Guild Wars 2

Staff and shield are my favs. Bought staff, got a bid in for shield. <3

Does the gem store have decoder rings?

There’s a couple of hair styles I’d use for sure if it weren’t for that issue. Good question! I’m not going to stress over it, but it would be nice to have more options in the future.

The profession stacking on one side is awesome!

Not.

I’d love more emotes, but I’d love to see some WvW and PvP fixing even more. :p

Thanks for keeping us updated! A few people in our GW2 FB group reported issues today, and I posted this thread there for them to keep an eye out.

RodOfDeath.5247:

An interesting question: Do you guys find its harder these days to recruit people for small roaming/havoc guild than before with the new BLs? I felt like I had better luck in the past I guess. Maybe player population has more to do with it?

Much much harder, for sure!

If you’re constantly getting your butt kicked by DHs, adjust your build. It’s really that simple.

Blockhead Magee.3092:

You definitely want to keep an eye on Reddit. You are much more likely to find useful communication from Anet staff there then you are here.

Sadly, that does seem to be the case lately, and I’ve been keeping an eye out more there, rather than here.

Necro’d thread, but here’s my 2 copper. I love the skin, and if or when it goes on sale separately and not within the bundle, I’ll buy it for sure.

I’ve talked to a bunch of people that want it, but can’t afford the entire bundle. I can afford it, but I don’t want to have to buy things I don’t want or need just to get the glider.

Yalora Istairiea.6287:

… so they may be working to bring the rest of us into the fold shortly.

One can only dream.

Indeed. I’ve been running into a lot of discouragement regarding smallish guilds making little to no progress. Even worse, people that are in huge guilds are telling people that prefer small guilds to either join a big guild or shut up about it.

As far as I’m concerned (and I have stated this in other threads re same), I miss having access to my own WvW upgrades. After all, not all WvW guilds let you have permissions to access said upgrades. RIP my former small havoc guild.

BlueBoy.1236:

I really really really really doubt old wvw maps will bring back ppl to play wvw

It would. It really, really would.

EremiteAngel.9765:

That is why I was suggesting to fine-tune the current BL

It would be better to bring back Alpine during said fine tuning.

I input my email and pw, see a loading circle then… nothing.

Game shows up in task manager, but it’s not loading at all. Any idea what the issue is? It was working last night as of approximately 11 p.m. eastern time.

Is this a dragon dating site? Tail swipe right?

sniffle It’s gone.

Yes. please, for the time being.

Trajan.4953:

Wow…. just Wow.

I don’t even..

^^^ That ^^^ and… (re original post) what the freaking fudge did I just read?

@Swagger. Nailed it.

I’d rather the team work on existing issues going on in WvW. If I recall correctly, one of EotM’s primary purposes was for something to do while in queue for a WvW map? And most everyone I know uses it primarily for leveling, so I don’t see the priority of changing EotM over fixing WvW issues.

Straegen.2938:

While gliders might be interesting IMO there are many more bigger fish to fry first.

Couldn’t have said it better.

Anyone that didn’t see that coming with ppk? :p

I’d like to see the outfits changed to separate pieces like the previously sold armor skin sets for more diversity.

style.6173:

The banner is just more gimmicks that are not needed in WvW. They need to encourage open field fights and tower attack and tower defense. The key is players. Not siege, not banners, but actual players. ANET has lost focus on that at some point.

I couldn’t agree more.

The Keep Lord in that keep is notorious for being more outside than inside. That’s one of the prices to pay for being green.

jk jk :p

I wouldn’t mind having Alpine back until some changes are made.

I made a thread about this awhile back, and I was called lazy. It would be nice to have templates like GW1 had, though, to more quickly change armor, weapons and traits for different game modes/areas.

I would like to see the outfits as separate pieces. There’s no uniqueness, since after the first day each new one is available, everyone pretty much looks the same, except for the dyes.

Bullet points 1-3 are fine. Bullet point 4 isn’t. I prefer no changes to rallies. Just my 2 copper. :p

I’ve posted in a couple other threads on the same topic.

Some of these are impossible for me to do with the higher ping spikes in HoT maps, and not for lack of trying. I do think extra time would be better for that reason.

It would also help for these not to be locked.

Claire (quote from Jurassic World):

“We have an asset out of containment!”

Timed restraints, locked behind events and high ping in HoT maps. I need a few more for max Exalted and it’s not looking good, not for lack of trying on my part.

