While I don’t think that WvW equipment should be split off entirely from PvE, I would like to see a “WvW build” saved so that when you log into WvW it automatically swaps in your favourite WvW build and equipment so I don’t need to spend a couple of minutes each time changing my weapons, armor and traits. :P
Yes, but I don’t see how a WvW build save would work WITHOUT mirroring the PvP set up. It really needs its own system. Again, I think this would result in people that come to it staying longer, and even increase the draw to WvW.
He means for example: I have a power build for my guild raids (zerg-busting) and i have a condi build for my solo roaming, its a pain to have to switch out all the gear, traits, skills etc every time I switch ‘game mode’. It would be a cool (and a lot of wvw players agree) to be able to maybe save it as a tab on the equipment section of the hero panel ‘power’, ‘condi’ and with one click of a button switch build completely.
Difficult bit would be connecting it to inventory or bank, so the system checks you have that gear available to switch to.

Cos a fair amount of people like me find that one of the reasons we dont like spvp is because of the limit on gear customization n making theorycrafting a lot more limited etc. Well thats not the reason its not like that in the game but its probably a big reason no-ones asking for it.

Also, to be fair this is exactly what we asked for.. for any new changes to be tested for a couple of weeks or so rather than being implemented out of the blue, seriously its just a couple of weeks and we’ve been playing this game for a couple of years. Besides it’ll be nice to have a change for a while just to see how it turns out.

Lol I think you people are forgetting some things, PPK is an attempt at catering to people like myself who like to fight only, to feel their efforts are being recorded in the PPT. If it turns out that PPT still isnt a good representation of that, they will not stop fighting they will simply go back to not caring about PPT which was the case in the first place.

Wow they’re actually trying out points per kill, might come back to the game for a while for this. There’s an obvious problem with a blob tagging 1 guy and all getting points (hence points on stomp up until now) but even so this will definitely be fun even if it does promote unhonourable ganking.

Ok so I realize this thread is a bit old but I just could not resist the urge to spark it a bit further. Firstly I just want to know if anyone knows what the hell kind of advantage clicking can give anyone? I literally had to attempt to try it and it does nothing for you. Can anyone (shonuff aka fastcar) give the community insight as to the edge you get from this? Personally I think it boils down to never learning how to use a mouse and keyboard correctly while playing a game. Has he ever heard of a razor naga?
Secondly I think we are all aware that shonuff is fastcar or is promoting him to ignite community hype so that he can feel validated as an individual. These posts probably follow his yearly bouts of depression.
And lastly I would like to say that fastcar, from watching his vids, reading his post and comments is a very toxic player. Racist comments, constant insults, and a complete lack of transparency when divulging his build.
All I can say is that none of this is in the slightest impressive.
clicking has no advantage, dont degrade your skill

The Fastcar dude is a known troll on YB and no-one takes him seriously. He’s widely known to post on alt accounts/have shill accounts post threads like this purely to get people talking about him or his guild of, like, 3 people. He then “brags” about how good he is and how many people are complaining/talking about him when in reality it’s just him talking about himself or shill accounts as no-one else cares since he’s irrelevant. He must be really insecure or something, lol. He makes up all kinds of nonsense. Most people on YB just laugh/pity him as he’s been doing this for years.
The OP is yet another alt/shill account as someone said earlier. His earlier posting history is pretty much comprised of the same nonsense from a year back:
Either your matchup population is dead or you need to track better. Either focus on tracking roamers through watching sentries and camps being taken on the map (and how fast they are being taken) or intentionally take an obvious route when taking camps on an enemy border. Also lol get used to dying.

