Guild Wars 2

Im going to have to agree that Guild Wars has lost some of its appeal with the patch. As a mesmer main that has been playing mesmer since day one I have to say that it just isnt as much fun anymore. For me, setting up a big shatter, and seeing it destroy my opponent was the biggest thrill of playing the game. Now, however, I can accomplish what a 3 clone shatter with full vulnerability did in a simple 1 clone mirror blade mind stab combo. It just isnt fun when playing mesmer is so god kitten braindead. I swear anet can never find a balance, its either mega buff or huge nerf.

agree 100% about everything except balance.
Yes anet should have more frequent patches but atm i feel like most profs have at least 1 viable spec

Just wanted to make a post to convey my disappointment with this tournament. Two weeks in a row now my team as been denied a spot in participating in the Monday night competition. First time we were all signed up and ready to go (3 out of 5 of our players having taken work time off to make it) when we relieved a whisper sayings we could not participate due to a “miscommunication”. Being very discouraged we proceeded to whisper storm to ask if there was any way to for us in, but found the admins to be extremely unaccommodating despite the “miscommunication” which was admittedly on their side of things. Thus we didn’t get to play and we accepted that but decided to sign up for the next one (tomorrow’s). Again, we signed up, everyone tried to work their real life schedules around participating in the tourney, but then received a notification the night before that, again, we would not be able to play in it.

And so I believe that there needs to be some way of telling instantaneously upon signing up wether or not the tournament is full or not. Looking at the signup page, there is absolutely no indication of how many teams have signed up, which, in contrast to the go4gw2 ESL cups signup page, is terribly misleading.

All and all I feel that this tournament is put together in a very unprofessional manor. And, as such I can simply refrain from participating. BUT, this tournament does count for seeding points in the upcoming ToL. So it presents a conflict as how our team can obtain seeding in a lower-medium level setting without participating in the AG weekly.

first 2 were good rest didnt draw any attention
if u want to get everyone hyprd up u gotta let us talk kitten to each other

Well I’m a gold nova master bout get mah ak

Coming from someone that mains mesmer and will for sure buy the expansion. I have a feeling these elite specializations will be over the top. I’m by all means in favor of adding new content to increase build diversity but I hope Anet keeps it on par with the legacy content

Sunshine.5014:

Omg, if they can make a king of the hill Pavilion (that people can watch from the bleacher) that would be awesome! 20s entrance fee, and each match win get a loot bag (mean value less than 20s). It’s gonna be fun, and a gold sink too!

+1 for PvP in general

Gvgs would be great (even though I’ve moved on) but more regular pvp maps for the competitive rotation would be appreciated.

Right now your squandering a unique pvp experience that I believe has the potential to sit beside LoL and the other greats

Please expand it, I know a lot of people that we’re planning on playing but didn’t have a chance to sign up yesterday.

This is happening to many people, Anet needs to get their heads out of their kitten and do something about it.

This problem is all over the forums, yet no response from the Anet stafkittennowledging it or offering any help/support to players. Not a great PR reputation to be having right before the release of the (possible) expansion. Any word from Anet that they are aware and working to fix it, or even offering suggestions would be much appreciated.

(for those that do not know I am referring to the problem encountered when attempting to download the patch, getting stuck at 1-2 files, etc.)

kitten this kitten 1 file left…….

Same kitten. GET YOU kitten STRAIGHT ANET!

btw im St. Paul if it is regional

Team ASAP Zerg is currently recruiting one exceptional thief to fill our comp. Complete mechanical command of the class and good knowledge of rotations is required, and you will be working closely with mesmer in a 3 cele – 2 zerk comp. Practices are 4-5 days a week during NA prime time.

Please mail or whisper me in game if interested.

I recently purchased the Inventor’s Sunglasses skin off the TP. After using the skin I noticed that the sunglasses are cut off by a certain human face. I have not tested other races/faces to see if the graphical bug is present as of yet. I will attach a screenshot to show the offending part of the glasses.

Please try to fix this, thanks in advance.

