“You can’t have more than 10 HS decks because that would confuse people”
“30 fps is more cinematic”
You and your guildmates are not really keen on statistics.
I did new AC p3 with 4 players, we were experienced players that had never done that path, took like 30 minutes and nobody ever died. Guess we are elitists.

Hello from “those hylek treb guys”
/signed.
I just finished a lv 40 fractal run ( personal reward lv 40 ) and walked out with 3 rares and 1 account bound exo for 2h+ of playtime in what is possibly the hardest dungeon in the game. Granted, I do play for fun and I’m chasing the skins, so loot isn’t that important to me, but for the sake of consistency higher level fractals should really see an increase in loot.
Each type of armor has exactly the same amount of stats. The only difference is the “defense” of each piece, which basically counts as toughness, because total armor = toughness + defence.
That being said, I don’t think heavy armor makes that much of a difference by itself, and I recall reading somewhere that this difference in defense amounts to 15% less direct damage taken, which is not a big deal.
Y u no like AoE stability?
And i have to say, i m disappointed that Wrench Crowbar has left us for Desolation.
WHAT?! Aww man, I loved that guy (no kitten ! That’s why I haven’t seen him for ages
@ Leorcyn and Xispeo : this whole discussion is pointless as you won’t budge from your views and our reasons for not liking your playstyle are apparently invalid. But instead of going to lower tiers like Xispeo suggests, I’d rather work to have YOU enjoy them

People that want to veto certain types of content are like people ordering salads at a steakhouse and complaining that you’re ordering steak.
Thanks for the flawed comparison, but guess what, it is flawed. I’m fine with sexy armor or more sexy armor choices for people who like them, but when I want to see naked ladies MMOs are not my go-to.
I’m glad that you are playing for your fun, and if a sizeable bunch on your server finds golem rushing empty keeps fun then more power to them! To me though that’s cheap (doesn’t earn you my respect) and makes for non-pleasent matches (doesn’t make me like you). There, we have solved the mystery of “why so much VZ hate”. No hard feelings, just pointing that out.
Oh and by the way, it doesn’t help your cause at all when you elevate what is merely nightcapping to some kind of evolution or superior gaming or whatever.
Here’s a +1 from me, as long as we’re not talking of this kind of sexy

It’s not about made-up rules. It’s just about making heavy use of a strategy considered cheap and certainly not fun to play against, and then not being that good at other aspects of WvW.

I don’t really understand why SFR gets a lot of flack as a “bandwagon” server. We have a really strong backbone of guilds/commanders that have been with us if not since start, for at least 3+ months. OSC, Riot,kitten VcY, Rise and others are responsible for our long climb from t6-7 to where we are currently.
SFR wouldn’t be dominating as we’ve been doing in the last two weeks without all the new guilds that joined us, but we would certainly be able to hold our own in t1 or win most of the time in t2.
1) Mesmers: shouldn’t have to explain why
2) Can’t Catch Me Thief : requires an army to track down and kill, they just stand there and stealth/teleport away over and over again. Will never engage unless it outnumbers you, but will follow you nonetheless. Most commonly found in WvW.
3) Backstab Mug Thief : doesn’t cause me much trouble but I cry everytime one of my guildmates gets instagibbed.
4) Any other Thief
5) Any other Mesmer.
What is this I don’t even… the only time I’ve seen invulnerable enemies it’s when they are running away/running to an event zone or are saying something. In all of those situations, they never attack or even aggro players, so if it happened, it must’ve been a (rare) bug and I wouldn’t take it as seriously as you are doing. Even if the bug existed and wasn’t so rare, I don’t see any situation in which invulnerable mobs can defeated you in 4< seconds.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Balance regarding Champions is out of the window: some can be easily soloed/duoed like the Champion Ooze and Champion Drake in Cursed Shore, some others are scary even for a full party ( Krait Witkittenessek Hills ).

GW2 combat has depth, you just don’t find it in braindead easy events, but in PvP and, to a lesser extent, challenging PvE ecounters (some dungeons).
Also we might have different definitions of depth, as I believe complex =/= deep. Chess is a prime example of a game that’s relatively simple but really deep.

I think the new AC is better, and lol at taking 4hours at completing one path. I did path 3 with 3 of my guildmates (guardian, ranger, elementalist, thief) from start to finish ( our 5th had lag problems ) in around 50 minutes and wiping twice at Rumblus because we didn’t know the mechanics. And don’t mistake this for some kind of boast as I think of myself/my guildmates of pretty average players and I believe the new AC is easier than the old one, especially on low level characters.
@ Funky: why would you need a full team for it? I bet that a good experienced party can manage the boss in 4 or even 3, while some of GW2 best players could duo it. That being said your strategy seems pretty good but I would keep one player in melee range of the boss all the time as the traps don’t get charged if Mr. Ghost Eater is standing inside the circle. Also take into account that no matter your DPS, the boss will regain its shield at 75%, 50% and 25% hp.

