Guild Wars 2

Why spend money on upgrades when it will just get taken over with no defenders?

I dropped 1g on a tower other day and when it was taken, I was only one in there despite asking for help multiple times for 15 mins straight lol.

Really think that 3-4 day matches would suit Wv3 way better. If you will notice that after weekend, matches are mostly decided anyways. Rest week is a boring stompfest majority of the time.

I dread month long matches. You will have like couple days of fun, then a month of boredom. I really don’t look forward to that.

Make real Oceanic server sets and see what happens.

Thief or mesmer.

I have tried every other profession so far but I just can’t play them….asura elementalist is the best ever. Almost 700 hours on it so far….

Might not be super effective compared to other classes but I find other classes really boring and way to easy to play. As an ele, you really got to know your stuff to even be mediocre at it.

Also Ele gameplay is way way more complex and requires high APM which I feel really suits the Asuran nature.

Plus, I look like a pink colored bunny as I hop around like mad when comboing.

Culling will never go away.

I believe that if the person who placed the siege logs off: that has an effect and causes them to disappear. There is at least a 30 min, no man rule but I also think the creator logging off also does this. I have seen siege not even being manned for hours sticking around while others simply poof for no reason even if I had ‘refreshed’ them.

Lol, no. Unless ele is full out dps spec; you wont be taking out a treb in 60 secs. Even then I don’t think it’s possible. If you even breath on that DPS ele, they are dead meat since they will be super squishie anyways.

Like to point out that; it takes 4.5 secs of fully no interrupt channeling to cast MS, with an added 5 or so secs for it to even start dmging, and then a 30 sec cd thus disproving that claim all together. A single cast of MS will not take out a treb, no way.

This is only AoE I have that has the radius to even have a chance to hit siege on higher elevations unless they are dumb and put it near an edge; then I can use other AoEs. Not saying MS is weak, it’s only real redeeming thing about staff ele other than support however it has limitations that can be countered easily by placing siege correctly.

You can’t have any sort of balance if people can move at a moments notice.

This hopefulley will also start to promote actual server communities and pride which in most part GW2 does not really have all thanks to last two months of free, no limit transfers.

But w/e. 7 day limit is a good start. Now to go even further…lock out players from Wv3 for 1-2 weeks if they move at a bare minimum imo.

You can easily place siege out of range of meteor storm. I know this for a fact through much trial and error.

Yet mesmers serker clones can reach well beyond ele AoE and climb walls.

Meh, w/e. I will grudgingly accept that mesmer is the ultimate Wv3 class and move on. See ya!

2) I can agree. That or a 5 minute auto respawn at spawn point.

1) would be a heck no. This would further let the dominating team remain on top and make it even easier to lock underdog teams out of maps.

First thing I do when leaving a mesmer port is to dodge. That pretty much gets me out of any amount to AoE enemy happens to place on that port majority of the time. If its a little bit heavier in AoE, I might have to dodge twice. Oh noes!

Come to SoR. All we need is oceanics and or EU players to help fill a 8 hour void where we have like no one on.

I guess one could counter argue and say; EU people should move to NA servers.

If mesmer can’t actually get to a location themselves, their clones should not be able to get to areas not accessible by normal means. You don’t even have to target stuff for those serker clones to do it either. Just hug the wall, pop it, and then watch as they ginsu stuff up top.

@Ryu: yes, I can rain hell down on people…it can be effective. But if enemy has any clue, they will simply stack and mitigate everything I do easily. And then you point out that you needed many eles on a task force; not one so that really isn’t much of an arguement vs one class who has such power as an individual class like the mesmer.

One mesmer with a clue allows entire zergs to move around at will and due to rendering…that zerg is also invisible. They can move infinite amounts too.

Yet an ele can hit 5 targets max.

Ok.

Nope seen bigger which was around 20.

One major problems I have with this whole thing is that no OTHER class has abilities that can change the game in such a massive way.

Do you see people shouting “CHECK FOR WARRIORS!” when sweeping and objective?

No.

So, until other classes get an ability like “portals” which can change the game so much; nothing anyone says will change my opinion that mesmers are given way to much power to everyone else in Wv3.

Give my ele a game changer too pls.

All I know is the ten hours I play on SoR; I have the outmanned buff almost the entire time.

I still can’t understand why we did not get pushed out of EB this morning…we only had 10 people at one point. Well, time to sleep. SoS and IoJ have been double teaming us in EB for like 8 hours straight now…so tired.

wtb more oceanics

Better not be permanent; that thing is a work of art and the person(s) that made it should be given like an official award or something.

Since there is no /follow (far as I can tell), a multi boxer would have to use some sort of third party program with bot elements?

Ban em, imo.

+1

About time something was done about this particular issue. Now hackers will still have an impact (ie. killing siege) but not as game breaking as the orbs and giving over powered buffs to winning teams.

