Guild Wars 2

I find it cute that some people feel the need to define what was until now a guilds’ business and fairplay. Bringing “rules” is kind of betraying the gvg spirit that until now needed nothing else than mutual agreements and respect between guilds in order to exist. That’s my opinion.
GvG has grown without such thread because it doesn’t need any kind of “rules of conduct” “book of the law” or such… Going this way is betraying the unofficial game experience that GvG is giving to people involved in this.
I don’t see the point of this thread as the gvg are basicly already each others agreement on terms on their own encounter without any third party “rules” bring out from nowhere unless you try to bring some kind of standard in encounters there is no point going this way : you can’t bring anything new.
Constraints can only hurt. Anything going to “punishment”, “rules”, “have to”, etc… is really not what guilds were looking for when they went gvg way. It was a refreshing and freedom space for two guilds that wanted to fight each others in order to increase their team gamestyle and shared experience, based on coordination, organisation, friendship, placement, team builds and composition. What is going on with an official leaderboard and this idea about rules is going on the opposite way of gvg spirit.
This thread is more about creating an official gvg league… and I don’t think that it was the intent of the guilds involved. So it would never work like that…

They said the free reset day is set up every 29th February.

You better ask for a specific arena and leave wvw maps for what they have been designed for. There is a place for each thing and each thing find its place. GvG players have no place dedicated atm so better ask Anet to give you one and break away from wvw environment. tyvm

GvG = corrupting game.
GvG = Polluting wvw maps.
GvG= can do your stuff in EB JP.

The GvG is not an Anet Game content nor aspect of the game. I see no issue regarding this fact. You can’t claim to be against a wvw content, balance, or modification in order to satisfy a minority of players that are themselves not caring much of wvw community and are polluting the wvw maps and corrupting the wvw spirit.

Gandalf The Grey.1058:

It took them 6 months to implement this color change. You know how HARD it is to change colors?!?!! Phew, you out did yourself.

:)
20/08/13 major wvw update:
A bunch range of new colors has been introduced in order to increase the wvw game experience. Pink is also coming up soon^^. No longer soulbounded: Ecstasy can be sale on trading post now.

Gandalf The Grey.1058:

Summary of ANets live stream:
Soon.
Possibly soon.
Maybe in the future.

Possibly soon.

lol

A transmutted item with a purple color text with exotic stats is no more a legendary item. It’s recognised to be stat wised to exotic but it’s a transmuted typed item. It’s no longer a legendary. Only the text “LEGENDARY” is truly one that will be upgraded in next updates. If you transmuted it then there is no hope to recover its original legendary status. You have the skin left only. Such transmuted item won’t meet the requirements to be upgraded in stats to be on par with the new ascended tier weapons.
BTW it s been MONTHS of warnings : telling people to NEVER EVER transmute a legendary with an exotic for its stats keeping legenday skin only. Unless Anet said you can and they NEVER said it was safe to transmute legendaries… Many people repeat why it shouldn’t be done but soon people will complain while they have been warned… Here is coming rivers of tears…

Contiguous.1345:

Who are you to question the gods?

lol

If they replace BL lakes with ground that would be awesome.

Flashy Pink instead of Red. tyvm

Don’t transmute it… ( This is a serious warning !!! )

yes temporaly rolled back modification until 3rd september they said

The last update confirmed my boredom ^^

Don’t expect anything you won’t be disappointed also

It’s too late to expect a “Darkness Falls” map like.
But I can say that it would be an awesome place controlled by the server that is leading the ppt match in order to access a specific map where you could kill thousands npc to reach a legendary giant boss that would grant a 10% chance to drop a precursor and that legendary monster would appear only after controlling that map over 5/7 days in the current week matchup, it would require zerg rush in this timeframe to raid it. So people would zerg into the legendary boss at the end of the week (when it is becoming available) matchup in order to get a precursor. Legendaries weapons would mean something else than gold farm then…
But like I said it’s too late to give some expected and quality bonus contents like that.
What is missing gw2 is an epic unlockable map linked to wvw maps where one of the involved wvw server can lead a server RAID once a week to beat a legendary powerful creature that grant a larger chance to get precursors after beating it. Endgame unlockable bonus reward content that’s some sort of at least…

asura necro might be more efficient then

Just to be fair please turn the red color into a pink flashy one please ^^

As a color-blind person I support A-net new colors
May you turn the red into some pink flashy also please would be helpful ?

