Same thing happened to me while I was in wvw. What the hell is this… Submitted a ticket… #130418-000084
This issue requires a HOTFIX now. We want to play and I didnt bought gems yesterday to get some holy hell bugs today.

Well I posted that ecto will fall to 15s each in few weeks after the 100% rare drop implementation from world event, even on 1per event per account it’s 100% sure that it ll tank to the 10s-15s range per piece. Plus, dungeon farms allow us to buy QL70 rare armor parts for 30 badges each that you can salvage for ectos, so if you run every dungeons and every paths everyday you can get 8X3X60tokens= 1440tokens so /30 = about 50 rares per day (50 ecto), BUT most of dungeon takes some long time so its better to farm Cof p1/p2 with DR and get plenty rares to salvage with your dungeons tokens. Doing both dungeons and world events each player can gather enough ecto in a single day to get their ascended earing requiring 50 ectos without buying any on TP, as you get 2 earing max with the stats desired the other days you just sell your ectos for gathering gold… Anyway it will be good to buy ecto back if needed when price will be deflated to their real value (around 10s to 15s)
About cristaline dusts and other T6 do you know such an efficient way to get a large quantity per day (based on playerbase population that provide items) as rare drop about ecto supplies on daily basis and that would make their prices fall? there is none atm so T6 prices are accurates. And yes ecto will keep tanking (higher and higher volume).
Personnaly I wish ecto keep at 20s because i need to make gold selling my farmed ectos… unfortunatelly I highly doubt they ll stay that long.
The only way to remove AOE limit would be to set up a damage value for an aoe attack then that amount of damages is divided byt the amount of people targetted.
Lets say power X deal 1000 damage AOE on 5 target it would deal 200 dmg each on 20 it would deal 50 damages each. With a rule that under 5 target you can t deal more than 200damages per targets so an aoe on a single person targeted would not deal him 1000 but 200. If damages scales down with large AOE targetted people then aoe limit could be remove. More people you hit at once, less damages they receive individualy. To remove aoe limit you have to balance it that way that it can’t be overpower at all. In any other case aoe limit shouldn’t be remove if not balance. About the conditions applied I suggest to add a secondary effect to AOE cleanse and self cleanse that grant people a 7 second status protection that cant be cumulative (would be possible to get that status protection only once each 30sec to prevent perma protection on conditions)
I like any change if people keep in mind the overal game mechanisms, professions and powers balance.
- No more raw money drop from npc nor chests at all as well in outer world, dungeons or wvw.
- Scale up npc depending of the amount of players.
- World events need real dragons that are able to kill people, that players are fear to fight and that have effective AOE zone damages powers with an increased AI no static giant npc: actually they are a joke, really…
- Implement Gem store item like : The precursor random chest for 10k gems // 250 T6 random mat chests for 2500gems // 100 random lodestone chests for 2500gems // a permanent black lion salvage kit for 4000gems // every armor skins set that exist in game for 1600 gems per set (the look with no stats to change the look of your armor)
- Fix the south inner garison door in wvw that it get the gate upgrade when we have upgraded gates finally !!!
- New weapons like 2hand axe / 1hand spear / whip
- Fix game bugs
- Status protection system added with cleanse powers
- Nerf with a bat confusion and retaliation :p
- Ascended weapons / legendary armors parts
ty
I wish we had 1hand ground spear to be able to have an HOPLITE/FALANX playstyle and skin.
=> 1hand spear + shield warrior/guardian
Anyone would like it?
Seriously…
Do you believe such thing will happen when you think that they are trying to make many gold sinks to control the game inflation ???
My opinion about money drops in game is that there should be no raw money drop at all, people would create money selling lowest value items to npc only (these items you can’t sell on TP or noone buying them). Then refund the laurels for the +20% gold drop infusion to people who bought it. That is very much more possible to happen in the future than dailies granting everyone some gold coins lol.
I suggest you to read about how increasing quantity of a currency affect a market and prices. Then you would probably not ask such thing :p
If you want easy gold run cof p1, it is one of the few last place where you can make mass gold in few hours and I highly believe it ll be over by the end of this month with next update.
