I usually always see 1-2 large guilds running around on FA. Mostly bouncing between a couple maps . As someone has pointed out above, it is WvW reset night so you aren’t going to see a lot of activity until reset actually happens. For the most part, you will see a lot of newbie commanders taking charge and trying to learn the basics.

Thank you guys a ton for all the great answers. I may switch in the future but for now I joined Fort Aspenwood. However I got to level 2, went to work and came back to my account being banned. So this game has amazing potential in my eyes so far. Lol off to support I go I suppose.

Need legendaries to be legendary

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Wolfey.3407

The only thing that really annoys me with legendaries is that they can be purchased from the trading post or sent to players…. In my own opinion, legendaries should be Account Bound on acquisition.

It will make them mean a lot more for those who actually crafted them or won them from a tournament from Anet.

Who knows, maybe one day anet will revert it back….. one can dream

[Suggestion] WvW achievements

in WvW

Posted by: Wolfey.3407

Wolfey.3407

The problem with pvp was that they reduced the rank points needed for r80 to 1/8th of the previous value, the requiremend for Legendary Champion even to 1/16th.
Then they also significantly increased the rank points gained per match + bonus weekends.
Basically Anet only knows the extremes too hard and too easy. They never manage to find the middle grounds

Which is why i’m concerned over how harsh of an action they will do to the WvW achievements lol x)

Eles: Glyph of Renewal
Mesmers: Illusion of Life
Necros: Signet of Undeath
Ranger: “Search and Rescue!” / Spirit of Nature
Engineer: Toss Elixir R

Wolfey.3407

Agreed with what you guys are saying.

Personally, I think removing the last tier on every achievement is fair and reasonable.
E.g. 100k dolyaks vs 500k dolyaks

I’ve been playing this game since prelaunch. I have nearly 8.000 hours clocked on it. I play WvW at least 80% of the time I’m on, and I only recently managed to hit 10.000 dolyaks.
That’s over 2.5 years of killing dolyaks. What you are suggesting is 10x as much. It’s NOT fair and reasonable, considering the amount of time you need to get, say, dragon rank, which is the maximum tier.

I understand what you are saying, looking back on it the number should be lowered a bit more. However just like PvP it should NOT be a 2 months grind to max something out…. The amount of Dragons in PvP make the rank absolutely worthless….

There really is absolutely nothing we can do as forum specialists that you can do as players. The only thing we have that is different is an email that we can send a .doc(x) file to them in the format they want with the threads and summary of each thread.

We do not:
-Get Feedback from the reports
-Responses from the reports
-ETAs on fixes/ updates from reports
-Content notices

Not really defending him but hes probably in the same funk as a couple other forum specialists to where he has reported pretty much everything that has been suggested and doesn’t see the point in reporting without some type of feed back besides “Hey this topic was brought up already and reported”

Consideration of the Daily Winner.

in PvP

Posted by: Wolfey.3407

Wolfey.3407

Doing dailies is routine for me and love to do sPvP but I started thinking about the daily winner and weather or not it has affected the PvP environment. I’m not here to wine that they need to remove it; I personally PvP enough to have a go-to group of friends to play with but I got to wondering about this.

I feel like when the daily that calls for playing a specific class pops up it calls for people to play classes there not accustom to playing for the sake of a reward and this theoretically could increase the odds of teams consisting of players who might hold a team back or an over abundance of the same profession making teams a little less diverse.

I also considered the fact that some people just trying to get the daily winner done will just play until they get a win before stopping but that could potentially mean the players who drag teams down the most will be playing the longest.

I wanted to hear what others think about this and if they feel like its enough to effect matchmaking.

This has been brought up numerous times in past threads, I and i’m sure Gates has as well, have sent numerous reports on this to our boss.

Turn the water into jade like the jade sea for the 1 guy that cares about lore in pvp..

Not really a lore issue.. more of a visual appealing issue….
Rather a map go along one theme then two-three themes at once.

It’s like throwing 4th of July with Christmas lol

Redneckville anyone?

The Jade Sea idea is a good idea, but at that point you’d be better off making a whole new map to match the Luxon theme.

Please bring Raid on the Capricorn back

in PvP

Posted by: Wolfey.3407

Wolfey.3407

Hi,

It’s been a while now since the pvp map “Raid on the Capricorn” has been removed. I’d really like to play it again, even without any modification.

