Guild Wars 2

It was free to me, I have never spent a dime on this game besides the 59 dollars I paid for it “4 MONTHS” ago. Return on investment and then some.

1. Life isn’t fair.
2. You are not special.
3. Stop QQing about a free game.

Is this intended? to offer players a chance to get the ear ring for 1000 shells but give them no chance to gather them?

There was an NPC at the POI Canach’s Folly that would sell the same ear ring Ancient Karka shell for 1000 Karka Shells… It was the same ear ring that everyone who completed the event received.

A-Net has removed the NPC there is no way anyone could of farmed that many shells in the given amount of time it was in game. A-NET put it back please. There is so many people who couldn’t participate in the event now you have removed the only way they could of got the ear ring without giving them enough time to try and get it.

A-Net come on now you removed the NPC at Canach’s Folly. This was the only way for players who missed the event to get the earing. There is no way anybody could farm 1000 Karka shells in one day. Now the NPC is gone. Please put the NPC back to at least give players the time to farm the Karka shells. I farmed for I think 4 hours and only neted around 25-30 so U can imagine.

Drops from chests correlate to player level. So unless a trial player was able to get level 80 in 2 days they wouldn’t get a level 80 drop from a chest. The people who are spreading lies about trial players getting precursors. You have to be level 80 for the RNG to give you level 80 drop. Otherwise you get a drop similar to your level.

I find this QQ insulting. You guys knew before going into this that chests always loot items appropriate to level. This is how the game has worked since day one. Want to get level 80 drops than level and quit QQing about it. You guys are like the occupy wall street people.

To the players who still want the earing and didnt get it there is a way. If you can farm or buy 1000 shells theres an NPC on the island that will sell you one.

A-Net you guys could of tested the 1st stage a little better. The NPCs was just like the ghosts in Lion Arch during Halloween bugged. So please in the future test the NPCs.

Moving on the last stage was well worth the lag and deaths. You guys finally stopped being so stingy. IDK why you guys are always soooo stingy with things but this time you guys actually rewarded players and made them happy good job. Thankyou.

All the players upset by this patch are the ones who turtle.

Gratz SoS free transfers made it possible. Can’t wait to see if turtleing will keep you in teir 1 now its been nerfed. How long will it last?

So now doesn’t the healing nerf address this issue? What are some servers going to do now that turtleing isn’t so effective? Find a new exploit to win? Or just learn to play?

xiv.7136:

A lot of people who were scared to try sPVP are now trying it out.

That’s a good thing.

How is one scared of a game? This tread disgusts me a little, knowing that there are players that are this bad out there. Seriously whats going to happen in real life do u get scared of driving a car too? Seems a lot more dangerous than a game.

Warriors are not a broken an unbalanced profession. Thats why they continue to gets very small fixes instead of nerfs. As far as u saying warriors didn’t receive a balance nerf your wrong about that. Healing shouts no longer heal unlimited am outs of players. Which also means all other professions can no longer do that either.

Everytime I see a commander tag in cursed shore I just want to throw up. Does it make you feel special? or do you just not know how to turn it off? Probably this thread wont make a difference because your probably just as useless in WvWvW.

What I saw this morning occur in SOR BL with SOS recapping Hills about 15 min after we capped it was an utter disgrace and probably the clearest example of why we are losing.

1) We capture hills
2) We capture greenlake
3) Huge SOS force assaults greenlake
4) A smaller force of SOS assaults southgate of hills
5) I capslox multiple times that southgate is under assault and to retreat from greenlake as it was a clearly hopeless situation… well in advance
6) People fight to the bitter end at greenlake and all wipe.
7) I was the only one at hills trying to desperately build a cart behind the door.

If people just learned to retreat more effectively we could have easily saved hills. We had full supply and we probably wouldve need just 5-6 people at hills at the right time to save it.

Currently we are not only being outmanned, we are being straight up outplayed.

I was there and i don’t disagree that people dont listen, but i disagree with the theory you have that had people of listened we could of saved an nu-upgraded keep with no siege in it lol. Were talking about no door or wall upgrades bare keep with no siege whatsoever. Vs a zerg with possibly superior siege and lots of normal siege and supplies. There is no way. Perhaps maybe if there were some superior arrow carts at all the gates and catapults behind the doors etc with tons of players running supply to keep the very very weak un-upgraded doors walls from falling sure maybe but were not even talking about that.

The problem is that all players want to do is zerg. Zerg from one thing to the next. I dont like this play style at all becasue this is the kinds of things that happen when all people do is zerg.

5-6 people wouldve wipe their initial push or at the worst definitely stall it enough to allow for significant reinforcements to arrive to quickly setup siege with the 500 supply we had at the keep.

We had as many people on the map as they had.

