Guild Wars 2

3 part event, halloween was 4 parts and was a week, I would assume at least 2 days per part. Its one time as in, when over it is done, not 12pm to 1pm done.

They are gonna add new classes, a third heavy is needed. There is no need to worry about balance, they will balance things as they have been, it wont come out completely broken but it may not be perfect from the start either, like every other class.

They can get in trouble, they will be warned and with enough marks be banned so let them continue, continue reporting, and while they laugh now they wont be later.

A tangent to what you mentioned, “Next Year”/ I highly doubt they will repeat the same events… any other MMO does not do it. Mad King may be back, candy corn as well, Halloween themed items will be but not the same stuff, not the same rewards, not the same dungeon (perhaps minigames though). It would be a halloween event but different from the previous year like any other game.

You do realize they have a team dedicated to making the game work, one for new content, and now a bot hunting team. They are doing all these things at once without wasting resources from one group or another.

You are doing something wrong cause I have never had to grind any events or anything to level. Are you filling out maps? moving to new areas not just say human to human to human area but all the beginning levels and so on? That alone gives me enough xp and then some. I got a 3rd character to 80 today and I am still filling out soundgorge and Orr.

No one would be saying “move somewhere else” but the you-know-what insensitive people in the thread already.

I highly doubt events will repeat, it would be boring. They would have another halloween event with basic items like candy corn again and even the mad king ought to show up but the events will be different.

Some of you guys just dont get it. Yea here people sit in the hurricane worried about a game, not their homes, families, property, and lives, just a game. Of course people worry about all these things including guild wars. Put yourself in the same position, honestly, would you enjoy missing out on an event, never again to be able to obtain this title and possible item? Forever to know that no matter what you do you can not obtain it again? Yea some people have it bad, some people have it so so and others are fine, but why can people not also be annoyed or bothered that they will not get something in a game they clearly enjoy a lot. No one is claiming the game is more important then other things but are asking, that since such a large amount of people and likely player base, will be effected that perhaps something can be done to provide them equal chance to have these things.

Great so if I do loose power I miss out on something I will never, ever have the chance to obtain again, be it an item in addition to the party achieve for the title that others will surely be showing off. I’ve been lucky so far and it wont be bad here save for potential power loss, of course we have taken precautions. Is there no way that these one time things that are act 4 specific could be obtained for those who have no chance to obtain them at all? I think thats the bottom line that people, especially those in it for collecting and achieves, would want.

People need to learn to read better next time, it was clear that there would be no interaction, loot, or any ‘event’ in game terms but an event as in a moment in time you could only watch through a camera instead of personally. The bursting of the statue and camera angles are gone save videos and images. Yes, the Mad King does pop back out once in a while, just like in the cut scene, but the statue is not there to be destroyed. Its there to get people interested in fighting him, to taunt them, to try and get out but be put back into his world where the players have to fight him in a dungeon.

It was cool and exactly as expected. If you read about the forums you would have seen mod posts practically saying it was just a cutscene. People were pissed because they assumed they were missing loot.

My group had no errors or bugs in fighting. Sometimes I wonder if people just use bugs as an excuse to explain their own failure. Yea log in and DC problems sure but nothing about the dungeon was bugged.

complaining about fairness, about loosing abilities in the beginning? Seriously, it’s the mad king its not meant to be fair

yea The last event holds the last part of the emissary title as well, a title and perhaps item that people will loose out on because of something completely out of their control. while its not important as compared to other concerns, it is still an additional concern.

I may not be able to craft these legendary halloween items but I want this last part event item if there is one. I can’t even have a friend collect an extra one to give me in the future as they are soulbound. Maybe the 4th part wont have an item like that but it’d suck if it does. I love collecting things like this.

Press Y hit looking for group, everyone standing by the dungeon (which there are plenty of) will see the symbol and you don’t need to say anything.

Just because the eastern states do not represent the entire player base or the majority does not mean this is not a reasonable request. All those saying deal with it should consider themselves in the same situation as I doubt you would be saying the same things. Many people love to collect and want to experience everything, they don’t get to because the power goes out it sucks, but when a huge amount of people, states go out of power, there ought to be consideration. It’s not our fault that a freak storm is coming, this isn’t like, “Im going to miss it because I have a halloween party to go to on the same day”.

12:00 PM PT/19:00 GMT

copied from the site…

anyway PM is the afternoon, AM is night. So afternoon tomorrow.

Im just worried with the storm coming I will loose power and miss out on the end of the events…

This is such a dumb topic. “I only care about myself so other people should conform to what I think is right.” No, sorry, too bad. Night capping does not equal win anyway, superior forces do, those who know what they are doing do. If a good server is going up against a mediocre one and the mediocre one takes everything during the night, they still will not win, it wont matter as the better server will hold things for longer when they are around more.

