Of course they are going to censor it, it would be bad marketing for their gem store escapades if players were made aware that they sold an item that that had infinite uses in one area that was made available for a small time frame only to find out that area isn’t coming back any time soon.
Those people must be absolutely thrilled to have a 600 gem space waster.
Sure posting on another avenue will lower your cahnce of geting infracted and having your post deleted or thread merged to be more conviently ignored, but at the same time its more worthless if a dev doesnt go there ( heck they barely visit these forums)
lulz people q_qing at the price for a worthless feature.
Thank for the video, I almost thought they cared about wvw with siege disabler.. than I heard " eject from one golem to go hope into another one" and the gem " use siege disabler on the 5 rams at the gate".
err what? its 45 secs not perminant. It also doesn’t say “only affects ac’s and catas”, so you could very well use a siege disabler on the attackers siege turning it in stragety. Last but most important part is whether or not it requires LOS or not. It most likely work like engi gernades posing a threat only to wall siege which will make it a non issue since they were susceptiable to aoe to begin with.
I personally am pretty pumped for this gadget mainly becuase of how many people will only fight under siege cover. Not every change needs to be viewed as end of the world ~ except when it comes to mesmer balancing, where every balance patch is a skill fact update ( Whooooaaa build diversity!!!!)
I am telling you after playing in T6/7 the past four months, after having played T1-3 since launch, there is actually more borderland activity in these tiers than there frequently is in the higher tiers.
The delusion amongst these low tier players is incredible.
Whenever a tier 2 server has the misfortune of facing a tier 1, it’s a massive stomp. And tier 2 is where the gvg guilds congregate, so it’s not for lack of skill that they are permanently pushed off their bl and into their corner of EBG.
Hell, if you check the scores this week, there are stomps in the lower tiers already forming.
You really think you can compare the activity level of a tier 6/7 server to tier 1? Lol, just lol.
He’s talking about NA prime dunce.
Because the likes of mag, sos, db, or fa do so well against servers like BG or TC during NA prime, right? The population difference is massive in every time zone, denying that is simply stupid.
Oh dear god this kid hasn’t seen the light of day outside running back to his blob.
Lol get carried by your population and coverage for the real delusion here, that ppt means anything more then a sign of population size
Maybe you should learn some reading comprehension.
Lol non reading comprehension allowed me to see that zen was making a point about activity OUTSIDE the Zerg. I’m actually rather surprise your smart self hasn’t evolved past the need for words and instead just wrote 11111 1111 1 111.
Mmm Incredibly imbalanced !!!!!! Then you look at server history to see the difference is only 30k lol T1 tears
Lol did le sexy dance of seduction for the “wvw team” to keep fa here.
FA doesn’t really seem like they want to go back to t2, they aren’t really ppting
Oh look! Its Chuckles alt account.
So close yet so extremely far away. 1 copy of gw2 is already too much
Don’t really think it counts as choosing since it’s rng, but got a rare cleric dagger of blood from the mf after I threw the all the tourney stuff.
9 bogus weeks for 36 silver, lol though the mf gave out better reward than the season chest. gg
Bwahahaha T1 tears are the best. But if we merge, where ever then will you run when you start to lose? No thanks I’ll pass before being associated with servers that go 2v1 on the basis of coverage issues meanwhile their off time would crush all other servers.
Disgusting
Edit: on a side note I wanna see another T1 implosion. Having too much fun with fa
Lol did le sexy dance of seduction for the “wvw team” to keep fa here.
FA doesn’t really seem like they want to go back to t2, they aren’t really ppting
LOL “FA success” Get rolled all season despite at the kitten talk, now buys the guilds they were battling that will leave at the 1st sign of failing.oh jes jes i cant wait. " well you see here…. we didnt want to be in silver league…. for a third time, but our guilds left us…. again
FA #1 Bandcamp central
lol actually ready the 2-3 sentence email that came with the 100 tickets, meh already chucked those mistforge kitten into the forge…. got back a cleric dagger of blood ( rare) …. go figure
I have seen some very effective mesmers… in the past atleast. I am talking mesmers that move their teams like an efficient machine from one point to another. I have seen a mesmer both fire the treb and manage to keep the treb up almost instantly by using their port to get the repair done in no time. They have a pretty effective use if the player is effective.
