Guild Wars 2

So the purpose of a free tournament is to get together with other players and learn how to play in tournaments. How can we do that when there are premade teams that just roll you about every 1 in 3 games. This is neither fun or a learning experience… it just proves when you have a voip and several players that know how to play together, they will most likely beat inexperienced players that are trying to learn.

How about you merge all spvp together (europe and US) and then make the premades go against each other. That will benefit them because they will be against other coordinated teams for practice and prevent the pub stomp that free tournies has become.

I rather have a vote for commanders after a certain amount of time in every map. If the commanders are good then players will vote for them, likewise, if a big guild is running something their commander will be voted in.

Also, the ability to turn off people’s icons.

So the price of precursors is a problem. Some people grind them, yet others just happen to get lucky. With this lost shores event and those lucky enough to be able to do it / get a precursor or two, it seems that a lot of players are unhappy about how much gold certain players got in one shot as opposed to farming and grinding it or spending outrageous amounts of gold in the forge.

A simple solution towards precursors would be to make them account bound. Why give some players such a huge gold advantage over others by giving them away in the one time event, and this hasn’t been the first time precursors have led to problems. If anyone else remembers the karma debacle. Arenanet could even implement an option where you can trade one type of precursor for another via vendor.

Or, make them incredibly easy to find (remains to be seen what you consider “fun” new ways) and make the prerequisites go up a bit.

Also, since you are doing this gear treadmill thing, another suggestion would be to do a few new quests to upgrade your legendary each time new weapons of a certain dmg come out hence giving you the ability to keep your “best in slot.”

Feedback (positive / negative) is appreciated, but please no trolling.

congrats arenanet please read these posts of ppl raging at each other, precursors drops or not you have just pissed a lot of people off

join the club… it was all about d/c and people not being able to get on. Good timing on the d/c’s though.

But hey, some people did it multiple times and got 400g worth of items. fair

free content* is only to keep us happy to buy in game gems and the next expansion… this isn’t a charity it’s a business.

“On my guild forums, negative posters just get ignored or asked to stop being so attention seeking. We can all spot them. They enjoy dragging things down and foreseeing doom.”

Maybe your guild doesn’t feel the same because you silence anyone that doesn’t share your opinion?

Sounds like a really fun guild to be a part of. I disagree with you, does that make me attention seeking too?

your words not mine.

one loot of the chest per account – people that haven’t done it can EASILY get together and do it.

cool story, join get d/c = no loot

half the ppl in the guild weren’t on b/c of timezones and work

one time event that has an increased chance of precursors – unavailable to a ton of the guild wars 2 population, d/cs others so no chest, lag for most of the parts = generally a very unhappy group of people that were screwed by arenanet’s lack of foresight.

thanks guys

“At the core of Guild Wars 2 is this simple concept. Respect for the player’s intelligence, respect for the player’s time, respect for the player’s investment, and respect, even reverence, for the genre.”

http://www.realmofgaming.com/reviews/pc/guildwars2/838.html

Respect for your intelligence: They tell you ascended is there to “fill the ‘gap’ between exotics and legendary”. Uhuh, right, all the sudden there’s a gap to be filled, folks! Then their initial response says a lot but gives no hard information on the future of the game. Don’t you find the double talk disrespectful?

Respect for your time: You follow the game for years, keep reading all that awesome “no grind” “is it fun?” “game we’d like to play” talk. It launches, it’s great, you invest 600+ hours into it thinking you’ll be playing an awesome game for years and BAM they bail on the game’s core ‘design philosophies’.

Respect for the player investment: Fully supportive players who have pre-purchased it after reading all the pretty blog posts can’t get a refund now they have decided to change the game.

Another link for your amusement:

“Respect the player

We respect you—as a player, as a human being. This game we’re making may end up competing with your real life. It might fight for your free time alongside your friends, your family, your work, and whatever else you might be doing. Because of that, we want to give you a meaningful experience, not one that is a vapid waste of your time. Whatever your reasons for spending time in Tyria, we don’t want to waste it by doing stuff that isn’t fun.

Purpose: To keep us honest"

If we can’t have the game that was sold, I think they should at least show us some respect in the coming communication.

Respect – a one time event that drops precursors and amazing accessories at a very very high rate that not everyone that plays gets a chance to do because it’s in such a narrow time frame. The event is one time only.

It might seem like a little thing but it has a lot of uses. Would help if you put this up next to the player’s name in the roster.

Can ex-kaineng post here?

Anyway, if you guys look at my post in wvw I told you this would happen. We had a huge influx of guilds in devonas and I am seeing new guild names with 20-30 members each day. It gets frustrating when you enter wvw (hiding your commander tag of course) and just see how sloppy it is on DR side… and no pro you aren’t any better. It’s just our zergs > yours and we slam into you and can put a full zerg and mini zergs on each map. For the record, I do agree with you… you’re outnumbered and outgunned. It has nothing to do with “skill” just a sea of red names… and yeah the cliffside days were fun and it looks like they’re going back… I just hope we move up a tier and people stop being so kitteny and having 0 class when we get stomped because our no numbers advantage.