No mater the case, no suggestion will change this, there will be no server locks, time locks, or anything of the sort. This is a constant battle, if one force gets low in numbers due to sleep and another doesn’t, sorry but they care more about their virtual land. I know for a fact plenty of people on TC loosing sleep because they want to ensure we keep what we have, it’s dedication.

it’s whatever really, sometimes it’s justified, other times they don’t deserve to gloat but if you let it get to you then your at fault.

it’s almost a legendary for a skin that isn’t well, legendary. These sort of events ought to allow people to have a fair and easy chance to obtain them over the week it happens without resorting to playing the market or mass farming just to get enough.

…Do you not steam roll in low levels? You might have a problem then…

Rubbish! If i buy a game i shouldn’t have to go the extra mile to in order to compete on a level playing field.

Have you been on the receiving end of these one sided matchups?? You know where the whole map is one colour and it isn’t worth entering WvW….

I have been on the other side of this before and on it. It has not had to do with night capping, it has to do with superior force and tactics, a better server dominates, stop looking for excuses.

I think it’s selfish to try and dictate what other players can do.

It seems a bit much, there ought to be at least some time between stealth. Far as I understood stealth in this game as stated by the team (Long ago when I was searching for any info while waiting; not necessarily completely accurate) there was not meant to be permanent stealth, there was meant to be moments of well timed stealth requiring skill to manage and confuse your enemy rather then being able to hide in it constantly. You know to not do what WoW does basically. This is nothing like that idea and I have to disagree with it being ‘correct’.

On the other side of the coin though this is something the zerg should be able to counter, to discover and take care of one way or another, stuns, AOE and so on. While it should not happen its only that much more powerful when the opposing force doesn’t deal with it properly either.

In GW2 dragons are equivalent to natural disasters… do you ride a volcano?

Even explained to me I still don’t get how people spam abilities in chat, [strike], [strike],[strike],[strike], over and over and over.

Mounts will not happen and Centaurs are one of THE enemies in the game, they will not be on our side without major change and they are far too proud to ever let anything ride them.

again mounts are a no, they just simply will not happen and definitely not like this.

Centaurs have helped humans in GW1. We had a centaur hero in there. We had a charr hero in there too, named Pyre. Now they are playable race and human allies. You really are too narrow minded to see it, but that is just you, fortunately

A single or several people helping does not account for an entire race. Assume for example Asura wish to ride humans as mounts. We are friends with them now so it must be okay right? Are you gonna sit there and tell me humans will just be like “Sure asura, please ride me as you please, keep me in a stable, and call me booka as much as you like!” right, over exaggerating but you get the point, I should hope.

You want suggestions to improve your idea? I can supply you with none, there will be no mounts, they want you to enjoy the world and not over look things, to use waypoints to travel fast if you must. Mounts are not necessary and flying specifically would ruin things. Land mounts would not per say ruin things as significantly but unless they do literally nothing but let you ride upon them they simply will not happen. If a land mount should ever be made it will not be sentient, not centaur, human, charr, or otherwise.

How would a mount improve the game? Cause honestly besides RPing it has literally no purpose then to explain speed rather then gaining some magic to move you faster.

Would be nice to have confirmation here, I have tons of boxes saved and after the announcement a few keys. Will these keys and boxes have the new stuff?

My friends saw one early on in tarnished coast when they fought the shadow behemoth.

to any complaining about the ‘night’ why can you only think in relevance to yourself? Night is different per person, a general population may vanish at certain hours but what do you want them to do? Match servers whos time on is near exactly the same? Sorry but no, if your army wants to sleep then it sleeps and looses out. Capping while another server is gone though has not once guaranteed victory, the time people are asleep is less then when they are awake meaning if they PLAY WELL they can hold their leads in the day even if they lost things at night.

The game has tons of PvE available, I wont argue whether or not it has more then MMO x or not but the game has only released and it has tons to do with plenty planned in the future. They have an entire team just for future content.

Mounts will not happen and Centaurs are one of THE enemies in the game, they will not be on our side without major change and they are far too proud to ever let anything ride them.

again mounts are a no, they just simply will not happen and definitely not like this.

This is the most instant gratification post ever and it has crushed a portion of my soul to see. This is the worst train of thought in existence, for any game, or anything. Pay to win or instant gratification is lazy.

I’ve seen a great community on my server so I have no idea what you are talking about.

yes but you seem to wish to express your view as THE view of our server when it clearly is not. Overall the view contradictory to yours, we want people who will fight no matter how we are doing, win or lose, have fun. If this is how you feel then you should check out a variety of other servers that are winning were you will ‘feel’ better. I mean if you aren’t going to enjoy the way our server works then why stay?