So mesmers primary role is…….is to be a taxi cab >.> sooooooo intense !!!!!!!!!!!
With philosophy like this, I can’t wait for tol#2 watch the intensity of intense bunker battles. If you thought last tourney final match was intense then you are in for a intense recall because this time around it’s going to be more intense the the 15 min round intense round can hold. Intense!!!!!!
All is forever in vain
Wow people actually have trouble with asc mats lol. I don’t champ train, wvw Zerg or try for them yet still manage at least 2 stacks of all 3 a day in the limited time that I play. It needs to be nerfed more as I’m still annoyed at having to repeatedly throw it away to make room for spikes. It’s literally shoveled into your inventory on a nonstop basis
Lulz best $150 you ever spent….. Then you realize you could of gotten into the Russian version for free. You want something to be changed in gw2 ? Put it a cdi thread where it can be condensely ignored.
Graphics don’t make a game outside the same old sport games.
Open world pvp mmmmm can’t wait <3
lol after buying guilds fa is finally ready to stop being salty <3
Do the truffle shuffle and might take you cerealiously
(edited by echo.2053)
Long story short FA tanks for leagues but this time got outplayed by Anet – GG
Lulz Fa is the home base for the bandwagoners.
Yeah we all know YB would put out regardless what it was for, but why would I ask Yb?
Oh? mind explaining what happened during season 1? * gets popcorn dis should be gud*
Yes now that the carrot in front of hod’s face, now fa gains sudden skill. Fa is going to be that server that bounces back and forth between T2/T3
LOL it becomes senseless rambling that when it comes to the things that you don’t want to admit, that your a ppt machine at the mercy of the puggles. Remind me again what happened to sor and mag when they were only in it for the fights, i seem to have drawn a blank.
yeah the 2v1 part is a weird rant because Im confused as why you even brought that up. The put in better terms the T1 servers can 2v1 because they don’t have to worry about in a server with a larger population/better coverage.
k with that in mind hypothetically if mag and db/fa/whatever were to 2v1 sos, what purpose would that really serve? If they didn’t work together they wouldn’t be able to beat you, geeez that sounds like fun or better yet they would risk getting thrown into a T1 match up. Fa or DB or Mag vs 2 t1 servers— what do you think such outcome would be? Thats the same concept for each tier down.
Careful life outside protection of your population/coverage is a scurry place
Oh wow the way you were defending fa’s honor had me fooled.
Yes, you’re right kitten all have something in common, the top server in each tier has more population or coverage or both than the other 2. That’s what the server ranking is based off in GW2. That doesn’t mean it’s a problem in every tier.
And yet every tier below is an exact mirror of tier 2, tell more how they should care solely for this 1 tier. For GvG? Tell me more how its such a thriving scene. Yet here you are complaining about match staleness.
- SOS could start coming 6th and it wouldn’t matter, as long as it isn’t enough to drop to T3 siege wars, in which case we’d PPT focus and be right back up there. *
BWHAHAHAHAHA who are you trying to fool? The moment you stop producing ppt, people will leave you and youll lose your edge over the next server. Surprise!!! your viewed nothing more then a simple tool. This has been seen in Sor, Fa, etc.
Lol using T1 disgrace as reason to 2v1, I dont care one way or another about ppt but what purpose would that really serve? So next week you can face off with 2 even more populated/covered servers, something the T1 servers dont have to worry about. Bag of nasties.
Lol stillll blaming db for tanking in to silver league… Again.
The rating of the beginning week prior to seasons:
Mag 1878
Fa 1873
When it comes down to the wire fa chokes
Gets super soaker salty and claims #‘s despite their season 1 performance as well as wiping any season 2 matchup that didn’t include hod.
Now fa gets some numbers back, suddenly tier higher skill lolololol
You actually have me curious how season 3 when your back again in silver league despite this tier 2 skill
Tier 2 has the same problem as tier 3 as tier 4, as tier 5 and so on
The differences as fa has been so nice to say is #’s
Hypothesis:
- Even if HoD “stuck together”, it would of been demolished in T2 by SOS and Mag, the server would split after being demoralized because band wagons are fragile by nature.- That and HoD would have to adjust to how T2 operates, being a band wagon server, it wouldn’t adjust. The players from lower tiers would pretty much be like “wtf is this?” and leave.
