s hilarious how many fixes get reverted then fixed again, then reverted, etc. (another example is necro minion AI; they break and get fixed every other patch).
Revolving door in janitorial dept?
The thread Jim mentioned is the DR/HOD/BP 10-31 thread.
Those are the same guys who plague our matchup for a whole week (NSP-CD-HoD). How did you manage to get dev attention? Or was it luck?
No idea. I’m not the one reported them but I guess whoever sent the video, sent it to Chris Leary, as someone has mentioned in the attached post regarding to dungeon griefing which Chris promptly took care of the issue.

Googling on GW2 hacks, visiting a couple of websites that provide them and then reading their forums on those hacks you can gain a picture of the number of people that are actually using them or attempting to use them and it is ugly.
I did find something interesting reading the forums on one of the hack programs out there.. Certain things have been masked so as to keep it clean but this reply was from on of the developers of a certain hack program.
“Then try to manually inject the DLL (*.dll in “bin” directory into Gw2.exe)"
So the question is, and I am not a computer programmer, if they are injecting a dynamic link library into the Gw2 executable, would it not alter/change the size of that executable and would not a simple size check during login prevent a good chunk of these hacks?
Just asking!
They don’t alter GW2’s files. They just intercept the executing codes from the running process and alter the data.
I caught a few guys hacking, took a couple screenshots, sometimes if I have fraps loaded, a video. They knew I caught them but I told them I am no longer care. Do whatever they want to do, if it makes them feel better. I Just announce on map chat to pay attention to such guild w/ such mesmer when they are around towers etc.
I also know what tool they used to go through wall, running speed hack just above 33% so they don’t raise any suspicion, FoV hack, and things like that. It’s better to keep everybody in the dark so if you lose, you always think the other player are better, right?
Something needs to be done about this Nemesis guy brainwashing all of these poor people. This has been going on long enough.
If they don’t open their own brains for that guy to dump trash into, you can’t just blame Nemesis for his half job done.
People has been on welfare for so long that any crumb is still good nutrition.

That’s a $22.50 question for you.
Have you been asked to voluntarily move to another instance and then like 10 min later, being asked to move again? If you really got lucky, you could be asked 3 times in a row.
That’s also a $22.50 question for you.
Have you been an instance at your home world, then guest to another populated world, then guest to another less populated world and found the commander tag on that map is under the same name?
That’s another $22.50 question for you too.
I don’t have any answer for these but I think Anet has all the data in the world to prove that the servers’ population is very high.
What kind of a school produce such a programmer so players have to find a work around? Literature major?
I have seen this on its first day, and up to this day, no one could refute the OP? Seriously?
On the 2nd note, Anet, please keep all the interns who have been involving in taking care of the warrior class, after the main architect of this game has left. We do not want you throwing those priceless experience away and start it all over again. Thank you.
Ed: I just want to bring this thread up on the front page for those who want to defend the warrior’s nerfs to have some thoughtful materials to read before mindlessly blah, blah…blah.

For those who don’t believe hacking existing in GW2, there is a place you can get hack app as a premium member. Every hacks people described here is there. I won’t tell you what it is but if you know how the net operates, you should find it pretty easily.
Ed: As for zoom hacks w/ many monitors, it’s just another Anet’s incompetency because it should never be allowed but I doubt if they know how to fix it as w/ many issues w/ collision detection. Fix your ****, Anet.

Looks like it is P2W now.

Sorry, u guys have to wait for the next living story update (maybe?). It’s very hard to fix the missing leg because they don’t teach how to do that in literature major courses.
Well you guys, look at the bright side. Having Zefrost as a developer is as good as having Anet developers today. He can do no worse and much cheaper.
The new patch screwed up the UI as indicated above.
You guys need security blanket this bad?
I was spending several hours trying to understand AA through reading & watching videos after reading the OP. AA is a total riot both in game & in the official forum. It will probably end up as a GvG game and it’s not for the light heart because everything is up for grabs, including hiring merc to raid other farms, killing anyone you don’t like etc.
I played it a bit last night and the queue is LOOONG.
Edited: And quite a few blob guilds in AA would be eaten alive by any decent GvG guild.

What else isn’t broken in this game?
Try yolomouse
Yeah, Try that instead of waiting couple more years for color change from Anet plus another 100 golds.
Something tell me that Anet people is like HS kids being given a key to all accesses of a nuclear reactor.
If it took more than 1 year to change the tag’s color, it would take forever to add a timer.
Nice general advice for a new war.
I copy and post it in our eBay forum. I hope that the new warrior should learn the rope well before start playing the zerker mode.
Congratulation to you & your family. You all earned your DM in the most spectacular way in my book.
That’s a lot of works into it Dek but you can do it while sleeping.
Questions for you, Dek:
1) How do you determine best rotation of a class? through programming like a bubble sort or by experience?
2) Is it hard to modify your spreadsheet for different purpose like pvp or WvW? I’m not going to do this for GW2 but I have Camelot Unchained in mind (I’m their serious backer). I would like to see how you structure your spreadsheet (if I can) so I can model it for CU but I can also start at ground zero, if you can give me some quick tips.
Good work, Dek.

