I wish these things came with stats on them instead of just skins.

Wow, true that. Let’s face it: Arenanet has a talent in finding talents. Art-wise this company was always beyond bliss, one of its best.

This for sure, very good artists there. I wish they were able to convert it into the game.

Focus is not very usefull when you fighting small groups. The warden is very easy to dodge and almost never connects. The duelist imo connects way more and when you immediately use magic bullet it almost never fails to hit. I’m talking wvw here. I have not tried the sword ofhand yet.

So i should RUN RUN RUN , get out of combat , switch weapons for necro ( OP-est class in game ) , RUN RUN RUN AGAIN after him with hammer axe+shield (will take some time ) and be careful at his weapons and ABOVE ALL THAT I WILL HAVE TROUBLE WITH THEM ? holy kitten !

You dont understand me , so i have to do another build for 1 kittening class ? thats pathetic !

Necro was using : axe/warhorn dagger/focus power build

You are literally just ranting and putting nothing of value into the conversation. I’m built 1 way, and only have trouble with amazingly well played mesmers, which is few and far between, necros can’t even touch me.

Like I said, post you build and stats and we can start from there, or just keep rambling incoherently, your choice.

I dont want to play hammer like all noobs out there sowy !

He tried to help you and you call him noob? afaik he has no problems with necros, but you do?

theodor.3480:

So far, from my point of view (casual wvw, nothing hardcore) i find this matchup way better than our previous one (AG/DZ for example). It’s true that i didn’t see any small BT/FOW groups (5 ppl tops), or the ones i saw were extremly rare, but the fights we had were pretty kitten fun.

It alwyas feels good to see that you have a 2vs1 ratio in a fight and you still win or kill half of them.

PS. I hope we get another matchup like this

I take that back, both bt and ros seem to like outnumbering 10-1, very skilled guys.

Why not use healing signet, that’s what comes to my mind

kkrzysiekk.9157:

yea Dragona i see You magic 40ppl zerg yesterday fight with grub and you lose t3 keep.
meyby you grup again and clear all maps wen you can bet as 2;1.
sry for my bad engilsh

Seriously? You are complaining about FoW zergs? I def. see them, no doubt there but I see only small RoS groups. I have not seen one small bt group, not one. Unless you call 20+ small.

No tengu, I do not want to be bigbird :/
I want them to surprise me with the next race, like nothing we have seen before. Maybe not from tyria even.

Well Anet does not want tanks in the game. That’s the shortest answer I guess.

Just a little clip to show how easy it is to apply confusion on a target while using the perplexity runes.

Please! Cap condition duration, stop putting all conditions on 1 ability, remove the AoE limit and add a cooldown to the perplexity runes. These changes would make me a much happier person…

Are you doing that a lot 2-1? Or was it just to prove a point or something.

Ascended gear right now is very alt unfriendly. It has nothing to do ith progression because the weapons are not needed in the game.

Ugly BiS weapons.

Transmutation Crystals.

Hmm…

Hah, i didnt think about it like this. But i thought designers do have some pride in their work.

Makes me wonder why there even is a search field in this forum.

They are easy xp for leveling chars though :/

So many people don’t know their lore

That’s not really the point of all this.

The fact is that the name “Guild Wars” is very misleading when the game does not have any wars between guilds in it.

Misleading product names are borderline illegal in most countries.

See what I mean…..this guy doesn’t know his lore either lol.

The Guild Wars was the name of an event in GW history that actually happened…has nothing to do with in-game guilds being able to fight.

I know where the name comes from lol.

It doesn’t change the fact the name is misleading lol.

Lol.

Please explain what is misleading about the game name, it’s very clear to me having played since the beginning of the original Guild Wars.

And you are conveniently ignoring that the original Guild Wars did indeed have GvG?

Also, you need to consider buyers that have not played the original Guild Wars. What do you think they expect in a game titled “Guild Wars 2”?

