Guild Wars 2

Watch the first minute of this video

Should sum it up with a comical twist.

Dragonax.6487:

And now with HoT out, even more grind are needed just to unlock the new specializations

Seriously?

If you have done many Core Tyria Hero Challenges that took you 15 minutes, if not it took you about 1-2 hours.

I’m on 4/17 all through WvW, wouldn’t be so bad if Elites were account bound, some of us do have 3-4 of the same class

Don’t play ranked if you aren’t good enough to compete… I don’t play professional sports because I’m not good enough.

Just do Unranked.

My last 3 games:

17 rezzes
14 rezzes
8 rezzes

I seem to make up my whole team MMR some games, or at least it feels like it.

One of those games, a thief managed to down 2 allies, so I rez and go to run away, they downed again, so I rez and ran off because another ally (4 on point vs thief) came along and those 3 got wiped to a single thief and abused me about not helping more on point… Playing a Druid, my pet killed that said thief… MY PET KILLED THE THIEF THAT 3 PEOPLE COULDN’T EVEN KILL.

Nothing but win streaks since I posted this, I ended up being on the winning team and I feel sorry for the players I trampled along the way. (one of those games we farmed them at rally point) 10 points for fair match making lol

Go-Go-Gadget Necro.

Hi my name is foogison and I have a burning hatred for the MMR system.

I’m looking for a “team” of players to join up with instead of sacrificing my pips to the solo queue. I’m not trying to form a team necessarily I’m just looking for a couple of people that I’m confident in and have respect for to match up with whenever I’m online.

Maybe if 1 or 2 of you are online we can play as a trio, if I get more people than that that’s awesome too.

The MMR system has really ruined pvp for me almost completely, so myself looking for a small group of other players that maybe feel the same way is kind of like my last attempt to enjoy playing this game before I quit.

I’m not a legend or anything at pvp, but I’ve been playing since beta weekend 1 and it just frustrates the hell out of me when I see two people capping home at the start of a match, or someone on my team being killed by svanir…

I play engineer, guardian, necro, and theif.

I’m looking for players that have at least 10k achievement points and are at least rank 60 in pvp. I don’t care what division you’re in. I’m also looking for players who embrace playing the current meta. I’ve set these requirements out because i meet then and I think the kind of players I’m looking for will easily meet this criteria.

Please respond to this thread or PM me if you’re interested.

Players that did purely pvp don’t necessary have 10k AP and they are probably better than you lol.

I have a small guild of PvP focused players, they have played for 3 years and have 6-8k AP…. Although none of them run meta and if they do it’s a coincidence or maybe someone saw them stream.

You aren’t pro unless you stream, just look at meta builds.

Refer to video.

Community has asked for GvG support for nearly 3 years. It’s a little late now as most GvG guilds disbanded with HoT guild grind and lack of attention put towards the game mode that supported it, World vs World.

gennyt.3428:

I gotta be honest, when I saw YB topping the PPT chart I snickered a bit.

I think YB at the top was expected…

I don’t get the talk about “true PvP people have returned for seasons”… All I know is since leagues started I spend an entire match up rezzing team mates and if I’m not rezzing them then I am watching them 3v1 a thief off point.

I add some of these people to friends list to spy on AP: 388 AP was an ally…. I’m 15k AP and have played for 3 years…. (I recruited that guy in the end to my pvp guild, he’s learning mechanics really quick, but that’s not the point)

Congrats on being one of the few small man havok guilds that stayed together after HoT guild changes crushed the rest of us out.

All that hard work my havok guild did the first time around to build the guild (most of us used cash/gem sales) was lost with HoT, I didn’t blame them for quitting shortly after.

NA t1 is the only wvw worth playing. it’s broken AF, but at least it has people to fight.

How do you know? T2 is better than T1 in certain timezones.

It’s better to WvW when you want too rather than to wait for those “certain timezones”…

I just went to T1 myself, such a relief to just see enemies and level Elites when ever I want too.

T1 has stuff going on on all maps nearly all the time. my guild went from t5 to t1 because at the rate gw2 wvw is bleeding players t1 is the only real choice, as it will stay populated.

I’m pretty simple. just want some dudes to fight on the maps when I log on. t5 had nothing on the BLs and EBG was often pretty empty and boring. t1 always has stuff to do. it’s great.

Again, how do you know?

While T1 does have dudes to fight on maps nearly all the time, so does T2. None of these responses to me prove otherwise. T1 and T2 has been where the non-NA players have concentrated for the majority of this game. That hasn’t changed and especially now that DB’s SEA population is back in T2 and SoS’s main OCX guild moved to DB.