Love GW2, but these “adventures” notsomuch. When they were first announced, I thought okay cool, a little something for extra achievements, not something that would get in the way of game progression for a lot of people, including myself.

AWACS.6537:

My issue is that the selection of adventures are just mini games.

I’d prefer them to interesting challenges instead of time trials.

Same here. The lag is killing it for me getting mastery points.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve already wasted a good chunk of time trying to find those two areas. :/

saturn.4810:

Server merges would be the straightforward solution. Atm there’s too many servers for the current WvW population.

But I’ve read a few posts from people in lower tiers with low population that like it there, and are completely against merges.

So what about you transfering to a higher tier?

I agree.

What I’ve seen for a long, long time is people from lower tiers pushing for a “solution” when they already have viable options. A. Recruit guilds to their server. B. Transfer up.

People need to stop asking for population solutions that affect the upper tiers. We are where we want to be.

The upper tiers are just fine, thank you very much. I think it’s safe to say most people are pretty much happy in the upper tiers or else we would have transferred down.

If people refuse to transfer up and stay in lower tier servers, it stands to reason they won’t like a WvW megaserver. If anything (and this has been said over and over and OVER… some of the lower tiers should be merged.

So.

No thanks.

This absolutely needs to stay on the front page!!!

I really don’t understand why this wasn’t incorporated into WvW. It’s frustrating as hell when I forget to loot. This is basic, and there’s no reason to not have it for WvW.

I really don’t know why it’s so hard for people to understand why people want their personal bank guilds or small guilds.

I don’t speak for everyone, but kitten , I did like to have access to banners and guild siege from my personal guild, something I don’t have in the freaking bigger WvW guilds I’m in.

Stop trying to shove “get in a big guild, that’s what the game was meant for” down our throats. We get it. But… understand that is what we had been given for the past 3 years, and we had access to things we had unlocked (as I said, guild siege and banners, etc.)

Now we don’t.

Test.8734:

Walhalla.5473:

and implement a better System to join Maps that have Ppl in there ( There are in fact many People who play on HoT Maps ), like the District System in GW1.

This is what puzzles me. The same district system we had in GW1 would have been perfect here. Letting people know that there are other maps and that you can easily travel to them (until they’re full), with a numbering system so you know which map to go to if you want a full one (to map 1, if it’s full to map 2, and so on), would solve a large amount of issues here.

I wonder if ArenaNet can’t do that because of technical reasons… Of if they are afraid to do it because that would allow every player to see how many instances of a given map there are at any given time.

We did have a better system, in my opinion. We guested to a higher pop server. Just my 2 copper, I found it far easier than trying to catch taxis before they poof. It’s like trying to catch fish with bare hands.

Joe, I saw you there and saw you say that was your 28th time in /m. I was there for the 6th time myself, and highly discouraged to see that you had tried so many times.

I don’t mind a few times, but unlike, say, VW for RNG armor, which occurs more frequently, it’s a PITA to hit up Shatt much more seldom and not get the item.

I used to enjoy my own guild, to represent when my main WvW guilds weren’t raiding. I gained influence and ran upgrades to make banners and guild siege to use.

I do not have permissions to do that in the WvW guilds I’m in.

I’m not sure why that’s so hard for people to understand those of us that want to be able to have our own guild halls.

Ooooo fancy! Good job!

Yay! Spread the word, folks, and set aside the date! <3

Hm. Now that would be annoying getting party invites from gold sellers.

Offline should not be detectable if someone wants to have some “quiet time,” as I do, from time to time. I often get in-game mails from people saying “What are you doing?” or “Why are you set to offline?”

Seriously, it would be nice to change that feature so that the invisible is actually invisible.

Please fix this. It’s pretty obnoxious. :/

Great idea. I hope this is implemented in the future, maybe a part of guild builds. It would be a great option, as opposed to making a whole other guild.

This one was announced. I grabbed mine after I read the update notes.

There’s a guy in WvW that blocks everyone while he trolls just about everyone for no reason at all. Real disgruntled guy, for those able to read his comments. He also “disappears” for days at a time.

Having said that, a few people mentioned that there can be temp bans based on having a high number of blocks. Thought I’d ask here if there was any penalty for it.

At any rate, I sure am sick of blocking these gold seller donkey chapeaus.
It’s going to get worse near the expansion too. :/ Hopefully something can get done before then.

Woot! <3 Pink Day!!!!!

I was getting hardly any lag and upwards of 90-110 FPS until the September patch of last year. Hopefully there will be a significant improvement for WvW.
