Guild Wars 2

satkis.7021:

SFR sure has a lot of these!

Haha take it easy fellas!

Actually I read the first 2 pages of the thread carefully and guess what? For each troll post from SFR people there’s around the same amount of kitten flinged from Deso people. Just like VS had it’s own (un)healthy dose of trolls but noooooo, they kept crying about US creating a “rotten atmosphere”.

But please, go on, it’s pointless anyways.

@ Tita: this is an international forum, it’s not really considerate of you and your folks to write something in french every two posts.

Sorry Deso golem rushers on EB, we were supposed to be asleep.

And we were wondering why we can’t make any siege, then someone said “we can make golems”… So you know the rest

Not any serious try (however it may have looked like). More like “for lulz” cause no other siege worked and ppl started throwing all their golems on the floor – not much to do with them in the end

HOLY SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII…

That is all.

Sorry Deso golem rushers on EB, we were supposed to be asleep.

Josh! JOSH! How’s SAB doing?

There are many safe spots in the map and the island has… 10 events in total? They pop far too often but that may be because the living story is going on.

Thanks Colin, hasty answer! Glad to know it hasn’t been scrapped.

Yeah, any news on that dear Arenanet?

AFAIK they have a rare chance of dropping from tournament chests.

I stopped reading when you started suggesting that ranged classes dominate the dungeons and your elementalists does more damage than your warrior. Oh and dropping bound on pickup yellows.

I’m usually a pretty patient guy but really, get a clue dude.

This thread smells of nationalism and racism. Please begone.

Post history, bro.

I need to make you a “Vayne’s seal of approval” image.

Welcome back Vaske.

I laughed because you complained about Mist Form finally working like every other invulnerability besides Mesmer’s distortion. Check Engineer’s shrinking potion and let me know how you feel with your new character.

Sorry for off topic.

Welcome Desolation, happy to cross swords with you again! Couldn’t play much at reset, still had fun. Impressive trying to kill one of your dolyaks and crashing into 20 of your players escorting it! I wish we gave to escorting/defending camps has much importance as you do!

Also notice how nice the thread is, it must be because everyone has finally gotten rid of boring as skritt Vizunah and Jade blobs.

No, my bad. It was SFR border, Jade Sea kept crashing for everyone. I’m young but my memory sucks already

The post from the VS player made my day.

Congratulations to KoA and their small group who kicked our kitten at Jade Sea border last night

Would totally love a cryptic city-maze like Kaineng but having explorable versions of the Jade Sea and the Echovald Forest is an order.

To each server its trolls…

Excited to welcome back Desolation, don’t really know how you performed recently but I hope you’ll be a threat for both us and Kodash.

JS has some of the most determined trebbers in the whole game! Nice job pushing us back in EB earlier today.

AgentChaos.4932:

why cant you support the team when using scepter? if i want to shout i’ll just move near my team mates then pop the shouts, then i’ll go back out and attack from range.
beside at high fractal, melee is pretty suicidal

Nah. Level 42 here, relatively tanky Guardian ( 17k HP, 2.9k armor ) and I melee 80% of the time. Not to boast, mind you.

I’ve been playing a Guardian for the longest time, cookie-cutter bunker build in SPvP and something similar to hurlockbr’s build for PvE/WvW. While I’m not a min-maxer by any mean, nor I’ve ever played a full tank Guardian in Pve/WvW I suppose I know a bit about how the profession works.

With that in mind, my first advice would be not to focus entirely on 3 stats, and I’ll explain why later. Guardians are particularly tanky not for their heavy armor (which doesn’t do much really), not for their HP (smallest HP pool together with Thieves and Elementalists), but for their heals and boons. As such, going PVT on Guardians is, in my opinion, a crime against humanity. What you want is mainly Cleric ( Healing power/tough/power ) with other pieces mixed in, as you definitely need at least 14k-15k HP and some precision to boost up both your damage and your survivability (yes, survivability!).

(I’ll edit this post later as the subject requires a well thought out post and I’m in a bit of a hurry)

You really shouldn’t criticize Kodash’s playstyle. Yes they are undermanned, so what? At least their small groups make for a nice change of pace from map-blobs.