Sadly when I was playing Quake there were no actual quakes in it, I was buffled. Battlefield 3 didn’t have any combat on an actual Battlefield, you know big combat encounter, there was no big war in it. In Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction, players were fighting Bhaal, not Diablo, what a misleading title indeed.

A game title is a game title. I’m positive most people who ever ask for GvG or even think that the game should have it in, are GW1 players. I’m not saying GW2 shouldn’t have GvG, that’s a completely different discussion, this is only about the name. Players don’t (or shouldn’t) judge a game by it’s name.

That comparison does not make sense. There are in fact guilds in the game, so it’s not that wrong to expect a war between guilds.
In fact the lore for the game guild wars is just created to give name to the whole guild thing in gw1, so they could promote pvp and guild vs guild.

No idea, lots I guess.

Zariuss.2357:

I’ll just stick to the build I posted longer above Only question that remains is, what runes…

Traveller runes? Because you are the commander you don’t want to arrive last to a battle

Fungalfoot.7213:

This is quite possibly the dumbest post I’ve read to date.

No, Guild Wars 2 does not need more gated content. It needs less.

yeah agreed, time gated = bad.

But since you can create guilds, it would kinda make sense to have war between guilds.

And for others it comes down to protection from a deditaced protector/healer? It’s just the same when you break things down.

This weekend in wvw, we were defending Greenbriar and while being outnumbered slowly but surely were kicking them back to the beginning of the map.

Randulf.7614:

Have to say, this is an exciting patch. Harder bosses all round was unexpected

Love the wallpaper too!!

Wallpaper is nice yeah. And the harder bosses, I have to wait for more info about that. Hope it’s not just more health.

Yes I am bumping the tribal topics, are they reading the suggestion forum?

Since pve and wvw is much bigger than pvp, why not add these in the game already.

Since pve and wvw is much bigger than pvp, why not add these in the game already.

As long as it’s not against much smaller groups. Zerg vs zerg can be fun, small groups vs small groups way more.

Tom Gore.4035:

I loved it when ANet put living story achievements in OS. Oh the crushing of nubs and throwing them down the cliff when they FINALLY got through the arena. I still have probably 20 litres of tears stored in my cellar.

On another note, I’ve had some of my best duels in OS, too. And boy have I been showed my place in a few of them.

Lately it’s been more quiet there, but all the more reason to jump at every opportunity to crush the enemy. It’s such a cool place for PvP too, if you move around and don’t just camp the chokepoints (or just camp the start).

Well as long as you are having fun in your basement

/no
and this is for 15 chars.

For the zergs to split up you could use several commanders, but there is a need to make them show different colours or something similar. There are lots that just watch the blue icon on the map.

Well if it does come out, I will buy it in a matter of seconds. Bring it on.

Blacktide only zerg thier own BL if there is an enemy zerg on the map.

:D Hah that was funny, gimme some more.

Not sure what you are laughing akittens kitten frustrating for a defensive oriented player to see all his teammates get pulled of the map when enemy zerg moved away and no more towers to flip. Re-cap is the strategy of a common blacktider, and building treb infront of doors.

Well could be just during my playtime but I have seen not one small group of BT players. Even when BT tries to take greenbriar they come with big zergs. But remember big is relative, just comparing on what we have on the our BL.
I have seen many small groups from RoS taking supply camps, but so far none from BT.
But that’s no problem here, so far BT is giving us some great fights, by far the most fun setup in months.

Colours would make it a bit easier. Go red or blue needs help/people.

Greed. Pure and simple.

ESPECIALLY since it’s 1800 ($22.50)/1000 ($12.50)/500 ($6.25), forcing you to buy amounts of gems that they don’t actually sell (they only sell in batches of 800 ($10.00), 1600 ($20.00), 2800 ($35.00), 4000 ($50.00), and 8000 ($100.00) and only actually involves changing one or two values (home World and, sometimes, the World you’re guesting on) in the player’s profile and, assuming character data’s actually kept on the Worlds’ servers and not just on the central server used for logins and such, performing a data copy to the new World – tasks which would be trivial to automate (give me access to the code and I could do it in under 10 minutes, I bet).