I think the map was really beautiful and well designed, excepted maybe for the submarine fights issue. Everything was created. Removing it is just throwing this work away.

There are not so many maps in pvp, and I think this one could be quickly re-designed to become a great one. Just put the underwater capture node on the ship, and add kind of a minor event in the water, like a single strong shark which would give the team a bonus upon kill (just as Svanir and the Chieftain on Nifhel).

Minor work to bring it back and make many players happy ! Those who don’t like it… Just don’t play it !

I’ve already reported on this topic to anet at least 3 times now.
Two of those times being with much larger threads than this current one.

I do not believe freezing the water will be a good idea….It’s a tropical beach not Siberia, Russia or Northern Canada….

Some of the popular suggestions I’ve seen on this include:
1) Draining the water and hiding Point B on top of the ship’s Deck
2) Re-add underwater combat and remove the Hostile Sharks
3) Make the water Shallow and only go up to the players chest and make Point B the middle of the lake.

Personally I prefer option 2 and 3 that have been suggested by a lot of people.

Even without freezing the sea, not placing anything underwater would solve the issue

No it wouldn’t. ANet removed underwater weapons from the PvP build entirely, which means that if you somehow got underwater in a PvP map you’d just have no weapons (or the game would crash? Honestly who knows) and it’d be pretty much terrible.

It was mostly removed since some classes dominated underwater combat way more effectively then other classes. …Ranger, Engineer, and Necro. It was just a convenience issue on the dev teams part to remove it then to re-balance underwater combat. There are numerous complaint threads originally on the state of underwater combat. The game will not crash, if anything the forums will crash from the same people complaining about op.

Posted by: Wolfey.3407

Wolfey.3407

Tried guardian this time, doing a bit better, I think my elementalist just sucked I guess.

I am a little disappointed in the score screen, I would expect more details like total damage dealt, total damage taken, allies healed, etc, How am I supposed to take competitive pvp seriously if there are no stats tracked to see who did what?

All you get is points captured, kills, couple of other things. =/

PvP in Guild Wars (series) is not something you can just dive right into and expect to be good at. You have to really understand your class or have the basic knowledge of the mechanics to be able to do a decent job.

As stated above, PvP in Guild Wars does not transfer over your PvE stats. PvP uses it’s own set of stats which can be found at the top of your screen while in the Heart of the Mists (PvP Lobby). You should see 2 icons, a helmet and two crossed swords.
You can still use your pve equipment, but it will be for looks only (armor and weapons, which is why you will see some people using their legendaries)

Click the Helmet Icon FIRST
Make sure you have the sigils you want to use
The Rune you wish to use (in pvp the one you chose applies to all armor pieces)
The Amulet you wish to use

The second icon on the left will take you to your traits, make sure they are the traits that you want to use. You can refund your traits by clicking the “Refund Traits” button at the top of that window.

Once those are done, make sure your utility skills are the skills you want to use.

If those are not the weapons you wish to use, you need to head to the weapon vendor and pick out the weapons that are suitable for your class that you wish to use. Equip those weapons and make sure your sigils are correct.

Once you are happy with everything:
Click the two crossed swords icon at the top of your screen:
Click Practice Custom Arena
Play a couple of games in there, make sure you are:
1) Comfortable with your setup
2) Like the way you are performing
3) Feel Confident to play with other people

Once all 3 of those are met:
Click Play Unranked Arena
Play a lot of matches here and see how you do. Unlike Practice Arena, you CAN NOT leave the match when ever you feel like it. If you leave a match while in progress you will be penalized (eventually).

If you still feel comfortable and are ready to really compete with others click “compete in Ranked Arena”

-Is it the PvP?
-Is it the constant facing premades?
-Is it the remarkable leaderboard system?

I keep playing this game because I can’t find anything else to play.
I usually only play the game for about 1 -2 hours a night until I get tired of facing full premades, trio Qs and 4 Qs in Ranked/Unranked.

Ranger Combination - SPVP

in PvP

Posted by: Wolfey.3407

Wolfey.3407

Hi,

I just started playing SPVP with my girlfriend a couple of days ago.

She uses a ranger (LB/GS power build) while I used a thief (DP/SB power build) but I feel like both of us working together might be too squishy since we are both bad against Warriors/Guardians.

Is it just my imagination or is there another class that could work better with a Ranger?

Thanks!

