Guild Wars 2

Good luck getting an answer. The classic “We have plans to do this, but we cant tell you any details” anet response might be incoming though.

Heavens Brethren.6471:

Congrats JQ for maintaining first place by being the lead server in a two server team. I solute you for your individual servers skill in Wv3. Good job manning up to your loss last week by showing such excellent strategy! =) Go “Jade Rall.” Cheer

Hmmmmmm can we say

Diehard.1432:

And SoR said they only field 25 players max…rofl

Looks like 25 to me

For those saying the patch didnt work…well it did for me. This is on medium/medium settings.

Avenge.1478:

Enjoying the JQ glitching on their BL, great times had by all.

Like that SoR mesmer that glitched through the NW inner garrison gate last night and ported people in? I will give props to the few players who took the portal, realized it wasnt legit and jumped out.

MagiKarp.8201:

You’re cute, maybe when your guild is relevant in WvW again, I might care.

Besides who knows the internal workings of SoS and MERC better than a JQ GM who stacked his server to the brink, you are now reaping the consequences, well done.

SF & others transferred off their server 3 weeks after they lost a major guild – no backlash for them, oh yeah, right because they were stacking your server, so thats alright, but if they provide competition no no thats bad and you guys should feel bad for wanting to play on a balanced competitive server.

So VaL’s mega alliance never transferred to you I see, those 16 (that you acknowledge, which we’ve all seen is more)

Bottom line is BG is a great server, which beat JQ pulled out all stocks this week which yes; Never Die and MERC had major parts in and I’m sick of the constant sniping from the insipid toxicity that is JQ maybe if you could actually best us on the WvW field you wouldn’t attack us so consistently on the forums.

You win one week after losing how many and tell us “if we could actually best us on the WvW field” lol. What kool aid are you drinking? I’ll say this and only this about the siege troll. Regardless of who ever is doing it, constantly putting the map at siege cap with little to no defensive siege being able to be set up will HEAVILY impact a defense of a tower/keep. Constantly having our supply drained and not being able to repair walls/gates. If you think this had no impact on the game you’re extremely closed minded. People were extremely frustrated at this, and it was an every day occurrence, the guy didnt simply do it once and stop. Anyway, congrats to BG on their win, regardless of how it happened you guys still took home the W and great job on that last push.

Honestly I havent even seen PRX doing much of anything recently. I saw their guild like once last week, and once this week, I don’t think it will be much different from how it is now when they leave or whatever. JQ doesn’t have as many people NA afternoon time as our competition, and we have the outmanned buff up on 3 of 4 maps NA night time. Which BTW, is when BG PVDoors us and gets most of it’s points while complaining about FOO and uses them as an excuse for why they lose.

Hm last week people from JQ were toting how they had the best NA primetime. Now PRX leaves and they are outmanned on 3 out of the 4 maps? I think it has a lot more to do with SoR’s NA actually playing the PPT game for once instead of looking for open field fights the whole night. JQ’s Na primetime is getting a nice reality check this week.

You know that it’s still spring break for most colleges/hs and that hurts but not only that it gets boring a lot of nights being unable to use skills due to lag from the mega zergs that roll maps. This coupled with some trolls just makes it sorta tedious see attached. He has been spamming for almost an hour that he’s a choo spy etc. Good luck though in NA prime

So its spring break for JQ and not SoR? Ahh ok now I get it. The spring break/skill lag zerg must be the reason JQ is now losing during NA primetime and not because SoR is making a statement this week. Anymore excuses?

I never said you guy’s weren’t affected by spring break. Just stating that a fair few of our main commanders are college aged. Also if SoR was making a statement wouldn’t you guys be in first? Statements for second don’t prove anything.

Why would we be in first if our NA primetime is making a statement? That is only 6 hours out of a 24 hour day. You do know that this is a 24 hour world vs world zone right?

What kind of statement are you trying to make? You even said it in your post, this is a 24 hour match, who cares if you can “lead” a PPT for 6 hours. Congrats, you’re awesome.

Because many JQ made the statement last week that they had the best NA primetime when they obviously don’t.

