Yes, a good day for battles in FA BL. We spent all day reinforcing and supplying, and it’s all coming down to these few moments. TC took the AH keep and mounted a massive golem rush on our Garrison, we managed to push them out but they keep coming back for more, we’ll see where it goes from here.
1. There be multiple borderland maps that are on rotation, so that every border land is different, with up to 6 (and hopefully more) borderlands that could be selected.
2. Make one of those maps a Wild West theme, complete with tumbel weeds, cactus, horses with no names, and music from A Fist Full of Dollars.
3. Add environmental effects such as earthquakes, tornadoes, fires, etc.
2 hours to find a group last night, never did finish due to constant DCing. :/
1 hour + right now to find another group.
This is stupidly stupid. Allow people to join groups in higher level like how people can join groups and do dungeon explorable mode without having done story.
I suggest that when a tower becomes contested that the portal become inactive, the entrance portal.
This will ruin the current WvW strategy of everyone coming in a back gate until enough people are there to sally forth into battle,but instead change the strategy to creating a siege breaking group outside who then comes to engage the enemy force, which is more realistic anyways.
Main thing I wonder is, where is the WvW love? I’ve been WvWing with the majority of my time, I don’t want to dungeon, especially these new ones. Give me ascended stuff in WvW, and at the same time lower the number of badges for a set, I mean, 2 pieces of armor cost more than the gift of battle, WTH?
Thats the same for dungeon armors, too. Gift of xyz costs less than 2 armor parts.
Main difference is getting dungeon tokens is easy (60 per run) while getting WvW tokens is difficult. (400 hours WvW, 650 tokens)
I’m going to be honest; I dislike Fort Aspenwood. Our last matchup with HoD, I think, left a really bitter taste in my mouth and I couldn’t wait to finish. Not trying to say your whole server is like this, but there really are a lot of whiners; every single matchup thread, there is always someone disputing the score, saying that it must be 2v1 or the endless ‘if only’. If only they would stop nightcapping. If only we had more people, then we would stomp all over them.
That might not be what your server thinks as a whole, but it’s annoying a lot of people. When you look back at previous matchup threads, can you really blame us for purposefully focusing on your server?
Then you’re just self-fullfilling prophecy and in general making things worse. So stahp, plz.

It’s only free if you pay full price for the game ($60), at most stores you can pick it up for $40 now, so yeah, you’ll be paying twice as much for the original upgrade ($70 or $10 to upgrade).
Farm everything between 55 and 80. If you are only farming level 80 areas you are playing the game like other mmos and you are wrong.
“The amount of loot that drops for downscaled players has been increased. You should now be able to receive level-equivalent loot until you are fighting at a downscaled level that is less than 2/3 of your actual level. You should also receive loot a greater percentage of the time as well as receiving a greater percentage of experience, gold, and karma. For level 80 characters, this means level 55+ areas will be able to drop level 80 gear and give about 75% or so of the other rewards. Previously, these areas would give level 77 gear at best and closer to 60% or so of your rewards.”
One of the main reasons for being in 80 zones is to farm orichalcum.
It was really bad, because of the way pets roam around aimlessly. You run up to a guy to res him, then your pet runs up in front of you and you start ressing the pet instead of the guy, and because AN has never implemented target promotion properly anyone else who tries to res the guy will also start ressing the pet.
In any dungeon boss battle my pet usually dies in about 10 seconds if it’s melee. So because of that pets are almost always on cooldown in those fights, the only really protracted fights there are. There needs to be a lower cooldown for pets in PvE because this means that Rangers in dungeons are almost always at a DPS disadvantage to other classes because almost always they have at least 40 seconds to wait before they can go back to full power.
I have close to 700 hours played in this game. I do all kinds of content, farm, WvW, occasional PvP etc. I play the game the way it was meant to be played.
Since I have been saving up for my Legendary I have been hording all the T6 Materials I’ve collected over the past 3 months.
Until today I have an average of…about 70 per T6 Material. Bones and Dust being a lot more common, Blood and Fangs being rare.