Last thing I say here all of this QQing is sickening me. The premise of your argument is flawed in that you don’t take a tower/keep and leave it without leaving defenders and building siege. The problem isn’t that people are not listening and people are not retreating when told its that they are mindlessly zerging from one thing to the next. Then when something gets attacked everyone is rushing to defend it. This is how you lose at WvW. No you leave people there to defend it and build up defenses. Then when its attacked there is no OMGWTFBBG what are we going to do everyone to the keep NAO PLZ. These are basic things that seems like so many people missed all they want to do is attack. And everything they flip gets fliped by others because of it.

Bad commander decisions bad player decisions.

The Update is an event… a 3 day long one time only chain event.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news/Lost-Shores-Heads-Up/first#post646309
Going to be an interesting reset next week.

Am I wrong? Your not wrong also but i am referring to this its the 15th I believe a day before the 16th Lost Shores I think its called. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/John-Peters-Impromptu-Interview-In-The-Mists

Jaxon.5392:

The matching system needs a look at, we’re trapped in the same line ups every week. Unlikely to change again for next week and with an event on WvW will be barren in next weeks battles.
Alternative matching system go go go

Its not an event :P its a game update. By some however I expect the update will be treated as an event.

I hope this means the “superior tactics” and “superior communication” I have heard so much about coming from certain players on “other servers” fail to be superior or work anymore I have a feeling the tactics that they rely on so heavily to win will be gone. Lets see how “skilled” and awesome they are without the exploits that they need. Cough Cough portals, turtling etc. Cough. Waves*

help us keep this page from getting buried thank you.

Peetee.9406:

Transferred off for the week. Playing against the same servers is stall and boring. Cya next week SoR!

I speak for myself, don’t let the door hit you on the way out. :P Seriously though the only thing that makes playing against SoS is the night capping. You guys need to move up to T1, the other 2 Teir 2 servers don’t have the nightly numbers like you do. You guys get so much points during the night, granted you do lose points during the day so its a trade off but you have more people during the day than either IOJ or SoR have at night.

I guess this is intended, or A-Net is too embarrassed to respond. I would be embarrassed too. Again the issue is aoe is limited to 5, healing, and boons are not. Portals are not limited to 5 and stealth is. Is it because stealth is an AOE or was it deemed to powerful.

Sorry if im being negative here, or sounds like im flaming. Truth and Knowledge are two different things am i right.
A-NET has made too many oversights like these, same with their engine and culling. If players aren’t using portals to abuse culling they are abusing aoe caps. Its these things that make WvW a joke.

This was a joke.. “we like the idea of portals”, ANet… Well guess what we like them too so much we exploit your flawed game code each day because you told us it was ok… Portals are cool and all in theory but it breaks your game.

Australians, Asians, and Europeans, are all welcome.

@ Bash Prove me wrong please. I know its the start of the match, and the match outcome will be determined this weekend. By Monday unless it is going to be close all week what happens now is how its going to play out. I’m done posting here I will check back on Thursday to see if im right or not. Unless the current trend continues this way what is on the board now is how it will go.

It will be a battle for 2nd and no longer 1st if they SoR and IOJ dont stop fighting each other and focus on stopping SoS point gain.

SoR is content on instigating IOJ, and IOJ is playing for second. SoS is the clear victor here while SOR ignores SoS and attacks IOJ instead, and IOJ plays for 2nd while having to constantly be defending from both sides and unable to gain points….

IOJ is being shut out by SoR and SoR will lose this match up if they dont stop playing for 2nd…

SoR is playing for 2nd all along but is looking to pick up easy points by attack IOJ which is not the way to win here… Call me wrong but I call it how I see it….

The score board speaks for itself so don’t try to tell me I’m wrong because your wrong if you don’t agree with me look at score board for proof.

SoR needs to stop with this and hold off and defend from IOJ and focus on SoS. Both IOJ and SOS need to take points fro SoS .

If IOJ wants to come in 1st or 2nd they need to do the same.

Today showed the impact of the orbs, we saw red and blue both make pushed in EB, and blue took back a lot of their stuff in their border. Awesome last day to the match, I hope we can meet you again.

Oh, and EB was hilarious, I don’t know if anyone on either side was taking it all that seriously. Trebbing us as fought the Grub. UNDERHANDED TACTICS!

Good sir that wasnt the “orb removal” that was the Halloween event being over and nobody had anything left to do besides go to wvw.

From my point of view on TC, it was a combination of no orbs and the end of the Halloween event.

After the new build, it appeared to me some individuals on SoR had to adjust to the lack of +15% HP and +150 stats. This wasn’t everyone, but there were a fair number of over-extenders who went down in risky situations. This is something I hadn’t seen before orb removal.

With the return of our Halloween people we were closer to SoR in terms of raw numbers. (And it is also possible people on SoR are resting up for tomorrow). Add this to the lack of orbs, and you had a more equal playing field.

