Guild Wars 2

Wow play guild wars 2 WvW you get to enjoy forum wars 2 as well :p

Joke aside, just want to share with you guys. Today I happened to watch Kingdom of Heaven again from a TV show at a friend place. While enjoying amazing medieval setting and lighting works, the scene of Saladin breaking the city wall with trebuchet, troops outside getting ready to charge in, when troops inside getting ready for wall down comes. I felt sudden urge to jump in to WvW. Now back at home and kitten enjoying the fights.

HannaDeFreitas.4236:

There is a fine line between hardcore players and OCD grind addicts, it’s wrong to assume they are the same people.
I got 1200 hours in, if you do the math is pretty much 7-8 hours/day but I’m not obsessed with the philosophy of “getting better stats through PvE so I don’t suck at PvP”, those are different people.
I’m actually very happy max gear is very easy to obtain and then it’s all about skins/fun.

The worst enemy of GW2 I think are players who want to out-gear others because they can’t out-skill them.
They want that grinding results in easy ownage of non-grinders, they want trinity so it frees them of responsibility in dungeons, they want no downscaling because they want to show “power” to mobs too, they want FFA in PvE zones so they can sit in Queensdale to kill lvl 5s, etc.
Luckily this kind of people tends to last very little in GW2, they realize skill>gear and there is no reward or feeling of omnipotence without good player skills, so they move to games where time equals power.

That’s how I see it.

Exactly how I think. The reason I like GW2 is because of the aspect that gear grinder, high leveler cannot just owned you because they are higher level and have better gear. I used to play a grindfest game where gear & level > skill with open world pvp. That’s why when I learnt about GW2 I’m was so glad and anticipated it. Moreover newcomer can easily catch up without feeling they come too late to the game.

Yes. lagging hard along with several disconnections. It has never happened before to me and my guild mates. Something is wrong for sure.

Having tons of fun this week. Aslo score update:

I give up monthly after the first month. I’m glad I have a chance to finish now. Thx Anet.

How is it inappropriate? I spend all my time in WvW and still get the dailies done in half an hour in there. I like the new dailies because they offer variety not the instant gratification you are asking for. From your reasoning, I should get laurels for just logging in because that’s how I want to play.

What I meant is it’s inappropriate that WvW get’s one solid slot out of the nine, to where really nothing else does. Seems…zwonky, to me.

Isn’t there Story Dungeon Runner for daily? That one is PvE solid slot I’d say.

Daily changes are getting better compared to before. I can do much faster then before. For variety, I’m sure Anet will add more in future

1. target…Norns with Greatswords in crafted armor.

After that I target anything with facial hair. Once they are dead and my superior beard remains, everything else is child’s play due to it’s mojo.

I have norn guardian with biggest body type. I also feel I get targeted first most of the time.

For me, spawn camping is a tactic to break a server’s morale on that map and force them to move to another map. By doing so the dominant server can do upgrades and hold more points.

morrolan.9608:

This is the new list at least for today:

10 WvW invader kills
40 kills in ascalonian zones
40 kills in Norn(?) zones
1 fractal <<<<<<<<<<<< are you serious?
5 sidekicked events(you’re downleveled)
10 salvages
3 skill points
20 gathering

Even if one still had skill points to do in WvW a player can’t do 5 in WvW.

OP is right! I can’t get laural at least for today

You only need to do 5 of those =.= so no you don’t “need” to do a fractal. You can do 3-4 of those in WvW.

Oh? that’s great then. Thx for the info ^^

My advise is try guardian.

jojojoon.8607:

This is the battle of chest thumping. A few weeks back, SOR chest thumps with the achievement of owning JQ’s garrison in JQ’s borderland map. JQ comes back with owning all of SOR’s borderland including 3 waypoints. This week, SOR chest thumps about owning JQ’s keep in EB. JQ comes back with owning all of EB including 4 waypoints.

There is enough chest thumping but it is obvious you got the servers mixed up. Above attachment shows what SoR can do with equal coverage.

I’m just sincerely curious. How do you know it’s equal coverage at that time?

Slayer Lord.5023:

JQ is right now holding off both SoR and SoS in JQ keep on EB. Really heroic and over 5 commanders. The hate on us is strong, but we can fight back.

It’s not hate, it’s how EB works. Later in the week SoS will be in the same position, so will SoR.

