Guild Wars 2

I’m not a good pvp player,but when i see my name in the top 600+ on the official leaderboards for soloQ for a few months,then i can safely say its because there is not alot of players.Current MMR reset has made me around 500+ so its kinda consistent and soon i will drop back to 600 once it has stabilised.Pretty much proves to me that TPVP is as undead as Orr

Real Commanders, delegate task wisely and efficiently to capture many objectives simultaneously with the minimum amount of manpower. Real commanders respect the crew they work with and do not bark orders nor do they claim all the glory for themselves.Real commanders inspire and raise morale.

But in GW2 so far from my perspective,i’ve yet to see anybody who commands respect.
The commanders I’ve met so far are just blue icon on the map,its one big blob of zerg from one point to another. In TPVP terms its like sending 5 person in a 5 v 5 to the home point to cap it,then moving together to another point. So the enemy will always outcap you.
The commanders i’ve seen, will only delegate the menial or non rewarding task to other players whilst they concentrate on the karma train or anything that gives better reward.
The commanders I’ve seen,will be quick to blame pugs or other players when they lose and equally quick to claim credit for themself or their guild for a victory even if pugs help out.
The commanders I’ve seen, will usually use words like"all go to tower to defend it" which is a tactical mistake. Imagine the Tyria army which has its forces in many places in the world,and then someone taps on the guardhouse door at the Orr border,and the commander orders all its forces in all parts of the world to immediately go to the Orr border.Flame legion,kraits,centaurs,svanir will be taking over all the town whilst all the force is at Orr.Smart move.
The commanders I’ve seen, will usually tell the zerg to stack alot of time when they is no apparent need to stack.It slows down the momentum and wastes time.
The commanders I’ve seen,will time to time quote Sun Tzu’s “Art of War” but reciting like a parrot is meaningless if you cannot apply the correct technique for the correct situation at the correct time with the correct manpower.

Even 6 year old kids can be a commander in this game so I don’t expect much in the first place haha!

I don’t think they are running low on idea, I think they are running low on time because they have bitten off more than they can chew after promising new content on bi-weekly basis. If they can admit their mistake and slow down on the quantity of updates,i think we can start to see improvement in the quality instead.

There’s nothing wrong with bi-weekly updates it’s how they’re doing them. If they did one update that is only content/pve and then two weeks later did a pvp/balance update then it’d give each team more time.

you have a good point there

Feel lucky each day you aren’t waking up to “Well, we might have set the bar too high. But because we want to do more things and we have technical limitations, we are going to make GW3, we will give you news when it’s ready”.

hehe,i don’t mind actually. Since revamping this game will cause alot of uproar just like the skins,might as well make a new game and make it right from the start.

healing signet by itself,is not OP,but when you add in 15 trait points into toughness line,u get the adrenal passive healing at 360hp.
Add the 400hp from signet and 360hp from adrenal,u get nearly 800hp passive regen,

I don’t want to be rude, so here is free tip – read description of trait first instead of making such posts. Pretty please.

Verdelet Arconia.6987:

15 trait Points into toughness- Improves healing based on adrenaline level by sacrificing Power and Condition Damage.

Nerf everyone who takes this trait, regardless of healing skill slotted. Great idea indeed.

Yups,i did. Not sure what ur getting at though.

Regenerate health based on adrenaline level.

Healing.png Adrenaline level 1 healing: 125
Healing.png Adrenaline level 2 healing: 240
Healing.png Adrenaline level 3 healing: 360
— In-game description

[edit] Notes
Triggers on an interval of 3 seconds (not shown as a trait fact).

For ur second point, all classes have a healing skill slotted,it cannot be removed,its the button “6” on the default key bind. Its an idea where balance means,more healing should come at a price. Having high dps,high healing,high tougness is not balanced.

you didn’t pay $10 for the amour skin, you paid $10 for the gems. you paid the gems for the amour skin.

The skin is changed,u get ur refund of gems which is the payment for the skin.

If you want refund of $10 for the gems,then you need to understand that once gems is bought,it cannot be sold back to the company for $.

An adult customer,like yourself, should understand this concept.

They can get their money back. It called an exception to policy and companies make exceptions to policy all the time, especially when it serves their interests, such as trying to get out of doing more to make things right when they’ve done something wrong. If giving back money keeps them from losing customers or having to do work that would cost more or just gets to be easier than fielding complaints, then eventually they’ll give back money.

Thanks for the info.

Not sure which is more amazing,beating Scale 50 or the blue/green loots in the last chest for scale 50!haha!

Gratz on hitting scale 50! Hardcore players truly impress.