=> => Happy zergs in pve now, what did you expect after only 4 months ? ^^

Seriously… what did you expect from August patch???? I am not surprised at all it’s full of emptiness. But I feel like it’s just great opportunity to break out more often from playing game and do some other things until they really bring up serious content by the end of the year. Don’t expect anything in the next two months either. Sorry but you have to be realistic… Anet is in no way going to release anything really great before few months, what they bring atm is to keep everyone’s waiting and playing…

DeWolfe.2174:

Titan, I actually agree with most of what you wrote. I think power creep is another issue thats lessening the fun value. High burst and one shotting in PvE is kitteny game play. When a fight last 3 seconds, it’s not skillful or thought based at all.

Yes, power creep is already an issue in gw2 when you are downleveled in area levels lower than 80 and that you are fully stat cap with your equipment, so this is not going to be better with the new top tier equipment releases.

And about wvw, I will say that stalkers class in City of Villains was the most unbalanced stealth class I ever saw in every MMORPG.
At start, they could one shot in pvp anyone while being under stealth: dead player in 2sec with no possible counter it took almost 2 years to balance the class with a specific system where the stalker had a cap stealth value possible and where everyone could have a perception bonus depending on the accuracy value that you had; then the stealth system was based on a calculation between the stalker’s stealth value compared to the perception stat of other ennemy players around him: then you could see the stalker in a range around you depending on your perception value/stealth value of stalker, so the stalker could be in a stealth position only at some range from his target: it was no more possible for them to stand safely near to their target to one shot them but they had to work on their gameplay to be fast: hit and run was how they were playing then.
So Thieves in GW2 are not balance because the stealth mechanism has no counter system but they are not the most unbalanced stealth class I ever saw. I think a perception system in order to counter the stealth mechanisms in GW2 in a range radius around yourself depending on your accuracy could be implemented : Anet could get these data to see how it worked and how it can be apply in gw2 environment: stealth/perception mechanism in CoH might give some good way to balance thieves in gw2 just saying^^.

Bovinity.8610:

Go home, Titan. You are drunk.

I don’t drink alcohol ^^
And about this week matchup gg everyone, I think it’s the week I spent the less time in game wvw so far 4hours ^^

Well the “free time I had irl to play is about to be over” because I am going back to care of people’s health from september 2013, I am degreed in International trade and marketing EU highschool but after years in “business plans” I wanted to change my life and I went to red cross school to become nurse, yes I am nurse but I had 4000 hours to waste this year lol. MMORPG is a large hobby I have since AO and many other games but on the other side it’s only when I have free time. And it’s about to be over with free time in few weeks Just giving my 2cents to go the right way for GW2 and Anet. Btw I have 4legendaries that I crafted but the precursors I used were bought from TP or luckily drop from MF. I don’t talk for my own as I have what I wanted from the virtual legendaries items, I just point out a major issue where playing 4k hours is not rewarding any drop from npc loot or chest for a desired item from most of the player base. So I am just sharing them my game experience that can explain a large issue that is encountering the player base with the game system. + the skill lags and server lags totally gamebreaking issues that affect both pve and wvw (even if it’s really most of time a large issue in wvw large encounters)
I can talk about the “black hand” critic system: it’s a system that generate a 100% chance that an event to happen in a game after missing for X times (X is define by the number of attempts or time related) : this is not implemented in GW2 so some people could spend all their life without dropping anything that they seek for in this virtual MMO: as GW2 has no “black hand” critic system implemented it’s a major issue for the playerbase. NC-Soft own the very first “black hand” critic system when they implemented a fix in their game CoH with the balance about the dodging and tohit chance in pvp fights to counter the perma dodge that occured with the rng tohit check “black hand” issue (when the system rng rolled always a miss when checking tohit chance in fights – later it has been also implemented such critic success system about the rng loot chances -)
I am not paid to give feedback but I can tell Anet this:
1- some serious rework about stealth mechanisms are needed
2- the condition damages are not viable most of time and need to be rework that raw damage replace condition in the case when conditions and dot are not efficients
3- retaliation is over the top and need some balance.
4- magic find need a complete modification
5- there is no virtual added value in the crafting design and mechanism in gw2 and this is a serious major issue that is completely invalidate the game economy
6- if you really want to generate real $ with the gem “cash shop” you have to have a high value of gem per gold ratio first and second you have to release alternative items to game content items that can be purchase in gem store with real $=> pay real $ not to have to go through the timegated content in order to have items weapons and armors: this is not going to hurt anyone and will generate $.
Some other game balance are needed but these are on the top of the list.
These personnal feedback are based on 4k hours of game (90% in wvw). And a backbone of 14 years old experience in the MMORPGs lifes (AO / DaoC / Eve Online / Age of Conan/ City of Heroes and Villains/ Aion…)