[ASAP] Zerg, a recently formed PvP team intent on competing and placing in upcoming tournaments is now looking for a dagger/dagger elementalist for our 5th and final player. We are looking for a player with an extensive knowledge of the elementalist class and good mechanical command of the celestial D/D build. Voice comms are a must, as well as a willingness to compete, accept criticism, and improve.

Please Contact one of the following for more information:

The bug that causes random match prompts without queuing up (or previously causes match prompts when already in a game) is not fixed. My party member just got a queue pop when we were not in queue, I was afk at the time so he had to decline and he is now timed out due to dishonor. I thought the point of the no-dishonor period was to fix these things, but this is unacceptable. You are now timing out players who haven’t done anything wrong. I’m sure you can imagine how frustrating that is.

NA Master Race

We beat them in GvG, we beat them in PvP, now we just gotta beat them in PvE!!!

Staff ele at the moment due to the concentrated meteor bug

I would like to see Warhorn #4 apply a 1 second blind every time a bird comes down to hit the foe. I think that this would make it a valid survivability utility that the Warhorn was otherwise lacking.

Totally agree with OP, now I just want a couple more maps to add to the TeamQ lineup.

[ASAP] Zerg is now looking for players:

We are looking for two skilled and experienced players to fill the remaining spots in our roster. Our current needs are one D/D Ele and one condition oriented build (preferably condition Engi or Terrormancer).

Our Requirements:
- Teamspeak 3 (with mic)
- Significant tpvp experience
- Exceptional mechanical command of class
- Ability to practice 3+ days a week (practice days/times can be negotiated within the NA prime time slot)
- Willingness and intent to compete and improve in weekly tournaments as well as larger events

We will be practicing and fine tuning rotations and communication as a team. As a team we aim to be very competitive in the new ranked arena as well.

Yea of course the numbers wouldn’t have to be that severe, a 50-50 ration between kills and ppt would be good. The main reason I think implementing this would be beneficial is that servers have a chance to regain the ppt they lose during their off hours during their prime time.

Not remove the tick or anything, just add a surplus of additional points in order to make it less substantial. I realize that this approach would only be effective on the larger servers (tiers 1-4?).

Shift points away from the tick and towards player kills. All kills reward 3 points. In addition to this there is a stomp bonus, 1 additional point per borderland bloodlust held. For example, if I stomp someone while holding 2 BL bloodlusts my server would receive 5 points (3 for kill, 2 for stomp bonus).

This would fix:
1) coverage issue
2) unused bloodlust ruins
3) give gvg/open field guilds a way to influence ppt
4) shift towards skill instead of population
5) discourage up levels
6) force smart play
7) discourage blobs (blob wipe would result in huge points for opposing team)

Only drawback would be encouraging players to hide in keeps and towers, but this would result in no structures being taken which would help to fix the coverage issue. To counter this there is always the long distance treb option that would force an open field situation.

Gvg please, but don’t kitten it up.

When will we get the GvG CDI?

When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. When the seas go dry and the mountains blow in the wind like leaves.

From what I hear there appears to be more than a few strikingly similar characteristics between KOME and SG . . .

lol

Thanks for the replies. Not against joining an up and coming guild as long as they are dedicated to improving. Keep posting

Hello,

The guild:
I am looking for an established or mostly established guild on one of the three North America Tier 2 servers. The guild should be completely focused on raiding/gvging (no ppt). I would prefer a guild that has a fairly good record and some experience fighting the former powerhouses of the scene.

About me:
I have been playing gvgs for close to a full year now. I have been in many guilds throughout the past year, some of them including ASAP Zerg, Airstrike, Banana Exorcism, Aftershock, and Team Micro (TM and INC for the longest time periods). In addition to extensive gvg history I am a very experienced tpvp player, competing in the ToL2 and ToG and playing 5th and 4th in our qualifier. I main mesmer with a lot of both tpvp and gvg experience, with warrior (gvg) and ranger (tpvp) experience as well. I would like to play periph/gank mesmer but can also fill the spot of a solid warrior (destroyer, shout heal, or hybrid).

Feel free to contact me in game about a tryout.
Currently on Maguuma and would most likely need assistance transferring up.

