Guild Wars 2

I won’t ever argue being stronger… But it still is possible to play one! The only parties I ever see I cannot join are “T4 Fractals condi only.” other than that what are you being “excluded” from? =/

so basically your saying because people were born on a different part of this giant rock they are automatically much different and kinder and better.

Well compare two different species of bird, that evolved in different parts of the world. They are both majestic and unique in their own way, but due to certain environmental factors sub species could display completely different behavioral patters. Yes they are both birds, and no bird is more special than another bird when you consider a universal perspective; all live is amazing. However, its undeniable that sociological and behavioral patters of humans can vary from culture to culture.

I’m no psychologist but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out there’s a difference in the average player in EU and NA regions. But don’t take my word for it, go check it out for yourself. You’re still gonna lose in EU, and you’re still gonna have blowouts, but they are less common, and even when they do happen you don’t have people expressing their negative emotions quite as frequently and as vulgarly as in NA.

so EU and NA are also different species? i agree it can be different but im getting tired of non stop EU is superior to NA comments constantly. if you even mention your NA in a thread or stream you instantly get comments like “well na isnt real pvp anyway” as if the comment has no validity. your sample size is too small to say its for sure better 100%. id say you got lucky. EU has toxic people so does NA its no different.

Jebro is in the top 50 in NA.

Just let that sink in for a minute.

Jebro….top 50….NA….Jebro.

im not talking about whos better. EU has better high tier players we all know this. but your not any different from us. your not more or less toxic. our opinions have the same validity. we both play the same game.

Well you can always make a free account and come play with us in EU or if you have an alt move it over. I also think you’re carrying the species metaphor way too far, he was just expressing how they can be different do to different locations and environmental factors.

Honestly I don’t often see people screaming “noob [class], uninstall” or anything like that often, you do get it but it’s maybe once an evening at most. How often does it happen NA?

I have yet to experience it to be honest. I have never seen anyone in my games say anything about <profession> is broken. Being frustrated with one’s performance and getting a little rude, sure, but that seems more it’s about them, not what they’re fighting. Even in games my team gets beaten by alot, most of my teammates have been quite positive and keep the mood light. There’s always the occasional blah that comes along though.

I can’t speak for who is better between EU and NA though, with my win/loss seeming to stabilize I am at the level I think I should be until I get better :p

With 25 Vuln and Fury and Spotter and Banner that will get you near 100%… Or close enough that it won’t matter. But that’s for a party, harder to do solo

The most sensible idea, if this were to happen, would be you must first equip it to the weapon, then its “unlocked”.

Something I threw together was to use Signets of Suffering. It has worked wonders and am 30-7 or something, exlcuding 4v5 matches, with it. I beat anything that has a lot of boons. But I also maintain significant condition pressure with 3 ways to transfer.l.

I always found something to do. I did the raid to try it. It isn’t my favorite content, I wayyyyy prefer high fractals, but if it’s a goal of yours then by all means go get it.

I play a power necro and went to the raid for a while. Its the only profession I’ve had success on. I’m sad you can’t find a group, But I don’t pug so I can’t really speak of what the situation is like. You can find a group, not everyone runs the same thing.

Did I miss information about the next weapon reveal?

But to say the enemy doesn’t have cooldowns isn’t true. They would probably be worse off since they’re trying to save their downed.

So… Why not just ban it’s use in “competitive”? I mean yes it should be fixed but until then just… Unequip it.

I can’t speak of other mmos but I actually find the alot of the raid encounters in here to just be unexciting. I love the mechanics of some of them but it’s all too fast I think =/

I can see it. But So far my play style has worked pretty well, I’m slowly climbing at least.

See I haven’t ever felt impactful in teamfights =/ I don’t know… Maybe it’s my build but I usually just get dumpstered in team fights, I much prefer the 1v1 for a contested point. I can keep track of everything one opponent does better than 3 or 4.

I see an open point I go for it. Usually when my team is holding mid. Which then as I cap far for a 3 cap I hold it,… Leading to a 1v1. Been working for 65ish games so far.

l love facing Thieves on my necro. I’ve lost to only one or two this season 1v1. But in middle of gold not many people can interrupt well it seems.

