Guild Wars 2

a t s e.9614:

First lets establish what’s a zerg, it dosent necessary mean a blob of 50 players, a zerg is a group of players that can stick together to make the things easier or faster. It can be 5 players or 10 or 1000 dosent matter, moving as a blob should never be considered a strategy and should never be rewarding.

So you define the word zerg and we should accept it? And what are you talking about? blobs or zergs? And why should playing together never be rewarding? I do understand that the scaling, especially the champion scaling just doesn’t work and that’s why people abuse it zerging but still.. playing together should always be more rewarding than playing alone in an mmorpg, that’s what this genre is all about.. playing together, socialize, ..

mooty.4560:

Even so, I’m fairly certain they don’t want to create a huge imbalance in rewards for players who haven’t had time to accumulate Magic Find and the players who’ve been farming 24/7 since day one.

Sorry, but no. This is just wrong.

Wanze.8410:

as long as the autoclicker macro doesnt enable you to do anything else while clicking.

Wat?

A.net is okay with a macro that does 1 action per keystroke. 1 click counts as 1 action

Yes, the same way you transmute anything else. Have you tried it?

I bought them         

If you want the whole game to be endgame, play a game without progression. Not that hard, isn’t it?

So why dont you just use a proxy?

Use those 2 Cyphers to open the chest in scarlets hideout.

+ x% Damage/Crit/Condduration aren’t interessting either because they don’t change my playstyle.

Rebound.3409:

Yes thank god..now tell me to what server to guest to at this very moment where i can 100% get the achievement. Or tell me the exact time i should guest to that server…and which overflow.

Guestings equals a big 0. Stop making it sound like it’s the solution. It should never come down to guesting in the first place. U have 2 chances/day to guest to the right server, right overflow, right time with right ppl doing it and right event scaling.

BG is one of the servers who made the achievement and in general a good server overall population wise. I have been sitting in LA doing events for the past 6-7h trying to get it. Guess what..not happening. They did the achievement at 5AM my time. glhf trying that with a job.

If you have so many problems finding the right server, why don’t you just ask around? Why don’t you form your own group of people and coordinate all that stuff? I am pretty sure you aren’t the only player out there who wants the achievement and faces the same problem as you.
It’s called achievement because you should do something for it, there are way too many “piggyback me through this please” kind of achievements.

Basically what Belzebu said. For the first time doing a mixture between WvW and sPvP can be a good way to level if you are more interested in the pvp aspect of the game.
In WvW you do alot of events, can gather materials, discover the map, kill enemies, in PvP you can earn glory and spend that on tomes that level you up instantly. But we don’t know what’s going to happen after the 18th of march because glory will be removed.

Onisuo.8607:

So yeah, this is not a complaint or anything but this community has reached a new low by making low level characters and speed running the first personal story to completion to get black lion keys. Delete character and rinse repeat.

Either these players are extremely bored or they are so poor that they can’t spend a few bucks to buy the gems from the cash shop.

This farm has been around almost since release and now you “complain” ? I don’t get it.

Some people like the gamble with the BLTC keys and paying up to 10g per key is just not worth it. People rather spend 20minutes to get one key without any RNG.

Also it can be fun to set new personal records.

Murth.5637:

All you need is numbers, which is hard to get on alot of servers.

Thank god that there is a guesting feature in this game.

Yes you can still upgrade it.

guardian.6489:

You guys do realize this is just an achievement, just 10 AP, it really doesn’t matter that much if you can’t get it.

I bet you are really fun at parties

Oh okay                                                       

Nyel.1843:

This.

Living Story will end March 18. And after that the time for the feature patch has come. But after that doesn’t mean March 19 or March 20.

Not sure if we are talking about the same finale but this is what the official GW2 site said

After December 10, there will be just four releases left in the current major world story arc, which we like to think of as season one of the Living World. There are some major unanswered questions that remain: What is Scarlet trying to do? What is the motivation behind her actions? What are the “do not touch” devices? What will Scarlet do with the knowledge she has gained from her various collaborations? The answers to all of these questions, and one epic finale that will rock Tyria to its very core, await you in 2014

Pie Flavor.1647:

the title gets out of hand if you expect me to include every single little example on it, how about we leave it on a general tone? why that obsession over the title?

the resurrect buff well… resurrects.

things like guild bounties have a longer than 8h 10min cooldown

and I think your last statment is an opinion and that it depends largely on the speedrunner

So there will be a service that comes with the VIP status that ressurects you everytime you are down/dead? How will this work?