You sure showed us! Good job and keep up the good work!

Regardless of them zerging your GvG session, if they want to play that way then so be it. Stop flaming them already and get over it. You guys constantly complaining about them is just as bad as them rolling over your GvG. You talk about “respect” and “manners”, well learn to be the bigger person and move on. Getting on the forums and throwing hissy fits isnt going to do anything, roll them on the field when you see them and maybe they’ll think twice before doing it again.

You’re kinda ‘throwing a hissy fit’ yourself, there…

Learn to use stability.

I don’t believe any classes have spammable Stability skills. Most are on long cooldowns, like Armor of Earth (90s) for Elementalists, with a short duration (6s), barely long enough to use a couple of skills, and then you’re out for the next 84s based on your logic.

Because Temporal Curtain works on sides of walls, you don’t usually see it until you are pulled, which is too late to use Stability, even if you could react that fast.

Stability is not the answer to OP’s problem. But I’m sure you realize this and are just trolling.

Since you play on a lower tier server it’s obvious that you are inexperienced with stability and its related traits.

Again, learn to use stability. Maybe you should try reading the wiki article on stability before you accuse others of trolling.

Here you go: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Stability

Ahh yes, tier is associated with individual skill and knowledge. Go on.

Stability isn’t spammable but really the enemy should be putting up aoe to keep you away from the edge anyway.

Temporal curtain isn’t spammable either so what’s your point?

This shouldn’t be rocket science for you, if it’s giving you that much trouble then guess what, equip some stability skills or traits.

You dont seem simple, so what part of multiple mesmers using it one after another(perhaps after stability has worn off) can you not comprehend? I mean it shouldn’t be quantum physics for you or is it?

Lol whats up with all of these people complaining about zergs? This is WvW, theres supposed to be big battles, theres supposed to be small groups/solo roaming, its a combination of them all. Do what makes YOU happy and where you find your most enjoyment. The zergs arent forcing their game play style on you, how about you not force yours on them? And fyi, i’m a small grouper/solo roamer

style.6173:

What we do NOT need… a new currency in WvW. Anet seems to be creating new game currency every update (a really bad idea). Let’s hope that stops. Badges are the WvW currency, so I hope they use that.

Other hopes:
1. All ascended gear is available for purchase with badges
2. A new 2 server set of maps.
3. Ability for commanders to unclaim keeps/towers/camps if there are no active buffs
4. Culling fix. At the least, revert back to the original culling system

Some things that I disagree with the OP
1. There should not be penalties for zergs. Some of us really enjoy that type of fight and it is the reason we even play WvW. Smaller groups should be encouraged through increased drop rates or achievements.
2. Keep WvW and PvE activities separate. There are way too many bandwagon jumpers in this game already. We don’t need to see people jumping servers every week based on the buffs.
3. Eles seem perfect? They are the strongest class currently in WvW. The heal nerf from sPvP should have been carried over.

+1

Great fights all around today. JQ refuses to give our Garrison back! We get in and wipe wave after wave and we just until we can’t anymore. Good fighting!

Extremely fun fighting today, constant fights and overall your guys ability to keep coming regardless of wiping is nothing but admirable. I’ve always respected BG and you guys gave me another reason to do so. Thanks for the fights, and thanks for not giving up, more people could really learn quite a bit from your server.

Great fighting @ Hills on JQBL, you guys are tucked in there pretty good. So far this has been one of the best match ups i’ve played in and i’m looking forward to more. Though its a shame to see some people from my server constantly referring to you guys as “failgate”, I quite simply don’t see it like that. You guys fight hard and never give an inch without us fighting hard for it, for that I respect you/your server. Thank you guys for bringing a great fight to T1, its much appreciated and I expect nothing less than this for the next match up

Heres a little peek at mine.

I’d just like to say thanks for some fun and awesome fights, from both servers. Without a doubt this has been a great match up so far and i’m sure its only going to get better as the week goes on.

Oh and heres something to lighten the mood a bit.