For your GF,
Signet of Stone + Rampage as One
Those two alone should make a difference against a guardian (about 80% of them)
If She sees them run with a hammer, pop rampage as one and laugh.
If she notice shes running low on HP pop signet of stone and have her retreat back to you. (won’t make her immune to existing condi damage) OR if you are down, have her pop signet of stone to try and quickly res you back up.

Heal wise, I would suggest she brings Healing Spring
Water Field AoE heal that will heal her and you, you both have a couple skills to take advantage of the water field. As a thief, if you have short bow there’s the spam finisher. As a Ranger, she has Great Sword 3 “Swoop” which is a Leap Finisher. As long as her arrows go over the water field, LB 1+2+3+4 will have a chance at physical projectiles “Regeneration”.

She can use this same strategy with a couple of your combo fields: Shadow Refuge (Dark) + Smoke Screen (Smoke). If she uses GS 3 on your Shadow Refuge it will trigger Leap Finisher for 3 seconds of Blindness. If she shoots over Shadow Refuge, she has a chance to steal life with each shot. With Smoke field, she can gain 3 seconds of stealth with GS 3. If she decides to shoot over it, she has a chance to cause 3 seconds of blindness.

When it comes to Guardians, it should come down to one of two factors:
1) Is the guardian running Wall of Reflection?
A) If so, don’t use LB against one
~)Use Great Sword for damage, Rampage as one for stability, Signet of Stone as a SoS
B) If not, are they running pure burning?
~) Watch your status bar and work as a team
~) LB + GS can be used, you both should take advantage of the combos and just dps the guardian down as fast as possible withing respect of your teams situation. (no need to chase or lose a point for a kill)

Recommendation for one of her skills:
Signet of Renewal, the passive sucks “one condi every 10 seconds”
but she wouldn’t be running it for the passive, the active is what she
wants it for. “Your per pulls ALL conditions from NEARBY allies to itself”
It’s a great regrouping skill if you’re facing a nasty condi necro/ mesmer/ warrior. Sort of a Soft Reset on a fight

Pet wise:
Juvenile Wolf :
Fear
Knock Down

Since you both are running as a pair:

Fern Hound:
Regens on any allies within range
Knock Down

When i’m playing with my friend, I love it when she brings her Thief ^-^
If it’s just not doing it for you, you can try Guardian and keep applying boons.

Gaile Gray, I’m hearin what you’re sayin and I know you don’t play. People need to chill and listen to some Coldplay. I think that I should make an exploratory survey. The forums they are toxic I think my eyes are about to decay. I’m singing you this song in a heartfelt way. The others need to zip it and please make way.

Gaile Gray does in fact play the game…. I’ve run by her a couple of times along with a couple other Anet employees.

In her own words (with the person she was responding to deleted for space purposes)

First, I’m Gaile, not Galie. Second, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, I play GW2 every night. I play on my own time because I love the game and I just don’t think I can increase that.

I’ll be happy to post in the PvP thread, as well. It’s a shame we have two threads about the same topic, but because the one in PvP seems specifically about PvP-related issues, where this thread is broader and discusses chat concerns in all forms of play, we’ll leave them both running so players can share their thoughts.

Are we ever going to be able to play spvp with our friends?
I might be the only one but what makes pvp fun imo is playing with friends just like most other content in game. So why cant we join as a party?

You Can…
1) Team up with a party of 4 other friends, queue up for Ranked or Unranked
2) If you have 9 other friends you want to play with, purchase a custom arena or find an empty one and play there. My guild, tends to have drunk nights to where we go into a custom arena and fight each other out of boredom.

It is getting bad,
I’ve reported this numerous times based on a ton of the threads on this topic that seem to pop up almost weekly. Until we hear something (same boat as you guys), the best thing to do is:
1) Ignore them
A) Turn off Map Chat/ Say Chat
B) Report those that cross the line (racism, death threats etc.)

2) Try to foster a positive environment, if you see a lot of negativity going on, try to put a positive spin on it. E.g. “Stupid thief can’t even stay alive” instead of joining the trash the newbie train, try responding with something like "Hey, you’re doing great damage but you should try attacking from behind ".

Rapid Fire

in Ranger

Posted by: Wolfey.3407

Wolfey.3407

I do play Ranger,
I find that the best counter against thieves is Sic ‘Em. Very rarely do I rely on Rapid Fire to stay on top of them. Generally speaking, when thieves find out that they can’t stealth they panic and try to yolo you down. When that happens, its just clocking them up side the head with a GS Hilt Bash, or Sword 1 Chain them down.