I use something similar, but I spec into Soul Reaping instead of Death Magic for Death Perception so that while there is 25 Vuln, while in Shroud I have 100% crit. This allows me to use Valkyrie gear as Precision is effectively useless. And yes, I am that guy using Valk in t4 Fractals and the raid.

I like what you did though, I love minions I just never use them much:D

That necro team probably won pretty decisively then. Just what is the problem? It’s not how many of a profession are in a team, it’s how the players play. Any match I’ve played that has had a lot of one profession whether win or lose, was not the reason for the victory or defeat

The only one I probably agree with is daily achievements in ranked queue.

Another fix more to the boards than ranked itself is set a minimum games before leaderboard rewards

Been a power necro since launch

I run t4 Fracs daily, raid some weekends.

There should be a minimum amount of games played before leaderboard placement matters. So if you have less than say, 50 Or 100 games, your place on the board, and thus where you end the season, is irrelevant and not counted.

Hello,

Doing Dragon’s Stand and between the Forward Camp and Advanced Camp in south lane, the thornheart seemed to be bugged and we were hitting for zero damage. I noticed it because usually after the first defiance bar is broken the thing usually gets eliminated, or low enough that it dies within the next 20-30 seconds. But this time after the first break it was at around 95%. Ultimately it caused the Thornheart to wipe out the Pact Morale and the lane was reset.

Screenshot of my damage log showing zeroes using an Ascended Sinister Longbow.

Pretty sure this is an intended mechanic, not a bug.

:D

…sorry, couldn’t resist

Why? Achievement… Something to be achieved. This person achieved the #1 spot on the ladder. There SHOULD be things worth achievement points that not everyone can obtain.

Yes, achievements for something not everyone can obtain are good. Achievements that limit how many will get them by adding number limits are not. They could say anyone with a rating of 2000 will get the top title, anyone with a rating of 1900 will get the second title, 1800 rating the third and so on (arbitary numbers). That way everyone has access to the achievement and they can all potentially get them if they get good enough. Limiting the achievement to one player “just because” isn’t a good way to go.

And I repeat: getting to Legendary division last season gave AP and a title. Not everyone was able to reach Legendary but it was fine. There was no thing like “only 250 people are allowed in Legendary division”

That’s exactly what I’m referring to.

Achievements that ARE limited to a certain number ARE good. “I was one of the few that achieved this goal” achievement points SHOW achievement.

Why? Achievement… Something to be achieved. This person achieved the #1 spot on the ladder. There SHOULD be things worth achievement points that not everyone can obtain.

I like the system but I think I was placed higher than normal. I went 6-4 and was placed around 1430 I think. A friend of mine went 8-2 and places in silver somewhere. These were also my first non hotjoins since about August I think.

Hey cool! A Christian that knows the earth is more than 6000 years old. Either way. Yeah Wintersday is 1000000% a better term. Holidays are stressful and while this is a seasonal event SIMILAR to what goes on irl… It not being called Christmas is much more enjoyable and preferred.

What even is sjw? =/

It’s been Wintersday since 2005…
Most games have their own name for the holiday season.

And the person that gets that… Deserves that, do they not? Regardless of if they care about the AP or not.

I am not here to make fun of anyone. I just want clarification about why it will be removed, if it does get removed.

Of the arguments I’ve seen: it being timed is a terrible one, because every Season 1 achievement point was timed for two weeks.

The only valid argument is that it’s limited to 250 people. But even then, if you get there, you deserve the points.

But why bother talking about anything beyond the first one if the first one is out of your reach?

Also, see my comment regarding your issue with the time limit.

So did every season 1 release of Living Story, THOSE achievements had A two week time limit.

Why can’t you play PvP to become the top 250 though?
What stops you from doing that? You may surprise yourself. Those wanting AP removed seem to just not be able, due to lack of skill at the game, or just don’t want someone else having something they aren’t able to obtain.

Let’s be respectful. If his bite is as strong as his bark says then he may be a serious contender for it, if he doesn’t make it to the top THEN the comments are justified.

It’s difficult to love everything aspect of a game you play. Some things won’t be for you, scavenger hunts seem to make that list. I think they are quite enjoyable. For an “easy” ascended item this is a good one to go for. Many people are too timid to try high level fractals and would rather spend the money to buy the rock and complete the steps, rather than waiting the few days of playing low tier fractals to obtain rings.

