I gotta ask though, was Chevy Chase inside after you killed it?!
Not only did they nerf the rewards into making it a waste of time to replay story mode, but they also increased the difficulty.
cm story has extra champions, snipers, conditons, doggies upgraded to silver and do fear, and the whoppping reward: 1 silver 8kxp
Congrats, you can now travel to ONE Waypoint, hope it was worth your time :oP
I wanna know what waypoints you’re going to at 80 that are only 1 silver. Traveling to a waypoint that you’re standing on costs more than that.
Yeah I did an edit to add “in your own zone” sine most WP’s cost more than this….and yes even ones you are standing next to…

Honestly, I feel like they took a look at the metrics and saw a HUGE spike in CoF option 2 and made a knee-jerk reaction. I don’t mind a more difficult encounter as long as the rewards are on par with the difficulty and time needed to complete it. Either increase the rewards on each run or lower the amount of tokens it takes to buy the gear.
So why not increase the rewards for making it through a “harder” dungeon instead of nerfing them? Seems to me like we should get more tokens and silver as reward for finishing now, and not less. That means less grinding, but still rewarding for the gear you will eventually be able to afford.
“Oh noes they are building a ladder up the west wall”
“Everyone stack on me and wait for them to start climbing”
“Hold, ok, 3,2,1 everyone KICK the ladder down off the wall”
“Yay, look at them all fall over, now AOE to finish them off”
You might as well just let us buy tokens and save time from running dungeons and giving our money away since it seems we will now make less than our repair bills when its all over. I know you guys want us to have money sinks and keep the economy low, but now there are no ways to make decent gold or grind out items.

The negative consequences are large kittens, trolling, and calling out players. Its a team game, so lets keep it a team game. I don’t see a need to know, what does it really matter what the character name was?
I think they made it this way to prevent trolling or calling out players. Guild tags are fine since you know who you are fighting, just not the individual. I thought it was strange at first, but since its a team game I understand it and I am used to it now.
work you way around it? is like Spies in RL.. they leak information.. nothing wrong with that.. lol..
u know u can do that too.. dont you?? ._.
next thread is gnna be.. “QQ my enemy is using siege weapons, please remove them”
-.-
Wow, so much depth and knowledge here, thanks for the great contributions! But I am pretty sure a dead spy in RL, as you say, would be fairly useless in information gathering. Which is not to say is the same case for a dead spy in GW2….
So you want an elite skill unlocked at lvl 4? How would you spent 30 points in it if you only had like 3?
I wouldn’t mind the screen going black/dark after 30 secs or so….
Its fun, its why our guild plays this game. Its always changing and every day is a new battle and story to be told or made!
I don’t know if it’s related, but there’s definitely something weird about the queue. There’s a lot of personal anecdotes of “this guy has been in the queue for 3 hours and I got in before him in 15 minutes of waiting”. There’s just too many anecdotes of this ilk to be a pure misconception.
They have already acknowledged the queue issues and stated that some people do get in faster than others who have been waiting longer. Hopefully it will be fixed soon rather than later.
Hit B, enter or queue for a map. I suggest trying your home borderland map maybe and stay away from Eternal Battlegrounds at first, but not totally necessary. Then I would say look for a group or follow a commander icon if someone has one. Never be afraid to ask questions, even if people are not helpful at first, there is usually someone willing to lend a hand. Always have supply, but make sure to try and get it from supply camps if you can. Since supply in keeps or towers can be used for upgrades. Ask in map chat where the main ‘raid’ group is and just follow along to the next objective. Over time you will get more comfortable and be able to contribute more. Just have fun and enjoy it, maybe also try some siege equipment to get familiar with the different kinds and their abilities as well.
they should put all the ranked 1’s against each other ranked 2 and so forth down the line. That way it will always be different.
Isn’t being ranked 1 mean that you are #1 as in the top as in there can be no other #1 since you are the number 1 in the sense of being the first place and thus there can be no other first place since that breaks the entire fabric of reality?
[Skills] often don't trigger after activation! (No general lag issue!)
in WvW
Posted by: Suddle D.9412
I’m pretty sure the other night I pressed my elite skill for a MINUTE straight and it never triggered. Also same thing with my heal, I had to hit it maybe 10 times before it activated. I can stand a little lag but the complete inability to fire off a skill is very problematic. Hopefully it can be fixed.
Well, its based on ranking, so being placed against a top server should be a good thing. You can always lose to drop down and make it easier but what fun is that!? You can always try a different map if you feel like you can’t get going in another, but I would advise to group up and get into some battles and have fun.
15 badges in 200 kills seems to be on par. Adding that you probably missed some looting it seems to be about what I get in a day if I end with 200 kills or so.
Stay up later if you want to win overnight, problem solved.
I have decided, and the answer is………No.
PS can ANYONE post a pic or Wiki description of this “portal gun” I have never seen one ever in this game, yet people keep QQing about it. If you mean a Mesmer portal, then that is definitely not a gun and is placed where you are already standing….