Take note, guild sites are favorite places to farm passwords for hackers since the majority have little to no security at all. If you are going to use these sites, then make sure all names/passwords/email accounts are totally different than your official GW account.

I have yet to meet a ‘dungeon master’ who is nice. Most are impatient, rude, and likes to yell alot. Maybe I am just lucky.

Here’s thing…50 kills in Wv3 takes like…1 hour max. Most cases, just one zerg v zerg battle. Easy.

Running this monthly dungeon takes considerably more hours worth of time.

Raise Wv3 kills to say 500 and then see how you like it.

Love dungeons, but not in this particular game. No trinity is the reason, so it ends up being a mindlessly chaotic GY zerg most of the time. Boring. Dungeons here are far from the calibre of say that other game so I really dunno what more I can say.

Will attempt this monthly, but I will certainly not enjoy it.

Going to be a totally miserable experience trying to knock this out. No pain, no gain I guess.

Time to annoy PvEers!

Here’s something I learned while tinkering on my bank guild: I log on my 5 different characters who are representing and guild gains 10 per. Now do this with a large guild every day…

Anyrate, do agree. Wish you could transfer the guild plus the upgrades but with a long CD on the transfer so you can’t move about all willy nilly like we can right now. I think this might be a sort of detremental part of transfering so you would think twice about it. Move to new server, lose all guild ups or stick it out on current server….that is the question.

Please, no more undead. I think 3 zones is enough, yes?

Could this be another real level 80 zone? WOOT if so.

Hopefulley, it isn’t all undead again….

I don’t bother reporting to much any more. No point, really, since it’s obvious to me nothings really changing on the bot culling front.

All you have to do is send a GM around and start banning. Bots are super easy to spot and frankly it’s just getting worse.

Don’t matter what detection they put in place: botters will patch and get around it.

Now if you actively police the game while inside it, maybe then things will improve. But if they are simply going by pure ‘reports’, then nothing is going to change. Bots can simply migrate around with free transfers and avoid being reported to much anyways.

Takes like 10 mins to get 50 kills if you are on a server with good zergs.

But I guess on plus side, you can gloat at making PvPers do dungeons now which will take much much longer to complete in comparison.

Hmm not home yet, they added dungeons to monthly? God, I don’t want to do dungeons at all. Really really detest them. Have not had one single good experience in them to this date.

We get the short end of the stick when it comes to armors in this game.

Take winged set, view on human; looks awsome and detailed right? Can swap the colors around to make it even more cool, right?

Well now try it on asuran; oops, it clips in two different spots. Oops it has 1/10th the pixels in detail, oh well. Opps, various pieces when dyed all the same, infact has different hues which makes it look wierd.

Sigh.

I hope that one day, their armor team decides to go over our gears and fix/make them better lookin. But probably not since majority play humans and thus Asurans are probably last on the list when they are prioritizing updates.

I play asura ele sadly, so that would be a nay on cool looking armors and weapons. They all look pretty awful in most part.

Btw, cultural armor cost gold. Lots and lots of gold that I don’t have.

So yea, no place to spend karma on still. W/e. I will use those jugs on alts I guess.

If you can remember to use 60+ hotkeys in that other game, you can be a gladiator. Here, it’s more simplistic but it all comes down to combinations of keys. In other MMOs you have a set rotation that almost never changes thus is not as deep as many like to tell you it is.

All I can say is GW2 combat is more akin to FPS with focus on fast paced battles which is fine by me.

Other MMOs is like playing in mud with dull, slow stand in one spot combat with severe button bloat just to make it seem like it’s super complex when it really isn’t; macros ftw!~

Try another class not thief, imo.

Easy mode class, is easy mode.

What do you even do with karma if you are not interested in legendaries anyways?

Almost 600,000 karma so far here and nothing to spend it on.

I think better healer to try is shout warrior who heals unlimited targets in a large area.

Way way better than ele if you want to ‘heal’.

Not that ele healin/support spec is not fun since that’s what I play….but….I expect major nerfs one day soon to healin on a whole.

Hate to say it…go back to those other games. I for one detest the hotkey bloat in those games and really like the fact that I don’t have to do this major keyboard olympics to get stuff done. Anyways, I play ele and I actively use 32 hotkeys, not including stuff like jump etc.

Personally, I think an MMO with over 30 mandatory (seperate) hotkeys does not neccesarily mean a better game.

Anyrate, most tend to use macros in other MMOs just to cut down the button bloat. So yea.

p.s. mains in game that ryhmes after cow for 7 years was druid with a bit of lock. Went back recently and noticed I had to bind 55-65 buttons; uninstalled 7 hours later. Enough is enough.

Miss it too. But I can’t go back to those other MMOs since most are either old and crummy looking or simply terrible (ie swtor). So have to wait and pray for a new MMO with good healing (and does not suck). Guess that might be years.