Back on topic with Rapid Fire,
I don’t think it would be the end of the world if Rapid Fire were to end as soon as an enemy went invisible. There’s a counter to it to make sure your rapid fire gets off 100% and that’s to go with Sic ’em -> Point Black Shot / Hilt Bash -> Rapid Fire. With that being said, If Rapid Fire receives this fix; all other classes with similar mechanics should receive this fix as well.

That would be a bit of work for what exactly (changing a game mechanic, how channeled skills have work from the beginning of the game)? What does that add to the game as a whole when compared to what that manpower/hours could be used for?

Nothing really, which is sort of what I was trying to get at :P
It’s a lot easier to learn your class and play their natural counters then to demand one class gets a special mechanic fix while other classes with similar mechanics go untouched.

No other ranger LB skill applies vulnerability!!!!

I can only hope that you are exaggerating there as there are additional (non-sigil) sources of vulnerability, none of which are really an issue.

All in all if it’s longbow being a issue it would be somethings else as there are members of the player base that have taken a bias against the ranger profession to he point of anything less than reducing the profession to completely useless or its total removal will satisfy them.

Um no.. There is only ONE SKILL on LONG BOW for RANGER that has natural VULNERABILITY.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Longbow

Please show me BESIDES RAPID FIRE which is ONE SKILL as i stated and you quoted, uses vulnerability as well.

Just like no one likes:
Hambow warriors

Turret Engies
Medi Guardians
MM Necro
Heart Seeker Thieves
PU Mesmer

Each class has something that can be considered “OP” or “broken”

The damage of the Ranger’s Long Bow is not an issue. It’s a combination of two issues, one of which anet does need to address the other is just the players fault.

1) The Range is a little longer then stated, that is something that needs to be looked into.

2) Rapid Fires damage which is the root of at least 75% of these complaints is stemmed from the 10 stacks of VULNERABILITY. Just pay attention to your bar, when you see your stacks of vulnerability going up, cleanse them. OR pop a defensive skill to offset it.

No other ranger LB skill applies vulnerability!!!!

The old PvP dailies and monthlies were just earned by playing the game, and I do think that those simplistic dailies were better. However, I do understand that the new daily system (across PvE, PvP, WvW) is meant to push players outside of their normal routine, which is also why there was some backlash.

As far as that angle goes: If you really want to encourage people to practice different professions, please don’t tell them, “Today everyone is going to play profession X or profession Y!” Instead, tell them, “Play two different professions today.” The rank point and reward dailies push people towards queue games because they earn more points. But as much as I’d like to encourage people to vote for different maps, it’d be boring to play the same map for a whole day. Combat dailies (dodges, interrupts, etc.) I feel would be disruptive in the same way as other PvP objective-focused dailies.

Very valid points and such a nice way of putting it

Simplistic is better for the game because it brings in more people queueing for SPVP and allows people who enjoy SPVP the most able to finish their daily there and not feel forced to do things they don’t want to.

makes sense, thank you.

I understand what you’re getting at (which is that no unique alternatives have been given), but I think you’re asking the wrong question and that you still missed my point.

I’m getting the sense from this thread that PvPers don’t especially care for dailies and would be fine with them being as generic as possible. It’s not only that these dailies are problematic, it’s that dailies as a concept aren’t actually constructive for a competitive game mode.

Dailies tied to specific actions will promote counter-productive behaviour in many instances. This means that the only dailies you can have are wholly neutral, but these don’t really give anything good or bad to PvP (apart from encouraging people to enter PvP).

A Map Variety daily might be neutral enough to be included in the list, although it could still be frustrating because of the RNG involved.

Understood,

Would a better question be:

Would you guys likes to see PvP daily’s removed or have them replaced with simplistic bland achievements.

If I’m still missing the mark I’ll quit posting and let gates take over.

The point is that there an inherent conflict between PvP Dailies and actually playing and enjoying PvP. PvP is not a walk in the park (i.e. open world PvE) where what you do won’t negatively impact other players’ experience of the game. The profession dailies are the worst example, but even the capture, defender, and player kill dailies encourage players to do things that don’t necessarily help their teams. A “Specialist” daily like the one you proposed would engender similar problems.