^^^^^^^^
Please do this great idea

Munt a right good mate. Trolls harder than ten ’roos bout to go on the barbe but he still a right good mate. Also part o the greatest guild that ere was o will be, ASAP Zerg.

All I know is that Anet needs to do something drastic very quickly. WvW has been slowly dying over the past year due to population imbalances (think 2 stacks of bleeding). Since the end of the spring tournament the rate it is dying at picked up (10 stacks), and once GvG died it has increased to a whopping 18 stacks of bleeding. Anet, please make merge the servers, death-shroud is running out and consume conditions is on CD.

Please don’t roll a ranger.

Please help me kill the bandwagon, it won’t be hard.

99.999999% of power rangers atm are bandwagon kittenter skill clickers. Maybe run towards them not away from them and you won’t get kitten on. I have a hard time believing that any decent player could possibly QQ about power rangers. Kill the kittenters, end the bandwagon, and you will be left with the very few rangers that were around prepatch

The downfall of t2 gvg has left me along with so many others guildless. Seeing as I am not yet done with thing game I am interested in finding a new guild to call home. I am a (very) experienced warrior looking for a guild that regularly does (and wins) gvgs. Currently on mag willing to transfer as soon as funds are collected. Whisper in game or reply if you have a guild that looks like it could work out.

Hello. I’m currently on Magumma since the downfall of t2 gvg. I’m looking for a new guild that does GvG on a regular basis with pvp and wvw raids thrown in. I play warrior and like to think I am good at it. I would prefer a guild that is established with a good reputation / results to back it. I have a long history with many guilds that I would be happy to get into if I find a guild that fits the criteria.

Willing to transfer if I can find a guild that meets my standards so either reply here or msg me in game.

It’s not supposed to be a buff. PU is incredibly strong at the moment and takes arguably zero skill to make it effective. Adding kittenty boons to the pool helps to reduce the amount the current 3 boons and will hopefully eliminate PU from the roaming scene.

IMO they should add retaliation as well to further limit the amount of defensive boons.

You would most likely take spirit of strength, nature protection OR evasive purity, and SotF. Again, you have SotW, are you just putting that in there because you will be using it post patch? It will be a viable option then.

Ok, I play a very similar build so let me give you a few pointers. Take wolf + jungle? (the one with immobilize) spider, drop SotW for QZ (at least till after the patch), Traits look good but if you were to take 2 wilderness survival skills I would go for cooldown reduction over Shared Anguish. Definitely grab full zerk or at least knights, valkyrie or cavalier. Sigils look good except perhaps doom (up to you but I would probably take bloodlust, precipitation, or energy. Good runes, trinkets and weapons. If you do decide to leave behind the greatsword further down the road go 6/0/2/6/0 with either dagger or axe offhand. Axe is seriously underrated so defiantly play around with that. Also, as I mentioned earlier play around with your utilities post patch as signets will not require SotB.
Hope this helps, good luck!

I have said it before and I will say it again.

Downed state is an essential part of combat in Gw2. It forces players to choose between a larger number of options while in combat. You are fighting a 2v2, your teammate drops and you must try and res, or continue on fighting hoping to down one or both of the enemies. Which do you pick? Are you squishy? Do the enemies have single target spike or AoE? Is there poison on your teammate? Are the enemies low? There are many and more questions that we, as players, must answer in split seconds.

Downstate works as intended. It gives professions that might not otherwise be effective team players a role in even or outnumbered fights. Sure, you got someone down in a 2v1, congratulations. But can you finish them? Maybe you aren’t actually Jesus at this game. Just food for thought.

IMO people that complain about downstate also are people that complain about everything else in this game/their lives.

Could you guys upload a clip or two to give me an idea of your play style? Thanks in advance.

Lol ok how about they offer free transfers out of the lower servers. Then we could see who really wants to stay (I’m guessing it will be the vocal minority plaguing this thread).

And signet of the hunt for the initial autoattack

Great group of guys and defiantly trying to improve. They get some good fights in but struggle against condi rangers.

This is my variant, will likely change after the patch slightly.
