My fellow JQ server mates,

While you all did well today you have to remember that its not really a truly representative score as a many folks are travelling today.

Please show some class…..

Traveling for what? Is there another weird holiday going on this week or something?

Not sure! Today is National Pistachio Day and Tell a Fairy Tale Day though.

Fractals merchant or Laurel vendor. Interestingly there’s a new set: Precision/toughness/power (Precision being the main stat)

o.O…. they actually added knight’s gear ascended pieces…? gg 3.4k armor 3.1k attack 100% crit warrior lol.

“Queues do indeed behave in a strange manner. Unfortunately, I don’t have any more news about that as it does boil down to resources. It’s a fixable problem, but we need some time from a very specialized type of programmer for that job”

What? It’s just a simple queue. I don’t even…

Because it’s the closest thing we have to Realm vs Realm…. for now.

lol 90% of the time I roll out of Renewed Focus

I think Shelter was designed for WvW zerg fights. The amount of damage you block in a zerg ball is likely way higher than the signet can heal. It also serves as an OH CRAP button if you get out of position. Being feared out of the heal is pretty stupid though and should be fixed -.-

Agreed. ANet doesn’t want WvW to be competitive though… :/ which is lame.

Yes, culling has gotten far worse for the majority of players, but there is a small group that experiences better gameplay with the new culling system.

Nope, that’s their way of stealing your money… just like Microsoft and the Live points -.- Card for 800 or 1600 points… Game cost 801 points.

How are you keeping protection on your melee for most of the fight?

That’s my secret, Cap… I’m always angry.

Yea WvWers will mass exodus when ESO hits. WvW cannot be fixed because it was designed to be a casual gametype. It was not meant to be competitive, but that’s what the player base wants. We want competitive, mass PvP.

Hmmmm you should be able to condition cure out of Fear. Supposedly they fixed the Pure of Voice bug, but before-hand Hold the Line was one of the only shouts it worked with (I think).

Depends… If they’re using you as a back-up pusher, go Greatsword. If you’re dedicated support then stick with the hammer for water blasts

Did anybody else read this in the voice of Eduardo from Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends?

hmmm the stats you get from some of those items are only obtained via Ascended items. Yea I don’t know why they aren’t tradable, I have like 7 in my bank -.- All you can do is mystic forge or try to get ectos.

So after reading the past two pages the question becomes if SoR is so much better at PvP and open field why isn’t SoR winning?

Because this is coverage vs coverage, not GvG. Servers don’t get points in WvW from kills.

I think you missed the point, WvW it’s about capping :P he was being sarcastic, at least that’s what I think

I cap all day! Yolo Swaggins..!!

? Is somebody talking trash or sumthin? I can’t hear through these walls at JQ garrison.

Why wasn’t this stickied?

Don’t take WvW so seriously. It’s casual PvP that you can join at any time for fun. Nobody really wins since there is little to no skill involved. Yes, it had potential to be competitive, but ANet decided that was not what they wanted with WvW. Hopefully another franchise will take this idea and improve upon it.

We have a competitive community that wants a competitive realm vs realm – that will never happen in GW2.

I can understand lag in the full queue SM battles… but it never lagged like this on borderlands. Wouldn’t mind ANet experimenting with the map caps as long as we get a heads up lol (assuming that’s the issue).

Hmm…. The consumables are fun, but I kinda wish they would remove them all from WvW. I would rather them remove all the consumables than only removing a handful. Either remove them all, or leave them all.

They have different roles. Depends what your team needs atm – can’t really compare the two.

Do you know if all servers had queues on all maps? We had lag for the first 2 hours off and on.

Dang, old post o.o Reaper of Grenth is for push builds in WvW.

WvW is a casual game-type. It’s designed to be something you can just jump in and play, 24/7. ANet never intended for it to be competitive.. not sure why they added points. Either way, yes SoR has the best NA crew.

What is this reset lag? Did they try to stealth increase the map cap or something? Game plays fine, but as soon as 40+ gather it lags like a SM battle.

is this the most pages any match-up thread has reached?

I wonder what their reasoning was regarding the withheld stat sets. With the current Ascended stats there is no efficient way to gain healing power. I understand ANet is trying to remove pure healers, but traits and skills handle that – a healing power set simply allows for a better team-play build on certain classes.

As for the Knight’s gear.. I think ANet is trying to re-design where players get precision from. You can either have armor or you can have precision, but not both. With a full ascended knight’s set a player could obtain a large amount of attack, armor, and critical chance which would allow a player to be tanky while doing high DPS.

For now… it’s odd, but Exotic > Ascended for some builds o.O You COULD mix Ascended Soldier’s armor with Ascended Berserker’s trinkets… It’s almost the same as full knight’s, but gives more health, power, and crit damage in exchange for less armor and precision.

As an AH Guardian I’m not sure if I should even collect laurels since there’s no viable ascended set with healing

I think the SoR oceanics fizzled LOL.

I want nothing to do with this “new event”…!

Got an Abyss dye on launch – used it.

Got an Abyss dye on alt one month later – sold it for 4g.

So uh… you guys still playing the 2v1 drinking game? lmao

No, Stun Break does not break immobilize

So… any news on this? Will we see any new guild skins with Feb patch? Or reveal what the second tab is? I just noticed it takes Mystic Coins for currency.

“We have heard multiple reports for months about people being queued for a map and entering it only to have the outmanned buff, but unfortunately we’ve never been able to verify ways that could be occurring. I’m not saying it isn’t happening, but we haven’t ever been able to reproduce the problem, and if we can’t reproduce the core problem, it makes it basically impossible for us to find and fix the bug”

This is 22 days old tho :/

ANet replied to one thread stating they can’t replicate the issue

I think the problem is that the only way to counter a stability/invis hammer train is with a bigger hammer train.

Finally got to tier one… now we have to go through the whole process again. Yay..! Next 5 weeks will be so boring

dude what am i talking about haha. Yea Shelter doesn’t stop cond dmg. I get them mixed up, sorry

Shelter doesn’t block AoE. You can also walk through it with Stability. Shelter is kinda terribad for the CD.

Where is the Karma vendor who sells vit/pre/heal armor? I could use this one while I collect what I need for my knight armor

Thanks

It isn’t noticeable right now. The differences between exotic and ascended aren’t that big. The big difference will be if/when they add ascended armor and weapons. Even then there are still exotic set stats that aren’t available with ascended gear (Toughness/Power/Precision and Healing/Power/Toughness) so exotics still have their place (IMO)

1 million karma:

26g
7 minis
52 shards
2 warm potions

I hope so too. Maybe ANet is trying to lower the amount of precision in a build? I’ve thought about running P/V/T gear… it just doesn’t sound too great though. Less toughness, no crits, and only a little more health :/..

So… what’s the general direction regarding ascended gear? If we don’t switch to ascended then it’s like we’re running around in rares, but the ascended doesn’t offer Pow/Tough/Pre. Are we better off staying with exotics?

There’s no Tough/Pow/Pre or Heal/Pow/Tough ascended sets… so there’s still a slight use for JC.
