Guild Wars 2

Alukah.2063:

“A new player joining GW2 in late 2014 would still be a good 6 months away from acquiring the base set of ascended gear”

Does it really take 6 months to craft all 6 pieces?

How long ago was it that ascended weapon crafting was put in the game? I have not been able to create one and still need around 50 lvls before I can even think about it. Now to create 18 weapons for all my chars is going to take a while. And 48 armor pieces to come with them. I doubt I can do this in 6 months

Electric x-mass trees.. Yep there i said it.

My eyes are bleeding from looking at those armors. Did they make them ugly on purpuse so people would not feel the need to get them asap???

Solstice.1097:

Why do PvE players need stat bonuses? It’s not like ANY PvE content is so hard that you’ll need it.

I dont know about that, i was spamming one for a good few hours, nearly had to press two…very stressful.

In frostgorge I accidentally hit skill 3, and was flooded with PM’s. HOW DO YOU DO THAT SKILL…. Hax…

What annoys me the most is that most of these new skills are created with the zerg in mind. Or am I getting paraniod here.

That would require alot from the AI in the game. I doubt guards can even be as good as even the biggest noob in the game right now.

Tonights fights in EB, much fun. It must have been lagging as hell for everyone with so many AG’s, Millers and GH there.

Jornophelanthas.1475:

The problem is not that ascended takes too long to get; the real problem was that exotics were far too easy to get.

I got my exotics from the tradepost, because sure as hell i dont get them as drops.

I have 8 professions, like many others here I guess. I have exactly one ascended weapon. Not because I crafted it, because I cannot. It was a lucky chest drop or else I would have none.
We do not make grindy games, it was so good to hear them say this.

Reesha.7901:

Oh yay – more ascended crafting….

Craft wars, omg how this game has fallen.

Time for the odd compliment then In our 2 weeks almost against miller I can say a lot about them. And I cant think of one thing bad, they played fair where they could have chosen to go against gunnars from 2 german sides and they sure as hell didnt.
With fun and good opponents in mind I match them the same as Vabbi. Great bunch of guys/girls who like to battle.

I found the sentries, spending supplies and demolition to be counterproductive in wvw. Nothing more annoying that seeing your little group stop to wait in a circle for the sentrie ap. Or blowing supplies on a gate that has 3 sup rams ramming into it.

Balance is also hard because of the national servers. That was a pretty bad decision but nothing can be done about that now.
I wonder what the dev team can come up with.

Izaya.2906:

I agree with the sentries and similar achievements just being useless grind/fluff.

Gotta disagree with capturing camp and cutting off supply by killing dollies though, those activities are alot more beneficial than the other stuff you grouped them with in your examples, specially for people who prefer to play solo/small scale and contribute to PPT.

Exactly, much more important and helpful than zerging towers.

Verdelet Arconia.6987:

Leaderboards has it benefits.

I’

Why I don’t bother with WVW.
Because winning in WVW is not a measure of skills nor tactics. It just means you have more players,more player coverage throughout the 1 week and more players who are not upscaled to lvl 80. Nothing glorious beating opponents with superior numbers/equipment/level. I rather beat my opponents with superior playing skills and tactics.

There it not a lot of skill in gathering/crafting/JP’s, champ slaying etc. either..

Amelia Knox.9362:

Ty Crow for the fights, you keep coming even if many will simple leave.

Last note, WHAT A LOL

Congrats on your group, evenhas a ranger in it. Very good.

How come people always bash on my ranger? xD I’ll put out there that players that know their class well enough to adapt on the fly can do just as good >.ob

Shahotinaro.9250:

Ty, ranger is pretty helpful, especially on Uncategorized Fractal, keeping the Raving Asura occupied.

Luckily i just happen to have been trying out my Beastmaster variant/hybrid build at the time. Didn’t know how effective it was as it was created an hour before we started.

on another note: Congratz to all the members involved in this achievement. The run wasn’t without pain and frustration. I think that’s what they call Agony!