Robert Hrouda.1327:

All new stuff in dungeons is going to be hard for the first few days. We see it all the time with new content – people fail and get knocked down when they aren’t used to that sort of thing, and they claim it is too difficult.
Give it a week or so for everyone to develop strategies, learn encounters, and build fundamentals, and they will claim it is too easy. Trust me when I say this, the numbers are punishing (but less than they were before), but knowing the mechanics will greatly mitigate the danger.

You guys took one of the most casual friendly dungeons and turned it into something not your average pug can do. I’ve easily ran AC well over 300 times before the patch, and it was infact in a solid place. I didnt mind grabbing non-lvl 80’s, or casuals and explaining to them the fights, not anymore. It seems as though each patch you guys step further and further away from what you had originally marketed and expressed how you wanted the game to function.

Also lol @ you guys saying the learning curve for this game is pretty big and you wonder why?

Jason King.2647:

Thank you for your feedback, everyone. We appreciate your input and have been following the responses to this thread; based on the overwhelming sentiment that the rifle was preferred as is, we’ll be reverting these changes soon.

Wonderful news and great to hear!

I personally, along with many others who spent long hours and our time getting this rifle and i’m a bit disappointed. The new audio is extremely bland, non-fitting and seems like an altered version of the #5 warhorn skill of a warrior. My main suggestion is to please, revert it back to the way it was. You can check the audio section and see the amount of people who arent happy with the change, quite frankly I havent seen a single person that likes it. I understand why you changed it, but its not even in the patch notes and it was never mentioned that it was going to be changed.

Also, I know on the Jan 28th there was an update that added the aura around the player holding it, but it seems the asuras aura is extremely small, most of the time not even noticeable, and certainly not active when stowed. As with the footfalls, ours are small, hardly noticeable and last only for a few steps while others last for what seems to be a trail(not asking for that much but if they’d be more noticeable that’d be nice).

Now onto the rifle and being used on an engineer. Two of our rifle skills don’t trigger the audio, them being blunderbuss and overcharged shot, is there a reason for this? Could there be audio added eventually for these? Also along with that, it seems this rifle was more geared towards warriors. When we swap kits, we lose our effects, and even then the only kit it has a visual impact on is grenades, them being #1 and grenade barrage. Could this possibly be looked at as well? I know I might be asking for a ton, but I think they’re things that could be added(over time of course, its not game breaking etc.) that will give more of an incentive for engineers to go for it.

I just finished mine last night as well, was quite sad to see the change. Hopefully though we can at least get an answer, even if its not the one we want.

Was the audio change something that was intended to be done or is it a bug? Any word on this?

I can afford it, but that doesnt mean my opinion of items being stupidly over priced is wrong. You can try to debate the supply/demand thing all you want, I know how it works. Many people keep using that as a crutch to lean on when others bring up very valid points.

Your opinion isn’t (can’t) wrong, but it’s not one that’s shared by the majority of the game’s players.

To give you credit though, you didn’t resort to the “Everyone suffers from rising prices” “It’s unfair that all casual players can’t get what they want” lines that many other players seem to love bringing up.

Well again, i’m not a casual player expecting everything to be given to me. Nor do I expect everything to be dirt cheap, theres a middle ground somewhere and eventually the market will get there(I hope). I loved when the bots were here, things actually seemed to be around a fair price that I personally found somewhat decent

Esoteric.5490:

So we get promised, yes, PROMISED huge updates for WvW in February, then they decide that the patch “needs more testing”, but, in all of this, those, blessed PvE updates are still going through. Honestly, ANet, you have got to be kittening kidding me. I played Guild Wars 1 for 4 years after it launched. If it wasn’t for players like me, this game WOULD NOT EXIST. And how do you repay my customer loyalty? You spit on me by making me play a game for 6 months because of the promise of this unknown carrot on a stick, praying every day that you wouldn’t screw us over with badges not being able to buy ascended gear and that when you created these “titles” all of the game time I put in playing WvW wouldn’t be left for naught. Little known fact, most of us that play WvW DO NOT PLAY OTHER PORTIONS OF THE GAME. We got to level 80 and geared our characters and then we never left, but you decide that the only aspect of this game that we want to play is somehow less important than some carebear PvE player’s content because they totally haven’t gotten multiple holiday events, an event with an absurd drop rate of precursors, and a PERMANENT dungeon. Oh, I forgot, we got jack-o-lantern flame rams and Trebs that launched snowballs, A+ development work on WvW right there, champs.