That’s so cool.
The Parrot is truly OP in 1v1, it evades attacks and crits for 2k on a zerker. BirdBow warrior OP.
lol. BirdBow War is the new meta.
The Dolyak trap: Triggered by a pre-determined number of players. Turned them into a bunch of dolyaks in 10s.
(edited by SkyChef.5432)
Buy a bunch of traps.
Yesterday, something happened have changed the way I conduct in WvW regard to duel. I was in EBG and far behind a player I’ve known from our server.I saw him turn cornered running passed a thief from other server standing there. Not sitting down as an indication of a spectator.
Once I got to the corner I’ve seen him fighting w/ another player from the same server with the thief. Naturally I thought it’s a duel so I strafed to the left side and having my eyes on both the duel & the thief standing there. Within a second, he downed that player then suddenly, the thief went to steal and back stab our player. Our player health bar literally dropped down to zero. Needless to say, I jumped right into the fray. Thief like that is mostly no skill.
No more nice guy. Red is Dead. Until being asked to stop.
TyPin: AFAIK, they don’t stomp on duel.

Hey Dxnice,
I haven’t done PvE stuffs for a long time but I’m pretty sure beserker gears still rule the PvE scene. I have completely equipped my 7 other classes for PVE & WvW and it’s so expensive. So when I started to equip my ranger for WvW, I came up w/ these pieces economically.
PS: Thanks gawker for his original LB build & Slavi for his SB build. I swapped builds depending on situations. You can get the cavalier trinkets at Balthazar temple. It’s very minimum and you can improve it w/ expensive stuffs if you like.
Which build do you use for what?
Which for WvW roaming?
And which for zergs?
I mainly use SB build for solo/roaming & small group. And LB build for zergs.

Must be very hard to change the codes for it take a long time to change.

Devon ain’t WvW coordinator anymore. Got promoted to competitive design lead for pvp, wvw and balance.
So the guy who thought buffing arrow carts and rams was a good idea is now also in charge of balance. May god have mercy on our soul.
haha. Surely you joke.
OMG. No wonder GW2 is so “awesome”. I just read the guy’s CV.

I can predict how tournaments come out with 99.9% certainty if the Chinese servers are allowed to play w/ NA & EU servers.
Anet decided to throw away the common pool of resource dictating rate of damage ouput and movement restriction to implement ad hoc design of throwing sticky stuffs on the wall to see what would work. The classes will never be balanced in anything. And players will find someway to make lemonade out of a lemon. It’s pointless to say it’s a lemon because it’s a lemon.

Anet has a huge vision of what the game combat are supposed to be. Great in theory but bad in application.
(edited by SkyChef.5432)
I’m still at work. You are a rich woman?
The one you posted yesterday is about the same time.
I did 3 CoEs paths today to gear up my WvW Engie (thank you Iris for helping me w/ 1) and it daunts on me that I made more golds on 3 CoEs path in 1 hr than doing WvW many hours for 3 days.
Look at my signature.
You can come to Ehmry Bay now. We have no blob left so no more bad influences.
EBAY is a place to hone your skills in fighting w/o waiting.
It costs nothing when you die. Not even an armor repair bill.
Join us to take the advantage of Anet’s generosity because opportunity like this won’t last for long.

There is a couple groups/guilds in dungeon sub forum will teach you how to do dungeons with them. They are nice and easy going people and you should try to learn the easy one 1st (it’s AC dungeon and CoF path1). You will get the hang of it in no time and with 1hr or less to spend, you could net 4-5 golds a day easily. Dungeons and fractals are fun and challenged too. Just try to remember one thing: the skills, techniques and gears used in WvW have no place in PvE. Once you get enough gold, use 1 class (war or guard) and gear up that one for PvE only so you don’t have to change traits.

This is what I use because I don’t want to grind for celestial armors
You can use exotic back and buy asc rings & amulets from WvW vendor. Daggers are Cavalier/Valkyrie (mixed of both: your choices). Buff food is minotaur steak if you want 80% crit damage.
Anet has a vision and their vision is blurry.
I wish the polar bear special attack should be made longer to include the animation the bear opens his fridge, takes out an ice cube and puts into enemy’s pant. Right now it’s too short and boring so no one is watching it.
BearBow? meh. Try SpitBow. So OP. My spider spits poison into an empty area and half wit WvW players rolling into it. All the time.
Even the risens in Cursed Shore are smarter than that. Especially the nobles.
I can say that I did all GW2 modes at veteran level from WvW to dungeons/fractals (not the cheapy & cheesy ways) and I have to say, GW2 WvW can’t hold a candle to TESO AvA.
The only thing good about by GW2 is I only pay $60+ but I pay $60 +sub for TESO just to play the AvA mode and that said something about B2P in my opinion.
I can’t say much about TESO dungeons because the they only reveal the beginner’s dungeon. However, I always think GW2 dungeons are the best and GW2 dungeons/fractals have been screwed by incompetent people.

Never seen a disclaimer like those made by Tree in years of internet dated way back in BBS time.
I have taken the liberty to ban myself from the forum and will also ban myself from GW2 at the end of this month.
Exactly my point. It’s basically a crafting material. Why can’t I sell it via TP like other materials?
Because they want you to buy more bank tabs?
Use teleport skill (leap etc) when she starts attacking. That will land you next to her and hit F.
It won’t be long now, just like several of us warned several times, ANET only has to worry when people stop complaining….I see less and less complaining these days, and more of the “what the hell happened here” posts…..
The time is now to make some massive improvements, and none of those have to do with Living Story. (I personally would focus on balancing matches – Less coverage wars and making it less viable to just ball up with 80 people and zerg everything down) WvW is your end game, Living Story is something we do for money/skins.
TESO will be great for ANET because it might give them the competition they have lacked thus far.
I used to tell my people at work that when a customer is complaining that means they still want to do business w/ you. People who quit, they just disappear. And they said nothing.