(3days ago) My last post was in pve section where I complained that after playing 4000hours I NEVER drop any precursor but the only way I get them was from buying with gold at game start on TP when they were cheap or dump loads of exotic items in RNG MF to get some in order to craft my legendaries. As I consider it s a major issue not to drop any from PLAYING the game (after 4k hours of game – seriously-) from npc or chests loots, my pve post was infracted by moderator because it wasn’t constructives criticisms… yes it was not criticisms : it was factuals datas. My second posts that was saying this is not a fair way to deal with the customers posts to delete them with some pseudo-reasons was also infracted because it’s not a way to communicate with moderators. So…
So I won’t post any comment on wvw section neither because another major issue that has not been adress yet is the SKILL LAG in large encounters.
But seriously I like wvw and gw2 but irl even if I like my Ferrari, if the engine have an issue it s going to be fix as soon as I tell about it. A virtual game company is no way different to the one that sold me my sport car: they are said to be the carrier of the trade good that they offer and to deal seriously about it. So Anet be serious about fixing these gamebreaking issues and stop infracting posts because it doesn’t looks good. Deal with issues and you won’t have to deal with such posts that are only giving facts. tyvm. How many $ have been generated by selling the game, now you have to care well of your customers about that virtual good that you have been selling: virtual good and service but real money has been invested. Then you have to give a quality virtual service: if it doesn’t work if there is a gamebreaking issue it have to be deal with immediately regarding the financial aspect of it; A company trading virtual services is responsible of its quality and good functionnality : and actually this is not always true… when it’s such situation you keep in beta test. The notes that have been given to the game itself by specialised newspapers and the nomination of the 2012 game of the year has been given without knowing the real big issues that were not fix when game went out from Beta because shareholders pushed for a fast release.
The consideration that customers can feel through these moderation policy is not very kind. The gamebreaking issues are the most reason why I am slowly but surely playing less and less. This is not a good sign after just one year of game release when customers are already starting to slowly move away because of some issues that are still NOT FIX.
This post is related to wvw pve and anything else related to gw2 because it’s about the overal game breaking issues that everyone keep asking for HOTFIX but it’s not coming…
My last word will be : Even Anarchy Online the oldest MMORPG that is still very active have ALWAYS upgraded their game engine every 2years and kept fixing gamebreaking issues with a hotfix policy this is how they are still here after 12years : that is seriously lacking in Anet policy and I suggest you to change this because it’s not serious business how the issues are dealt with atm.
There is nothing wrong with recognising how a company can be lacking in some specific ways only if you manage to deal with how to adapt to react.
Climbing the MMORPG charts is not the hard part : many has done it. And many has fallen as fast as they climbed : the hard part is to stay on long terms on the top and this need the company to have a serious policy and a permanent fast reaction time. Something that Anet is lacking atm. You can infract me for giving you advices and relating my game experience that won’t be anyway helpful to anyone if you do so…
In conclusion I can tell you that Anarchy Online’s unic and efficient financial game model named “free play program” paid by in game advertisement from real life companies in this futurist virtual world has been created based on the report I have been writing them in 2004 advicing them to go this way: they recognise now that this policy has been leading their MMORPG to last for years and has been a major tool in their long success. So my advice for Anet is to seriously deal with gamebreaking issues IF they really manage to last long. If not, well…

Thank you Anet to take in consideration advices to help the game to last long and get better.