I’ll go as far to say they relied on them, I was doing it for a long time last night, before and after the build, could see how over powered the orbs where. Before everything was tanky, then after, very little people where.

And I’ve seen a lot of risky plays that ultimately would not plan out.

SoR player here. 3 orbs transforms a crappy glass cannon build into something decent in wvw. Now glass cannons are in trouble everywhere. I know guilds on SoR that haven’t wvw since sunday. Since statistically gaining an insurmountable point lead in wvw this week our ques have been non existent. Just throwing that out there normally we have hour long ques at times or longer. So yes it is true that all a sudden it appeared TC server was doing better today after orb removal which is great I wish it was like that all week. But there were no ques at all on SoR with most people not even WvWing due to already winning.

The orb bonuses were really unfair for underdogs, not only are they losing but the deck was stacked against them a lot of players are going to need to rethink their builds and strats to not rely on having orbs. Im glad they are gone, no more complaining that one server won becasue they have orbs, or that someone is only a good player because of a bonus. Now we see who is really good or not.

Ok look I’m sorry guys about the spawn camping but all is fair in love and war.

TC is a real good server, don’t feel bad about this week. SoR has a lot of players who just WvW. There is PVE on the server, but a lot of guilds moved to SoR just for WvW. So your facing a server with ques that are always full except in the wee hours of the morning.

Plus its not like you cant exit, there are multiple ways out of the spawn on top of that, If you didn’t stand there trying to get out of that particular exit SoR would probably get bored and move on. You also have the option of using tactics and flanking spawn killers by taking your zerg out another exit and going from behind them.

Don’t call foul when your not using good judgement.
About the spawn camping TC does it too. You may have never been a part of that but when TC is winning they do it, I’ve been on the receiving end of TC spawn camping when I was on another server.

Inquest dungeon.

Please make a variation that doesn’t use mystery tonics, I have endless mystery tonic and deleted all my mystery tonics….Sigh

But I deleted all my mystery tonics on Monday before the announcement was made to save the items from chests Because I got an endless mystery tonic now….. What about others like me.? I had around 70+ tonics from the chests i opened all gone….. sadface

I open 24 cheasts and didnt get a single skin WTF ANET!!!! I want a return.

Fury.6248:

Who cares, transfers are just baddies looking for a ride.

Players of SoS need to understand that, whatever pride they have for their server isn’t necessarily shared by those who transferred there. They may in time be proud of the server as long as they are winning, but that is all they care about is winning, and that’s why they moved to SoS due to the heavy Oceanic presence. If SoS ever moves up in the ranks and starts to lose and players leave they will cut and run just like they did on their old server and find a new server they can win on.

Casia.4281:

Warlord.9074:

Just like to throw this out there, the influx of NA players your seeing on SoS all came from Dragonbrand.

that is not true.

They came for one other server as well for sure.

In the last 48 hours? I wouldn’t come in here and lie, I’m sure there are others who came from other servers, but in the last 48 hours, I know of at least 7 large guilds who xfered from DB to SoS.

Just like to throw this out there, the influx of NA players your seeing on SoS all came from Dragonbrand.

mcl.9240:

Actually, we were playing to win too. We didn’t focus on DB supply camps or CD supply camps. We focused on “that supply camp isn’t ours”.

Thank you for providing our point. Had you guys focused on CD you may have had a chance to come in 1st. We in DB knew that CD was the biggest threat of this match up from the Thursday before the match started. We had intended to primarily focous on CD. Had TC come to grips with that and realized this CD was the biggest threat you guys wouldn’t necessarily came in 2nd and could of been 1st. But your guys just taking things from DB cause its not your strategy cost you the match, as CD had a Vendetta out to get DB from day one as they hate us. So gg guys.

Sharpclaw.7510:

It is an odd thing to sort of congratulate another realm and then sort of go: “Well, besides this and this and this…that’s why you won.”

CD outplayed all of us, to be sure. But second was DB’s to lose and TC’s to take. Not CD’s to give out.

Its not particularly odd no. Just telling it how it is.

Nairb.7198:

Aside from gaining a few more oceanics I think we(TC) are more successful against DB this time around because we have CD to keep them in check overnight with their larger nighttime presence.
When we lost to DB last time it’s because they wracked up a ton of points at night. Mag didnt have a night time crew to hold DB back either. Like in that matchup we are very competitive during our primetime hours but just don’t have the off-peak population to hold on to objectives.
We have gained a few more off-peak players so we’ll have to see how we do against them if we get matched up against them again along with a different server.