There’s really only one way that players want their teammates to play unranked/ranked PvP, and that is to win. How do you win? It depends on the match, and giving side quests like daily reviver or daily trebuchet operator takes away from that.

Thank You,
I agree with a lot of what you have said and appreciate the extra details you’ve given.
What four dailies would you suggest to replace the current ones?

WVW isn’t comparable to spvp at all because it isn’t a 5vs5 match, and anything you do benefits your server in some way.

There is some valid points made with that statement in regards to the size. But I would argue that anything you do does NOT always benefit your server. If i’m going to command and try to do a quick steal of a Garrison, I wouldn’t want people taking everything leading up to the garrison. It would be a giant red/green/blue arrow in which way the zerg is going.

[Suggestion] WvW achievements

WvW achievements should be easier to acquire; however, they shouldn’t be too easy. The best case I can make is how easy it is to acquire Dragon in PvP as well as the achievements that go with them.

I would love to see this map returned, even if it’s for practice only.

You’re a pretty terrible forum specialist. You literally ignored my post.

Hopefully a developer is around to actually read the feedback.

You are entitled to your opinion, you may file a complaint if you wish.

I did in fact read your post that’s why I bothered to quote it and reply to it directly.
I addressed your complaint in regards to bringing up the other daily’s and presented my reasoning behind it.

I’ve read your ideas at the bottom of the post and left the 4th spot with the ?? as a blank to try and foster other communications.

I’m sorry my posts have greatly offended you, have a nice day.

I don’t know why you keep bringing up capture daily. People in this thread have explicitly said it shouldn’t be a daily because it encourages bad behavior.

The objectives can be any mix of win a match, do two matches, kill three players, do a ranked match, get a reward track reward, and get some rank points. Everything else is bad.

The thread is titled " please disable profession win dailies"
not
“please disable profession win and capture and other dailies that ruin pvp”

I brought It up since if the suggestion to delete the two daily pvp classes does happen, PvP will only have two dailies.

The point we are getting stuck on is what will replace those two daily spots? PVE has 4, WVW has 4. PvP will be at 2.

So to resumerize and feel free to correct me if im wrong the dailies you guys wouldn’t mind seeing would be:

-Daily PvP Player Kills
-Daily PvP Capture
-Daily PvP Games Played
-?

I’d imagine anet would want a 4th to round it out with the others.

So you want gates and I to submit a report stating that the players want very dull and boring daily’s? That’s going to go over well…. Why not just delete pvp dailys all together since you can make an argument that any of the pvp dailys is ruining someones pvp experience?

PvP Capture, oh no everyone on red is at home instead of capturing other points.

Daily PvP Player kills, oh no everyone is spawn camping instead of capturing points.

The PvP dailies are necessary to be able to get the 10 achievement points from PvP. Isn’t that completely obvious?

But yes, the point is to make daily achievements as bland as possible. It has to be stuff that literally doesn’t encourage any specific behavior. So goals like playing or winning matches, killing a small amount of players, or getting a reward track award of some sort are fine. Anything more specific is not.

sort of hope that’s sarcasm o.O
you only get ap from “Daily completionist” which rewards 10 AP.
Just have to do 3 PVE/WVW/PVP or mix of them to get it…

To do a pure PvP on what people are purposing alone, you will only have:
Daily PvP Capture
Daily PvP Player Kills

2 < 3

Need at LEAST 1 more added
If it’s games played that’s cool and fine.

But those would be the only 3 every day with no variation, after 48 hours the new complaint hot topic is going to be “anet doesn’t like pvp because we only have 3 dailys”
or “pvp is the step child of the game since wvw and pve have more dailys”

As petty as it sounds i promise you that’s going to be the next complaint.

That’s exactly accurate, the spvp community would be happier without PVErs in our games or people doing things just to complete dailies which don’t actively help their team win.

And I’m sure WvW’rs feel the same about PVE/ PVP players going into wvw for a very quick and easy daily. Especially if you’re on a gold, silver or bronze server.

PvE’rs are probably tired of wvwr’s/ and pvp’rs asking kittened questions about boss timers every 2-3 minutes for a daily.

WvW wise, it doesn’t help your server to have pvp’rs/ pve’rs running with out the proper setup to steal a ruin or tower.

PVE wise, im sure no one wants snobby wvw’rs and pvp’rs eating up a slot on their map that they would rather have their friend or guildy be able to join them.
