Guild Wars 2

Well, sometimes I prefer setting my ingame status to invisible to avoid all sorts of annoying people and situations, but with introduction of this new “last online option” it became kind of weird. While I’m playing, everything is fine, it says that I’m offline, and that I was last online when I was actually last online, but as soon as I log out it will note that time (time of logging out), even though I never went online.

I hope my explanation was clear…

Can this be fixed please?

Hm…maybe you have some other birthday booster that I do not know of, but this is what mine reads:
“Double-click to gain a 24-hour buff that grants a 100% boost to magic find, karma gain, WvW rank gain, experience from kills, and gold from kills.”

It is not mentioned on birthday booster anything about sPvP ranks or experience gain, only for WvW. Did they mention somewhere that it whould work for sPvP too?

Amazing skill and nice video! I will run away if I see you somewhere on battlefield.

I’m from FSP and I’ve been trying to get a glimpse of them however tbey don’t even show up on OUR radar. They are invisible to us also. We’re trying our hardest to report them but it seems they have figured out god mode after all.

Apologies as we are all for fair competition, however it seems they have knowledge of an exploit nobody else does.

It’s nice to hear this! I was wondering how come that there was no reply from anyone from FSP in those previous threads. I hope this will be resolved as soon as possible!

Ben K.6238:

Cloak and Dagger, most likely. That’s not a cheat, they’re just using you to refresh stealth.

Nope, that’s not it. There are two players with perma stealth (thief and ele) trolling around. You can not see them at all, not even for a moment. They are even killing NPCs in our spawn base.

You can not target them, therefor no way to report them. Combat log says that damage was from “Unknown”…

There are already few threads about this issue (with video clips), but moderators are deleting them every now and then…

A lot of information is in here: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/WvW_Spring_Tournament_2014

This is great, exactly what I was looking for. But still, it’s kinda strange that they did not mention this in blog posts. Wiki pages are generated by users, as far as I know.
At least I hope that we will see some official tourney leaderboards after this first round.

Thanks again for sharing this wiki link with us… Cheers!

It is really strange that there is no explanation on how this tourney works, beside that info about new swiss-style matchups. No tourney leaderboards, nothing. Am I missing something here?

Based on latest WvW blog posts, you can not tell how servers are divided in leagues. We can only guess it is the same as last year’s tourney. That really looks unprofessional and halfbaked if you ask me…

I’ve heard some rumors that they are working on a new grandmaster trait called bearbow, granting bearbow rangers new F2 skill which will apply endless fear and cripple to up to 5 opponents while granting endless fury and 25 stacks of might to ranger and his bear friend. Those conditions/boons will be removed ONLY when all opponents are downed.

Seems fine to me!

Well, this is quite annoying. Most of the time I am just browsing these forums and when I have something to share, I would log in and post (don’t like to have my passwords saved or auto-fill option turned on).

But sometimes I can not even access forums without being logged in. Clearing cache/cookies will fix this issue, but still, it’s annoying since it is appearing almost every day.

Menzies The Heretic.3415:

Perhaps they could rearrange the titles like this:

Invader
Bronze invader
Silver invader
Golden invader

“A hundred levels later… " yay I’m finally a:

Scout
Bronze scout
Silver scout
etc..

Maybe it wasn’t clear enough from my first post, but this is what I was aiming for. It makes so much more sense than this current system.

MiLkZz.4789:

I got 205 ranks in 5 days with birthday boosters, they are insane.

Anyway, I first agreed with you OP. But I changed my mind. I am now rank 1500+ and you don’t do it for the name. You do it for the thing infront of it.

People don’t see invader/squire/legend, they see bronze/gold/platinum/mithril. So being gold ranked, people see way faster that I am high ranked. While it would be much harder to see with your method and let’s face it, we all like to have a big kitten.

So being in the bronze or gold tier is more rewarding than being an invader or legend.

Well, it really depends on how you see things. When I first joined I did not know how rank titles work, so I assumed that Champions or Legends are way higher than some Bronze Recruit
To my ears Diamond Recruit does not sound better than Legend in any way.

“and in a week I reached rank 151.”
..
…
….

WTF

WTF was my initial tought.. some people have too much time on theyr hand i guess..

Well, I was playing every night after work for few hours during peak times, only WvW. Once again, that’s really not important for this discussion…

That’s not the point of this post, and yes I did, with 3 birthday and few WvW XP boosters. Easy…

First of all I would like to say that I was trying to find some similar discussions, but I couldn’t find any, so I am opening a new thread. So I apologize in advance if there is already something similar.

I am fairly new to WvW, playing only for a week (after huge break) and in a week I reached rank 151.

I find it odd that you are starting as invader and then when you reach rank 120 you become LEGEND, and then at 150 you’re again poor invader, only difference is that you’re Bronze invader.

To me, this is really bad. Who would like to be an Invader after you were a legend.

My suggestion would be to reposition this titles so that we star as Invader, then move to Bronze invader, Silver, Gold and so on. This would make so much sense.

What do you think?

One more suggestion would be that you make this titles visible to everyone, not just to our enemies…

Sorry for my bad English, and sorry if I broke some forum rules by posting this here.