If you think for a second that you have not made WvW second fiddle to PvE content, you are dead wrong and no politically correct statements you make about your “progress” is going to show otherwise.The rest of this game has gotten thousands of hours and repeated patches of work put into it, but WvW has only had you REMOVE entire objectives like orbs from our maps and now you have pushed the WvW updates back, EXCLUSIVELY. Also, it is astonishing that you just now decided to hire more “staff” to your WvW team. Did it take you 6 months post release to figure out that you have yet to release one solid, meaningful addition to WvW and to realize that you need more bodies working on what is supposed to be your ENDGAME? And to think that WvW had 3 whole developers compared to the dozens, no doubt, that you had working on all of that great PvE content. Explain to me, what is the point of even playing in a Borderland? What dynamic PvP happens there when you have no objective to fight for on 3 carbon copy maps?

If you detect a hint of rage or anger in my post then you are kitten right. I play GW2 for the WvW and the WvW alone. I, nor 90% of WvW players give a flying kitten about what PvE content you are adding because our favorite game type, that we love despite your dysfunction, is barely playable.

I pray that you are reading this and take my words to heart, because if you erase the 4.5k badges I’ve made by trumping them with a new WvW currency, decide that my achievements and the 20k kills I’ve gotten in WvW don’t count towards these new titles retroactively, or make it apparent that you are not even going to put in 25% of the effort into WvW that you put into PvE, then you will see players leave this cesspool in literal DROVES.

No need to toss my input, you’ve basically said much of what I had to say. Its absolutely crazy how many times WvW gets put to the side for other “more important” things, while a large portion of their player base gets ignored. Those quaggan backpacks sure do look cool though!

Soooooooo can you guys make these bags lootable? :P In all seriousness not sure if this has been brought up but this is a huge problem. Its causing massive FPS loss in the entire area, and its not just a mass of them there. A path following the enemy hyleks of the dynamic event “Kill the Cutal Thieves” has them spread behind where the mobs path goes. This takes place near the Michotl Grounds Waypoint in Metrica Province.

lol here we go again! Both SoS and BG are capitalizing on us not being able to get anything done at the moment, please stop with the excuses. Sorry SoS & BG, some still cant comprehend tactics and weak defenses = your stuff gets taken.

BTW you guys are bringing the heat early! Keep it up, this should become a great match up!

Can SoS and BG do me a favor and please for the love of god zerg the JQ people who sit in the JP for 4+ hours, is that too much to ask? :P

So I have a few questions:

1) What was the major factor in your choice to change allies being able to be rez’d in combat in dungeons? If people are forced to run back constantly is there going to be an adjustment to the cost of repairs?

2) With certain classes/builds that rely heavily on aoe, how are the changes going to impact those builds/playstyles?

3) You mentioned ascended gear will be attainable outside of fractals, with that said what kind of upgrade slot are they going to get? Why would I want to infuse agony resistance/offense if its not helpful at all when i’m not doing a lvl10+ fractal?

These two questions werent talked about on the stream but I really think it’d be nice if we can get some sold answers on them.

4) There was a post quite some time ago explaining how changes were coming to make legendary weapons a bit more attainable. With most precursors over 200g in the game, along with the materials to make them sometimes totally up to 300g, is there ever going to be something done to alleviate this? Its either you spend countless hours farming(which in turn you’re not enjoying the game) or you have deep pockets and dont mind spending real money for gems/convert to gold, which in turn only benefits you. Where are these updates that are supposed to help? I havent seen any mention, besides that one time karka event that had a chance to drop a precursor, which didnt help people who didnt attend it.

5) My main is an engineer, you’ve slapped some pretty terrible changes onto our class. You said that you’re taking a look at giving each class more depth which is good, when can we expect some type of information on whats getting done for each class?

