Guild Wars 2

After selecting small interface from the options menu the text on the TP becomes jumbled and cut off, this has been in and reported since launch, does anyone at ArenaNet read in-game /bug reports?

Ichishi.9613:

You will get revealed if you by any means leave area before 4 sec duration has expired.
You do not get revealed if (after) 4 seconds of shadow refuge passed. But quite often you will lose the stealth visual on your character without losing stealth buff from cc abilities.

But is it intended for us to instantly get revealed even if we have stealth built up?

Is knockdown out of shadow refuge intended to make us instantly get revealed even if I have already built 6 seconds of stealth?

Sigh, this thread again. You dont have to sit inside the circle with 30 people, if only 2 of you stay in it he has to reveal himself to hit you for restealth and you’ll know where he’ll have to be to hit you. You shouldn’t have 30 people sitting inside the circle

Attention The Dark Masons [TDM]:

One of your players was found tonight (11/9) illegitimately inside of our inner Dreaming Bay keep. Can you have an officer please contact us to discuss this matter?

The player’s account ID: Serpenti.6753

I would appreciate if any Blackgate players could bring this post to TDM’s attention so we can all work together to rid T1 of unscrupulous play and poor sportsmanship. Thanks!

Less than 30 min before getting accused of hacking. New record.

Except that this time there is proof and not just empty words in a post.

Proof of what? I see a screenshot of a guy inside a keep that has had its inner and outter gates breached many times since reset. I see nothing in the screenshot that shows he got in there through hacks.

Yeah, you’re telling me a GUARDIAN used his permanent stealth spells to hide inside an inner keep that was sweeped and patroled by multiple people? Ok, now back to reality land

Slashpaf.9250:

What these graphs only show is that Desolation, without the US zergy nightcapping would have been 3rd on this matchup.
What else?

Actually even if we take into account daytime 8AM to 11PM Deso comes ahead of aborstone, use a magnifying glass

Heldohann.6854:

Again, you can easily check that there is no alliance between VS ans AS. There was one 2 weeks ago and it lasted less than 3 days.

The 2-3day alliance was in last week matchup when they realized they were losing to Desolation.

Heldohann.6854:

You say BS, AS stopped playing WvW normally since Tuesday evening CET as AS wants to go to Tier 2 to play with Europeans only. You can check that fact on the French forum. And BTW, the French prime time is usually 9pm-12am (GMT+1).

Why does Vizunah have +300 now if they stopped playing? Lol

Excited to see how BT will perform in tier1

Sometimes I’ll go on an alt and I just want to buy a piece of armor for it or a consumable or whatever and I’ll discover that my main char’s sales went through and I have no way of just buying something solely for my alt.

Then I am forced to pick up the gold for my main sales then travel to town and deposit the gold back for my main, this is really a frustrating inconvenience due to the design of the TP only allowing you to pick up everything in the “Pick Up” tab, any changes planned for this?

I remember ArenaNet said the removal of dolyak escort rewards was temporary, guess someone should hand a dictionary to ArenaNet or explain what “temporary” means because it’s not looking to be temporary

Agreed, badge gear is severely overpriced compared to the PvE counterparts which have the same stats, just ridiculous

Magni.2835:

or they will just stay in a zerg and sneak attack everything

5 man attack teams are actually what most people want to promote, by zerg we mean a huge group of 100 people running around capping something then moving on to the next target without any thought or strategy behind it.

Wothan.4673:

Pressing them more, guys xD
27 score diff. We can meet next week.
We are working hard for this.

Take our place, we need some rest.. and fight our Elona friend again, with FS i hope. It can be a good match up.

Well, i hope ScarX and RedGuard will not ragequit like in warhammer this time xD

I think you should pat your Vizunah buddies on the back, they’re about to self-implode with rage I don’t think their ego can survive if they will lose two weeks in a row

waeren.9743:

The EU has always been nothing more then a location tag. You should have learned that during the first month when NA was complaining.

If tag = location, Why is there NA players on the EU ladder ?

again, I don’t care about loosing.
We lost against Elona, we lost against FSP, no problem.
But losing to a server just because they recruited oversea and we can’t ? where is fairness here ?