I am going to buy 200+ of these until they will reach 6g to 7g each (thats they are worth seeing the scarcity on supplies ^^) :p
I am going to farm cof p1, 8h straight everyday for the next two weeks and spend all gold in buying as many as I can to make some stocks and profits in next month just because it’s best item in game :p
I am already trading my stocks of ecto to buy some, ty for the advice !
Thr fotm elitism is worse than cof p1 :p
Find a good guild to run with do laurels and guilds commendations, run fotm 10 and get fully ascended in 2months max.
I like this game. So I am buying 50$ for 4000gems each month to support its development and I use them when I see Store item I want or I convert into gold a part when it’s interresting ratio.
You know people like to play the build THEY WANT to play. With the confusion mechanism it means people have to play and set up their build to be able to counter it. When I use a weapon or a skill is it fair that people to be able to play have to run some specific counter-builds???? No. In that way confusion affecting everyone’s playstyle because the damage scale up with the stacks and giving choice to people to run specific build to manage with it or stay passive not to die: this is already enough of a clue about how powerful is confusion in the wvw metagame.
In order to cleanse confusion if you have a single cleanse you have to be under no other condition damages to be sure it ll remove it and not another. It would mean that only a cleanse all conditions power would be efficient in such situation when you have plenty stacks of different conditions. When you know it can reapply immediately… there is no point really in doubting how powerful is that condition.
BTW I am very curious to know if Confusion is following the rule of the cap limit of 5 target max, if not thats weird…
After some time thinking about that problem I came to the conclusion that cleanse powers should have a secondary effect during 7sec of protection preventing any conditions to reapply immediately on the target that just cleanse and give a window of actions to be able to counter.
I know another game where you could be perma immobilised (CoH) and they fixed it and they added the status protection that is preventing a condition to reapply immediately as it is overpower and break game mechanism : This is what is missing currently in some GW2 powers as secondary effect: a STATUS PROTECTION.
Another possibility would be to add a confusion protection/cleanse to every stability buffs, everyone would then have a way to prevent it and I believe that would be the most balance way to manage with confusion. Cleanse without secondary effect of status protection is way underperforming any counter to the confusion stack spams.
Overal conclusion is : Or anet buff cleanse and grant status protection for 7sec right after using it, or Anet buff stability with a cleanse/protection on confusion, or… both (balance the game in countering confusion and give access to every profession the possibility to choose between stability v0.2 or cleanse v0.2 in their set up)
We could also imagine cleanse cooldown at 3sec and cleanse all cooldown at 5sec.
For people claiming confusion works as intended I ll answer: any disease will “work as intended” it doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be treated, what I mean is that even if it works as intended, it’s not an healthy game mechanism :p and everyone knows it.
Anet should lead a repression campaign and simply hard ban game hackers with no further discussion, plain and simple.
There are some tool that can be implemented for the game overal security against hacks that are catching any data modified that alter the game itself, nothing hard with such check-bot and then you can simply autoban these hackers forever without any further issues.
WvW is a place where we see them in action but for sure in pve it’s the same story for different purposes.
As member of the gaming community I ask Anet to have zerocool attitude with these hackers and to implement a tool to detect and auto ban them.
Support Anet in an Inquisition Campaign to protect our game: post your thoughts and suggestions and share your knowledge above about how to counter hackers and protect our game environment and experience.
We would like that thread to be a place where Anet and community can talk about that major issue affecting everyone’s game experience since almost release… And find some solution we hope…
Tyvm.
CoF is good place to farm gold. It’s true.
Large Quantity of gold in game is making the gold itself less valuable then items’ prices raises. It’s true.
What is the first issue?
Farmers farming gold to afford expensive items?
TP players using TP flipping items or investing based on the inflation raising prices regulary?
At the end Farmer will have to farm even more, and TP players will gather more and more gold.
What should be nerf at first? or both at once?
I know what should be done but I won’t post it noone would like the idea anyway lol, I don’t like it myself ^^
Cleanse should grant 30sec to 1min protection on the condition that has just been cleanse to prevent it to be stack again next second after cleanse use.
Confusion shouldnt stack in intensity its just prevently people from using any skill not to instant die and its way OP game mechanism without any counter than cleanse that is not able to remove it in first place if needed. Even if cleanse you get confused again immediately.
Game need somehow to counter or prevent the confusion stacks at its current mechanism or nerf it hard.