Go free tournaments! It’s not that hard as it seems. You’ll just need a bit of luck to avoid good teams. Sometimes you’ll win, sometimes lose. I’ve seen many r1-10 players in free tourneys these days.

I know it’s not that important if you win or lose hot-join match, but it’s really annoying when you have to change sides more than once in a single match.

Just few minutes ago I joined random hot-join server. First match and we had all 3 nods with score 140-14 and some players from other team quit at that point…so I picked “I’ll take my chances” and got transferred to another team.
Things were going pretty good and after we had score of 390-260 same thing happened…and again it transferred me to other group…in the end, we lost. This is not the first time that happen to me…it’s annoying really.

It would be great to limit number of transfers to ONE per player if he chooses “I’ll take my chances”. Seems fair.

You can switch teams only if there’s uneven number of players or unbalanced distribution of players…only then you can switch from the team with more to one with less players. If you have fast PC, you can also switch at the beginning of the match, before all players join in, but still, that’s not permanent solution…

I have rallied few times on Rock dog kill, as an ele, but it’s not always like that. Guess it’s random…strange.

I think that OP is not complaining about thiefs or mesmers in general. It’s annoying when you play 1v1 or 1v2 and doing great, and all of the sudden you’re dead…what happend? You’ve got backstabbed and died from 1 hit. After so much hard work it’s over just like that.

I really like that extra time after the match is over, because you can finish 1v1 fights you started before the “bell”. And as ashleydoll said, that means nothing…if you don’t want to fight, just ignore it and look at your stats …

Mostly i play Gw2 for in my free time for fun and relaxation, and certainly I’m not paid for that. If I want to be serious about gaming, I would join a team and do competitive tourneys. When there’s nothing serious about GW2 free tourneys i wouldn’t make such a fuzz about some afkers in pugs. You’ll lose that first fight (or maybe even win if other team is bad), and re-enter again.

It’s just a game after all. But i do agree that there should be some kind of punishment for paid tourneys once this becomes truly an e-sport.

But hey…this is just my opinion.

Personal life first man! It’s not like you lost some money or something because of him being AFK. People are AFK all the time when i do PUG tourneys, nothing new there. I guess you’re not playing pug tourneys for a long time….

17 mb patch isnt a big patch

Hm…65 or so, in my case…

Evan Lesh.3295:

I want to hop in and say that while this bug is proving near impossible to reproduce on our machines, we hope our fixes going out today will finally take care of it.

Let stealthed thief stomp you :P…

I was trying to understand this part “I can’t dodge” but still don’t get it. Is it that you can’t actually dodge (something wrong with mechanic), or you can’t dodge to avoid bleed condition being applied?
If it’s the first one, then maybe u spent your endurance, or you’re rooted, dazed etc…
If it’s the second one, as someone said, you can’t dodge those. Try to move from AoE bleed stacking fields, because those are just reapply those bleeds right after you remove those conditions.

One other thing…you asked how is that your bleeds don’t do as much damage is theirs do…you can also trait for +bleed duration and +bleed damage…

Project Shrine Maiden.9623:

temple of silent storm – thief stomped from stealth.

Same here, happened to me few times now. Dunno if that is just a coincidence, but it can be something about thief stomping…

What milo said. It’s a casual PvP experience, and really it doesn’t matter if someone leaves and if you get transfered from one team to another. I personally don’t care.

But for free tourneys they should do something about leavers and afk players. I don’t need to mention paid tourneys because those are 100% premades 95% of the time.

Maybe there is no stealth tracking mechanism because GW2 doesn’t need it. In every MMO i have played, stealth was permanent mechanism. Thiefs, burglars and rogues were always in stealth if they are not in combat, but as soon they join in fight, they are visible, and after that they have 1-2 HiPS skills to hide again permanently.
Here, most of the time you can see thiefs coming. The only real problem is that rendering problem, making some thiefs almost perma stealthed, but that’s so rare to come across.

Every 4 games? For me is almost every game…have to restart game every few minutes :S. Most annoying thing!!

Let me say this, and maybe then you’ll see it. It’s not about potions and theirs abilities, it’s about EXCLUSIVITY!! It’s like giving SOME players few more utility skills that they can use together with other utility skills, which means that some players are entitled with more very useful skills than others, and if you’re not willing to spend money, you fall short. This would make a huge difference in who is winning and who is loosing, besides skill ofc.

And I will say this again, all those in game abilities that come with runes, are there for everyone to use, and choose what suits theirs play style.

This is one of the worst ideas i have ever heard around here. And the argument that those skills are already there is just wrong!
Maybe to you, this seems like a small thing, but believe me, this would make a huge difference and I’m sure that something similar will never be implemented.

I’m coming from other f2p MMO where you can find this implementation with potions, and that is just killing the game for everyone else. Basically it turned that game into pay to win show, and that’s why I am not playing it anymore.

I don’t like that idea, let teams do the job. And about abusing spectator mode, easy fix is to make 1 min delay and it’s fixed . I never played LoL, but I think that’s what they did there.