Going to have to agree with OP and all the other posts about asuran armor. The screen shots from DJRiful is a perfect example of what is wrong here.

You take a light armor set and show on a humanoid char: it looks incredibly detailed and awsome. Put it on an Asuran and it looks like a total joke. With all the clipping issues and lack luster armor ports to Asuran I can only come to the conclusion that they rushed this race to meet release date (?).

Out of all the sets, only one I can get to make my female asura look marginally passable is using the Winged set. Even then I get clipping issues with the back part of the leg armor. Now take that set, view it on a humanoid and see that it’s beautiful; it does not clip either for the most part. Clearly all armors are designed with human models first and foremost…

After thought race is after thought (?).

Hopefulley they fix us up better and bring us at least 1/2 the level of detail humaniods enjoy with their armor and weapons. /beg

As a side note, I have yet to see a staff or weapon other than maybe 2 hand swords that look decent on an Asura. They are all tiny and they all clip into armor as well. Every single one! I have to take off all my gear to even see 99% of them in preview. Ok…

Also like to mention that guild back packs are also one the worst offenders with clipping. Using my winged set; all I see of that pack is a whisker of my guild symbol. Suffice to say, my guild pack is always ‘hidden’.

We need some love here, I pray devs will fix some of this. First one I would do (biased!) is fixed the winged light armor pants back part b/c it would be really really nice if half of it wasn’t clipping.

p.s. yet another complaint I have is dyeing armors: even if you use the same set, the colors rarely if ever match up. It always looks mismatched. Hats are the worst and they are always one shade too dark. So many problems with asuran gears, yep…

Right now in Wv3, the popular tactic is to stack your entire group on one another.

This effectively nulls AoE on a whole due to 5 (random) target cap.

I severly doubt they intended for this to happen and did not factor in people would simply stack to abuse the cap. Or so I hope…

Raise cap to say 8 and test it. If it’s too much or to little; adjust accordingly.

Player AoE should be feared and not shrugged off like it is merely a mild distraction like it is right now.

Am I off my rocker here?

p.s. I expect this thread to be closed like all the others and given an infraction. /wait

Guess I am one only people here who has played other MMOs; majority have no cap on AoE. Staying in AoE in those games is generally a really really bad idea. You WILL die fast if you do.

But here in GW2, AoE is best countered by getting everyone to stand in it. That is wrong in my mind. AoE should be feared and not brushed off like it is now. Like to point out that other MMOs don’t have dodges which can negate dmg all together. Drop 40 players of AoE in one area and I can pretty much dodge 2x and come out totally unscaythed.

Yes siege can counter it, but zerg ball can just move out of range/LoS it easily enough. That’s if you have the supply to even build them in a spot where they can actually hit stuff and not get countered by AoE/enemy siege. On that note, it also seems lame that the only way to counter this is by spending gold vs people who spent none. Make sense? Not to me.

Imo, baby steps: raise AoE cap on certain abilities to 8 at the very least then see what happens.

As to mesmer ports: that needs a limit period. I would suggest 10 per port. Can still do port bombs but it will require multiple mesmers to coordinate if moving a zerg. Right now you only need one. This should not be a problem for all those ‘pro’ players out there saying it’s fine anyways, right? RIGHT?!!

3 has me grinning. Nothing like claiming something with my joke bank guild I made that has a pink heart/beaver on it. It’s quite imposing and strikes fear into our enemies! It has too!

note: I only do this if it does not really matter since I know for certian it’s going to be flipped 5 minutes later. Much prefer to have a real guild claim it and put up yummy buffs so I agree that there should be limits on who can take what.

You will have to contend with the fact that if you want to be on a server with lots of players for both PvE and PvP: will face a que time. It’s certainly better than getting spawn camped with no people to fight back. I don’t like it, personally, but this is what GW2 has turned into sadly.

Rankings are stickied and updated.

Also check the various VS threads in this section and see how things are going between all the servers.

CarelessKrow.8032:

A lot of their WvW guilds moved to other servers. Specifically, Blackgate/Sea of Sorrows

Correct, however many went to SBI, SoS, and JQ as well.

Heck a bunch went to Kaineng too lol.

It will be known as the…

HoD Effect.

Move to any of the contender servers while you can, imo, and start to enjoy Wv3 again. No one is going to go back to HoD after what happened to it. It’s like…cursed.

Last time I went to dungeon, it was one I had not been into. Had no idea were to go and even got lost once which one guy started yelling in all caps insulting me.

“KICK THIS NOOB! GOD HE’S SLOWING US DOWN!!!!:”. Yea ok. /quit group.

Everyone just wants a speed run it seems and people who have not done it before are actively discouraged from going. But I accept this b/c this is how it is in all MMOs now.

That pretty much applies to majority of items in this game: better to sell to vendor and not lose money posting.