ColinJohanson.2394:

I just want to quickly clarify to set expectations, nothing in the blog post, nor nothing we’ve said anywhere has said you will be able to buy precursor items directly for crowns, this is not the case. We’ve simply said we’ll try and find some other places to add a chance to get them to the game until we’ve implemented the eventual precursor scavenger hunt.

Long term we’ll be working on the scavenger hunt concept to track down and earn a precursor item as a direct form of earning the reward. We’ll discuss that in more detail in the future once a design and implementation has been finalized.

Just to touch on this a bit, anet said a while back they were going to start making a legendary more attainable and we’d notice that over the “next coming updates” – Well what exactly since then(besides the one time karka event, that some didnt even attend) has been changed?

Habib Loew.6239:

Zepher.7803:

- How many players can one map contain?

As many as we can fit without causing too much stress on the servers. We can’t be more specific than that, but I can assure everyone that the cap is definitely split equally between all three worlds.

in regards to server limitations does this apply to ranger pets?
do they count as 1 towards the limit?

Nope our map limits only take into account actual players. That said, when we were picking population limits we took into account the fact that some players would have pets/minions/etc.

Only quoting since its in reference of player limit, but I was wondering is there a plan to possibly move the jumping maps to their own separate zone? I understand the point of them, and respect the rewards you can get from doing them as well. But you see when theres 15-25 people from your server that simply do nothing but camp it, and refuse to actually help your server while theres people waiting in a queue that will it has a negative impact on us. I also understand they’re allowed to play how they want, I didnt pay for their game so i’m not going to say “Get out of the JP and help us” like others do. But when it comes down to defending towers against a 40 man zerg while 25 people are in the JP it leaves some people with a salty attitude. I thought WvW was there for the pvp and overall chess game, not filling our map with people camping a chest that only rewards x amount of badges/siege in a 24 hour period.

Werent you the same guy who posted on these forums saying wvw was too addictive and that you werent sleeping/working because of it? If you want to talk about reflections of personal character why dont you take a look in the mirror before speaking next time bud.

Let’s not alter the message of my posts. I didn’t say WvW was addictive. I said WvW’s 24/7 nature forced players to play longer hours than normal if they wanted to win. Making it no longer a casual game as Anet had marketed thus they needed to do something about it.

It didnt “force” you or anyone else to do anything, thats a personal problem that you and others couldnt comprehend. Instead you blamed anet for your lack of self control and terrible perception of priorities. Also I didnt alter your message at all, clearly you just perceived it differently then how I did.

Good job SOS you’re finally playing like a proper tier 1 server!

Wohoooooooooo

Well if the shoe fits I suppose, you said it not me.

Starting to see players from known SoS guilds pop up all over on our server now…

On behalf of all that is awesome(yes, every bit of me is awesome) I seriously encourage anet to take a deeper look into the termination of their accounts. I lead along side two of them very frequently in WvW and have never once seen them do anything shady. Pheo/krow are cooperative and i’m sure they’ll assist anet any way possible to restore their accounts. So please, do the right thing anet, lets get this investigation started and figure out what went on here.

On to other stuff, each server has people who exploit. EACH server, just because theres a few bad apples doesnt mean the rest of them condone nor approve of it. When you guys can finally take off your tin foil hats and realize this the community as a whole will be better off.

Happy holidays everyone! Enjoy it and stay safe out there

All I honestly see are people complaining about a completely fair mechanic/play style of thiefs. If people spent more time on trying to figure out how to play their class correctly rather then complain about a pure glass cannon thief blowing them away then there wouldnt be any of these threads, actually it’d probably be the opposite. Every class has a counter to a glass cannon C&D thief, EVERY class.

Also why is it people cant comprehend you get a debuff after you stealth, you cannot stealth again for another 4 seconds. A good portion of thiefs that are glass cannon C&D will use steal to get close, its either 1200 range(traited) or 900. More times then not if you see a thief coming and he has daggers out you can expect this, this is where KNOWING your class comes into effect. It really isnt that hard to dodge when you see the animations keying up. Or you can stand there like a champ eat the C&D, dodge from the backstab and toss aoe’s around yourself. The whole thing about doing a glass cannon C&D build is that you need your openers to land or (depending on the skill of the other player) its going to go straight down hill from there.