I didn’t get the memo, when are these future “dates” scheduled?
/bow /bow /bow /salute means the “pact” is good ?

haha. JQ complaining about 2v1 by SoR & 5-10 remaining guilds left on SoS NA. Classy.

I don’t think it’s a complaint tho. That must have been very fun. I wish I was there.

eithinan.9841:

You really think IOJ played well that week? (I was there, and some members of my guild were pulling 14 hour shifts) I think you may be seeing the past through rose colored glasses.

I think the same though. IOJ did very well that time. For me, it’s one of the best fun matches, the other one being the match when BG come back to T1.

Durian.5419:

Nothing wrong with groups setting up some special dueling spot.

Also nothing wrong with you and your friends coming and wiping them.

That happens enough times and there won’t be anymore dueling.

I agree with you. Nothing wrong with holding such event. But if anyone don’t like the idea, one can group up and wipe it. It’s totally allowed as well.

wow another thread with epic line “I’m only doing the puzzle to get badges” again

Thanks.

3 way battles near sor spawn tower in sos bl was fun. Thanks for the fight guys.

I also feel that it’s a glitch and should be fixed. That area should stay till tip of the hill not down under.

bhagwad.4281:

Lots of us come to WvW just for the badges

umm no. I don’t think it’s true for real WvWer. They have more then enough badges mainly used for blue prints. Even me who play about 2 hour a day have more then enough badges for the gift and I don’t do JPs. I wish Anet remove badges from JP. They should only drop from players.

Voted for “yes, it’s awesome”. It’ll be even more awesome after patch.

WvW is rewarding.
1) tons of fun than killing AI.
2) comradeship is stronger then pve community
3) server pride
4) Some awesome unforgettable moment that I can’t trade with any legendary.

Repair cost QQ are invalid. You always gain more than repair cost in WvW.

Well we can’t control where people want to go right? And almost every server made recruitment threads not only us. I remembered SOS had two recruitment threads one for EU specifically and the other one get locked by moderator for making duplicated thread.

We are moving between SOR and JQ maps to respond to attacks. Having fun running with EMP commanders. Hill defense on SoR BL is epic.

Masamoon.3864:

Heres an update with actual scores and ppt since that doesn’t show much other than map.

lmao you sir owned someone.

Yup, my server won’t wait till you killed 5 vet guards.

Can we not feed the troll? You all know what post i’m referring to right?

You need to do both pvp and pve to get Legendary weapon otherwise you do not deserve to have it.
No skill involved? lol it’s definitely need more skill then killing AI.

May be, but I have level 60 guardian which I leveled in WvW since 40. I always get 6-7 badges within 2 hours at the very least.

No it means SoR has largest number currently and we are holding with our skills even tho we are out-manned. I got his point now :P

umm.. it’s only about 4 hour the match is started. I didn’t know one can decide on a server’s skill like that.

Because it’s fun. Extremely fun at times. Pve may be rewarding but it’s very very boring for me. And what’s the point of getting ubber legendary item when you can just fear them off a cliff even when you are wearing blue gear? Try that, extremely fun

Mikitten058:

Can I get an SoS commander on SOR Borderland to pm me in game please. (Or anyone who is Leading AB assault.)
Thank you.

Whoa SoR, you’ve got to sweep Mesmer.

Im asking for a leader of the assault to pm me. I will not say why on the forums.
So please humor me in this and not be sarcastic.

Thanks.

Not sarcastic. just trying to be funny. But I just noticed CDS is in SoR so i deleted my post immediately. Sorry my bad.

BrockMcCleery.9562:

oldephartte.4369:

The question needs to be asked, “Is JQ truly a North American server?”

Maybe WvW needs to be restricted to say 6:00 a.m. – midnight Pacific.

That’s 18 hours of potential game play and 6 hours to rest.

If this is inconvenient for players outside the North American time zones, then their own regional servers would be available.

This is actually the only viable solution. WvW should really be restricted to 16-18 hours of play, based US or EU sets of servers. It has its problems but I think that overall it would help make WvW better.

For instance, it would immediately make a number of servers much more competitive.

This kind of suggestion is rude to players from other time zones. Anet clearly stated that no player time is valuable than other.

As Time Glitch said, if you enjoy the game it’s worth to come back. If not, there’s no point.