_______________FA as a server knows what to expect in T2 and can enjoy/deal with what goes on there. (less siege more fight)
Ohhh wow I thought the op denial was strong but kitten you take the carrot.
Lulz fa is a server that can hold it’s own in t2, but when faced with a bloated t6 server they got absolutely destroyed. Oh god this delusional top tier skill brings tears to my eyes.
Woe oh woe is t2. Lol after being in t2 for however long, what were you expecting was going to happen when you guys transferred off fa to sos?
You may think w/e tier your on is special but it’s not, every tier lower experiences the same thing. One sever completely dominates one week, goes up a tier only to get kitten on then. The system works fine, this is the aftermath of people gaming the system by stacking servers to have 24/7 coverage as if it were a life or death situation rather then a simple video game.
If you want more even match ups, start a movement of transfers to balance population out…. Else wise I guess you could say put on sunglasses HOPE is fading ….. Yeaaaaaahhhhhhhh
and how about on/off pvp mode on your player in pve zone?
While that would make world bosses more interesting then " stack here and spam 1" however in itself it has major flaws.
For example we all know how much fun it is to fight outnumbered only to watch them get rezzed as you avoid getting killed. Now imagine the person resurrecting being invincible to you.
Next what motive is there? Solo roaming in wvw is nearly nonexistent
You can do a mission with another guild at the same time. My guild did a rush with another guild, mission with 2 other guilds one that join at the end and still all got credit.
Pvp mode in pve lol, they wouldn’t dare do that, besides it’d only make it zergier as people get scurred to wander off on their own.
I know I can’t wait for AA either, it’s gonna be amazballs
Bwhahaha a sub fee would suddenly make this game better, yet here you are playing Gw2 instead of sub fee wow.
*in cool announcer voice * For only 39.99 a month each month you’ll receive a randomly chosen booster. You’ll also get a sweet 20% off store items after we jack prices up 40%. After 7 months you’ll maybe receive a newly old reskinned weapon with FLAMMMMMMES ( .000001 % chance account bound). Gw2 subscription- louder, uncut , raw , fireworks , explosions, popcorn
Wow you guys are still getting outplayed lol. Have to be new to wvw, you’d know there is no wvw team
Complainception when you make a complaint thread complaining about more complaint threads. #1st
Fixed an issue preventing some players from purchasing gems using PayPal.
Its a good thing they are on top of bugs as quickly as possiable….
All servers with a lower rank and higher transfer price are at a disadvantage when competing for transfers post season due to tournament pricing still being in place.
Since you named HoD as a server FA is unable to stomp “single handily”, they make a perfect example. HoD has a transfer price of 1000 gems while FA costs more than double that to transfer to. And it’s the same situation for a few servers lower in rank to FA, SBI if I recall correctly. SBI can single-handedly stomp servers lower in rank to itself too. Transfers to SBI are discouraged because HoD only costs 1000 gems to transfer to. Are you trying to say that’s fair? It seems at this point that you are just arguing for the sake of arguing.
BTW, there is no gold, silver, bronze league anymore. The tournament is over.
There your both at 1800 gems now, satisfied?
Obviously the tournament is over, the point that you….missed, was to pick out two servers within a respective range hence why i was having you pick from the silver league, that would give you a practical run for your money…… clearly none of them jumped out at you without having to have hod on the map.
#falyfe – we get beat by 1 our of 8 servers meaning we lowest tier server – demand free transferrs
LOL devs made a joooke " World vs. World team" what team?
which servers would have provided FA a relatively close match up that would be down to the wire at the end?
Again, that’s not what this thread is about. It’s about the tournament pricing not ending at the end of the tournament, May 30th, like Anet said, and the unfair effect is has on servers post-season.
Again you dodge the question missing its point. You claim that your at disadvantage when it comes to transfers, yet you can single handily stomp any combination of silver league servers minus hod. How is it not fair that you should have a higher price?