I’ve been on FA twice, but eh, never active in my timezone. Just get rolled by massive zergs when I flip a tower with a few people, also got sick of the amount of skillful DB Condition PU mesmers and Condition perplex evasion thieves running around.

That sounds like a contradiction: “never active” yet DB zergs running around (aka dudes to fight). o_O

I’ll rephrase if you want to get nit picky….

“It’s never active for FA in my timezone”… I thought it was kinda obvious with basic English skills that I was referring to FA when I said it in the same sentence.

Gotta ask though, why is this an argument for you? Someone gave their opinion from their experience and you’re like “I didn’t see that, not true”… We haven’t degraded your opinion based off your experiences have we?

The common denominator at the moment based off our opinions is “Timezones”, we clearly don’t share the same timezones, therefor population and experiences are different, but the original comment was made as a generalisation that T1 is more active all around compared to other tiers, which it is. (but again, that’s my timezone)

Choovanski and I were talking about having enemies to fight. You did too. Thanks for stating that T2 also has enemies to fight during non-NA hours. /shrug

I never disagreed with you about enemies to fight, but like you said it’s restricted to certain timezones to which I agreed, and same to the other guy who came from T5 and said T1 is a lot more active, you were both right.

Not everyone tries to forum war, some do like to have a discussion but for the sake of this ending, you win.

Because once upon a time we used to have Guild v Guild battles.

We can’t even get a friendly dueling system because players don’t want to deal with people asking for duels, I doubt they could handle an invasion system lol.

People can duel any time they want. There are guild halls and private PvP arenas to do it. If it didn’t cost ANet any dev resources or QA time to add a dueling system that made it easier to zone to GH or PvP rooms, then sure, why not?

Guild Arena – Need a guild big enough to buy the Arena.
PvP – The equipment is restricted.
WvW – There’s no option to guest WvW servers to enable the duel.

Just like in WvW, most duels are spontaneous and not organised sadly. There’s not even a dueling Arena in PvE lands where people could go to spectate others and participate themselves, it’s just random luck you might find another roamer who is up for a duel.

We can’t even get a friendly dueling system because players don’t want to deal with people asking for duels, I doubt they could handle an invasion system lol.

I’d buy them for my light female classes, make a playboy bunny.

Fluffball.8307:

Rampage = kills
Conquering = Cap points
Siege master = Repair treb
Demo expert = Treb kill
Make it rain = Treb hits
Edit: Combat Medic = rezzes

I don’t notice them anymore so I am not sure it’s up to date.

Thanks for this post, I get conquering a bit and never knew what it was about.

The point of this thread is?

I wanted more bank tabs but HoT made most of my characters redundant with the Elite grind not being account bound so I just stripped down 12/17 characters and use them as glorified bank toons lol…

A ranger can have 5 or more pets out at one time…

Ogre runes – Summon rock dog (there’s also other runes that summon parrots)
Hyena – Summons ally
Sylvari Elite – Summon Fernhound
As mentioned above: Ogre pet whistle.

You might be able to get a 6th pet with a sigil, say demon summoning if it still exists – Summon a Flesh Reaver every 25 stacks, each Reaver lasts a minute and can summon more than 1.

It’s a rather nice PvE build if you need aggro taken off you.

It’s to allies….

You can confirm this yourself in PvP by looking at the stats “Healing to Allies” and “healing to Self” after a match.

Gaile Gray.6029:

Thanks for sharing. Can you, or others, give some examples of items that formerly were offered that you’d like to see again? I’m happy to take your ideas to the dev team!

Thanks.

Boxing Gloves.

You had them at game release.

Probably related to the bug where you are rooted in place after you dodge.

What’s wrong with losing a PIP if you lose?

This isn’t a kids football team where everyone gets a medal for participation.

Druids are easy to lock down? Hahahahaha

Will this include the “Wanderer’s” and “Clerics” Amulet?

They both have high toughness, and just like Settlers amulet that was removed, it’s my clutch against DH trap burst while still being able to participate in an engagement.

Wasn’t Bannok the commander who sat in SM for hours using his 30 man zerg to wipe 4-6 man roaming groups as they passed SM?

Or was that someone else on SBI?

As much as I wanna say get good when fighting a DH, I can’t.