Ha ha, i thank you for all the advice but now i am only more confused (_)
I guess i might go for the basic Signet Warrior build Strategen suggested and then mod it a bit for evade. I wish to play group WvW.
And i still dont know how Signet Warrior works in gameplay terms. On that note, if warrior is not good for evasion-heavy play, shouldnt i go for another class? As i said in my original post, i am going for a new character, so any class is okay, except maybe elementalist and mesmer since they require complicated combos.
If i could know how Signet Warrior plays i could make a more informed decision. Is it evade-centric, or does it focus on absorbing damage and dishing out damage only evading to let auto regenerate kick-in? If i could tell the playstyle, i also could know how to edit.
But most importantly, say if i complete said build at Lvl 80, but dont like it, will i be able to easily change it or would i need to make new warrior? Switching equipment for build change if fine, but to go from lvl 1-80 again just to fine tune build would be too much. Is it possible to redistribute attributes?
Otokomae> That video was of a ranger or assassin, not a warrior.
If by group play, you mean a guild raid/gvg then im sorry but youre going to have to learn to fight under a lot of pressure. Builds can be changed at any time once youre 80 its just a matter of gold. The build will be provided by your guild’s theory crafter and it will have automatic condi clearing from melandru runes + lemongrass food. If you need extra evades that badly, the guild will get you to slap on a couple of sigil of energys, although remember you need to stick with the melee train rather than darting around or you die. However, healing will come from blasting waterfields and while you dont have to pull off the combos ele’s do, you need to follow a basic skill rotation.
Basically get to 80 on a warrior as soon as you can, join a zerg-busting wvw guild, get their build, join on ts and everything will come with experience of listening to them. Also ask question after question to the higher ups of the guild and maybe check out training videos on youtube, if its a good guild they might have some handy for you to watch.

You know, actually i think that provided you’re only into roaming, a ranger might be good for you because the weapon skills on shortbow are more of counter-play when a situation comes up (stun 5 or poison when they heal) and the rest of the fight is about kiting and positioning while autoattack continues to pewpew. They also have evades on weapons like the sword if i remember correctly (used to play condi/trap back in the day myself – shortbow+axe/torch) and can get high vigor(increases dodge uptime) uptime.
However, lol please realise that if you intend to get into a zerg-busting guild later, ranger will be completely useless for you and learning skill-rotation is a must but its even more important to be able to fight skillfully under pressure.

Golems, like flame rams need to be in melee, making them very vulnerable to siege disablers, and even 20 secs might be a bit too much.
Ever heard of Omega Golems and their 1500 attack range?
Yes! Should have commented on that aswell.
At only 1500 range, they can be disabled from within the keep as siege disablers have total range of 1200+450.
With perfect position you could place 6 to attack a wall, or 4(?) to attack a door with enough spacing to avoid the 900 diameter on the siege disabler to hit more than one omega golem. However, many locations have very limited positioning opportunities. Defenders can take this into account, by focusing pre-built defensive siege on the more exposed locations.
Last but not least, Omega golems are by far, the most expensive siege unit.
1200 + 225

yo guys, thought this might be a good place to confirm something: if i had a guard running hoelbrak and he used empowers on a nearby warr without any runes, would the might the warrior receives come along with the increased duration or would he have to be running hoelbrak himself?

Guys, it’s part of anet’s plan. They make the servers really really bad before the patch, then the “improvement” to the servers is putting them back to normal.

He has just gone full out tanky and healy and uses as many AoE effects as he can to get kills and to heal allies, is that so weird when zerging? I mean that this is not for 1v1 or havocing. The zerg does the damage for him.
combine that with the utilities he’s chosen and he might aswell just not press any keys which yes doesn’t seem to make a difference with his mindless blobbing of pve mobs but its a joke if he feels any sort of pride for it

The game is free, you don’t need to pay to log in again and find out yourself.
At least the community is still helpful!
helpful? lol I did for your own good, how can you trust on these troll posts, I say the game has changed a lot and Anet continue to support WvW, population has greatly increased.
Now another person come here and agrees with Lord Kuru and another one comes and agrees with me, how you gonna know whats the truth? “You” have to log in, play the game and find out what happened and what changed from the moment you left.
That word should be a give-away on how reliable his comments are, but seriously thiagoperne how much are anet paying you?