I dont think you quite how the world rank is these days, its a show population and coverage. nothing more nothing less.
You got me there, I can not argue that in good faith mainly because I’ve been against the tournaments since day 1 of tournament 1. The ONLY thing they do is encourage stacking stacking and more stacking.
You use this word “unfair” but I don’t think you fully understand its meaning. Using silver league servers and excluding hod, which servers would have provided FA a relatively close match up that would be down to the wire at the end? I bet that match up would still be fa winning by a minimum of 60k, yet its unfair for you to have a high transfer cost.
You have a better way to put an end to bandwagonning, since they clearly won’t stop this season bs?
LOL ok echo. Believe what you want because it is clear that you ran out of an argument against the original post a few posts ago. If it wasn’t me posting this, it would be someone else on a server in the same situation posting the same sentiment.
What you can’t claim that you would of made this thread if FA had swept again this season? Hmmm who could of guessed that. Go ahead and link your thread from last season post tournament. Im curious how hard you were willing to argue gem pricing then.
Lol Chaba, fa is no where near the point of remotely being considered a " lower tier".
That’s a moot point that has little to do with pointing out that Anet not immediately removing the tournament prices after the tournament is over when the competition for transfers is highest unfairly punishes all servers affected by it.
LOL its funny how it suddenly becomes a moot point after tourney is over and now your “suddenly” wanting to go back to t2. tanking this time around didnt work out, guess you can try for bronze in season 3
Yes really what you say about FA’s rank/tier is a moot point because my main argument holds true for other servers in the same situation. Deal with it.
Oh? had you swept this season like last season, would you still have made this thread? Its a moot point because for months the gem prices have been low for the lower tier servers, yet its been the same exact thing day in day out. Now your just salty after coming into the tourney expecting to pick apart the hod bandwagon, only to get wiped clean each and every match up against them.
Lol Chaba, fa is no where near the point of remotely being considered a " lower tier".

Bandwagoneers deserve to to get burned by spiked gems prices, the offer was too good to be true if you werent planning on transferring long term, thus pay the price. simple as that
Huh must of missed that lecture, prolly in some soccer class, can’t be bothered with that nonsense.
Work for a shiny? Bwahaha what utter nonsense. Should change that to bandwagon for shiny. With one exception due to a a 2v1 every league in both na and eu was swept away. I can’t imagine why the hate on tournaments …..
My issue is that the last week before the tourney, Dragonbrand made gold.
We barely belonged there. But that’s fine, someone has to be at the bottom. But as a reward for getting gold tier, we got ZERO shiny weapons, instead of the two we probably would have gotten in silver tier. And they teased us with 275 tickets, just 25 shy of our weapon.
That’s a problem.
Lol db
you got exactly what you deserved and asked for. You were forewarned not to take advantage of falling sor rank, the 400k point you earned each week at our matchup proved that you did not care.
Don’t start getting salty now that you realized that you would of gotten better rewards for to do worse. Oh btw how did you you guys do in the tourney, curious if it came out remotely even close to my prediction that you’d get slaughtered in gold
The daggers prolly so that I can gamble them in the mf for funzies, if by some. Vance I can’t do that or salvage them, I’ll just chuck them
Lol Chaba, fa is no where near the point of remotely being considered a " lower tier". The ONLY reason you guys are the tier now is because fa worked so hard to get 3rd place for a repeat of the 1st season.
I love the saying " incentive to transfer to a lower tier server". Since gem transfer started the actual lower tier server transfer cost was lower. No real population shift.
They gave free transfer this time as an in “incentive” for population spread, end result mass people flocked to 2 servers to game the rewards. They by all means deserve to get burned on the way back. I’m saddened that it is only 2x cost, I was hoping a minimum of 3x
The answer is quite simple. They increased prices to stop the mass bandwagoning , that destroys wvw. Hopefully your at somewhat peace with whatever is making you think about transferring . Don’t foresee it going down. Too much money to be made off the bandwagoners who can’t get along outside tournament rewards
Confusion Mesmer is confused! It hurt itself in its confusion ( sorry couldn’t resist )
Could you link what build you were thinking using. Also whether your roaming or zerging.