Greed!?!

More like balance. Server hopping should be a no-no in WvWvW.

I prefer people hop servers over dead wvw servers

Hopping servers has turned out to be worse than dead wvw servers.

At least now you can choose between competitive zerg-servers and a more strategically oriented low-tier servers. The stable wvw environment is much better, compared to the bandwagony hopapalooza.

If I hear people on the top server waiting for hours in que, i’d transfer in a heartbeat to a lower one. kitten nus and league items but you can play.

Why do pve players benefit from wvw scores anyway. Or should you get more bonusses per rank in wvw? Not very alt friendly I know

Dragona.4062:

Our BL organisation is just insane atm, so don’t wonder if you get wiped taking camps. Thanks to all FoW’ers that are doing a nice job in our BL. Keep it UP.

Still fun those big battles. I prefer smaller ones but one major zerg against another looks so silly it’s fun.

That’s pretty good. Oh how I look forward to design a weapon/armor contest. If that ever happens.

Brew Pinch.5731:

I’ll just chime in to bump the thread and mention that I too am experiencing the error!

Good luck Cliff!

After getting 10k of error sms last night Cliff decided to call in sick today it seems.

If they up the drops somewhat, or somewhere else I would not mind one bit.

It’s pretty stupid I have to get runes and kitten my damage to be able to move like most others.

Isnt it time to put chests at the end of every JP? From memory I only know 2 that have no chest but still.

Tom Gore.4035:

Used to be much worse than that. Previously one step on a stairs height difference and you would miss with it. It still isn’t perfect and I wish I could jump from the battlements and hit ppl down there with the earthshaker, but I guess it will never happen.

That would look so awesome. =)

Yesterday after an evening of WvW I looked and my inventory wasnt even full. Half an hour later someone from my guild does his frostgorge loot in guild chat and how much gold he/she got from all of it. Skilless Farming >>>> wvw unfortunatly.

Daweed, I cant say I know what you are talking about. We were running almost outnumbered in our own BL during the weekend. There sometimes was some huge amount of BT players in BL so it might be someone called some guildies or EB people to com and fight.
We did have some huge fights yesterday in EB and both sides had some huge zergs, not RoS you guys seem to have smaller parties. I ran into some with a friend of mine, nice fights. I agree fow sometimes like to zerg where a much smaller party is way more efficient. Especially when RoS and BT are on our borderlands and RoS seems to be attacking when BT is zerging keeps.

Make them drops instead of badges and you might start getting some fresh players. Unless they are designed by the person who created the ascended GS.

Part 1: Is Ascended Gear Required?

First of all, there are people doing naked runs of dungeons (absolutely no armor, only weapons), there are people soloing AC/CM/TA at their intended levels, without access to Ascended or even Exotic items. I’ve seen a level 24 Necromancer doing 30+ fotm, it was fun and “unique”. Overall, Ascended gear, and really ANY type of gear isn’t required at all, provided you have enough skill to compensate for the lack of it. I doubt Ascended gear can make much of a difference in large scale WvW battles or sieges either, there are siege weapons to be used, and I’d take a properly built (skill-wise) team mate using greens (for example a support Guardian with a Staff) over a bs Thief in a large scale battle.

As I’ve said in multiple posts, if you are doing a variety things (like, everything in the game) you can get an Ascended Weapon without ever doing the same thing twice.

ascended gear kittens up wvw. it’s not debatable. if it was pve only, i wouldn’t probably care as much—i would simply not get the gear.

such stupidity. no, you’ll have to do the same thing twice, three times, or 10 times, or 500 times. think about all the combinations of stats. dumb. (and amount of weapons)

No it doesn’t. Ascended doesn’t make as much of a difference in large scale WvW battles, sure it affects roamers and duelers a lot, but not large scale combat. Profession/build matters, gear does not.

Ascended + the new bloodlust might just make a very big difference I think.
