What does /v/ mean :o?

its a catch all for PvP/PvE/PvD usually i just right it PvX. Although I could have just missed that target entirely

/v/ is a board on the site 4chan, which, to put it simply, is one of the most immature and trollish sites on the internet.

I do know Something Awful, whose forumers are notorious for trolling, chose a GW2 server to gather on. I also know what server it is, but I suspect it’s against forum rules to say which it is, and unfair to the decent people who joined the server without knowing it was the SA hub.

Oooh, I see.

When I first started on seafarers rest in the beta, a friends also told me 4chan was making it their home server.
There were some guilds called “no fun allowed [fun]” and others with the fun tag.
Then I joined grawl just wanna have [fun], and some people raised an eyebriw _.

At launch I went in Aurira Glade anyway, so i didnt notice much trolling.

I also think they switched to far shiverpeak, I hear horrible stories from there on the forum :o.

I feel foolish

I can only say mesmer, after logging enough hours in both to get them to 80 I can only say I hate the current state of the elementalist. The problem is to much glass for the amount of cannon you get. In gw 1 the ele was much better. Problem is that now Anet tried to balance it to be able to run solo in pve so its gotten a few more heals etc but a major nerf in damage. its sad that I can spec a warrior, theif… or really just about anything to get the same result for not nearly so much effort.

Honestly, the reason I don’t want mounts in this game is because I want Anet to fix some of the major glaring issues we have right now. Not to add more unnecessary content.

But of course seeing something on all caps with a slew of !!!! always makes a point that much more valid….

(oops my sarcasm meter just went though the roof)

I don’t really know what to say to this one……

Lets see it already. I want to see the rest of this world again.

I would go necro, I have played though both and the Elementalist was the only one hated. Out of all my toons the Elementalist just sets in a jumping puzzle now… cause I hate playing it.

Lets get some Airships too. We can fly over the Hills or bay and then do some drops right into the middle of all those defenders. See how much their Arrow Carts help them then.

Finding a good place to hand out can be rough. So I do feel your pain. I come across as a bit of a kitten hole alot of the time. But one of the things I do always try to do is to be there for newer players if they need help with anything.

I was on darkhaven for a long time, but finally I gave up on it and moved servers to Blackgate because Darkhaven just felt like it was dead in the water. Problem with all the high population servers is that we are looking at Total population, not active population.

As for a good guild that is helpful and friendly, I have still not been able to find one that meets all my needs. What I do have is a great group of friends who I run with. Most all of them transferred over to black gate with me when we decided to make a new start in the game.

I can’t really give advice except to say that don’t let a few bad apples in the community turn you off of a great game. There are just as many players who are willing to help out and in a highly active server, any one of the top six: Sanctum of Rall, Blackgate, Jade Quarry, Tarnished Coast, Fort Aspenwood and Sea of Sorrows should have a high enough population that you won’t have to worry about doing any World Boss on your own. I run into some problems with it as I am in Ocean/Sea timezones right now and for most servers that isn’t their peak time.

If your looking to do more World content I would try Guesting to those servers I mentioned and see how it goes. You might find that you like it a bit more.

The main problem with the Guild Wars community right now is that everything has to be fast. The faster the better. So I do apologize if your having trouble finding a group at lower levels. But AC can be a major pain since Anet decided to make it “more fun” to play. It didn’t use to be that bad for low level players to find a group there.

In any event, that doesn’t stop me from running a lower level dungeon with an under-leveled player as long as they meet the min requirement for the dungeon. One thing I will never be called is an elitist.

So, if you need help or want to get to know some more players in the game, hit me up in game. My main is Talyn Lightbringer.

Not another one of these….

Ok I Did It.2854:

Talyn.3295:

I see no problem with this. The points are there for the players who want to work at them. As they are not a requirement there is no problem. If your not wanting to put the effort into the required task its no fault of anets.

I love the way you assume that I do not put the effort into the game, seeing as a cleared 10k AP’s over a month ago, id say I put a good bit of effort into the game,

Had you BOTH actually read what I wrote, instead of what you wanted to read you would see that I suggested removing the AP from perm content, because when new perm content that is challenging is completed people do not go back to it, could you imagine being new to the game now and trying to get the reward to kill TEQ, LMFAO good luck.

Most people who even only play an hour a day can get the AP’s linked to the LS content in the 2-4week period that the are available, in 2 weeks from now there will be very few people running that new TA path, ( me personally I have it complete, but as its not all about me ) that’s why I suggested that above approach.