Lets just limit WvW to 10 people, that way no Zergs!!!
Oh wait, but then when 1 random person walks near those 10, it will be called a zerg again and need another nerf…
TL:DR
Basically its 3 way WvW, so someone is almost always going to be double teamed, it happens to EVERY SERVER. Get over it and play the game and have fun.
You can use portals to move faster, and used correctly they can be very helpful against gates or other players. They are expensive, so that’s why they are used sparingly. In most cases they are not used all the time for most fights, but its fun to bust one out every once in a while and take a keep with it.
Check guru forums for a queue time spreadsheet (unoffical of course)
Just not true, its easy to wipe larger numbers and down them all before they have a chance to rez. Stay focused on the alive targets, and have a target caller for your group. Then go back and down anyone still moving, rinse and repeat. Also, you know you can DPS them down and not have to use the ‘finishing’ move.
I’m pretty sure all the gold and Karma you earn can be spent at any level….
Night to you is day to someone else….
There are no raids currently. Only 5 man groups. Commander icon, is just that, an Icon.
In WvW you are auto leveled to 80, so that that into consideration as far as damage scaling goes…
Your armor is scaled.
I know, but my point is you will hit harder….of course you will take less damage and have more HP, but that could explain the higher hit numbers.
You need to report exploits to the proper support email address with any information you have. Screen shots and videos help, so include them. Posting a generic thread on the forums does not really help in specific cases. So use the proper avenues for reporting and the problems will be investigated a lot easier.

I wouldn’t put so much into the standings at this point. It still in its infancy, and ranking will change over time. This is just the first set of results they have to show and its nice to be able to see how they have the scoring right now. With 1 week matches coming up, things will change again, so don’t worry about 4th place at this point. There have been some fun and competitive matches and I know that will continue regardless of current rankings….
No, you can currently only be queued for one map at a time. Here’s a basic breakdown on how the queues are setup:
- If you are queued for a WvW map and try to queue for a second WvW map that is full, you will be asked if you would like to queue for the second map. If you select ‘No’, you will still be in queue for the first map. If you select ‘Yes’, then you will enter the queue for the second map and no longer be queued for the first map.
Are you sure about this? I am pretty sure I have been able to queue for multiple borderland maps, and get a pop for one, hit No, stay in queue, then have a pop for another, like EB and hit yes and enter. Unless it has been changed in the last patch or two…
Red= dead, your first mistake was to overlook an enemy. Second of they can do it so can you. Third its PVP, so expect to have a hard time against enemies, especially in a place like the jumping puzzle.
Its not server pride, I just don’t see it as an issue if everyone is able to do it. If it was like only the people who control Stonemist can take supply before a reset, then yeah its game breaking, but since anyone can have supply at any time I don’t think its that big a deal.
Just takes some time to load all textures in large groups. Just keep tab targeting or follow your target caller and you will be fine for now. Hopefully they can address this soon.
That’s why they have matchmaking and internal rankings.
Then it takes away from strategy and proper placement. Also makes supply less meaningful since you can take a keep, move all siege to another and keep going without needing more supply. It forces you to use strategy and not waste supply. This game is based around controlling and using supply to your advantage.
Though I have though about the ability to break down siege to get maybe half the supply back, but still might have the same effect as making supply less important.

Yup, no bugs at all in WvWvW; I forgot.
How is it a bug? Everything is neutral after a reset…you are not making any real point here. Sorry if you don’t like they way it plays out….
If we were meant to have supply when the game started then the Supply Camps wouldn’t be neutral in the beginning of the match up. Justifying an obvious bug is very amusing!
So it was totally missed with all the internal, external, open and closed betas? Really, you don’t think they would take it out of the game if it didn’t work as intended? They can reset the scores, so they should be able to reset character supply at the same time. The fact that they haven’t done that to me shows they think its fine.
The queue system has issues, hopefully they can fix the issues and at least have an indicator of your place in line.
It was in beta forum, which is now closed. It’s not on google cache, so I can’t locate it. The discussions were regarding the potential repercussions of multiple timezone WvW matches. This was when arenanet’s team was active in forum discussions, and was after the NDA was lifted.
Sweet, so they discussed it and decided this was the best course of action then, good to know it working as intended.
You should always have supply on you at all times, period. Especially before a reset or you log off for the night. It should be standard practice for everyone. If your server was prepared you could have dropped siege to counter the attack, it goes both ways…
Here is an unoffical ranking:
http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/61872-server-ranks-na/
To be honest, stats will most likely cause the top 3 servers to become insanely overcrowded, to the point of hilarity
because everybody and their dog will move to that servers and boast about how they are on the top server because they crazy awesome players…
Its already a problem on the top servers, so stats will have no effect on that.
Arenanet acknowledged this problem in several lengthy forum discussions during beta. As expected, nothing came of it. So, the Oceanic, Austrailian, and Asian players essentially dominate each night while we sleep. Unbalancing the game.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could just pause WvW at midnight and resume at 6 p.m? That would be sweet!
Source?
There is the Achievements tab, that has lot of tracking like kills and supply used, etc….its a nice start, but I do hope they add more overall stats and tracking/scoring soon.