My bad, I am really confused now everyone knows I am lacking in wvw tactics and in knowledge of the class I play (warrior) …

I am going to the beach but before I ll watch our 12/08 raid in EB on SoR forces: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=2dCBVgyAGOg

See you later on.

Titan.3472:

Grats to JQ for the win this week. About SoR and their fields fights that they win 90% of time .. lol
I was on the beach since reset but I logged in to play yesterday and :
Yesterday in EB I played to hold our keep all open from both zerg servers rushes for hours (6hours long), our main keep had no more walls inner and outter nor gates standing any more for all that time, it was just all open keep to lord room. SoR and JQ zergs wiped constantly and repeatidly (ennemies zergs 100% failed rushes 6hours long lolololol btw nothing else flipped on EB map ^^). We farmed these zergs so hard that I gained 2 wxp ranks not moving around the map (10k xwp in kills in this 6hours time) We farmed you soooooo hard SoR you might have bring all your family but hey we loose with pride better than trying to win with lame and fail, JQ will just win fair and square so it’s all fine^^. For me SoR is no way a wvw threat unlike JQ has always been. Considering the way many SoR guilds play in wvw they are more like parasitic worms ^^. I imagine the SoR TS : Keep throwing bodies like Xerxes to Spartans !!!!!!
Some people on SoR are talking how expert they are in open field fights… XD best jokes ever. After daily farm I had to go to sleep and tomorrow I am going to the beach again, may be I ll get some time to farm SoR just after.
Much fun until the next reset. Good job JQ on the win.

Hi Titan, I have missed you! Its nice you took a day out to come and visit us in GW2, but may I also suggest visiting reality before posting too? You comment about losing whith pride, but take a swipe at SoR about failing so it kind of mutes your losing pride, plus I dont even know where to start on how you read the match up, there is so much wrong there i could go on for hours. Please teach me how to get wxp by running too Titan, i would love to hear that.

If SoR is so bad at open fights then why do you still run from us Titan? I think I may have found the answer, the attached pic is Titans declined application to IRON, so lets look at the evidence.

1 Titan applies to IRON as he respects them, gets rejected and runs to BG
2 Titan becomes a BG player, sees IRON in the open field and run away.
3 Titans knowledge of IRON spreads panic in CA and they all run away.
4 CAs knowledge of IRON spreads panic in BG and they all run away.

EDIT: I see you are french, maybe I got it wrong and you have just being doing a bit of parkour? Turning running away into a sport

When I was on SoR I applied to Iron triangle and was a member of Iron Quaggan that I wasn’t representing most of time. I have not been taken in Iron when I was in SoR because I don’t use TS. But without I spank you XD this is my point. I haven’t stay in SoR as you guys are so selfish to believe to be the bests but you are not at all, nor you proved anything yet.
Spvp wrex vs me anytime 1on1 okay
For GvG 10vs10 or 15vs15 or 20vs20 it depends on my lords and others guilds members but I am all ready to GvG Iron anytime. I ll even ask for a record video for memories.
You should train then ^^ because we will beat you. At least that will be best way for you to accept to show everyone that you are really as good as you keep saying. We all know what will happen XD

You are claiming to be good, well it’s a first step, the easiest. Scared of iron zerg? not at all but considering numbers it’s always to be clever as Sparta sometimes, I don’t give free bags unlike some people keep throwing bodies lol

btw we can all agree registering on Iron triangle forum if they post your info in gw2 forum is not safe and they shows how they are not trustworthy: security issue related only… Thanks for proving another point about your guild… such fail troll should be adress.

I feel sorry for these that transfer over SoR to wvw because they don’t find backbones of a real wvw server goal from any of their residents guilds. When you post a recruitment thread don’t forget to tell newcomers to SoR that they will fight alone for the week match victory…

I saw a SoR map zerg wiping in a balista field and never came back :p

Lol SoR will start crying about that double team that they kept asking for : should be around pages 4-5 of the thread matchup.
Have fun this week and good luck all 3 sides.