I read your post the first time. I even went back and re-read it a second time. And Regardless of what you think, or How many points you claim to have. I still don’t agree with you. Soooo yeah….. moving on

I mostly played them to get a feel for how each one worked in WvW and PvP. I feel that having played though with them at least once it helped with my understanding of the game, and how to counter certain builds. That said, now that they are leveled it would be nice to have another use for them.

Although I have leveled all eight of the jobs to level 80, I find that the only one that really sees any real use is my main. There are to many detractors from playing my other toons. Its not that I haven’t geared them. I have. Almost all of them have fully ascended trinkets and exotic weapons and armor. My main is the only one who has gotten Legendary/Ascended weapons. Even that isn’t an issue.

I remember back when we could run a dungeon once per toon per day. I would actually load up the other seven to run it with them. I am not per say saying we go back to this, but it did give an excuse to play them.

I do alot of high level fractals and play a decent amount of world vs world. I know from experience reading post that Anet likes everything to be character based. This is why we earn world experience per toon. I am even ok with that.

However what would be a nice change is to see my fractal level be account bound. Since it would be nice to play something else in there, but it would take a while to re-level another toon up to the level my main is at. Even dungeons, it would be nice if we only had to unlock explore-able once per account. Sometimes I just don’t want to play my main, and despite the game being out a year, alot of people still haven’t done the story missions to allow for a dungeon to be unlocked. Sadly I feel penalized for their laziness every time I get a pug and go back to my main to open the dungeon.

I do not believe in account bound weapons, or account bound dye usage. But I feel like certain things are achievements. For example story mode, I don’t get more points when I complete it with another toon.

It would just be a nice change of pace to play some of my other toons a bit someplace other then on the world map where they are camping a nod or a jumping puzzle.

I thought we already had one, it was called “The Moot”

I see no problem with this. The points are there for the players who want to work at them. As they are not a requirement there is no problem. If your not wanting to put the effort into the required task its no fault of anets.

Mathias.9657:

Dailies shouldn’t reward AP at all.

That’s been suggested before, and I’m honestly to the point that I wouldn’t mind that.

Seera.5916:

So you’re upset that ANet has a system in place to reward players for going out and playing the game in whatever area they like and rewarding those who can only get to one or two during their play session due to their time limits and play style.

All because you’re chasing for being high on a leadership board and don’t want to risk not doing the dailies for the high AP reward to time?

Then your suggestion removes the partial AP credit for the dailies for those who can’t complete them all?

Um.. What?? None of that makes sense to me or pertains to what I was saying.

Personally, before the change to Pick 5 out of X method for dailies, I NEVER was able to get a daily. Because I don’t play WvW. I don’t do dungeons or never did the right path on the days they were up (because I don’t believe in going out to do the dailies, the dailies occur as I play what I want).

Now the dailies might affect where I play. I may choose to work on a map in Shiverpeaks instead of Kryta on days where it’s rewarding a Daily for kills in Shiverpeaks. I may choose to play my low level alt on a day when the personal story is in the daily or leveler.

But I don’t specifically kitten, my goal is to hit these 5 dailies and I will go out of my way to do them. Now, if I find I’m close as I’m about to log off, I might go out and chase down one achievement if it will put me at completing the dailies if it’s been mostly finished already.

Maybe try going at the dailies by a different approach? Spend most of your time out doing what you want to do. And see how many of the dailies get filled just by doing what you want to do.

I pretty much do that now, trying to combine dailies where I can. Story dungeon + Ascalonian kills = AC story. That kind of thing.

Bubi.7942:

Hellmasker.1649:

As an achievement hunter, and one who hopes to stay competitive in the AP leaderboard, I spend a large portion of my GW2 time just doing all the dailies. Some days are better than others for this, as any AP hunter will tell you. But I miss just being able to get on and play. Between 15-18 dailies every day and the often time-sensitive Living World achieves, I’m rarely able to get on and do WvW or farming or whatever. I’m pretty stoked with the current Living World achieve being as easy as finishing the daily 10 days, which I already planned on doing. For the first time in what feels like a year, I can just play sometimes. But I’m asking this: If a player only needs to complete 5 dailies for the reward chest, why not only award the 1AP for those first 5 dailies? I miss when dailies were those original 4 and they were all complete in < 30 minutes…

Really? What you are asking for here is basicly: remove the effort I have to make for staying on top of the leaderboard. That doesn’t sound right in my book.

I didn’t mean it to come across that way, I just meant that some days the dailies can take several hours, and by then I don’t want to just play anymore or I’m exhausted from also holding down a full time job. People tell me I have no life and I tell them I wish I had less of a life so I can play more lol :\

Sorry, It “is” what you said. And it “is” what you meant. Doesn’t matter how you wanted it to come across. What your saying is you want to be a top player by collecting all the AP. For that I wish you the best in your efforts.

