Guild Wars 2

I think that WvW is very good.

I’ve been PvP’ing in a number of games for years and consider myself a PvP’er over PvE’er… however, I really don’t like GW2’s sPvP for some reason…

However, loving GW2 in general, I found myself continuing to play. I just found myself doing a lot more PvE than I expected. Until I joined my first WvW battle about a week ago.

I’ve been doing several hours of WvW per day since then, have found a very friendly guild out of the experience, and have learned that there is a lot more to it than zerging doors, if you’re willing to run with the right people.

I feel that it should be changed in WvW.

Recently, when I was on late at night, there we only 3 of us in EB. We got hit by a 20-30 man zerg. So, we were defending langor like crazy and it was actually going ok. Between arrow carts & my elementalist AoE, we were not only downing players but defeating them (I was getting badges for it).

But guess what… when you’re against that many people, it takes a very short time to bring people back up from even a defeated/“dead” state. So, it doesn’t matter what we tried… they just kept getting back up!

There needs to be a limit on brez (battle rez) per battle. In WoW you can only chuck out a brez so many times per ‘in combat’ state. Normal rez’ing can be done whenever, but requires being out of combat.

When the gate finally feel, despite earning a pile of badges, that zerg was no smaller than it was at the start. In such a situation, there is essentially no consequence to the zerging players for being defeated.

hawkster.2607 is the spybot that’s present whenever we have DR in our tier. It just sits there running the same script over and over so it doesn’t get logged out. The account has been reported for botting dozens of times and ANET just ignores it. Pretty pathetic.

As a DR player, I am very sorry to hear about this. I agree that it is a pathetic thing to do.

However, it will be only relaying information to a certain group/guild. I’ve never seen someone giving out insider info while in WvW – and if I did I would report them instantly.

Just signed on to try play my elementalist some more. This problem is still persisting.

Back to where I’ve been since last posting here – WoW.

It may not have all the new bells & whistles GW2 has but at least it’s playable.

EDIT: Kill some wolves, try mine an ore, they’re back before I’ve finished mining. Seriously?

Ok, I’ve been having this problem again. Again, in Lornar’s Pass but in a different area this time. And slightly in general, but mostly the problem is in Lornar’s pass for me.

I’m on a new toon this time, my ranger, and the re-spawn is unbelievably high. I can’t explore because killing a mob counts for absolutely nothing – it will be back in literally ten seconds. It ruins my immersion and ruins my ability to properly explore/enjoy the area.

I was getting frustrated with this and went to open the support tab to make a ticket about it and was getting attacked again before I could even start typing (keeping in mind that I’d just cleared the area I was in).

Re-spawn this high may be so that if multiple people are in the area they can all have mobs to kill, but I’m finding it to be a huge hindrance and tbh its putting me off the game completely. I stopped playing my elementalist mid-30s due to this issue and now I’m getting well sick of my ranger too… and I’m realising its the area, not the toons that I dislike.

Please do something about this.

I just got the profane set a couple of days ago and extremely support more options being available, especially skimpy outfits for more than just cloth ;P

there are so many options for cloth wearers but so few for others, particularly leather

I’ve been having trouble all over with this from time to time, and just read another thread where someone was commenting on a similar problem. But, here we go…

I was having trouble the other day in Lornar’s pass with Dredge respawning WAY to quickly (like maybe ten seconds). So, I was going into a cave and killing them off as I went and they’d respawn behind me pretty much instantly and gang attack me like that. I was defeated multiple times before I gave up and went elsewhere.

Someone was also talking about random events where you’ll be hit by so many enemies that there’s just no chance of survival. Now, I understand that events are dynamic (so compared to WoW, where I am from, they are much harder to stabalise because of their dynamic nature), but its pretty painful when this happens.

I just think you need to look into the respawn times of the dredge’s on Lornar’s Pass and also a few other spots that I’ll happily continue to note if you are interested in listening. Because I’ve had this a few times and while it sounds minor it pretty much makes it impossible to play, when you’re just constantly swarmed by them.

Thanks heaps for the guide. Its working for me now and having a great time with it.

My problem was that I was moving the playlists from the media player directory and into the GW2 folder myself. using media player, save the playlist to the directory via the media player and it works fine

tyvm!

Just posted my own thread on this but found this one now…

“Heya,

I’m really sorry if this has been talked about already (I’m sure it has) but I did a search and didn’t find an answer.

I’ve been trying to get the custom soundtrack playlist thing to work but the music has just disappeared completely. I did it exactly as described on the wiki and have double checked folder locations and file types. Any tips?

Also, seeing as this is such an amazing feature, is there any chance it could make the list of things to be upgraded in future? A better interface for doing it, perhaps? And the ability to customise more sounds? I would appreciate it a lot at least