@SecondtoNone you can do that in WvWvW….gain gold, earn XP and PvP…

Regarding sPvP…i really don’t mind getting glory (ranks) via hot-joins, and I really like that rewards are only cosmetic, even I personally don’t care about cosmetic stuff. You said that rank doesn’t mean anything, but why it should mean something else than showing ppl how many time are you spending playing sPvP. When they are done with implementing ladder system that will cover you competitive players to show your skill and stuff.
I am casual PvPer and I play just to enjoy and to learn something new, to evolve, to learn how to counter different professions and different builds, and I’ve been very successful by doing it so far.

Yep, i know it was like this from the beginning, but i feel it shouldn’t be this way. If it has to be this way and we need to wait some time to try to enter again, can we at least get the “Server full, please try again after 20s” message right away? It’s kinda stupid to wait there without any warning what’s going on.

I don’t know if anyone else finds this annoying, but I do. Almost every time when i try to enter one of the servers which is almost full 8-9/10 or 14-15/16 nothing happens (probably because that last place was taken just before i pressed the button to join in). Annoying thing is that you can’t join any other server immediately after that try, but you have to wait 20-25 seconds for error message to appear (telling you nothing important), and then you can try one more time to join some other server.

Not sure how hard should it be to fix this issue, but it would be great to get the pop up message “Sorry, server full” or something like that, so that we can join other game right away.

What they said! And yes, sometimes those people can be rude because they are trying to duel, but other people join in and start capping points or interrupting. That part is a bit annoying, but still, they should’ve asked politely…

I love sharks, especially when my team is holding the point :P, but hate them when opposite happens :P…

There is a limit, but not sure what’s the number. Guess 400 or something like that. There wasn’t any limit before, but people used that to farm points over and over, so Anet decided to make a glory limit per match.

I didn’t play for few days, and today i was in two tourneys. DCed so many times. Few times because endless loading screen after death, and many times because gw2.exe problem. Happened to my teammates also…

-Roughly for how many hours or day has this issue been affecting you?
It was for 6-7 hours during one day (15 days ago). Not counting missing chests soon after the launch when that was known issue.

-Roughly how many tournaments did you win(4th place or higher) during this time?
7-8

-Roughly what percentage of those tournament chests did you actually receive?
0%

-Do you happen to know if your roster teammates earned their reward chests?
Unfortunately not, all of those tournaments were PUGs. But many people from my server had same problems during that time.

-Do you play on a US or EU server?
EU – Gandara

Hundreds of same threads every day, same whining, every single day. Be patient guys, PvP blog is coming very soon, and most of our problems will be gone with updates after that.
IMO, the biggest problem atm is non-existing rating system for the game to be real e-sport (as promised) and maybe some rating related rewards (to keep people interested in playing game, besides fun).

Never got those chests! And yes, i know that if you lose 2nd round that you have to wait a while to get the chest, but this was not the case because I’ve won some tournaments, few 2nd places and few times we lost in the 2nd round. So once again, never got them.

This happened few times before, when game launched, but it was random thing (and it was known issue which was fixed soon). After that everything was fine until that day when I (and many others) didn’t get any chests.

So, it WAS a bug, definitely not an issue with 3rd or 4th place chests…

Is it really true that the Asus ones are quiet (when fans are running, under load)?

Mine is, but it gets little bit louder with time. All you have to do is dust your vents, and it will be as new in no time.

Don’t take me for granted, but I’m pretty sure that 670m can run GW2 on high settings with no glitches. I don’t have any experience with Sager laptops, but what I can say is that Asus G7x series are amazing IMO. I’ll buy it again in year or so, really happy with it.

Asus G73JH here, 2+ years old laptop (same as the one someone mentioned above), and it’s performing quite well, with no problems at all. Temperatures are normal, and i have 30-40 FPS regularly…

I would recommend you G7x series from Asus…it’s really great, with good dual fan system…

Same problem here with my guardian. I can’t be sure when this is happening, but it think it’s occurring mostly when i play against engineers. I can use my skills and everything, but I’m stuck in place and can’t unstuck. The only solution to unstuck is to use some leap skill (like no. 4 great-sword skill on guardian). This is so annoying :S…

Sometimes my character is stuck in a weird position, like in a middle of animation for skill that I started before i got stuck, and the solution is same…use leap skill to break it.

Ok…i’ve played with almost all classes in sPvP, and now I’m playing mostly with guard or elementalist, an i can say that i don’t have any problems with thiefs 1vs1, most of the time i will kill them. Easier with guard, but also not so hard with ele. But the problem is when there are 2 thiefs…that combo can kill me faster than any other combo, but I’m not complaining, it’s the way thiefs work, and they really don’t need so much nerfing (if any).

1) What exactly did you use? You should use armor token+free tourny token+ arcane silver+dust (this combination usually makes Armageddon stuff, but sometimes it doesn’t).

2) Not sure about that…mine is perfectly fine…

Same issue here, I’ve opened topic in sPVP section to ask if it is only me, or the issue is back. Missing 5-6 chests now.

Still don’t see any new reports of this issue…reported in game though…Just wanted to know if any1 else is having the same issue
