Guild Wars 2

It’s like they’re in our heads… watching… listening… watching… seeing, reading our minds smelling our thoughts.. what was that? Did you see that I think I saw something… heard something… are you my Mummy?

SykkoB.9465:

dude come on ur smarter then this. u ahve been a pretty logical poster in the pass.

People r not complaining that they r now working on and acknowledge it now. They r upset at the fact it has taken soo long, and the fact that he said over the thousand of ppl who have reported this, for 6 months now were to vague. By him saying that it was kinda a slap in the face to there player base, who have been playing and offering advice and details on thes bugs for along time.

It also says that all the other bugs we have been reporting on will prob never be fixed. Untill someone from anet Stumbles across it one day in wvw, when they actually play there game for more then 5 minutes.

There was no slap in the face involved or intended, I’m sure. Yes, it took awhile to get acknowledgement. We all know that. However, now that we (finally) have, people still going on about it are becoming like the chihuahua barking at a fly on the wall. Yip yip yip with nothing to be gained from it.

Maybe, just maybe, we could convince someone from ANet to share with us some ideas that would better serve with regards to reporting these types of things in a matter that will seem less vague? It would be a better expenditure of our energies, that’s for sure.

Well done JQ.

Approaching 30 omegas today on tcbl.

It’s sad actually. As a TC player I hoped to learn something from JQ, but the only tactic they’ve been using is “pay to win”.

Is it still pay to win if the Omegas are funded with the spoils from TC loot bags?

Xenon’s list also doesn’t include skills that have aftercast skills, such as mesmer focus 4.

Karka isn’t bad it’s just a mix of karka and the tripping trap. I’d say limit revenge to 10pts at most not 15.

I let someone else place the karka, see which way the living person is going and put the tripping trap right in front of him. They never stand a chance.

So what?

“I let someone else to use headshot till my target’s endurance. Then i use my headshot on him/her. He/she never stand a chance”

Simple statement of fact, that’s all. If there’s more than one ghost on a person it’s almost too easy to kill the person.

The phrase “A mouse fart in a hurricane” is used to convey extreme insignificance. That’s all.

I really like SoR strategy for this week. They don’t bring that much players into wvw this week to show how overstacked BG is. With that ppt they can talk to guilds which are interested in joining BG or SoR and tell them BG is already stacked enough while they seriously need more people. And if someone asks for JQ or TC they can say “JQ is going down, we got two of their NA guilds that week” or “TC can’t even handle JQ”

The other option is burnout in combination with great weather and holidays.

Pick what fits you better.

Well… JQ is already collapsed. ATM/FOO are doing more harm than good at this point by keeping the remnants of your other timezones exposed to a fight they can’t win. Were they to go to a different server, such as db or tc it’d be a quick death rather than the lingering one we’re witnessing now.

What’s wrong with your own thread, nobody to complain at?

Ugh… that’s simply trying too hard. If you’re going to troll us at least add an element of subtlety to make it interesting. This one has been overused for weeks.

You’re better than that… come on, man!

selan.8354:

oi is he on vacation?maybe he got burned out from being killed all the time!

on a serius note, that lord has been buggy for a while, the ring sometime shows up eventhough he is alive and the tower get capped even if he is alive sometimes too.

That’s why he’s not there. The tower was capped, with the lord alive, the lord died to the bugged new lord, the old lord despawned. When the tower was capped back, no lord spawned and no ring.

Imagine being killed by yourself fighting for the enemy? Under that kind of mental trauma I don’t think I’d respawn either. Well… maybe in St. Thomas. I’d respawn in St. Thomas and say to hell with the tower. Freaky crap there mon.

Lurch.9517:

How about we do away with upgrade system altogether and everything is permanently T3? The reason I suggest this is that with the cheapness of superior siege plus all the bonus damage from wxp trait lines it is quite possible to be at the lords room in a paper keep these days before the white sword symbol even shows.

So basically removing the whole point of taking camps and defending dollies?

You still need to have supplies to make siege and repair damage so no not really

Siege and repairs should, under most circumstances, come from people bringing in supply on foot unless the tower/keep is fully upgraded and near supply cap, so the point stands.

pyrotikk.4620:

Look GW does have an amazing combat system, but coming from competitive pvp in wow, i really do feel like there are still things missing and room for improvement.

I though WoW hunters were faceroll until i went up against GW2 rangers lol, do they only have 3 abilities or what?

If u want a faceroll combat system play final fantasy, there is no room for these playstyles in MMO’s.

As for LoL i really couldnt care less, comparing the two is like comparing GW to angry birds.

Stop complaining about loaded UI’s, its pathetic… I want more then 10 abilities and so should YOU!!!

The sad part is that you have more than 10 abilities. It’s not the fault of the game if you fail to utilize them.

Tower gates get glitchy, people complain.

Tower gates remain glitchy for a while, people complain.