If all your gear has Rune of the Necromancer minus one that has Undead, and that one is not the helm/breather, then how do you unlock the 6th bonus (line) of a set? People are assuming that you don’t know how aqua breathers work because in your original post you seem to imply that they have some sorth of benefit regarding runes.
Why on earth would your post be infracted? What you speak is the truth.
Well I wanted to make a new thread for the simple reason that this one is 14 pages long and thought it’d be easier to navigate through the new one. Oh well, if people want to keep posting in here better have a mod close the new one
Too bad you don’t get the benefits ( rune included ) of an aqua breather unless you are underwater, Mr. Mogturmen.
It begins! Couldn’t play at reset so I have nothing of value to start with, but allow me to have the honor of starting this thread. GL & HF everyone.
If I may ask, why didn’t we deserve the other two wins Qwixx? Because we had PRX with us? It’s not forbidden, there’s no rule about having EU-only players.
P.s. thread for the new week sponsored by me https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/9-03-Seafarer-Desolation-Vizunah
(edited by Wolfheart.1938)
You are misinformed, Vizunah didn’t have a bug, EU servers had, including Seafarer’s ( I know because it denied me access for at least 1 hour). Yes we got a lot of points during that time, but unless you can prove that somehow Vizunah got affected more than Seafarer’s it’s just moot talk. GG to everyone nonetheless.
I’m sorry Deniara but what you are asking is not to play →half<- of the classes, and that just isn’t realistic. I happen to play a Guardian for the simple reason that I like its playstyle and apparently for some weird reason that makes me less skilled in your eyes? Just so you kno, Engineers are pretty proficient at WvW.
You’ll apologize my little off topic but apparently my post regarding that Deso ranger has been infracted and I just wanted to point to anyone that might have reported it that I was joking and was just referring to a nice chase me and said player had some days ago. It was just my way to post something that’s not insulting others players but overzealous mods are overzealous.
Not only that but a second post of mine which quoted the old one was deleted so I’ll have to repeat myself.
Please trolls from every server (kingface I’m looking at you especially) refrain from mudslinging as it does nothing but damage your own server reputation. I’m having a blast (when it doesn’t lag) and altough your heavy use of nightcap greatly kitten es me off I respect you, and Desolation, as opponents.

Yesterday Frenchies wiped my zerg :<
Deso stop ninjaing Stonemist plz
Exactly as Zenith stated.
I see that you did not take seriously my advice about punctuation. Oh well, your loss not mine.
That being out of the way, I disagree with almost everything you’ve posted, especially when you mention how -every- player needs “progression” and “goals”. Sorry but I’m a player and I would’ve been much happier without stupid ascended/laurels stuff.
What about Order armors? Do they have a level requirement?
You are forgetting craftable sets and any Karma set that’s not sold in Orr :P Oh, and cultural t1-t2 sets =) They’re all pretty affordable.

1. Map and Location : Harathi Hinterlands – Ourobore Caves
2. World : Seafarer’s Rest
3. Date, Time : 03/03/2013 , 12 a.m. CET.
4. Quantity: 4
These bots were quite original as they had proper names, were from different guilds ( maybe stolen accounts? ) and used unusual skills (such as Elementalist’s Conjure Flame) but they kept warping/lagging around and cycled through the cave in the same pattern. They didn’t answer any of my whispers. All of them have been reported through the reporting system.

Here we go again. Good luck everyone.
Oh the whining. Go grind cash in CoF P1.

New players go to Ascalonian Catacombs story mode to learn dungeons. Explorables are supposed to be at least a bit challenging. Anyways, I’m playing a Guardian ( least mobile class in game ) and I have no troubles dodging the red circles. The fight is tuned just well and the first time we did it we had just one casualty (a player that always dies in every dungeon because I don’t know…).

Time and time again i go from mmo to mmo and I find that devs feel the need to change something that was working or people enjoy
Well, a lot of people complained about it beforehand, so criticize them and not ANet, they just did what these people called for.
Really? I literally know of no-one who ever complained about AC exploration needing to be change…
I never complained but I like the new AC more than the old one. Ghost Eater, Rumblus and the screamer guy were just lame. Not only that, but I think the general difficulty has been toned down overall.
But you can buy gold with gems already O.o
And that is a bad thing because…?
I stopped reading at the first paragraph. Some of the options are there for the simple reason people can choose what to do, or be enticed to try something new. For example, today you could’ve easily picked:
- Complete 5 Events
- Kill 5 Veterans
- Kill 30 wildlife
- Gather 20 Nodes
- Gain 1 level.
Bonus Choices:
- Spend 700 Karma.
- Kill 2 Champions
There you go, you can do this daily with the same exact amount of freedom you had with previous dailies. I can make example for the dailies of the past days, if need be. I am not reading the rest of the wall of text if just the first paragraph is so fallacious.

You purposefully chose to ignore 3 quarters of the game because you don’t “need” them and then you think there’s a problem with lack of content. Interesting.
Something that’ll entertain you for 2 weeks takes 2 months to be developed.
But chances are you won’t be fighting Jade Quarry forever.
But you can get full map exploration without having to fight anyone ever, especially if you wait for server colors to rotate. And who said that map exploration is strictly PvE? WvW is, at least partially, considered PvE.
(edited by Wolfheart.1938)
Jordy can you please use proper punctuation? It would make reading your posts easier.
New PvP map, Living Story changes ( haven’t checked that out ) and a crapload of content for guilds. And if the next patch is as big as the last two, we’re not getting a free expansion but something along the lines.
I’m ok with the nerf as long as someone explains me how to do the dredge fractals initial part without them at lv 40+ on a party without thieves. I’m a pretty tanky Guardian ( 19k hp, 3k armor ) and the dredges destroy me even when using Shelter/Sanctuary/Shield of the Avenger/Wall of Reflection/blablabla.
I’m not saying that everything is fine and dandy because as you quickly pointed out there’s still a ton of issues. As many posters here I’d be happier if Ascended Gear was never released, or wasn’t so alt-unfriendly at least. But oh well, the fact that both rings, amulets and the new accessories include 3 of the most common combos is a sign that they are working on it. =)
I never used Signet of Mercy in 6 months of playing Guardian. Then again, it’s probably the worst ress-related skill in game.