Nothing is stopping you from recruiting foreign guilds, american servers have chinese/philippines guilds, the only thing stopping you from recruiting foreign guilds is your stubborness and refusal to communicate in a global language(English). The fault is on YOU

Oh those fleeting memories where Vizunah only won due to their superior skill

More jolts to the Vizunah player’s memory, sup Russia?

Did vizunah players forget about these beautiful times?

Desolation winning thanks to nightcapping is bad only Vizunah is allowed to do it

Seriously did Vizunah players forgot that this is the same thing they did for 2 months? Maybe a friendly reminder will help these Vizunah players commenting on the forums, here is a jog to your memory

Funny how Vizunah players forgot how they sat at #1 spot for 2 months with +695 night time points

I agree, what a tedious task

I hope this isn’t as temporary as the yak escorting rewards removal..which I remember was also temporary…

HabibLoew.2590:

After a careful reevaluation of orbs of power we have decided to remove them from WvW in an upcoming build. As implemented, orbs tend to strengthen teams who are already winning and make it even more difficult for underdog teams to fight back. In addition, the current implementation seems to be irresistible to hackers/cheaters and will require significant modification to prevent cheaters from having an unfortunately large impact on the state of any given WvW game. Under the circumstances we believe that removing orbs completely is a better choice than attempting an in-place redesign/re-implementation as it will immediately put a stop to all orb hacking. It is likely that orbs, or some orb-like mechanic, will return at some point in the future, but only after we are confident that they will not exhibit the sorts of issues that we see with orbs today.

Excuse me Habib but if you are removing them due to cheaters/exploiters does that mean there is nothing you can do about those cheaters? What about the remaining exploits like mesmers teleporting through walls then portaling in their whole zerg and other 3rd party software that allow people to teleport from a tower to a supply camp and back in less than 10 seconds allowing them to build anything in a matter of seconds?

If you are unable to do something about orb exploiters does that mean you aren’t able to do anything about the exploits I listed either?

Rofl half of those people the thief is hitting for his invis arent even moving its sad to see you complain about something and reference a video of a guy doing it against a bunch of people that honestly seem to have no clue what they’re doing

Sorry but you are hilarious, no thief will stop 30 people from capping a supply camp unless none of those 30 people are competent

Maniac.5163:

If the altar is destroyed already, then it is bugged.

That keep got lost and retaken a bunch of times, Blackgate basically has a permanent free orb we can’t do anything about it. I wonder when will these dumb bugs or exploits be fixed

We have the keep but the enemy has the orb inside it and we receive no orb buff?

http://i.imgur.com/IoOic.jpg

Sadly I have to agree, 125 gems=1g5s for a key is just ridiculous

It’s possible to hit ALL trebs on the garrison even the untargettable ones you just have to think outside the box

This triggers after you do X amount of sell orders within X amount of time, stack size is irrelevant

Just a side-effect of ArenaNet adding paid tournaments and other improvents to sPvP way too late instead of having them ready at launch

Seriously? WvW is taking a back seat to sPvP? sPvP being their advertised competitive mode intended to make the game an esports that hasnt had anything added to it besides the enabling of paid tournaments? Yeah, sPvP is getting ALL the attention..

the only problem with elementalist currently is that it isn’t something a noob can use, you have to study it deeply in order to use it effectively, if you give up because you cannot fully utilize your elementalist that only means your level of understanding is much shallower than those who can use it quit effectively.

I actually agree with you that you should go back to games wherein the mage play style is really really easy and requires little to no thinking at all when playing.

Going to disagree with you there, while the class definitely does have a rather high skill ceiling, that’s far from it’s sole issue. Even an excellently played elementalist will find themselves working much harder to achieve less result than, say, an equally well played warrior or thief, or even a mesmer or guardian. There’s nothing wrong with a challenging class, as long as the challenge pays off, but with the elementalist, it doesn’t.