ANet dev has the glitch happen to him, reports that on the forums to us plus the fact that they were able to gather and have some real data to pass on to getting it fixed at a high priority… people complain.

There’s a very distinct point here where complaining has no further value.

Everyone knows BG has hacked Omega golems to have arrow carts for hands.

Pirate taking stolen plunder from pirates. What’s this world coming to?

I’m enjoying this game a lot, but yeah… the dead take a lot away from it. Too much power there.

As a matter of fact, when dead if I’m with others following a live guy and I see them spawn a karka I simply put one of the trip traps ahead of the live guy. Game over, that easy. He never has a chance.

I recall a certain Charr calling Gwen in GW1 “mouse”. It all fits.

Gwen was historically gassy.

zen.6091:

I’ve been trying to figure out all week what has happened to the guilds on JQ? I understand that players and guilds have come and gone from WvW at a pretty fast rate, particularly after a prolonged winning streak in T1 or losing streak in any tier, but it’s like the whole server emptied out and is completely reliant on pug blobs to do even the smallest thing now. I know TC does the same thing, but we also have plenty of guilds that roam and start up borderland action.

Hunger games.

I’d like to see Karka farming Stonemist Castle, just one. ANet spawns in a handful of Champions, just to shake things up. Especially if the karka win and the castle is unclaimed for that time period.

That reminds me… rumor has it you may be considering a little more out of your WvW than you’ve been getting on Borlis Pass… we should talk.

disconnected.7861:

DB is up 42.606 points at update. I expected a little more out of the “T1” servers, especially with Green getting a glitched tower for free.

Did anyone try AoE around the area to see if he’s glitched in a wall or something?

8 am Anets time -> 3PM EU time (which would be a good time to release the patch, which could be prepared the day before)

lol if i was a worker there , i would n’t wake up early for the sake of some gamer.

AH, see that? That’s someone from Blackgate for you. Now, as a JQ member, it would be an honor to get up early for each and every one of you and for the betterment of the WvW community and GW2 as a whole. So remember, if you’re looking for a server to transfer your guild over to for quality WvW, I hope you’ll choose Jade Quarry, where you’ll be a welcome and cherished part of our community.

sounds like propoganda. just got 1 thing to say never join the losing side

Why not? That’s how you got stacked up.

Arpheus.6918:

I think if they didn’t shutdown WvW 4-5 hours too early there would be no reason for such topics. But who knows, maybe they had problems with WvW Implementations, even though I cannot imagine that because it was the same thing with WvW being down for hours on the last patch.
Just shutdown WvW 10 min before patch and everything is fine.

I think we have to address the possibility that something isn’t going quite as smoothly with this patch as we’re used to and, thanks to the time of day they choose to do this, they have plenty of people working on it. Yes, it sucks, but have a little patience. They’ll get it.

OK… let’s slow down and think about that a bit. 8AM for a corporation. People are still coming into work. There will be (assumption from a corporate guy) a pre-release meeting making sure all the t’s are crossed and i’s are dotted. Then some time while everyone makes sure everything is in place. Then, maybe about 11AM or so things are a go to get the process started, maybe a little later if people grab some early grub. (With the kitchen they have this may not be an issue.) Realistically, from the perspective of a sane office environment, 11AM to Noon would be the earliest I’d personally expect something like this to happen. Maybe 10AM if they require people to come in earlier to make a 9AM meeting.

Now, that’s all guess work, but expecting them to be firing out the release at 8AM seems to me to be unrealistic.

Rangers really needed this… The longbow was broken from day-1.

Unfortunately it still doesn’t make them any more useful in WvW large groups. As it stands, their only really reliable zerg benefits are the long-life water field, muddy terrain, and longbow #5. (maybe traps as well, but that’s debatable.) Other than that, they’re still ideally a small group or solo-fighting class.

Really? 25% stealth uptime in a fight isn’t useful? I think you’re broken there buddy.

Stealth is worthless in a zerg fight once you engage. “Revealed.”

Revealed is less than the cooldown on Hunter’s Shot, is it not? I’m missing the relevance, sorry.

So help me you trolls if I have to PULL THIS FORUM OVER…!

In fact in adition to the developers, I want to thank mister Evon Gnashblade for this, allowing all players to get the weapons outside the RNG madness!!

NOW THE VOTE EVON IS VOTE RNG ARGUMENT IS COMPLETLY INVALID!! VOTE EVON GNASHBLADE!!

Except that it is now even more random. You have to hope to get a scrap in a box (if not a ticket thing), and then you’ll need at least 50 just to get one weapon. If the scraps were guaranteed drops from the chest it might hold some value, possibly if it gave more than 1 scrap one the random chance as well. But otherwise, its still just as bad.