So funny to see the majority pointing warrior as the easiest class to play WvW with group/zerg while it’s the hardest of all, unless your only job is hitting #4 and #5 off-hand warhorn.
To play the warrior class as it was meant to be in WvW, you gonna need some serious practice that requires a long time to get used to, from placement on the field for damage to smartness for survivability, not even counting lots and lots of thoughts and tries to make the right build to combine damage/crit and defense.
The right choice for you Victor is Guardian staff/sword+shield or gs.

@non toxic
I’m going to laugh when , yes WHEN, the all the changes that people have been QQing about finally get released. The devs have stated multiple times that they have something in the works, but its not ready to go live yet. So unless they are straight up lying, which they have 0 reason to do so and in doing so would probably cost them their jobs, something IS coming. Its just not ready for launch.

play an elixir gun healing build. It works ok in zerg :P Though I have to say the 3 weapons it has are usually for defensive/escape purpose. Most people use kits and it makes it hard to control when the big fight starts and you can’t find your mouse pointer to swap kits XD
clicker ! :P

Just modify the current borderland maps! Change the design of the objectives. We’ll all be entertained for awhile at trying to figure out new ways to siege and counter-siege.

Slap on the false dichotomy label if you want since there’s always the option to whine. But since we’re talking facts and reality and such, it remains that you cannot do anything to morph the priorities of others to match your own hence my suggestion of getting in where you fit in. Negative impact on what exactly? Let me guess, PPT. You’re operating under the assumption that everybody should care about it and those who do are somehow more important and non PPT related activities are somehow less than. That’s your main gripe. I’m saying it again, it’s selfish and short of breaking the TOS, people can do whatever they want, you are no more important than the guys doing the Dolyak parade or the twelve people hanging around a box of fun while others duel nearby, please deal with that.
So your ok with a servers guild (some are 40+ raiding force guilds) hosting these PvP events on their own servers home map thus blocking the rest of the server from being able to play? Who’s being selfish now? I’m sure this was not the intention when this event occured and they probably would try it elsewhere if they could next time but who’s the one really being selfish?
What makes you more important or obliged to take up that spot? You could just as equally say one of those PPTers are hogging a spot in the queue that someone who wanted to participate in the GvG needs.

Nice post history. You’re LITERALLY the only one on your server at any time of the day? Funny, I took a few screenshots just recently. First pic was from a few minutes ago (10am server time, not our peak population, just in EB not the other maps). Second picture (if it shows up, forum is glitchy) is from oceanic last night (the least populated time zone for most gw2 players, and look at the minimap, we still had 20+). Sure are a lot of you if you’re the only one!
Check his post history folks, pretty clearly a troll and he’s clearly lying (take a look at the pics yourself lol). A few quotes from his post history (which extends to may the 29th):
I haven’t played GW2 in a while and only returned today. I noticed that everyone on my server has stopped playing WvW. I’m honestly the only one in there at any hour of the day.
Are there any servers that still care about WvW? Thanks.
Thanks for the quick answers. I really want to get back into this game but its so depressing how I am the only one on WvW (not even exaggerating, I was the only one!).
Just saying.. pretty sure that chat log says 10 PM ^^

The discussion was about whether it was 250 badges OR 200 tickets, or 250 badges AND 200 tickets, but that page devik linked confirms it I suppose.
I dont even get why people ever thought it could be just 250badges…
Because that would mean you could get mistforged for either 300 tickets, or 100 tickets + 250 badges. Hmm, should i get 1 mistforged weapon, or get 3 at the cost of an extra 750 badges (which im drowning in)?
No one would ever buy mistforged directly if you could just upgrade Hero to Mistforged for 250 badges and no tokens.
Yeah i agree lol the ‘discussion’ was pretty one-sided: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/221bt3/has_there_been_any_confirmation_whether_the_gift/
Personally I can’t imagine why people would go for the option of getting a hero’s weapon and paying extra badges + gold (10 piles of crystalline dust) just so that they can have the skin without the particle effects rather than be so patient as to wait till the next tournament and get the entire mistforged skin.

If i remember correctly, you are able to buy the hero’s weapon, mistforged hero’s weapon and gift of heroes from a vendor that will appear or something along those lines at the end of the tournament.