I disagree with you completely, all you have to do is watch a stream of a competitive player playing an elementalist and realize how strong an ele is in the right hands

Yes, a skilled player, when backed up by a skilled group in the right situation, can make the class work, but the fact remains that outside of very specifics roles/situations/specs (AOEing from behind a zerg/wall, bunker staff in SPVP), we work much harder for less surviveability and less damage than many other classes. Not to mention the array of bugs and many weak/useless/broken abilities (how many other classes do you think sit there wishing they could use their elite slot to fit in a 4th skill because all of their elites are so terrible?).

This isn’t a black and white issue, nobody is saying that the class is absolutely and totally 100% useless 100% of the time, but the reality is that there are a whole pile of areas in which it needs to substantially improved before it’s on par with the other more balanced classes within the game.

So why do the top competitors say that they would always take an ele over a thief if a thief can perform better? Paradigm never plays thief, guess they only want to play the weak classes like Elementalist …lol

First suggestion seems to fit best, when you’re done with personal story you get to choose, if you want 2x token A or 1x token B. Two-handers are purchasable with 1x tokenB and 1handers are purchasable with 1x tokenA, what is the downside for this?

That some people just salvage the items straight off for mats and now you have someone who potentially can get twice the items as another. So you’d have to make 2h weps result in twice as much salvageable materials.

Really though this is such nitpicking, I play a dual wielding warrior and I could care less because it is so painfully easy to get weapons that are even better than the ones offered as a reward from this. So if I was the OP I would stop trying to turn molehills into mountains, this just isn’t that big a deal.

No one is going to salvage items worth 1g and I’m not trying to turn something into something else, personal story reward should be equal across all classes and this isnt the first issue regarding this type of reward, if you don’t like it then dont comment you bring nothing to the discussion with “why care” attitude.

Also in regards to salvaging what? Everyone can pick two 1handers and salvage them if thats their intention or they can pick two-handers if they intend on using, there is 0 disadvange with that suggestion whereas in its current state dual-weilders are clearly at a disadvantage

Maybe watch some pro teams, thieves arent an issue at all, a competitive game should be balanced based off the top team’s ability to play and ideas, not by random unskilled players and their random encounters with inefficient builds and gear

This guy is beyond impressive as an elementalist like godly plays really makes the elementalist class look really strong constantly winning 2v1s..

Anyway http://www.twitch.tv/phantaram if you’re interested

To be honest it would make dragon fights a lot more interesting and they would get done, it would just spark an intense 3way world battle PvPvE though I agree with the dungeon aspect

Darmikau.9413:

Just buy the skins you want off the TP.

Anet has never been good about this, even in GW1.

The realistic solution would to make one handed weapons require a different token, of which you receive two (and you select whether you’d receive one two-hander token or two one-hander tokens). Of course, this is a little convoluted and a bit of work on Anet’s part.

The work required to do that is minimal instead of screwing dual-wielders again, yes we can buy them from TP but why should we pay money for something that two-handed classes get for “free”

When you finish the personal story you now get a 1 token which you can trade in turn for a greatsword, a longbow,shortbow, a dagger, an axe?? Classes that use one-handed weapons need to do the personal story twice! to get the skin for their weapons? How does this make sense?

Why would you assume that you can just skip over a book? I immediately realized you have to use the level 40 book before you can use the 60 one, what’s the train of thought for you guys? Gonna kitten myself for 20 levels so I can save 20 silver?

One more week then Ruin will have a night time oponent in Elona/Arborstone

How did that unguilded JQ mesmer get into Bay on SBI map? Did he chill there for fricken 10 hours?

Are you kidding me? You realize we owned the garrison in the stormbluff border 2 hours before that ninja happened?

So 2 matchup resets and 2 new patches this door is still broken

This isn’t a bug, there has always been a 5% listing fee + 10% transaction fee the thing is it just wasn’t listed before

I’m on the low-end side of the spectrum, with an average of 28~ FPS in areas where there aren’t too many players and usually 20~ FPS inside stonemist castle when there isnt any activity around it, and first time this week that I go to stonemist castle I’m at 10 fps and there is 0 activity around me and around the castle. ( My server owns 100% of the map and there are no allies inside either ).

What has changed in the latest patch(es) or latest days that caused this drop in performance?