Allow me to help you catch up…

Aetherblade weapon skins have been added to the Black Lion Weapon Specialist. For two weeks only, Aetherblade weapon skins cost only one Black Lion Claim Ticket! After August 5, Aetherblade weapon skins will cost their regular price of 5 Black Lion Claim Tickets

Also notice the change to Hunter’s Shot and Remorseless.

You are LOSING by 46 THOUSAND points right now…….. there is nothing else to say, no witty comeback, no snide remark that will get you those points back, no excuse you can use will get you the lead either! If you want to win then come take it from us. Until then you are nothing to us but 2nd place. So use all the excuses you want but as of right now BG is WAXING the floor with you.

/commence the SOR excuses and whining now.

Anyone considering transferring to BG, take a look at this post. This is who you will become, if by nothing else association. If you’re good with that, then obviously that’s where you belong. Just don’t fall under the illusion you can go there and fix it.

So stop complaining loosing to guilds two SoR ( a W is in wrong place : will you find it? )

My apologies… I don’t recall complaining.

Ranger:

Entangle: Updated the damage and bleeding skill facts to properly display their actual effects.

Rapid Fire: This skill now applies vulnerability on each hit.

Hunter’s Shot: This skill no longer applies vulnerability on each hit, but now grants the ranger stealth for 3 seconds.

Point Blank Shot: Increased the range from 600 to 900.

Maul: This skill now applies vulnerability instead of bleeding.

Counterattack—Crippling Throw: This skill can now be used while moving. Increased the cripple duration to 5 seconds.

Whirling Defense: This skill now grants 4 seconds of retaliation for the duration of the skill.

Call of the Wild: This skill is now a blast finisher.

Remorseless: This trait now reapplies Opening Strike when the ranger gains stealth or kills an enemy.

I just may dust mine off and see how this plays out.

So what should we tell people who’s primetime is right now and this is the time of day they get to play… too bad, go somewhere else? Stop having fun and playing because you’re hurting my feelings?

This game is pretty global you realize. It’s not based in your timezone, or mine, or anyone elses. Locking content by someones time zone only hurts those that live elsewhere.

My world is NA and is getting zerged by Oceanic and EU people when most of our big guild is from NA. Clear disadvantage for us, clean fun for they.

Nearly forgot to mention those NA folks working off-shifts from the 9 – 5 crowd too. Guess those folks should be told to give up on wanting to play WvW as well.

I’m on JQ, so I’ve seen it all. The night giveth, the night taketh away. It’s what you do with the cards you’ve been dealt when you log on that matters.

3. Smite number 5. (3 sir.) 3.
4. Launch giant wooden rabbit.
5. Arrow cart.

Now that was a golem rush for the ages.

OK… more of a walk than a rush, but you get the point.

DevonCarver.5370:

I’ve said it before, and I will repeat it here. We are aware of the problems with the WvW achievements and will be doing more to address them in the near future. Currently it is more complicated to solve the problems than I would like, which means we need to have a fully comprehensive solution before doing anything.

I may or may not be in the minority on this, but it’s appreciated that you all take the time to do things right as opposed to snap decisions without considering consequences.

I vote we wait and see what they have planned before freaking out.

They have said they’re looking at making the rewards in WvW on par with PvE, including the achievement thingies… but it would be nice to hear something a little more about this as a whole. I’ve been known to spend a few moments of my time every now and then in WvW and wouldn’t mind at all that time having the same “value” (for want of a better word) as time spent in PvE with regards to achievement points.

This is the real point here. Anet keep saying they want to encourage people into WvW. That’s why they’ve given us these nonsense ranks and titles. (They mean nothing to us real pro’s yes?)

But it’s not going to work while ever the reward for taking part is seen as less desirable. It’s actually seen as more ‘profitable’ to grind PvE monsters in Orr. (rofl!)

Don’t add venom to my post where none was intended please. I still enjoy the hell out of WvW regardless of the other rewards. I’m only saying it would be a nice touch to bring the AP rewards for avid WvW folks on par with the others, that’s all. Either way, I’ll be in WvW and loving it. The wxp, by the way, I think that’s a really nice feature that adds a lot to the experience. Maybe achievement points could be tied to WvW levels? That would help some I believe…

Not a clue what you’re objecting to. My opinions are my own. I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with you. I quoted you as a self-confessed WvW dilettante. (Now THAT’S venom :P)

Dilettante… um… brb…

Hey! … ok, that was good. /salute

Remove PvP from the PvP jumping puzzles that give PvP rewards for getting through the PvP to the chest.

I think I sprained my brain stem.

Often the best part of these JPs is the PvP that can come down on you in there. The joys of knocking someone off who didn’t (or maybe did) expect it, the “Holy crap!” of being attacked when you’re focused on a leap… no, leave them be. They’re great as they are.

This would alienate entire communities on the servers now, forcing whole time blocks of people that enjoy WvW to have to change not just servers, but continents (NA vs EU).

The amount of “bad idea” in this suggestion is beyond measure.