4 THE [CORE]

Oh it wasnt meant to be a bash, just a well done and good to see that the random pug did not discriminate professions.

trooper.2650:

Gee… that’s some serious kicking. I would like to know how it feels to down people (many people, actually) in few seconds… it usually takes me much longer ok, I’m on a 20/20/30/0/0 power build with same weaponsets but different gear and my shatters don’t get even close to yours they tickle the enemy probably

I tried to look for the the video with the build and gear but couldn’t find it. Can anyone share it for me, please? Thank you

Look at Vash his channel on youtube, there is a vid. Only thing i didnt see or could not see well is what runes. But from the comments here I saw it was travellers because of the movement speed.

Had to think about this one for Necro:

Focused Rituals – Well skills use ground targeting.

With the new targeting system makes this kinda useless imo.

I get multiple a day. All from the same blabla bank with a special surprise. I hope they do not use hacked accounts because all of them go on report to be banned.

Ehm I beg to differ, there is nothing like the GW1 mesmer in gw2. Mesmer was quite possibly the strongest char in gw1 that could shutdown entire groups by being fast and with some good prediction. The shatter builds are powerfull but nothing like a shutdown mesmer in gw1. Pve/wvw point of view because I know kitten about pvp in gw2.

azizul.8469:

i’m forseeing many more people with guard leech and applied fortitude

Eh like everyone?

Nice vid, kitten nice doesnt even come close. Half the time I cant even see what the hell you just did.

Warthog.6870:

Split up into 4 new guilds and have halfway skilled people teach your mindless blob how to fight.

Thisssss, works much better than one blob. Imagine what 4 good communicating guilds can do to your map. They can own it all.

Deso played it smart and they won. They deserve congratulations without the whining on how they play. :/

I liked here at first. But that does not mean she has to be behind after every kitten thing in the game. What is she behind the fall of abbadon too?

You need a carrot on the stick, this game is probably not for you. Nothing wrong with that but I would stop playing if in such a short time of gameplay I get bored.

Cradorell.3941:

I don’t think you guys realize that a small group can wipe the blob of whichever server they are fighting as long as they use the correct strategy, and methods and clever movement etc. I would love to come over to NA servers and show you how to do this.

14v60? No problem

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Kk6b7F6Mc

drakkar lake most of the vid? That is one giant pve blob isnt it?

I would pay/buy gems to clone my current chars so I can create every profession for every situation. Without going though the whole 1-80 process again.

I would say use it for your necro. Much better for bringing condi damage.

yiishing.9057:

Line of Warding doesn’t require line of sight. So you can cast it behind gates by simply aiming through the small hole above the gates.

Someone at the guard forum explained it I think. tried it through the opening but it’s also how you set your camera according to someone on the forum.

That’s one thing I did not try I think. Thanks.

Silver.8023:

The only problem is that hammer is remarkably boring.

i’ts slow and some skills makes me wonder. One ring, one skill that launches your opponent. Looks fun but it hurts dps. And hammer 1 is just sooo…. sloooowww…

Congrats on your group, evenhas a ranger in it. Very good.

Merging servers is admitting that your game is failing, not going to happen.

TheGreatA.4192:

If you think there’s some kind of a gentleman’s pact going on in WvW then you are in for a disappointment.

Today on the Gunnars map it has been proved that there is at least some kind of gentleman’s agreement. Guilds like TUP and HoB haven’t interfered any guild fight and respected the joy of a challenging fight.

Thanks HoB and TUP for the fights and guilds like VcY, oO, Mya for not interfering.

Best regards.

I see you are from GD guild, they gave us quite a hard time yesterday.
I do have one question about your attack on some towers, I didnt know it was possible, but somehow your guardians made sure we could not reach the gate or the portal in a tower by casting line of warding inside the tower while you are outside.
Tried to reproduce this with some guards but we could not reproduce this, do you know how your guild did this?