Yeah you could get away using dire, even dire plus rabid combo. But effectiveness could be limited depending on traits
The current method they are using is just censoring the forums and hoping enough people report to reach the auto suspend limit, saying job well done.
In reality if they set up an auto suspend filter that works similar to how an antivirus works since it’s a bot that doesn’t cater each message differently. You start with discrete variables such as the website plus xgold, stuff the normal public doesn’t say on a normal basis. Sure the seller through trial and error would obfuscate the selected variable through means such as using (dot) com instead of .com or 3 instead of an e. Through normal user reporting the new alt message would be then added to the list. This process would continue until A. The message becomes so obscure that the normal user just thinks it’s symbol spam or b. all alt forms of said website is on the list forcing a domain name change just to start the process anew
Thanks. But i like my armor. @arenanet can you guys fix this bug already.
There are more important things and in no way they must “fix it already”.
Agreed.
We only get a extremely limited attention for big fixes. I’d rather them fix an actual game breaking bug like perma self immobilize after teleport then to waste time fiddling with a visual bug that only yourself and maybe a few teammates will see for 3 secs.
If for some reason you still find this bug to be unbearable, please feel free to add it the current Menander bug list which you can find here
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Mesmer-s-Bugged-Skills-Not-Updated-Anymore
I’m sure they will get to it in a quick and efficient manner
Burnt out or just over it, I can’t say for certain. Though after Season one, I and many others, expressed a desire to never see a season 2. Now before even Season 2 ends, I’m hoping to not see a season 3.
Already taking proactive steps to make sure I never see the daylight of season 3. I have had more then a fair share of DEVious vision of balance ( lol see what I did there ). The blindfolded rotating dartboard of balance is too op for me. I feel straight up grimey running around with my +1000 healing power on interrupt knowing that the fools on the receiving end never stood a chance against such awe inspiring devastation.
I wish I could give w/e reward thing I may get ( I don’t really know nor really care if I qualified for this tourney reward thing) to a player on a lower coverage server who may have wanted it but didn’t want to leave friends, because rewarding coverage is clearly the best way to solve the player made gaps
Knew it was too good to be true, prepare for the return of scarlet briar

lol lockdown mesmer, a war with a hammer can do that role far superiorly and have better survivability
Hammer warriors are predictable and easily countered by stability and protection. A well played lock-down / boon-shatter mesmer is not, has good range pressure and a well rounded mix of hard- and soft-CC and at least one instant interrupt and invulnerability (with IP).
I also think mesmers – if played correctly – have far superior survivability compared to warriors in team fights. That’s just my experience from extensive roaming (2-5 vs eq). YMMV.
Counter with stability, you spiked my interest there….where is this mesmer getting his stability? I seriously doubt his is carrying Moc ( mesmers only form of stabilty) for 2 secs of stab. If your saying he is getting it from an outside source well duh, any fight is made easy when you have a buff machine pumping out buffs, that doesnt make a class more viable.
war hammer stuns have a cd of 10-30 secs, while mesmer interrupts have an avg of 25 sec cds making it more important that a lockdown mesmer not to miss.. stability and endure pain counters stuns too. If the war does mess up he has a high hp pool, an uninterruptable heal, dogged march and cleasing ire to deal with cripples and immobilize. They can take lemongrass and melandru runes without a need to worry about reduced damage. keep in mind this entire time ive only been mentioning hammer skills, havent even mentioned what their secondary weapon set could be as well as including bulls rush into the fray.
i mostly solo roam, as a mesmer
“Mesmers are in a good place but their builds aren’t that efficient” so why play mesmer?
bro our teammates already make up our lacking area which is running into multiples with our majority 1 target skills. Clearly you choose ele, guard and teef because you know how insane op damaging time warp, veil, and portal are.
lol lockdown mesmer, a war with a hammer can do that role far superiorly and have better survivability
ohhh come on guys play nice.
At the current rate, they will break double digits by the end so see not everything is half empty
Imbued diversion is bad, even with 6 points in shred diversion still has a 34 sec cooldown and thats hoping your clones make it through aoe.
in small groups and solo, interrupt has some potential, but its just silly unless you want a challenge. why? Hammer warriors outclass by a mile. even untraited has faster recharge then mesmers avg 25 sec interrupt skill recharge on top of higher survivablity via hp pool and armor.