Yes, they clearly stated that they are aiming at Nintendo-hard content for SAB final levels/hard mode. And they are making it particularly hard because SAB has an easy-mode too, so the majority of players will be able to get through anyways. But enough derailing the thread from me.

Nick.6972:

No hard content, more content that can be done by auto attacking and without dodging!
I speak for the majority of the Guild Wars 2 playerbase, we don not want challenging content! We don’t want content that is longer than 10 minutes.

More SABs!

This boy is on a rampage after his thread asking for content made artificially harder got shut down. Will you ever stop posting the same thing over and over again? Thanks.

Oh and by the way SAB is gonna be insanely hard when later worlds and hard-mode come out. I bet what you want that you won’t be able to complete it when it’s finally done.

But yeah I do agree that the game needs something a little more challenging, but since it would only benefit a minority, I understand why it’s not their priority.

Sorry to have rustled your jimmies, didn’t mean to sound rude to anyone. Had great fun today on Jade Sea borderlands. Plz stop fortifying Titanpaw, it makes doing my job pretty hard.

The french and night-capping, oh boy.

Also welcome back insane lag on EB. Today was unplayable for me

You flaunt a commander icon? lol

I can’t see a thing, are you running GW2 on a potato?

See everyone at reset, it’ll be fun!

The game isn’t anti-social.

The percentage of players that want to interact and chat with others is apparently very small, and I have very few reasons to believe it’s different in other MMOs. It just happens that other games make grouping a requirement for a lot of things, while GW2 leaves you free to choose. The guy who you grouped with? Yeah, he doesnt’ care about you, he just needed you to tank that mob for him.

You said that, not me! :P

Unfortunately I think we’ll just have to deal with it, as long as it gets them more money than outright selling the weapons at a fixed price.

Nobody likes RNG weapon skins, nobody. Not even Vayne. Seriously…not. even. Vayne.

I do miss them, but I understand why they aren’t there in the open world. However I really don’t get why the enemies inside dungeons aren’t like that. More often than not, “trash” mobs in dungeons are just packs of the same mob, or mobs that don’t work together at all…

stjf.7180:

Aside from the abuse that females get on teamspeak, how do you think someone who has a job and is at work all day long feels when they’re told that they have to go on teamspeak and listen to someone barking orders at them.

First of all, you are not required to talk, so even if you are a female, nobody will know. We already said that, stop reading selectively. Second, I don’t know how females are treated on SFR TS (haven’t seen many), but I know of a good number of them being respected commanders on other servers, so the situation is not as grim as you depict it.

Moreover, I’ve never ever seen a commander “bark” orders to anyone, all of them are pretty chill even in difficult situations. I don’t know how do you want to follow a commander without him giving you directions, but oh well.

Finally, if you want to take WvW casually you are free to do so, but don’t require the community of one of the strongest WvW servers to change for you.

P.s. I don’t know what do you mean by “backseat commanding” but it may have been me, as I tend to spam a lot the chat when no commander is on. My favourite thing to do is joining a map in which we’re outnumbered and without a leader and trying to set up defenses to hold as much as we can while waiting for reinforcements. I like to think that I do no harm to anyone, while helping the server. Perhaps I need to buy a blue dorito for you to like it?

Now we’ve debunked all of your reasons to insist on never using it, and I’ll leave it at that, since people from other servers are demanding for more interesting posts.

VS is always feverish when other servers are in good shape. Although I gotta give them credit for the “last stand” push, which was, aside from the lag, one of the of best WvW weeks I’ve ever had.

The main problem is that they’re not facerollable like most open world PvE is, so there’s a huge gap in difficulty. The other problem is that a good chunk of people finds them too hard, while another sizeable chunk too easy.

I belong to the 2nd group and believe that medium-skilled players with decent (rare or superior, not glass-cannony) gear can complete them without too much hassle once they get acquainted to them. After all I’m no pro player and I’ve pugged every dungeon in the game and fractals up to level 42, and almost never aborted the run due to wipes.

P.s. I really approve of your implication that people “raiding” in other games aren’t all that great.

Thanks for supporting their RNG money-making bs.