Good job TC for coming in 2nd. For the record basically, TC a tier 3 server did better against DB this time another tier 3 server because a tier 2 server CD has a grudge DB because they blame DB for losing so badly to a tier 1 server JQ who is beating HOD right now. Just lolz Ok TC u guys are a good server but just want to get the record strait here. I would love to battle TC again with another tier 3 server in the mix and without the invisible enemy bug. Not because I think we are better just becasue I think it would be a better match up and more fun and I don’t think it would be as nearly as easy for u guys.

I’ve never been critical about Anet or Guild Wars 2. Awesome game guys. But this problem is going to kill your game, if cheats don’t kill it 1st. The game is pretty much done if those 2 things are not fixed.

I realize this is your top priority, but your actions tell a different story. While your busy nerfing professions, messing with the drop rate and messing with dungeons and farmers, which hurt players your not releasing patches to fix these major problems and hurting player more, so you are killing your game. You guys need to get your priority strait. You need hack checks with an auto banning feature when the client is detected to be modified or using hack, and you need to fix this stupid invisible players if you want to have a serious PVP game nuff said or your game will die very fast.

I heard the off peak argument/excuse and it is true, but it doesn’t explain when ques are full and people are still losing. I heard people complaining theyre outnumbered when the ques full. Saying its 2vs 1 or whatever yeah ofcourse its 2 vs 1 its wvw. What is unfortunate though when 2 servers gang up on one thats not even winning. Idealy if your server is losing u always want to take points from the winner but it doesnt work like that always, and then people wonder why they lost so badly.

Morthis.3968:

It’s kinda disappointing. Last time we (FA) matched up against Dragonbrand in the 24 hour matchups, they got destroyed because of our overnight capping. First weekly matchup, overnight capping from us claimed the whole map again as well. Now we’re been in two losing matchups (although last one we had comfortable second place at least) and I’m not even seeing full queues during prime time anymore. I don’t know if it’s people who have lost interest in queuing, or people who have simply left, but it’s a very noticeable effect. Going from having queues at night/morning US time to having no queue during prime time US.

DB here its because once the other server has a big enough lead people give up. Especially at the end of the week, people think because no matter how hard they fight they cant win. And with little to no incentive for participating in WvW to begin with people are not going to waste money, and time on repairs and building. So people just quit and cut their losses. Maybe if there were incentives to WvW besides wining. I know the server gets all these bonuses and what not but most people who PVP dont do that. It only benifits the PVErs who most of them are not helping in WVW anyways. So its a wash.

Yeah either CD have the worst team work and strategy or are helping JQ defeat DB. Conspiracy theory’s ruled out their behavior was particularly strange at least in the DB borderlands. JQ owned all of the lower camps, towers, and keeps leaving CD without a pot tokitten in yet every time I saw a CD zerg they were up north in DB territory where they had no business to be in. Instead of focusing on trying to secure their starting area tower and camps and pushing toward the CD side lower keep, they would be running around zerging DB players at the top of the map when they had nothing. Its no wonder you guys have done so bad, so you were either helping JQ or just have no idea what your doing. Sorry if my words sound mean but I call it how I saw it.

Yeah and the shenanigans like fake commander that Varathiel mentioned is possible on DB as well we had some commanders that were so fail, maybe im just trying to make excuses for why they are so bad but maybe its a JQ member in disguise. Same thing could of been happening on CD but I doubt it how many are going to pay 100s of golds just to throw matches like that is beyond my comprehension.

yeah back to 24 hours or make it 48 hours and start and end the matchups where it favors NA peak time on NA servers. Other problem is we have a lot of players on NA servers that dont speak english that help us how?

yup pretty much to wake up and find that everything you have take is gone is very bad.

A simple fix would be to go back to 24 hour matchups or shorten the matchups down to 2-3 days max opposed to 7 days. So oceanic players don’t have so much time to take the ball and run away with it so to speak.

Issues. please respond if you know the answers.

1. An alter can be destroyed and the orb taken without killing the keep lord. This bugs the keep lord with perma invulnerability and the alter never repairs itself or can be repaired.

2. Lightning strikes from the shaman Quaggan are destroying the alters in garrisons where the defenders placed the orb. If an attacker successfully sieges the garrison the defenders have perma bugged orb bonus and the attackers cant move the orb or get the orb bonus.

3. Orbs cant be placed on broken alters.

4. Lightning strikes are destroying alters.

5. alters can be repaired by spamming F if you have supply but it takes no supply to repair them, if the altar is destroyed spamming F does no good.

6. Alters if broken can be healed with the orb by spamming F.?

Who knows these answers and can help?

Stop all the trash talk it just makes us look bad. DB has been doing so well lately but lets be honest with ourselves when matched with similar tier servers we do great but when matched up with higher tier servers we don’t do so well.

Novanel.1256:

Hmm EB that was a fun 3 hours of just rolling through capping everything. Also please learn better tactics any commander with a brain could see you guys repeating the same things over and over again like clockwork.

Ive seen this.