Pb was fine before just needed to not affect revive/finish. Now it’s cs over pb, but still even choose ci over both of them for added control due to long cool downs on interrupts.
Bountiful disillusionment – garbage. You can get all the buffs it gives through minor traits on minor traits
Disrupters stustainment – logic on this was simple, we didn’t have a lol trait in the gm section.
Maim the the disillusioned – its an ok trait.
A bit unfair aren’t we? In order follows my disagreements.
- Too many skills drowned GW1 into an unbelievable imbalanceble game, not making that mistake again is good thing in GW2.
- New or already existing weapons being granted to other professions is something under work for a long time, the problem is, as always, balance it.
- And in does, KH is for ever changed in a huge way by the events there, LA is another map that most likely will never be the same again, and evidence of everything else can be found around world, right down to the remains of the thumpers across all the maps.
- Theres no gear treadmill on GW2, which is a VERY good thing, but some people like it (like you apparently) and for those Anet has a very clever solution, Fractals and Agony Resistance.
Its something you can work for to get higher and higher to partake in more and more difficult fractals, but at the same time its a stat that won’t affect WvW so everyone can be in a fairly equal ground.
Ultimately, it was always said that GW2 would be about cosmetic, not stats.
- There’s not much to complain here, LS metas for example can be done in 1 or 2 days, what do people expect from that loot chest really? And even a very casual player can do it in less than a week, thanks to the way their achievements are granted anyone can do it, again, what to expect loot wise? Couple of legendaries?
A dungeon path will take about 15~20 minutes, it will give several blue/green items that can be sell or salvaged, a few champ boxes with even more goodies, guarantee gold and tokens to buy exotic lvl 80 gear, again, what else woukd you expect?
- Buys are 100% volunteer, the game doesn’t charge a sub fee and thru LS it delivered (for free, mind you) more than enough content that in any other MMO would have been packed in a paid expansion pack.
Releasing cosmetics on the gem store is NOT a big deal, and a company that allows you to EASILY buy those with in game gold can be called anything but greedy, or after a quick buck.
- Anet doesn’t rig matches, they’ve actually been working hard changing several times the way match ups work trying to hit a sweet spot.
The reason why match ups can become predictable is because of players transfering in great numbers to what ever server happened to be strong already, does making it even stronger and with better coverage.
A gem fee was pretty much all anet could do to try to ease this problem, but again, it’s the players actions/mentally that cause this problem.
- Before anything you aren’t placing any real money bets (unless you want to) so that whole gamble dies on the beach.
The problem is these “cool” (guessing legendaries, that honestly most just look silly, but thats a different argument) items need to be rare, by their very nature if they aren’t rare they aren’t worth it.
And because something can only be rare if there aren’t very many of it, that means NOT EVERYONE can have it, how do you screen out people? By having a low drop rates. Low drop rate on mats, clovers and the all important precursor.
Now is the part where you say “make it a challenge” and I reply getting the badges fighting was challenging, but people lol’d at that and farmed JP’s instead, just as an example.
You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means. No game is ever going to be perfectly balanced. Gw1 may have had skill imbalance from time to time but it beat the class imbalances that gw2 has. Nothing thrills me more then the fact that hambow war can outperform an interrupt Mesmer with little effort, why? Balance
The 3-4 builds per a profession compared to the number of traits…… It blows my mind with all the space for activities I can do / sarcasm
While both gw games don’t have a required gear tread mill, they failed to have what gw1 had. In gw1 you did frost maw for a chance to get silver wing bow or bone cage scythe, it gave an actual reason to do the dungeon since it was the only place outside player trade to get those weapons. In gw2 you can get nearly every weapon skin from any mob, thus they are all generally 1 gold.
Releasing gemstore only skins isn’t a deal. Releasing reskined skins with only flames or mist effect is a different story. The other issue left a bitter taste was the fused weapon, sorry but you can’t in good faith say that was not a a straight up money grab. Sure you can argue the moot point that you can transfer gold to gems, but keep in mind who controls the ratio.
