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).

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.

Server population/transfer fee...

SkyChef.5432

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.

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.

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.

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.

Duelers in WvW and attitudes

Posted by: SkyChef.5432

SkyChef.5432

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.

Best type of armor for dmg oriented ranger?

Posted by: SkyChef.5432

SkyChef.5432

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.

My LB ranger

My SB ranger

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.

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.

How do you make lots of gold in WvW?

SkyChef.5432

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.

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.

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.