Twinbros- your attitude is not a welcome one on our server, obviously as everyone disagrees with you. If you have to win to have fun then please, transfer while it is free.

You should join the mumble, especially if you are on the homeland, there is always good times in there regardless of what some scrubs might be arguing about in map/team chat in game. I mean people even check in to just make sure we are having fun then worrying about winning or who lost what. Sure arguments will happen from time to time, blame might be given, but that us truly few and far between.

The main mentality I see out of TCers is humor in the face of nasty over-matched weeks. If you have an ego about needing constant wins, then a life of steady server transfers is apparently more your speed.

I’ll stick with the guys discussing favorite pizza toppings and putting together elaborate suicide plans for fun over ever feeling down that I am not currently winning the pixels. And really for a mostly pug group with a sense of humor about WvW, I’d say TC does a respectable job. The server has a good reputation for a reason. Friendly people who still like to show up to the occasional fight.

…I just read this and had to say that with the naked dance party that happened despite BG owning pretty much all of our [TC] borderlands for the time and trying to spawn camp from Spiritholme, this is definitely true. lol

(IDK why but I couldn’t quote)

anyway, this is exactly why I love TC, we don’t get discouraged, we still fight on almost full strength in the face of defeat. It’s about fun here, if it’s not our bracket then whatever, lets still try and get as many points as we can before the week is over. The non-defeatist attitude just makes for a better experience even if loosing.

I think downed state would b alright if, once completely dead, you could not be rezzed and your screen went black, only allowing you to go back to a waypoint.

To each his ow I suppose, but I have to ask, if no discussion or input for the Anet team was desired out of this post then why bother? It seems like an attempt to get people to feel the same way or to justify leaving. I wont say lots don’t feel the same on many of these issues but if we are talking, expressing feelings/ideas, it seems far too many want instant gratification and when something isn’t exactly as expected within its launch time then it’s terrible. Sometimes you gotta stick things out and wait, it will get better, but overall this game has had a better launch then many other MMO’s. Anet does listen and is continuing to fix the game, the changes however will not happen overnight and not everyone will be happy with the state of the game for a while as they get hung up on certain points. I mean this one skill point and various bugged events have bothered me, the changes to guardian, the balancing for PvP, but it’s not gonna make me leave when the over all product is great, evolving, and still being fixed up from day one. This game is never gonna be the ‘killer of WoW’(besides WoW is doing that to itself) but it’s a game worth playing, unique in what it brings to the MMO world and is recognized as a game changer, an evolution, not a revolution, it does a hell of a lot more right then it does wrong and a lot of the ‘wrong;’ is being worked on. Additionally a lot of these issues really are just that, personal issues that do not reflect any actual game breaking issues such as a few of the WvW complaints. Whatever the case I clearly disagree effectively with almost the entire post, but despite both our opinions what matters is the player base still in the game, and despite the amount complaining on the forums about x and y and wanting to leave because of it thousands more just play the game and ignore the forum. Forums are always the vocal minority.

Well here’s to chance.

we really do need this, getting the word out on alliances and what not we still can not organize anything effectively without something in a central hub like these forums.

those that exploited and stock piled will be dealt with in time and things will balance out.

people are just annoy4ed they can’t get a legendary weapon asap like other MMOs and that it requires real work, legendary effort, to get. Also since the stats aren’t any better then exotics they think its not legendary, cool, don’t get one then, the entire point is they are hard to get skins not stats. Honestly the only response needed to people who still want to complain and say the system is cheap and so on, deal with it. It hasn’t stopped those who are willing to put in effort.

So I’ve been looking to find a bit of a guide out there on what is needed in WvW for specific classes and come up short. Sure Mesmer portal, Thief invis, Guardian reflect and so on but I would like a more comprehensive guide. I am looking for a decent amount of input to really get an idea here.
What are the preferred roles in WvW of each class?
What skills, weapons, and even armor sets are specifically useful per class?
Any other tips and tricks specific to a class not mentioned elsewhere?

Obviously a majority of this will be opinions but it all helps regardless.

They will not do race or class changes, think about it, not only does race affect your choices in the story but, cultural weapons and armor, they don’t want other races having it.

Would be nice, I like to reposition and let go of the mouse but then it starts spinning seconds later.

You can’t simply change something in a second. They are fixing issues but they wont be fixed immediately.

While I am sure the issue is known I just had to share this moment after the last reset. We would like you to imagine the sad music played on those commercials were you can sponsor a child or save a puppy.