Imagine all the top 1000 players on the leaderboard having scale 50 when they start releasing it.

Rank 1-Scale 50-Name: THIS
Rank 2~999-Scale 50- Name: LEADERBOARD
Rank 1000 -Scale 50-Name: IS POINTLESS

you didn’t pay $10 for the amour skin, you paid $10 for the gems. you paid the gems for the amour skin.

If you want refund of $10 for the gems,then you need to understand that once gems is bought,it cannot be sold back to the company for $.

An adult customer,like yourself, should understand this concept.

Now,in TPVP,if u get totally defeated, you cannot be ressed by others and you will auto warp to WP after the spawn timer is up.

Can apply the same concept, once defeated,you cannot be ressed and you will teleport to default map starting WP in 5 seconds. Just enough time to look at your loot on the ground,haha!

healing signet by itself,is not OP,but when you add in 15 trait points into toughness line,u get the adrenal passive healing at 360hp.
Add the 400hp from signet and 360hp from adrenal,u get nearly 800hp passive regen, as good as ranger active heal skill,troll unguent(but this skill has 25 seconds CD and only last for 10 seconds) warrior passive heal is forever unless he press the wrong button.

instead of fixing the signet,we can just fix the trait.

15 trait Points into toughness- Improves healing based on adrenaline level by sacrificing Power and Condition Damage.

If traited with 15 points to adrenal health, Healing signet will heal X amount of HP at 1 adrenaline bar,Y amount at 2 bar,and Z amount at 3 bar. For every bar, a fixed% increment of healing is applied and the same fixed% decrement to power and conditon dmg is applied.

This would be a better balance to dmg and healing,

Found an upscaling bug whilst doing Scale 1 FOTM using lvl 53 character.
For the 1st and 2nd fractal,i was upscaled to 80, for the 3rd fractal,i was not upscaled and the boss deals 40k dmg to my character. Luckily the 4th fractal i was upscaled to 80 again.

3rd fractal was at Cliffside. Just giving you guys the heads up.

I’ve checked the quest today,Thieving from thieves personal story is still bugged for me. I hope someone can help,thanks.

A step in the right direction,Thank you for listening to the player’s feedback and coming up with a good solution for the skins.

you need to discover them first,

in ur discover tab
use +1 agony resist(2 pieces) and the reagent(1 piece) ,the one used for ascended stuff,sold from the master crafter vendors.

repeat the process for higher versions +2 agony resist(2 pieces) and 1 reagent,etc

Arenanet needs to implement a polling system in the game to be more interactive with their audience.

Upon conclusion of a 2 week LS, there can be a short poll on the story.
Polling is one time only per account per 2 weeks conclusion.
The questions asked can be as simple as " Do you want to see more of Scarlet Briar?-Answer Yes or No."
The questions can also be more detailed based on the possible directions the story can evolve into. “How would you like the Scarlet Briar Story arc to end?-Option A,B,C”

The voting for Kiel/Evon was a step in the right direction for player interaction, but you need to remove the WP reduction+BL key cost reduction incorparated as that would make the polling be about the financial aspect and not the story aspect.

Unable to progress the event in the quest after detonating all 3 powder kegs.
Sent a report a few days ago,today’s patch did not solve it,so I’m sending the report again and posting here.

Also my daily fractal achievement and toxic gardener daily achievement does not give me credit even though clearing multiple times.

Kindly assist to rectify,thank you.

The 6/6 bonus on Runes of Perplexity now have a 8 second cooldown. This was excluded from the patch notes, but we’re in the process of getting them added.

Thought you guys would like to know.

Any word on why fear never causes an interrupt effect?

Not that I would use these runes if I could…. certainly not!

Fear is an condition and not a CC effect like daze/stun/knockback

Fear behaves like a CC though,it removes a stack of defiant. Conditions can;t do that.

better kill scarlet before we get abbadon, or else the lore will be further messed up with “Scarlet did it” in the abbadon fractal.

decent fractal,the mini games and the zeus boss + skyhammer mode
Would have been better if Kratos,the God of War was at that final panel instead of Scarlet.

best is doctor death- skills from ur healing skill slot causes death.
Need to roll a warrior with healing signet for that one because the of the passive heal.
good luck to other classes that has no regen or healing utilities

was abit worried that the new lvl 31-50 will require lots of agony resist since its not the old fotm that we knew. 512 pieces of +1 infusion resist for one piece of equipment kinda seem extremely demoralising haha. thanks for the info on higher version dropping.