Also sorry for SoS kaineng, they are legit useless in wvw (told you so).

Best of luck to you guys, hopefully we’ll be back from the higher tier sooner than later shaking off the bandwagon guilds that joined up.

Used to be like a chess match between us where we could only field one proper zerg and it had to be shifted to offense /defense so communication was key… :/

on that note, not our faults for ppl coming over here – we didn’t ask for it, but the kitten talk has to stop

ya it sucks, it used to be like a chess match where us kain and ferg would each only be able to really field one zerg and so communication would be key and the winner would be the one who could outmaneuver the opponents by quickly protecting and swapping bl, but now DR has gotten so many newcomers and fair weather guilds hopping onto the winning server that we have a massive population advantage. I don’t care what anyone tells you, kain and ferg are not losing to skill or any one guild… they are losing from just being swarmed by bodies at this point… and there goes the fun of sneaking around and capping where you guys weren’t or setting up meatgrinders

Hopefully we move up get throttled and people start being shaken off so we can get back to our chess match. Not really considering this a “win” for us tbh, and there is no reason to brag or throw it in their faces DR rest players, but I’m sure some of the guys that came over will have little or no class so you’ll see that sort of thing.

I just have to say, for the record, that attacking a gate with a catapult (as in defending your gate against rams by attacking it with a cat from the inside) makes no sense and should hurt your gate instead lol.

Hitting your own gate with a large rock… wha?

sooooo much unnecessary drama in this thread

“he left, how dare he have a free will!?”
“she hacked… he hacked!”
“my guild did this… no my guild did that!”

have fun its a game and it resets every week

btw warsworn you’ve been doing pretty well… wish more guilds followed your example

and ferg, totally agree you guys are massively outnumbered out there and disorganized w/o your main wvw guilds but its a chance to build and start over which should be fun

props though for trying and props to kain for the effort

that’ll probably be my last look at the forums, pms from now on… it’s like reading the script for a soap ;/

if anyone can explain how this stat works would be nice

because from experience its just looking like the drop frequency for me is lower, and this is over the span of two weeks now after I had put on the gear

got it from a drop not a chest

I suppose a mod will be around soon to move it… I do think it’s really weird that once I put on the mf gear it not only kittened my hero but made all my drops (blues included) less for a few weeks now.

yeah probably I think I posted it in the wrong spot

just wondering if it even works is all

So I am sporting full yak’s the booster omnom bar and full jewelry and I have yet to find any exotics or lodestones from jormag. Been at it for about a week or two… meanwhile people around me without magic find are finding rares at a much higher rate and lodestones.

Without mf on I had found a precursor and almost a lodestone a day from jormag… I am starting to think magic find in this game is total garbage.

should just give it away for free to everyone

even ppl that dont farm at all can save 100g in a few months time

blue dots all around!

lol haven’t seen any of these yet but I’m sure I will soon

it’s amazing how much time people invest looking for glitches and exploits

lol stop drawing this out what needed to be said was said

go back to night capping

there’s a whole 10 of us online bonus points for finding us

We want our CDs back

Chaster it was who you msged me this exact line last night.

“get ready to get kicked”
- kicked?
“in the kitten #8221;
“by our alliance you suck”

pretty much that exact quote… I was reading your convo in vent and everyone was having a pretty good laugh at it

You honestly must have amnesia because you or one of your SoS members msgs me and trash talks every night. It’s a revolving door of ignore.

also, please look up the definition of racist before you accuse someone of it, then get back to me … or you can ask any one of the many korean members of this guild

get over yourself. we left for many reasons and it wasn’t all about you… people move on… I’d hate to see how you handle someone breaking up with you.

It wasn’t you it was us.
There’s more fish in the sea.

Good luck to the rest of kaineng on your next match up!

No fub, I am by no means trying to take your win away from you. By arenanet’s standards nightcapping isn’t an issue so the 10 to 1 you field against us at night is perfectly within the rules… I am not agreeing it takes skill because during the peak hours its almost always even between the three servers… somehow you fail to acknowledge that.

What I do post about mostly is how just 4 days ago you were beating your chest about how you guys were “outnumbered” and how you were some kind of underdog. There’s no jealousy here just the fact that you all make it sound like you’re this pvp machine when it’s the 600ish or more points you hold every tick for 8 hours a night that gets the win.

also, I had no problem with any of this but it was you guys that started msging me every day almost all week about how amazing you were or how you killed anyone with a kwbh tag

The name calling has also been pretty funny.

All in all really shows your guys’ character at warsworn and SoS

But you’re great at distorting the image of who and what you guys are with the propaganda on the forums… gotta give you that.

uh… not for the last few days no.