However when you say your not enjoying the game because your hunting them all down and its taking alot of time I can’t bring myself to feel sorry for you. You only need the five for your daily. After that the extra effort to make you feel like a top player is on you. As we all know its not required. You are not the only one who has to work long hours. Many of us do. And to say that because you “can’t” or “won’t” put the effort into collecting all the AP that Anet should not allow anyone else to do it either is simply bull kitten.

It comes down to this. If you want to be a top player. If you want the Max points you have to be willing to work at it. If you are unable or not willing to, it is you’re fault not the system. To deny the option for those players who are working towards chest is not fair, doubly so if its for no other reason then you want to feel special about being a “achievement hunter”

Don’t see a problem with bringing them back. But I am looking forwards to seeing what the new tools we are gonna get are. Seems we are following the dragon pattern now. What with the undead pick. I wonder if the next two will be based on the claw or the shatter

This does make sense, is there perhaps a way we could get an option to gift gems? I would like to help out some friends, but the conversion of gold to gems is never that great. I would rather just buy them with real cash and give them to a friend to by what they want.

Give it time…..

And why would we leave cotton out? I say we follow the pattern, if the price goes up due to this, that is the cost of doing business.

How about a Shield that is made out of Meat, we could call it a Meatshield, then when low on health we could take a bite out of it. I know my char would love it.

Lets see some more

P.S. I support Bikini’s In guild wars 2

This again? How about no… again

Have No Faith In Me.1840:

Trading post.

And why do you have more than 1 of each?? A failed flip attempt? Seems like you created your own problem.

It might be a good idea to know exactly what your talking about before you respond to a post. This keeps you from looking foolish. The majority of the Buttons didn’t come from the TP, very few were random drops and only these were trade-able. The rest were account bound. These are the ones that he is talking about selling as they were not even sell-able to merchants. However that ship sailed a while ago. I doubt many people held on to very many.

incognito.4019:

AntiGw.9367:

While scamming is wrong, wasting Arena.net’s time is also wrong.

They let you trade securely on TP, but they also let you mail things to people you trust at your own risk.

They have better things to do than dealing with 2.000.000 people that might suddenly decide to stop using the automated TP to save a few coppers.

This is the issue. Make player to player trading.

No, this is NOT an issue. The only reason it happened was because the parties involved went out side of the established method for trading this game. I don’t Need all the WTS or WTB spam chat in LA or any other major city simply to make it possible for those who want to go outside of the established method in this game to save a few gold.

And even if this possible, how would Guardians, Rangers or Mesmers use the F4 skill when they already have 4 functions?

All I can say to this, is that you knew what a ranger was when you started playing it however long ago that was. If your not happy with it you got one option. Play something else.

I am off for adding a Hall of Heros style arena to Guild Wars 2. I miss it alot. However I think it needs to be added in a separate location form both WvW and sPvP

1) Race changes

2) Weapon swapping for Elementailst/Engineers

3) Player to Player trading

4) Account bound dye

5) Stat change for Ascended weapons

6) Healing class (Holy Trinity)

7) Stealth

8) Mounts

9) Free items (for no logical reason, other then op thinks they should be entitled to them)

10) Suggestions that try to turn GW2 int WoW

Yes I realize the search feature is not that great. If it ever worked. But honestly DO we need keep getting spammed with the same post over and over in this forum. Honestly I understand why Anet never peaks in here. Half the suggestions are the same the other half make no sense or would be extremely difficult to implement.

BTW feel free to add your own to the list.

I want to thank everyone that responded to my post, both in game and here on the forums. There were alot of great people and guilds. I wish that the choice of where to move was easier. Hope to see you all on the battlefield.

Thanks again

Montgomery.1986:

Why not have weapon swapping just like everyone else, but in order to do so, the elementalist needs to channel for say 9 seconds. Sure they get access to 20 different skills, but that 9 seconds balances out any advantage they get. It won’t be like “I’m fighting a dagger ele, oh no I’m fighting a staff ele, oh no it’s the dagger again.” Instead, it will be “I’m fighting a dagger ele, okay now he’s swapping weapons, he’s going to go ranged and I can mentally prepare myself for that.” In PvE, it will be used in an emergency, when you find yourself unprepared, the 9 second channel would cancel any kind of dps advantage you could get by swapping weapons.

This has been fine for over a year. Elementalist require skill to play. They don’t need changed in any way. Geeze people get over this already. I can understand people asking for a swap of weapons option for when they are out of combat simply so they don’t have a extra staff/dagger/focus setting in thier bag. But honestly Nothing else needs changed about his class. No Cool downs, no extra kitten requirements or stuff of this nature. If you don’t like that elmentailst can’t swap weapons and instead rely on their Elements (hence the name) then its not the class for you to be playing.