And my question still stands, since when is there a competition around getting 100% world completion?

Not right now and everything else is just speculation.

Pie Flavor.1647:

so if I said that the resurrection buff allows you to basically skip through most PvE content and hence get world exploration much easier by just face ramming into POIs does that mean I need to include that to the title?

there is a limit of characters on the title and I can’t make it too long, there is absolutely no reason to change the title

title

thread title

[So the chinese gem store is literally pay2win] <-your threadtitle
[So the chinese gemstore is pay2winguildbounties]<- my proposal
[Post a pic of your character only if your armor is mix-n-match]<- the title of another thread just to show you how long those titles can be

What does the ressurection buff do?

The teleport has a 8 or10hour cooldown.

And since when is there a competition around getting 100%? I am sure people who speedrun these kind of things have rules that could include “do not use the VIP service”.

Not sure why you posted it here but there is a specific thread for those issues

Win what?               

win guild missions by being able to port to a friend when you found the objective of a guild bounty for example

Oh okay, well that is a shame. Now they can more effectively farm guild bounties.
But you should change your threadtitle to pay2win guildbounties.

“for example”

How about some other examples then

why should I? I’ve provided an example that should make this completely unacceptable.

Because of the threadtitle. If there are no other examples just change it to “pay2win guildbounties”

kgptzac.8419:

The Knights event was left in a very sorry state over a weekend where one would expect more players to log in and play. I think ANet owes us an explanation on what went wrong and how they can improve so kittens like this doesn’t happen again.

They wanted the fight to be more challenging. They are human beings that don’t work 24h each days and there is this thing called “weekend”, people usually don’t work on weekends.

Mark Katzbach.9084:

As Colin mentioned in this blog post, “Due to the size and scope of the final four story releases in season one, the next round of major features will be bundled together into a large “feature only” release that will come after the first season of the Living World 2014 has finished.”

More information on this feature release will come available after the current living world arc wraps up.

Well, last week the last of the 4 patches was release.

Kaiyanwan.8521:

If servers do not have enough players to get 150 people together at LA for the living story event, the great final, something is seriously wrong.

Why is ANet so resilient to the idea of server merges. The population of those servers must be abysmal.

Because they know the exact numbers and you don’t.

Short answer, no.
Event if you are going to solo content you are most likely better of using zerker gear.

If the meta achievement is your biggest concern you can still do it by completing the daily achievements.

Aww too bad I actually thought they would surprise us with a change in the dungeon

Eloquence.5207:

Le Thief. You don’t have long range burst in the most traditional sense. You can cover a long distance in a short time to stabbity-stab-stab.

Wouldn’t it rather be “le voleur” ?

@OP
Well, Killshot is the closest thing you can get that fits your description, everything else is pretty much long ranged sustained damage for obvious balance reasons. Those 4k auto attacks from the longbow ranger can hurt though.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Flamekissed_Light_Armor_Skin

But it is, they changed it some time ago.

Zaxares.5419:

Putting players in a situation where “you need to play Zerker/full DPS otherwise you can forget about beating this content” is NOT a good idea.

But that’s wrong. All you need to do is come prepared, bring your best geared character, get the damage buff from the mystic plaza merchant, use the scarlect tonic and maybe even eat some buff food and suddenly you are way more effective.

Valandil Dragonhart.2371:

I believe Anet might have overshot the ability-factor of most zergs to DPS certain targets. Zergs are 90% brainless

And apparently this is something A.Net wants to change, which is good, but it’s going to be hard task because of all those “i play how i want” players

Anyone else have this happen to them?

Kaiyanwan.8521:

Wasn’t logged in like the whole weekend.

Thanks for letting us know!