I am not trying to be “that guy”. This was quite a clever way to beat the boss. I am only wondering if this is covered under Chris Cleary’s definition of “exploiting a bug” or “poor design”?

If it’s the former, I have been infracted for posting a video of exploiting bugged content on the forums, with my post being removed as well, so I hope there is consistency. If it’s the latter, than no harm done, but I was just hoping for some clarity in general, about posting it and about the “ruling” on which it falls into.

I started going for them at around 400 relics after they were released. Doing all t4s daily has gotten me mobile/defensive and am roughly halfway to Offensive. I did stop doing some dailies about 2 weeks ago but a good time frame is maybe 3 months

Lahmia.2193:

Dredge isn’t so bad now, since dredge lost their blind immunity.

They did? I don’t remember being able to blind them last time I did it. Maybe I am mistaken but will check next time it is a daily.

Anyway: I dislike Uncat and Cliffside, but love Aquatic, Nightmare and new Swamp. The rest are great too.

I prefer Stronghold to Conquest, but I think to make Stronghold better they should remove the initial starting supply.

PvE crowd won this game once ascended was even introduced. Camelot Unchained can’t come soon enough.

Kind of like how Blade and Soul couldn’t come soon enough? Or Black Desert? Or Wildstar? Or ESO?

MMO specialist, DocGotGame is recommending Archeage’s new 3.0 fresh start for PvP, though it’s not WvW/RvR.
… but all WvW fans are watching Crowfall and Camelot Unchained.

I’m amazed how poorly WvW has been treated, considering that it’s easily the best aspect of GW2. What will GW2 be remembered for? Raids? Fracdulls? Living Story? I think not. It’ll be remembered (fondly, despite Anet’s neglect and our disappointment) for WvW.

I feel like I just typed an obituary.

“All” fans you say? I’m a fan of WvW and I hadn’t heard of Camelot Unchained until this thread.

Every time I see 50/50 matchmaking pop up in discussion I always wonder why people hate it. When you get placed in the match you and the 9 others are sorted based on which combination gives both teams as close to a 50% chance to win.
Why would it sort you on a team that has an 80% chance to win if there is a more balanced solution? Sounds like this is what people want.

That’s how I have understood it to mean, if I am incorrect in my assessment please correct me.

Cascade

Working on Offensive Potion but have the others. Beat it and definitely love the content

If she becomes game director, she would have no time to communicate with players.

That’s a con you can list :p

Masteries to me felt rewarding to unlock. I’d come across something I can’t interact with. So I’d have the mystery of what that content is until finally my character developed enough to be able to use it. I felt like my character grew and the amount of experience it required was all apart of the growth as a character.

Rukia.9860:

I would be more interested in getting a unique class like the ritualist from guild wars with weapon enchantments and spirits but we would need cantha for that and I guess anet abandoned it from the lore

You could get a type of brawler by adding monk to the game though, which could use fist weapons. But that adds the problem of having to add a new weapon type.

From the lore I’ve read, I thought I remember seeing it on the wiki, ritualists were burned at the stake after the new emperor unified Cantha. So ritualists went the route of dwarves in terms of scarcity.

Like Swagger said, it is nice to know that information, the combat tab helps but is often cluttered unless specifically customized which can be confusing

I think the design goal ArenaNet had in mind was that stats didn’t matter in completing content. Which until the raid came out, that was true. There wasn’t a single piece of content that required any sort of specific gear, perhaps maybe Dwayne boss on p4… Maybe.

Now with the raid its more difficult to say that. There ARE DPS checks, almost the entire thing really.

Personally, i think I am on the fence. I have never been kicked from a raid group, only because the groups I’ve been in have never had DPS issues, but I know full well I have the lowest DPS in the group and often probably lower than what’s expected, so I’d probably be a victim :p

I beat Nightmare Mote using my power necro. For the most part I run Blood/Soul Reaping/Reaper but on Siax I change Blood to Spite for Close to Death so soloing one of the spawns at 66/33 goes faster. Its doable without that but using it allows me to help others faster if needed.

If something like that were to be the case – you should first have to purchase and equip the sigil before it is “unlocked”, aside from the one that is used to create the weapon.