Give a wxp tree for increasing arrow carts power on use for anyone.
Make AC more efficient for defense. WXP AC tree needed.
Rank1 – 5wxp – A fourth attack that proc bleed and handicap for 7sec with increased based damages
Rank2 – 10wxp – range +500ft
Rank3 – 15wxp – increase radius
Rank4 – 20wxp – increase damages by 25%
Rank5 – 25wxp – 1sec immobilize when procing handicap (attack number 2 and 4 of AC)
Hi
The thread is getting polluted with useless comments, trolls, whines and all from both FA and TC.
In the past, there were so many trash talks about KN server along it’s way up but finally we can see where the good guys are, does KN ever acted without any respect any of their opponent both on field and forum? I don’t mean KN are better than others but we are simply good people/guilds. Please take example about it.
There is some serious issues with some FA/TC behaviours and talks when they are communicating together, I believe it’s first a problem about personnality than servers but these people are painting both your servers with their words. Psychotherapy IRL can help also on personnal issues: servers competition < game community.
So far great match, gj whoever win and KN playing soft not to burn out like you are all doing slowly lol.
See you on the battlefield.
If they would give us orbs back they should grant some buff on the keep area itself that is holding it.
+100 points in all skills / +500supplies max / +hp walls and gates / more guards / +5level on each npc defending that keep etc… but these buff should affect only people in that keep like the guild buffs are doing.
Then orbs should allow the place holding it to be tougher to take.
Simple action that Anet should have: Make an official thread warning players from such behaviour, ban grieffers, plain and simple solution. You agree on the game terms and if you just sabotage in the “war spirit” it’s the game itself that you are sabotaging so you should be award a Grenth Ban without any further explaination. If hundreds of players complain and bring clues of such behaviour I believe Anet should do something.
Really Anet please do something and communicate about it that it ll put an end to every hackers/exploiters/grieffers activity in wvw.
There is nothing to expect from such people just right kick them forever, ban is the only thing that will work with them.
Anet care of your gaming community when they are giving facts and asking support against grieffer. For the sake of game fair environment, you have to be mercyless with all these grieffers/exploiters/hackers.
Rampage is not useless but you have to find out yourself how and when it s really OP. It’s very specific (you ll have to find out yourself I won’t give any hint :p)
I wish people stating something “too easy” wouldn’t break it for everyone else like AC example: these claiming it too easy don’t even play it anymore after the changes I am pretty sure and every others avoid running it…
They should set up the year of wvw like football cup season cup. Everyone meet everyone once then at the end of the year winner and reset score. And one cup per year means more than one cup per week !
Okay this is taking ages and this is still not fix. Garrison weak point is inner south gate because that kitten gate is never getting REINFORCED whenever you upgrade garrison !!!!!
Please FIX IT !
Warbanner should rez dead players also, they will fix it that it will work as intended ! This is working as intended on npc but not on players atm.
TC had such hard time to do something else than zerg sticking that it takes them 3hours to capture KN garison and now they whines it’s OP lol, should start learning game mechanisms first then ^^
I was rezzing lord with warbanner and I am very tough to kill. We had good fun fight was epic and took ages and plenty bags for the keep you didn’t have it for free you must pay with blood lol.
And yes it’s a very specific build. For sure you learned something.
I love defending garison when it’s all open in lord room. If i could stay longer i would do everything to hold it 3more hours if needed and I would :p Well you sent enough bodies as death tribute to finally deserve to get it ^^
Titan War (your favorite warrior warbanner soldier from KN :p )
PS: I love T2 and if TC wins this time its shorter the gap then we will stay here forever yeah !!!=> T1 is lame I have seen it myself so now I know we are good where we are)
GJ for this match TC
FA is falling apart
Alone defending a camp. It’s the story of 5 TC hitting a fully upgrade camp in EB, did you like the balista? :p then they reset wvw because you died so poorly :p
When I am playing as commander and leading KN zerg I ll hit QL often and the camp next to it but I ll focus on FA because they are cute when they run and die.
Titan War [LORD] [CO] (was in CD you remember ? :p )
PS: TC commanders and guilds (ex CD) playing in EU time pst me to agree on the FA BL invasion hours for tomorrow. thx
PS2: For these who think TC and KN are double teaming FA this is not true at all !