@ stjf: You call it elitism, I call it organization. And yes, it’s a game and it’s about fun and I find way more interesting/fun having a fight in which I can hear the commander call for buffs, water fields, veils, fake engagements and whatnot. Spamming 1 because I have no clue on what our group is about to do is not fun, to me. While someone not on TS can definitely do a good job, he will rarely be able to react as well as someone on it.

That out of the way, while I don’t agree on the policy of “forcing” people to join TS I do think it’s a necessary tool for dedicated WvW players. Oh and you are not required to speak, so if you have troubles with revealing your gender just mute yourself…not that we’ve had problems with the (few) female WvWers on TS, afaik.

Not me boycotting RNG chests

Getting people to say anything in /say is the hardest PvE I can imagine. I feel your pain OP.

Dayra.7405:

Air.3154:

Guess why.

Vizu put fear in their hearts?

Oh boy, where do I start with this one…

By the way it’s true, it’s scary how many players here disregard every non-WvW addition xD As I’m guilty of playing like a Skritt (ooh! Shiny!), I don’t really understand them.

The sample at the end of the JP is a great idea because :

- incentivizes/rewards people for completing it
- is not needed by people that don’t want to get it.

/thread

LordByron.8369:

in the interview linked in the 14.000 post thread that was promptly deleted ….
and in some other interviews of the same few days….

False, unless you can prove it.

I guess you have forgotten about all the features that have been introduced since november, just off the top of my head:

- Preview on TP
- Culling slider in WvW
- Team colors option in PvP/WvW
- Custom Arenas (beta)
- Spectator mode (beta)
- Guild missions
- WPX
- Countless bug fixes (dare I say Fractal disconnection bug?)
- Revamped Dailies & new Ascended items

Saying that the updates haven’t added anything permanent to the game is silly. Arenanet have announced a while ago that their focus for the first half of this year is to improve the core game, not to add new content. Besides, the parts of the living story that make sense to still exist WILL remain ( Cragstead & Hatchery, new settlements/events in Southsun ).

P.s. SAB isn’t gone forever and will be back in a few months with hard mode and World 2.

8 – 12 means cycling through the existing 3 ones at least 3 times. Considering their respawn timer is at least 2 minutes, that’s too much. If there are more eggs, as you say, it’s better but still not enough. While completing it with the bunch of players around the two events in which you have to calm the settlers down popped up and were completed. Not to mention that as soon as you complete it, you have at best 1 minute before it starts again.

Edit: just ran around for a bit below, found another 4 karka nests for a grand total of 7 nests. Roaming karkas never dropped an egg for me. Am I the only one who thinks this event is too long? Because I just asked in /say but using the chat in MMOs is for losers

Really? Devs have to design around playing the game with heavy lag and latency? How about we let the Karka just stand there and die like 90% of the mobs currently around?

Just wanted the to let the devs know that Owain’s event is barely completable just as it was pre-patch. I used to think it was a known problem that would’ve been addressed this patch, but no changes were put in place.

To keep it simple, Owain’s event is way too long. She asks for too many eggs, and there are not enough eggs around. In fact, I’m writing this thread alt-tabbing while waiting for the freaking 3 karka nests to respawn, and it’s already 5 minutes in but the bar is not even halfway filled. Killing the karkas down below not only is annoying for the path you have to take, but also seems to give you no eggs.

Thanks for your attention.

While I agree with most of your post, the rolling attack really isn’t a problem for any player used to the Karkas. It deals a lot of damage yes, but can be easily dodged or even side-stepped if you start moving as soon as the start-up animation begins. People just need to watch out for it and the other 2 dangerous attacks the Karkas have.

Need score update because too lazy to check it for myself.

Also annoyed by Dayra and his impeccable SFR evaluation. It’s nice that you got your opinion and all, but remember that you are an outsider that didn’t even fight against SFR for the longest time. Things may be not as clear-cut as they seem to you, just saying.

And there I was thinking that knowing what celebrity plays GW2 perfectly fits the definition of “internet junk”.

If I misinterpreted and you actually mean people famous within GW2, then Teldo trumps everyone.