Quarktastic.1027:

Guns existed before WoW. Paladins existed before WoW. Guardians are not paladins.

^ This

I know it would come soon. But tone it down guys. Last week match is over. let’s enjoy current fight. Don’t start sparks that will lead to flames. Just ignore those kind of post.

Another JP thread? Alright copy paste time:

JP in WvW maps are not a right it’s a privilege that comes with fighting for it. Anyone in WvW is free to fight anywhere with any weapon available as long as not using exploit. Fair is not in WvW dictionary. You have to fight for camps, you have to fight for towers, you have to fight for keeps, you have to fight for castle and you also have to fight for JPs if you desire it. And those who desire badges for legendary only and don’t care about pvp, legendary is for people who have done all aspects of the game not only pve.

To be honest, this kind of thread made me sad. Why PVEer want everything as a right when they are even enjoying the server bonuses freely that your home WvWer fight hard for?

Haha this thread made my day.
OP all people with red name will jump at you simply because u are enemy and your badges are needed by all

sostronk.8167:

SOS took a massive lead early in the week and JQ pulled this massive lead back after their guild transfer blackout period finished.

JQ always low in point after reset during weekend even before the transfers, but strong throughout the week. It’s our trend.

Yes. Being on JQ since head start. I love JQ and community. I have so much pride in our server the fact that our WvW is not made of super elite alliance. Everybody jump in and work together regardless of guild tag

I get OP point. It’s not a matter of easily doable in WvW. It’s a matter that all are pve related. For example 1 out of 5 should be WvW related like used xx supplies or kill xx invader etc. Well there’s pve daily and pvp daily and monthly as well. I just hope Feb patch will have WvW daily and monthly. I wasn’t able to complete monthly since fractals thing come in.

Charming Rogue.8071:

No. I don’t want to be ‘forced’ into doing an area of the game I don’t like (e.g. sPvP/WvW) in order to equip my characters with the highest possible gear available. It’s good that they made them available for laurel tokens, so that people that dislike fractal can still get ascended rings.

True. I don’t want to be forced to do fractal or FTOM or whatever. I only play WvW. I should be able to access those gears in some other alternative ways.

Kelthos Doombringer.9032:

What is this. I. do not even.

Necromancer staff doesn’t have an ability that removes boons from enemies.

Yes staff don’t have such skill. I think he’s referring to Well of Corruption. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Well_of_Corruption
It’s very useful skill in zerg v zerg. I really loved it when I can throw all 4 marks + 3 wells Well of Suffering, Well of Corruption and Well of Darkness into group using fast cast ground targeting option. The whole group will drop really fast

Raztlin.7964:

Sos do you guys even think about clearing oil or canons before you golem rush? 3/4 of your golems were dead within seconds. Just an FYI you might want to rethink your strat on that or at least send in a small force capable of holding down their own without creating swords on the map first. I have been there before myself and had to learn from those epic failures.

kitten you just have to let it out. Now one of my badge source may gone
Earlier this week, I got a lot of badges from oil at red brair from sos zerg ram worshipers. Here I am thinking oil pot was just a extra health for doors.

As a GMT + 8 player, the queue are always instant sir.
Guild transfers are not only to jq sir.

stop lying, I have friends on JQ and they tell me its not instant at all…

Not sure about your friend. I’m not lying. I regularly play on 9pm – 2 am GMT + 8 from Singapore.

Score Update: JQ is catching up. SoS is fighting back hard! This week is gonna be a close one!

Oh, nice! What a nail biter! Keep us posted!

Only took them 13 guild transfers to do it, but looks like theyre gonna grab this one!
Can only imagine the queues now, every map has huge jq zergs.

As a GMT + 8 player, the queue are always instant sir.
Guild transfers are not only to jq sir.
It appears huge zergs everywhere because we move map to map where it is needed sir. Just like last night round 1 am GMT +8 Waha’s FOO come to rescue when the only blue keep left Bay is under attack at SOS BL then left to another map several minutes later.
Waha your my hero <3

Only the WvW player knows how it feels good to be a lone defender inside a tower when the gate is down and big big red sea of army come in.

Bump! before moving to page 2.
You there! yes you, grasshopper. Come to JQ. We are made of community. Not super big alliance that need leave application Guild or guildless you will be part of our family and will not be left out.

But they are cute. It hurts me every time I have to kill them