Trolls aside now, on a serious note, highlight of great fun in this week match in wvw :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiQdonXiLtI

See you all at reset, was a fun week. Next one should be the same. XD

So 121 members… Definitely not 4000.

Got infracted for rude post. So I have to writte differently:

My source informed me that Iron has more like between 300 and 400 members unless you gave your tag to anyone.
Isn’t it a childish lie? Everyone can make his own point of view. Hoping Iron members are trustworthy. They says they are good. Are they really? They should be able to find out if they are just answering a few questions. Are they a WvW guild working for their server weekly match ppt and win : they stated they are ranking fights over ppt and they also stated not caring of WvW but more of GvG… Are they somehow high ranked in GvG ? Do their members are high ranked in spvp? Are they able to complete fotm 40+?Are they dodging? I can’t answer these questions (or thread deleted XD) but I have my opinion. They use TS and have a nice tag and they always says that they never wipe.
How great is really Iron (with the equivalent of the half of Monaco states amount population as members)? Everyone’s own opinion.
And now they are absorbing Vizunah Square population ?? ok…
Ok now ? XD

pop-corn

PS: This one can’t be infracted I don’t have an inflamatory tone…

waiting for a 4000 members pic’ :p

Thanks for the week match was fun. Good try SoR ^^, see you on next reset. XD
Giving pugs a tag doesnt make them anyhow better or more skilled but it looks like the guild is large. it’s only a lure.

This week was intense but BG won.

Titan War

in all honesty, seen bigger comeback

Right now there is exactly 25h left until match ends. so its 100tics. BG lead by 16 000 it means SoR have to hold an average +160ppt on 25hours long on the BG scoring: that will never happen so better go to pavillion to make some gold and keep your strenght for next reset now. XD

The overall points to gain are around 70000+/-5%. Considering the TC ratio they will gain 130k/530k=0.2452 X70000 =17169 +/-5% (so between 16311 and 18027) Then TC final score will be very close to 146807 (between 145949 and 147665)
So there is an overal points left of 70000-17169=52831 to share between BG and SoR. BG has 16k points ahead so it gives a net points left of 52831-16000=36831 points that will be available to BG and SoR. it means if BG gain more than 18k points in next 25hours we can’t loose anyhow.

Final score will be BG 239000 SoR 224000 TC 147000 (edited for the missing points after recalculating)

Pop-Corn and Champagne for all

Thanks for the week match was fun. Good try SoR ^^, see you on next reset. XD

The funniest thing about skill lag is in large scale fights when you have been condition bombed and you have NO WAY TO LAUNCH YOUR CLEANSE but the D.O.T. is not lagging though… So whatever you can do else you ll die then.

World ranks should be account bound. Anet are you seriously considering us going to take each toon to rank 9500+? I am not going to play any of my others level 80 toons than my main one until this change. So i will most likely never buy any new toon slot.

Stealth and the overall thief mechanism has to be rework. It’s not a nerf it’s a balance. Why this class would be the only one relying on damage mitigation much more efficient than any other kind available to other classes that allow them to run full berserker while other need sustain and others ways to hold high dps running in ptv gears while not being able to do as much dps as thieves. This need a balance.

Its based on wvw game experience. I see thieves taking over any encounter most of time. A counter argument to say thieves are underperforming may be?
The main issue is the fact that stealth can be cast anytime while in fight and this is the best damage mitigation of the game because you can’t be seen nor target AND it buff your dps… Once fight start I think thieves shouldn’t be able to stealth until out of combat, in fight they should be able to use blind but not being able to stealth each second right after they hit.

when a class is able to take over any others 90% of time then there is an issue that need to be adress. stealth mechanism need less easy mode.

Well BG is playing cool but SoR is working hard dont burn yourself out

LOL (that guild will recognise them and why)
Keep on you ll be stars on video ^^

and right now at Longuevue may be it didnt happen Iron wiped ??? :p
Welcome to BG bl ^^

Shifty.4985:

We havent wiped today though :/ thats the awkward funny thing is

Strange I saw you wiping inside BG garison at lord room with a 50men zerg 2omega and 4alpha. May be these Iron that died are fakes

Omg… Propaganda…