Peetee.9406:

I would happily pay 5000 gems for a flag finisher with the word ‘buygate’ on it and a giant thumbs down.

:D On a serious note, guild specific stomps would be a nice gem item

Sorry I was not clear enough. Yesterday some guardians with a guild group were attacking a tower and we could not repair the gate because the constantly had line of warding up inside the tower while they were outside.
Everyone on the map was like how the hell do they do this. It was not close to the gate either, they sometimes even blocked the portal for going outside.

Lol of course all the people that lost are going to say that this season was kittenty.

It’s not the fact that they lost, it’s the fact that they had 0 chances of winning (or even improving upon their rank) no matter how hard they pulled together and fought due to awfully unbalanced matchups. The entire outcome of Season 1 was determined on the first day which makes the idea of a competitive season pointless.

This right here. There were a few upsets luckily (EB and YB forcing SBI into 3rd), but overall the season was pointless. Those with low coverage in Silver had no chance of winning, those with medium coverage had no chance of getting higher than 4th. Really no point in how they were set up.

In a perfect world, all the servers would have the same amount of people logging into WvWvW on every single server… But this simply is never going to happen.

Sucks that those at the bottom of their tiers never stood a chance, but there’s nothing that can be done about it.

In a perfect world a game designer would not be so reluctant to give the players exactly how the que and population works. Right now it’s bugged and therefore allows high population servers to have more players on a map than lower, while the lower has people in que. It’s insane how protective they are on how these numbers per map work.

Not surprised, the way the melee train now works in wvw it’s not very efficient to bring rangers :/

Gaiyeerishima Cat.1082:

Oh my god, reading this is depressing lol. You guys should not be trying to change one of the best elites in the game, for one of the strongest professions in the game. The dev is right, guards are more than usable in top tier pretty much anywhere, and if you don’t think that you must be pretty blind.

Please enlighten me how this is such a good skill?

Hi there, lately I have been seeing this skill used inside keeps and towers. I thought this was not possible.
Is this considered a bug or something else I am not seeing?

morrolan.9608:

Valik Shin.9027:

The q is not broken. Anet has said that it is not a linear q. It works as designed

Both Devon Carver and Mike Ferguson have admitted its bugged.

And it is, that must be one of the reasons they will not share population information. People of my server are currently in que for our BL and the other server have more people than us. It just makes no sense.

Ok here my armor ideas armor skin that not based off another mmo

Yes i can do this all day…….. Im a big concept art fan and a digital media and 3d animation student

Here some good links for ideas

Those have some awesome looking armour indeed.

huggles.5271:

Because it’s extremely powerful..?

It is? Hmm well whatever floats your boat. 2 whole seconds of invul yay.

Closest matchup since months.

Looks like Miller got some help or perhaps some old guilds/members coming back?
It looks like you want to go for the win or just kitten ed off you got last in the last week?

On the off chance that Devon is still reading this thread I’ll copy/paste my comment from another thread.

“All earned World XP on an account will be put into a single pool.”
I’m curious as to whether or not they’re going to include the WXP earned by characters that have been deleted.
For example, I had a level 80 human warrior that I played a bunch of WvW with but decided he looked terrible and much preferred the charr equivalent and created a new warrior. I just deleted the human just over a fortnight ago since he was just wasted space.
I’ll certainly feel slightly annoyed if his WXP didn’t count. But then again, it would technically be my fault for deleting him.
That said, I am definitely looking forward to this change. Might even put a little guard leech on my ranger… Sweet, sweet condition damage.

That is… a good question. I have deleted 2 level 80 characters not long ago, who had some ranks. Might be worth it.

wow. greedy much?

Hmm dunno seems like a valid question to me. They did say we never would see the acount bound wxp so what to do if you need the slots? :/

Everytime you touch it a kitten dies..

This is not the special olympics, not everyone is a winner here. Top servers, no matter how they won get the rewards.
I started on one of the lowest so I kinda expect nothing from this. I just hope Anet gets anough data to make some changes in the next league season for the better.