That’s right, 3 months of frequent play….50% of which might have been dedicated to farming….and I’m only about 30% of the way there. That’s atrocious.
And this is just for one item. Forget about all the Ascended items you might want to craft.
Same here, 700 hours and I’m in the same boat, only have 40g of the 300+ I need and 80ish t6 mats. Really these requirements are ridiculous, and now legendary armor on top of that? I can see it taking 8-10 years for me to get everything. :/
Well I don’t know, a scavenger hunt doesn’t really sound legendary. :/
I was expecting that you would have to fill a panel of achievements (ala GW1 and HoM tier filling) in order to get a precursor, such as maxing out every slayer title to get a greatsword precursor, or maxing out explorer to get a staff, etc (except that hopefully some of the achievements would be toned down in the insane number of things you have to do to get them).
I don’t get it… wouldn’t you feel MORE left out if a one-time event dropped a cosmetic skin that you could NEVER get again instead of something that, however difficult, you could get in the game normally? I mean, you can trade in karka shells for the accessory, you can buy a twenty-slot bag on the trading post or craft one for yourself if you have the funding, you have a chance (even if it’s smaller than the odds of finding a shiny pokemon) to get a precursor off every mob in the game or you can save all your gold to buy them… Even if you missed out, it’s an attainable goal. A unique item that you can never get again? Now that would make me feel left out… not only would I not get to do the event, I’d also miss out on a really cool item I’ll never have a shot at again.
Just to give one example, the bag itself is worth 10 gold (not to mention its scarcity factor), 10 gold can be obtained by 10 hours of farming. Some people spent 3 seconds logging into alts and looting the chest to obtain 10 hours worth of time.
We are complaining about the time that we lost as players due to the unfair distribution of items. To be competitive with those who got rewards, I’ll now have to spend 20-30 hours of farming, not to mention those who got precursors.
No one likes their time being messed with, after all we only have 80ish years worth of it.
Plus it’s a Karka, you have to kill it twice in all reality, so you should get double the reward. Unless it doesn’t do the whole regenerate thingy, in which case whatever.
I just tank it with my pet/summon whenever I want the ori.
“Do you believe players should be immensely rewarded for being able to do the one time event?”
I was confused as to why this was not added to the survey. Like many have said. We did not have problems with the one time event being a one time event. We had problems because people were being rewarded some of the hardest to receive items in the game. Some people even received these multiple times. While others who had to work or did not live in the sweet spot time zones missed out and didn’t even get a chance. This was an important question which may result in misleading results, as some may say they don’t like one time events at all because of this.
This was the problem in my opinion too, huge reward for a one time event. I thought this event was going to be like all the previous one time events we’ve seen, something fun but not immensley game changing, well it was and we got kittened for not attending because we thought we could miss it and just watch it on YouTube later to get the full event.
The data is clear, and from my experience as well, the only time you make a profit salvaging items for ecto is when you use a BLSK. Any other time you will lose money unless you’re exceptionally lucky. The game is designed to make you a loser unless you pay real life money. So much for no advantage etc…
*Just salvaged 47 level 80 rares, half weapon half armor, got about 58 ectos out of it with BLSKs. I believe that would have been even less if we used regular kits, which in and of themselves are expensive enough as is.
Apparently people who have played this game for 5 hours get precursors, rather then me who’s been with GW2 since beta, every single weekend, then after that nearly every single day. I have a lot of hours and so much effort…nothing…
I’d rather see NO ONE getting the precursor, rather then some. We all (mostly) did the whole event and worked hard, stayed up for 3hours+ etc. Why do some get it and some not lol, so frustrating.
This, 700 hours in game and I’m still not even close to a precursor, done everything except for attend this event due to time constraints, and looks like I get kittened over again. :/
I got nothing because I couldn’t/didn’t want to attend. Looks like AN is discriminating again. I was expecting the event to be like Mad King or something, but noooo, this time they have to give significant rewards…