Is my maths correct for making +10 infusion resistance?
1×2×2x2x2×2×2x2x2×2=512 pieces of +1 infusion resistance to make one +10 infusion resistance
if yes, then GW2 FOTM= super grind

Some ppl play hard,some ppl play smart. Lol thread

10 more trait points will give more build diversity,and the pain for farming lvl 90 best gears

Maybe they don’t expect anyone to reach 50?

Considering how bad they are at playing their own game that seems like a valid assumption to make.

If I had the time I’d be going for 50 in 1 day as well, but work n stuff

Thats because the Devs was not using a faceroll warrior profession for the fractured livestream.

Server of the year,belongs to the people whom remained in the last ranking world in the bronze league and continue to fight.Respect to those who don’t give up against all odds. Salute.

This is the new heavy amour class, Iron Man Mark:GW2!
Hover instead of running, shoot lasers from palms! You guys should know the rest

I hope i got the metallic red and yellow right. Can’t seem to find other amour and colours that best look like iron man.Would appreciate it if someone else find a more similar amour/colours,thanks!

In other news, ANet has just released more information on the upcoming patch notes!

Haha! the news about engi nerfs must have been too hard to live with.

RIP grouch

2 modes of Duels should be available.

Absolute Equal Playing Field-
use 1 aspect from Southsun Survival,which is a similar set of skills available.
This way duels will be about a person’s actual skill since a fair playing field is present.
No hiding behind best equipment or profession superiority.

Standard 8 Profession Field-
No runes/sigils/trinkets/food buffs. Standard equipment set.
Just a duel using any of the 8 profession using its core abilities without any other gimmicks.

1)Plethora of Currency- Too many currency-
Karma,Guild commendation,8 different dungeon currency, Laurel,Fractal Relic,Pristine Fractal Relic,Badge of Honour,Glory,Glob of ectos,Gold,Gems,Blacklion tickets,various historic events using different ingredients as currency.

2)Living Story- Temporary Content every 2 weeks.
Should be made into personal story and permanent instead so that people can play at their own pace and not miss anything if they can’t play in 2 weeks due to real life commitments.

3)Balancing 8 different profession- OverPowered and UnderPowered professions
1 year on and balancing is still far from perfect.Hope they find the right mix of strength and weakness in each class to make all 8 viable for all aspects of the game.

4)Balancing Dynamic and world events-Overplayed and Underplayed events
Certain maps like Queensdale and Frostgorge is packed with people because of champ farming train of events. Othermaps,usually mid lvl maps are nearly deserted. More life can be injected to these maps to bring players to each map.If reward is the main luring factor,then do so accordingly.

5)WVW and SPVP- More modes of large/small scale pvp are needed.
WVW has not changed much in more than 15 months, SPVP has the same conquest mode. More variety is needed since PVP is pretty much endgame content.

i’m not good at this map but I wouldn’t want anything about it to change since it breaks the routine playstyle of most other maps.

But certain fixing is needed as I’ve instantly died on two occurence near the breakable panels without even falling off. No Falling, No damage,no downed state,just instant death on the edge of the breakable panels.

On an opposite note, sometimes I do not die when I fall all the way down.I then need to wait for the sand wurm to down me and kill me. This is also something that needs to be fixed.

Other than these 2, skyhammer should remain as unique as it is now.

Wemil.7052:

its a fact that american servers got less quality fights because of a) more Guilds b) larger zergs.

balanced? of course more balanced because its just soooo many players there Europe kinda lack WvW players against American but we got better quality way better quality fights.

EU 2nd place TPVP team beat NA 1st place TPVP team in the birthday bash event.
Validates your point to a certain extent. But we need NA vs EU wvw to confirm that.
NPCs will need to fill up the last world though since we cannot have 2 NA worlds or 2 EU worlds in the 3 world battle.

Hope to see Black Gate(NA) VS Vizunah Square(EU-FR) VS Zhaitain Horde(NPC) in an epic fight for world supremacy!

since there is a leaderboard for wacky stuffs like achievements,FOTM.

Maybe there should be a leaderboard for most GOLD ever amassed and transacted.
gw2 Forbes list of sorts.Not sure how they going to count in the valuables that are not in gold though like stacks of high value items,precursor,etc.

Then again,hackers would make that into a hit list instead haha!

becareful what you show off guys,u might attract the wrong attention

Last week’s match between CD(Blue),FA(Green) and EB(Red).
I was hiding in the keep when EB captured our Keep in Eternal Borderland.
Once the RI on the champion was gone,i began soloing the boss, got a lucky exotic dropped from the veteran protector.

And then FA zerged me.