You keep it blue for a while until we can break all the fortified fully upgraded forts with siege in them.

…but you can keep thinking you’re amazing if you want

also, aren’t you the one that posts the screenshots from like 7am where the map is all blue?

So, I want to start off by saying that I have read most of the other posts about night capping.

Having said that, I still think some servers have a huge advantage because of large amounts of players coming to those servers specifically to take undefended maps.

If you did intend for this to happen then why did you have specific US EU servers?

Anyway, it seems a little silly that people would spend several gold upgrading and fighting all day long only to have their whole map taken while they are asleep with not enough people to defend it.

If you really intend on keeping nightcapping why not merge some servers or get rid of the US and EU tag.

You could also make the points after peak hours half so that the defenders who fought all day do not get blown out while they don’t have a chance to defend.

You could also make an adjusted cap based on the lowest nightly population. Let’s say server A can field 150 in each map at night but server B and C can only get around 50 people in one map. Then why not adjust the cap so that 75 from server A can get into each battleground. They still have the advantage, but at least the other servers will be able to defend themselves.

I’d say your magic bullet is being able to take both maps and completely upgrading them while we’re all sleeping.

Don’t know if you’ve noticed green beats you most of the time in primetime and Dr isn’t far behind.

Just saying.

Having guilds come in and carry you is kind of the opposite of what my post was about there, and yes, chaster himself admitted (earlier in this thread) when they first got on they were only interested in karma trains…

Overall, not really sure what you’re trying to say with that last post, but it’s cute how you’re always trying to flame us

and no egos would mean you’re not constantly whispering myself or my officers every time you see us in WvW about how amazing you think you are

Always a pleasure watching you try to make yourselves out to be underdogs,
Your neighborhood KWBH boogeyman
(aka the guild that should not be named)

and since you’re no longer outnumbered and the great and all-mighty kaineng, can you please get your SoS members to stop coming to DR and ferguson’s to follow around our zergs and commanders? I mean, at least have them take off their guild tags and make it less conspicuous.

…and wouldn’t it be more fun if you weren’t always relaying information where we are ?

even designing the type of armor / race of your guards would be awesome

I really like where your head is at ruggy.

^ this kind of back and forth is why I left kaineng and haven’t looked back, lol

EU could always come here instead

pretty much everything is out of whack and these gold sellers are killing the gems

they keep undercutting the gem cards

personally I rather see $ going into arenanet’s hands

So, the prices of powerful bloods have gone down to record lows. The prices on pretty much all crafting materials and lodestones has also hit rock bottom. You can tell me its because more players are level 80 but that doesn’t explain why there’s one or two guys that sell about 300 at a time at next to nothing. Come on guys, we all know the bots have ruined the economy. I just want to know what you’re going to do about it to fix it.

Botting is just one problem but it has ripple effects.

yeah it really is but as long as people have fun it doesn’t matter

No harm intended, we came back from EB and there was plenty of resistance afterwards too lol

thing is about 4-5 major guilds in wvw left DR putting it at literally the lowest static wvw population… always like the community and have some friends here between that and what I was seeing on kaineng we came over here

but, anyway, it was a good fight just the kittentalk msgs were annoying couldn’t block ppl fast enough… and spying accusations… no even sure what that’s about haha

anyway keep up the good fight

shouldn’t this be in guild recruitment?

Influence moving over. Some of us want to balance some of the servers wvw wise and pop wise but are held back because of upgrades and influence.

Would any rep from a larger guild in DR contact me.

Have some ideas I want to throw your way.

KWBH recruiting. Looking for players 18+ years of age. We are an aussie / US guild and we do spvp tournaments wpvp events and dungeons about 180 large and some of the more skilled players on kaineng

I usually don’t have problems with mesmers (the icon being above the real one in downed state now) or pistol whip thieves but death blossom I do think needs to be toned down. It’s coming to the point where almost every other player in spvp is playing death blossom spam build… maybe take off invincibility while death blossoming ?

just a suggestion and personal 2 c

also, scorpion wire has been grabbing me through stability all day today… maybe I’m lagging hard idk – figure it shouldn’t grab and knock me down if I have anti knockdown up? right…?

newsflash – the builds already dominate pvp lol

That’s what I’m saying we still have christmas coming up and the new years… there’s no rush to move everyone in. We’ll get the numbers eventually… WoW didn’t gain millions in a few months either. This is a great game as it evolves more people will flock to it once they see the quality of work that arenanet has. Even before that, we have the tools to win wvw. We just have to get it together internally first.

also the top two pictures are in order from our defense to us pushing them back to the gate then we took cragtop

if you guys are over 18+ and want a mature, super active guild hit me up

or if you just want someone to run with so you don’t get lost in a crowd – make sure you have a headset and a mic though because we all run voip so we can stay disciplined

and shout out to all the smaller guilds that came in and helped after we had the keep and the towers

together we can do great things