To add, my first 80 was a engi, and it used to kitten me off beyond belief when a thief could hit a 15k backstab(back when the signet did +150% damage, thank god that got nerf’d). Things like that gave me two options, QQ and cry/rage about it every time it happened or LEARN to play my class to counter it. I sucked it up and learned how to counter it. I demolish GC thiefs on my engi/warrior all day long because I know how to counter them, more people should spend more time trying to counter it rather than cry for the nerf bat.

As for the culling, well that isnt the thiefs fault, quite frankly its none of the players fault. You should be complaining at Anet to fix it rather then say stealth needs to be nerf’d because they still cant get it together and find a better solution.

If I offended you with my post, well sorry. I’m sure many others will agree with what I have said though.

The playing has been absolutely terrible as of late, the skill lag alone when mass numbers of players hit each other is enough to make me log out of WvW. This will probably be deleted but honestly, do you guys even have an internal test server to actually play these things out on your end before releasing them? It seems you guys drop the ball EVERY time it comes to testing something before release..the game has been out for months now get it together already.

I love WvW, but I’m a little worried that the changes are going to be something like this:

“Get ready for a one time WvWvW event that will change the borderlands FOREVER!!!

BEHOLD, orbs are back, guarded by a new terror in a previously unseen underwater objective point! Explore these new realms, and you might even find hidden treasures! We’ve added more, stronger monsters to the war lands where agony will kill all but the strongest of hero’s!

You spoke, we listened! One time events. More underwater combat. More jumping puzzles. More exciting dungeon combat. Coming FEBRUARY 15th!"

Priceless lol! You must be a ninja anet dev because I have a feeling thats exactly what type of update they’ll announce and I wouldnt be surprised at all.

Golems were running rampant in EB last night. I think JQ has found a new hobby.

Yup, taking everything SBI had was quite pleasureful.

Happens on JQ as well. Its really annoying when you see people do this, then all of a sudden a server makes a really huge push for your keep and you have no supply to repair the gates if needed.

Glad to say JQ is holding out. Admist all the “bandwagoners” we’ve been able to substain the majority of our top contending guilds even through Halloween PvE drought. Props to those guilds that made it possible. FIRE,MMAC,FOO,DC,FC, and yours truly Elite Solidarity. We can dispute which server is having it rough for whatever reason but at the end of the day, it effects every server. Best of luck to everyone, it has been probably one of our most exciting weeks to date.

Indeed good job to them, but leaving out the smaller guilds that get a lot done isnt fair as well. So to all of the smaller guilds on JQ keep up the great work.

Also thanks to SBI and BG for putting up good fights, i’m sure it’ll only become a closer matchup as the week goes on. Thanks for being good opponents, its always a pleasure fighting against two good servers.

Anyone know who the leader of HB is on BG?

Globe. you just transfer to JQ from BG?

I’ve been on JQ since day 1, and will be until I stop playing, like I said win or lose.

What we need to do is get crushed willingly and let the bandwagoners outgrow BG and we need to grow as a community and try to “trudge” out of T2 opposed to absolutely making tons of noise.

I don’t think any of this happening is ‘willing’. If you guys had your choice you’d be 500k above us right now and forum boasting how bad you stomped us and how Beastgate is the best pony.

Its funny you say that, its the exact thing you do in every other thread when SBI is winning, yet you were no where to be found when SBI was losing.

Probably not whining on forums, and fighting on the field, unlike you.

I dont know if its your reading comprehension thats lacking or if you’re just plain simple. That was far from “whining”, but i’ll give you two points for effort. I’m sorry if pointing out the truth can hurt some egos, seems like i’ve stepped on your heels with that comment. I’m sure me and countless others who frequent here have seen it and its getting quite old, and if you cant then maybe you should take a step back and look at it from someone elses perspective.

And not that I need to retort to your other comment but I am out there fighting daily, winning or losing it doesnt matter to me. Take care buddy.