Steel chest right beside me.

thank god for the exo drop,at least something for the trouble

Ironman Mach GW2

This is when most people started to resent Trahearne.

Its like handing over the “precious ring” to Golum from Lord Of the Rings

warrior,15 char.

because pet auto comes out when ranger goes into combat

I’ve played a ranger for 3027 hours over the past 444 days.
Below is my choice of pet for the 3 types of mode based on my actual experience for credibility.

TPVP Mode- Actual experience=605 tournaments won using a ranger

The Great- Wolf, fear has many application and game changing effects. Deny a stomp,clear enemies whilst ur going in for a stomp,fear enemies away from a capture point or off the map,etc.
The Good- pre nerf Jaguar for dps,Krytan Hound for immobilise on low cd,but due to F2 slowcast and its around the pet, its not a reliable skill on very mobile opponents,Hawk for power/cond dps.
The underutilized- No pets are bad,their use is situational and should complement your build. I don’t use the other pets since they don’t synergize with my build that’s all.

For PVE- Actual Experience= Experienced nearly all there is in the game in pursuit of Achievement points, currently at 15627 achievement points.

The great- Wolf- Fear
The Good- any pet that has advantage over the current objective- depends on what you are doing, dungeon,map exploration,champ farming,etc.
The Bad-any pet that has disadvantage over the current objective.

For WVW-Actual Experience= Rank 176 Bronze Invader- Don’t have enough experience in organised wvw to give any comments. I’m mostly a roamer and do wvw for achievements only.For roaming i use my TPVP set up.

it might not be an elder dragon because in GW2 logic, it takes less than 5 person to kill Zhaitan,an elder dragon,but u need more than 5 ppl to kill Tequatl who is just a champion dragon. the peons are superior to the elites in tyria. So my guess is,it’s some unknown champion dragon that will require more than 100 ppl to beat.

its good to have a dev on ur team/side for survival reasons.
In TPVP, if a dev is on my team,i know I won’t be the first target to die!

There was a number of occasions in the past when some devs were in an opposing team mixed with normal players, when the TPVP match started, all 5 of us ignored all capture points and just searched and destroy mode and ganked the dev,once the dev is dead then we resumed normal play. Once the dev has respawned,we drop everything and ganked him again,lol

revenge for making ranger pet so useless even after 1 year into the game. All we want is a pet that can hit a moving target.

If u like platform games with lots of jumping and environmental scaling, do not use a Charr or a Norn.

I u like PVP,use an Asura,they are very small and its harder to see their telegraphed moves in TPVP especially midst all the particles and effects mid battle.

katniss.6735:

This will probably get infracted, but here’s mine:

hahaha! lucky for eles amour doesn;t break in tpvp

a few months ago when spirit watch map in tpvp was introduced, my match had a serious problem,everyone in the match couldn;t leave the map after the match ended,relogging with another character did not solve the problem,everyone ended back into the pvp map. made a report and followed up by posting in forums, matter was resolved in a few hours. Their customer support is great! Thumbs up!

Don’t worry, on certain days,professionals will help, but for 1 round only.

Daily fractal achievement, meet Achievement hunters

Wintel.4873:

Sounds like an L2P issue. Play carefully, use 1 attack/ability and then back off. The hardest part when fighting an Ele (especially a glass one) is to show discipline and self-control.

A truly skilled Warrior can step on an ant without hurting it. You just aren’t good enough.

funny as hell!

Choose Blackgate, you’ll thank me once u know more about Map Completion.

And from the way living story is being released, its all about zerging,if u go to a high or mid lvl population server,you must do the content on first few days of its release or else it will be hard because nobody will do it once they done their LS achievement.

The Pale Tree, literally. Firstborn Ranger

If there is TPVP in a dark map,i’ll be first to die.Walking lightbulb! haha!

Picture taken at the inner staircase to glory vendor rank 30-40.

PVP legendary sword-Bolt

Put into MF this 4 simple items.

250 x Tournament match win Box
250 x Arcane Sliver
1 x Arcane Converter
1 x Sword Token

Easy right?so we can have more pvp legendary in the locker

Kuruptz.4782:

it should only be soloq and teamq chest rewards to give mats to legendary

why not achiv? ppl who played tpvp since launch should have it easier getting it
why not rank chests / glory ? because exploiters got 2millions of glory
why not rank ? FARMERS disgusting FARMERS
why not leaderboards? wierd a dude with 20games top 10 got legendary?
why am i so smart? i just am

totally agree! i hope the RNG is not so bad,i only have 2 full stacks left of the solo q chest rewards