What would be nice for this is if we had something like what was done with the trays of food. This would allow for everyone present to use the “Potion Dispenser” or food or whatever we needed for x amount of minutes.

A group of my friends and I are looking to move servers. I am stationed in Korea, and my friends are from Hong Kong and Australia. Currently there are about four or five of us who are looking for a more active place to play. We would like a PvX guild.
Hoping that we might find a guild who is looking for some good players. Most of us have been in the game rather steadily since launch.

Since our current Server Darkhaven has been on a rather slippery slope as of late. We either get destroyed or we dominate, our experience has been rather stale. Also given the timezone difference we don’t see as many players about who we might play with.
We have been looking at Blackgate and Tarnished Coast, as our two main options.
Ideally we would like to get in some good fights, and find a good guild to hang out with.

If someone could give us an idea on que times for WvW or suggestions on the communities from servers/guilds that might welcome us that would be great.
If someone could reply with some details or message me in game that would be great.

Bring it back. As a fan of the lore of the game I don’t see any reason for neglecting content that was in the previous game. Its like reading a second book in a serious and half the world just kinda well… fell off the face of the earth

I remember the cool dancing Emotes that we used to have in the Original Guild Wars. The Ranger Breakdance/Lapdance, Elementalist littlekicks/bellydance, the mesmer river dance…

The list goes on and on. Rather then putting some of the new stuff into the gem store, could we get something along these lines? I would be more likely to buy this then I would the current dance books.

If you think that Guardians or Engineers are not able to put out High damage you should look through the fourms for some of their DPS threads. I have ran a Zerker guardian for a while with Sword Focus and I have alot of fun with it. Makes for much more fast paced action.

That aside on the the other three for WvW the thief is king of Solo roaming. Even if you take one someone you can’t beat you can always stealth and run for it. Mesmer can be powerful if the person your fighting, “Aka a thief” is mainly doing single target damage and is easily confused by which of you is real. However this only really works if they don’t know which of you are real, if they can pick you out of the crowd your gonna get hit hard.

If you want something powerful for all of it though. I think that most people will agree that Warriors have things pretty good at the moment, and I haven’t had as much fun lately as I have with my Neco.

I try to give out advice on these but honestly I enjoy playing all eight jobs and its so hard to say that one better.

No reason that Ascended should be given this ability. Why not do it for exotic next? How about rare? What about mastework? Perhaps fine? …..

I just want some better legendaries. I do not really care to much about the theme. Although i agree that what we have is way to colorful and sadly lacking in style.

No. We had a trade channel in guild wars one. No one ever used it we had nothing but map chat spam of wts or wtb. I like the system as it is now. I do not see any reason why p2p trading is needed. It would open more problems then it would fix.

I can’t take what your talking about seriously. Its like you have not bothered to play or even learn anything about half the stuff your talking about….. This sounds more like a rant then anything.

soooo I will be moving right along.

lol, What makes ascended any more important than any other crafting material? If you don’t want to deal with it taking up space do something with it besides complain here.

I don’t forsee it changing, but I would like to see blade and others from GW1 points re-worked.

I would like to see us get the weapon storage bags like where added into guild wars 1. This allowed for us to store gear and such. Although during that time we didn’t have nearly as many options for weapons/armors as we do or need now. Nor did we have the large bags for that game as we do now…

I don’t know if we have it better now then then.

Another one of these. It won’t happen. Moving along.

Jumping puzzles are hardly a good way to go about getting the fragments. Regardless of the difficulty of the the puzzle I have only ever gotten a few. I think at most 10? Usually a lot lower. I would rather then just run CoF or CoE, the 20 per path added up much faster.

This made me smile as I recall all of those post about Portals, Jumping Puzzles and Ascended gear.

I am not a fan of either Sunrise or Twilight. However given this example I would be behind changing the sword to be a combination of the two.

Lisa.6102:

you could start your own guild and it will cost you about 2-3 gold to start a guild bank with 50 slots, 10 gold if you want 100 slots

Guild banks don’t hold account or soul bound items. The bloodstone dust (and other nonrefined T7 mats) are account bound and therefore can’t go into a guild bank.

True, but for other things which are cluttering the bank it is an option. I was able to condense all my dust down into bricks so that wasn’t really an issue. As for the other t6 and t5 materials I have my Elder Wood and Mithril/ Orichalcum and ancient wood all setting safely in my guild bank to allow my soul/account bound items to do my stash cluttering for me.

Those two brats playing behind the bank.

We need the option for a whole second build underwater.