I’ve started playing DH lately, and yes, people stay off point and pewpew thinking “As if I’m gonna walk onto point and get nuked” but little do they know I have my traps off point on route to point… Due to trap mechanics, I have 4 traps on the ground and 3 off cool down, if they don’t want to walk onto my static traps, then I f2 ontop of them with immobilise trait, hammer 5 (ring of warding) and drop all traps onto them where they can’t escape, followed up by a banish and pull through the trap that does damage for crossing it which in marauder gear will equal roughly 8k damage on it’s own if you don’t have stab available.

You would have to have an extra chromosome in you if you played DH and just sat on point with traps without using any timed pulls or repositioning for trap bursts…

Don’t know your class? Check out Metabattle.

Too lazy to tweak your own build? Check out Metabattle.

A streamer won an unlikely match up? Copy his build and make it meta.

Haha no, I’ve put over a few grand into this games WvW support and character building.

Not buying any more character slots until Elites are account bound and not buying anything at all until the money I put into this game starts seeing some WvW development.

Unless you have a stream you’ll never be the best, only streamers are pros.

Jana.6831:

This guy did this on our server.
He had all instruments one could get in this game and forced me to turn my volume up.
Fun times – they really were – just that we had to get SM all the time as he was afraid Skeletor would get it and it was his home castle, you know?

That must be an old photo, my disbanded WvW guild is in that screenshot. He Man was also awsome, just one of those players you’ll never forget.

Quickness and slow are animation effects.

Poison is a condition specifically designed for reduced healing therefor rallying is slower by 33% (look at poison tooltip, it says 33% reduced healing effects) why would it not consider rallying as a healing mechanic when you’re healing?

I like overload fire….

10 might, bit of damage and a fire field.

choovanski.5462:

server merges were needed a long time ago. this game has too many servers and too few players. it’s been a problem that has only been exacerbated over time, and the huge new BLs have made it so much more apparent.

Even EB is dead now, not just the BL… I sat in this keep for nearly an hour before I logged off. Can’t even do dailies lol

+1 for server merge.

6 servers all up is what we need, always in constant rotation with each other.

I thought GvG’s died out with the WvW focused guilds who got short shafted with HoT?

The only WvW guilds I see now are grouped together in front of empty enemy tower gates or grouped up in a camp walking yaks around.

Wouldn’t Americans and EU hate it if OCX was the only valid time zone though?

I’ve liked Clerics for a very long time

There’s a lot of good runes and sigils that complement many builds, but because ESL/Pro players have their own builds that people copy and make meta it’s hard to see any of the other components in use.

Good for you!

Me on the other hand stopped making characters after 17 due to Elites being soulbound and not account bound coupled into the slow grind of levelling them through WvW/PvP…

PvP really needs a Hero Point reward track.

build : 57479

Error: 42:0:9001:4433

Sometimes it lets me get to character select screen before disconnecting itself, my other internet works fine but in game delay is roughly 2-3 seconds.

Any fixes?

Guys, as much as I would love servers to be locked down at night time, I don’t think Americans would appreciate Australia being the only time zone…

Play DH with them… Having 8 DH laying traps is skillful PvP and what Anets vision is, right?

1000% what SchmendrickTheMagician said:

“Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

Was that a “The Last Unicorn” reference?

If so, my mind has been blown that someone else has even heard of this film.

Thats a quote of George Santayana, 1863-1952

George Santayana is who originally said it I believe but Schmendrick The Magician (in pic) also said it in “The Last Unicorn” movie, a 1982 animation film with Christopher Lee. He said a lot of deep stuff randomly but until now I had no idea some might be actual quotes.

Also just realized that there is someone with the username Schmendrick The Magician he was quoting, ironic coincidence.

Pay2Win is when you can get a statistical advantage over someone very quickly with $$$

Hello this IS A MMORPG, EVERY MMORPG has ALWAYS required you to get the expansion to stay relevant.

Your own argument on why the game isn’t P2W was dismantled by these 2 conflicting statements.

Pay2Win is when you can get a statistical advantage over someone very quickly with $$$ – So buying the expansion.

Hello this IS A MMORPG, EVERY MMORPG has ALWAYS required you to get the expansion to stay relevant. – Buy the expansion to win.

Please don’t compare it to other games, that’s like comparing a serial killer to a certain failed german artist who hates jews.

Already sick of Spirit Watch and Skyhammer map spams… So sick of them, I play my worst class or trolliest build every time it’s picked.

Can’t take those maps seriously, either just sit at orb spawn location and have fight scrims or just get on hammer platform and have fun knocking people off, what are “capture points”?