@OP
A rollback? No but I had a 1s delay for like 2hours earlier this day and it was definitely an issue on their side.

cobrahorse.4329:

So after reading this post I came across people responding in the matter that disturbed me a little bit.
You cannot say “you play for skins” “you play for this”
If this person’s goal is to farm allot of gold the game should be offering him a variable gaming experience.
A good game in my eyes is a game that attract many different kind of people and furfill all their needs, the explorers, the pvpers, the pvers, the gold farmers, the rp’s and so fourth

Yeah have fun waiting for this utopian dream of a game.

A R W E N.6895:

It’s not about having a vast sum of currency. It’s about being able to buy the different skin (armor and weapon) and to gear up my character with money that I made playing the game instead of money that I made being on the TP.

Gearing up your character ends up being expensive. And right now I have to make a choice between playing the game and making little amount of money to gear up, or play the tp, and make huge amount to gear up.

Edit: And it would also be about being to gear up by looting what you need!

I “play” the game, I don’t farm or play the TP nor do I have a lot of luck.
My main character has a legendary, multiple ascended weapons, almost complete ascended gear, not sure what you are talking about. Every other character on my account has at least full exotic gear.

CureForLiving.5360:

For easy consumption I put that in a meme for you.

That’s not a meme that’s an image macro

Same here .

Germany, Vodafone.
Server: Drakkar Lake[DE]

I’d give it a c+. The ending was pretty cool, all the bugs/changes around it were a big let down.

CC Danicia.1394:

Please don’t delete them!

You can hold on to your extra blade shards, as the team will be adding something later which will allow you to convert the shards to something of value. Dev will be announcing more on that later. Thanks!

Thanks for letting us know, 2 weeks later.

WvW, Fractals, Tequatl. Seem to be the best methods. But I rather just visit lower level areas and wander around, helping players who might need help and do every event that’s on my way. It’s a pretty nice way of playing the game and can give you a decent amount of money aswell.

A nice combo for engineer with the healing turret for example is:
place the turret, instantly overload it and after that destroy it. The overload creates a combofield water and the explosion triggers the combofield because it is a combofinisher: explosion.

KumajirouSan.3527:

Secondly, Razer has announced a new Macro program that has Guild Wars 2 support

Do you have a link to that announcement? I am kinda curious.

And yes, it is a bannable offense.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

Aberrant.6749:

Will it be useful after the updated rewards? ATM it’s pointless in this game mode… yet we get it as a salvage “reward.”

in the future maybe whenever we get credit for a player kill (stomp or burst down) perhaps there is a chance to get some goodies?

I see what you did there

I think the patch, because of the huge balance part, will come after the wvw season 2, which would be the may 16th

Fenrina.2954:

Then why bother with anything more than “if people learn to dodge the extraction attack* and it’s other mechanics”? You rattled off a long list of power-based things people should do instead of talking about how they should play better.

Because a good player is not defined by how big his gear numbers are but by how much he tries to maximize his contribution to the fight and this means, buffs, knowing the encounter and adapting his skills or even traits to the fight.

ZamirHuang.3895:

I hope they don’t remove barrage from the Longbow.

Why? I think it is a horrible skill.
The recharge is too high, the duration/dmg to slow for a skill that can pretty much get you killed in WvW for 2 reasons, not being mobile and retal. . If you want to cripple people you are better of using muddy terrain right now.

zexion.5842:

Yes there is. It is the leylines. On one of scarlets maps it shows a ley line right where teq is. He just absorbs it and becomes stronger – the same ley line is connected to the big pocket she drilled into to awaken mord.

But he didn’t get stronger after that patch neither did he before that patch

RottenRagamuffin.3159:

But they are a DPS race. And, teamwork doesn’t mean excluding anyone who isn’t in berserker gear. All players, regardless of their level, degree of skill, or gear/build type should have a role to play in these events, not just those in possession of one sort of armour type, or what’s the point of build diversity? How dull would the game be without all the “unique snowflakes”? If the only viable build in GW2 was berserker, I doubt I’d still be playing.

And I like I said after that quoted post, I never implied that people should wear zerker gear and be zerker specced.
