What could you possibly fill 12 bank tabs with?

Anything and everything that doesn’t allow stacking.

The question was more along the line of how and why someone would need that much space unless they were a serious hoarder (ignoring items being held as investments).

I’ll admit it’s borderline hoarding, but with all the keys I’ve bought and BL salvage kits I have they alone take up 2 bank tabs, used to be 3 but I’m eventually getting through em. Then there is another half tab of just boosts. Then I have 3 tabs of ascended gear (which will get salvaged!!!!!!) and another 2 tabs of WvW gear (that I can finally salvage soon!!!!) so that’s 7/12 tabs taken up before the gear of 19 toons are put in to effect.

There’s also all the toys, tonics, royal air ship passes, sigils, runes, foods, siege, ambrite fossil skins, other skins, crafting mats that don’t have a mats material storage, ascended insignias, ascended recipes, PvP armor boxes, PvP weapon boxes and so on…

3 years of the game and bank is maxed + toons as mules, I plan on playing this game for another 3 years if possible, would really appreciate more bank space to accommodate for that.

(I’m confused as to why people are against the idea, it doesn’t effect anyone in a bad way what so ever? If you don’t need it, then great you saved money! But I needs it, and so do others apparently.)

Can someone post this trapper build by any chance?

Sounds like fun!

You can also click on enemy, go to top left corner party tab and select “invite” or “join” if they are already in a party.

Ayrilana.1396:

What could you possibly fill 12 bank tabs with?

I can see it happening easily. I’d be in the same boat as the OP, if it didn’t go the more economical rout of buying character slots to use as mules.

OP, you should really consider using mules. Much higher space/gem ratio if you fill them up with the cheap 20-slot candy corn bags.

I do that plus I have personal guild banks and it’s really frustrating that I have to go through 4-5 characters to find 1 thing. that frustration inspired this post in the first place :’(

Can we please lift the 12 bank tabs to something higher or remove the cap all together?

As someone who has played for 7114 hours over 1000+ days, I have not only capped out the 12 bank tab upgrades but I have also filled it completely and now have to use some of my characters and personal guilds as bank tabs.

I don’t know if many other people have this issue.

(side note- would also be nice if character A could take out character B items from bank to salvage or help when trying to reorganize your bank)

Play the game the way you enjoy it.

I “multiclass” due to boredom, I’m not a pro on any class, but I can definitely hold my own on all classes.

The bonus to “multiclass” is that if you set em all up with your PvP build, it allows you to switch between classes to help counter enemy teams..

EG: I get on mes, my team has a mes already but enemy team is all melee and boon reliant, so I switch to my boon corruption blind/chill spamming necro.

I want to buy it, first I need to see WvW become PvP focused.

Honestly I would say DH…

It’s nice to have allies who fight with you.

GoM-FA-CD-IOJ-DB-DH are the servers I’ve been on.

GoM: Has a nice community, crazy at times though.
IoJ: Had a nice community, constantly getting thrashed forced an exodus to SBI and various servers
FA- Got thrashed by YB and another exodus
CD – was there for a week, not a friendly community, lots of trolls and abuse.
DB – VERY FRIENDLY server, but if you roam, it’s horrible to have 4 allies building AC’s in a tower while they watch you 1v3, you will get no help in terms of roaming fights.
DH – friendly server, lots of roamers both solo and small parties, still yet to see someone hide in a tower that’s not me. Only downside is that it has DB, so open field fights are rare, you will most likely see what happens in the pics below.

(of course these are just my observations from the time periods I was on server)

Miracle.1365:

Nightcapping (1AM – 4AM) and Morningcapping (4AM-8AM) are ridiculous. I just wanted to reminder this situation and maybe Anet decides to do something about it.

Something needs to change in favor of fights, so PvDoor is not that impactful on PPT.

Exactly, I’m sick of going to bed only to find out the Americans have night capped everything, I assume they only PVD anyway.

Bring back PPK!

I use the reflection from the trait quite a bit in WvW.

I still solo roam alot….

Just because you don’t solo roam anymore doesn’t mean others don’t.

(There is a tonne of fights to be had as solo roamer, just be one of the few gamers who isn’t scared of virtual death)

I’m constantly watching the map when roaming, double checking camp supply lines to make sure designated yak is alive…. Yaks are awsome at giving away enemy locations, you can see them being pulled in a camp before they die or if they die on a simple journey or with vet guard then you know strait away.

I like all the shiny explosions

Sometimes it reminds me of Geometry Wars

SpellOfIniquity.1780:

Yep, tbh the fault lies only on DB for their constant blobs and lack of roamers. I refuse to do anything solo against DB because the only people I find are in a blob. I’ve gotten so tired of being matched with them I’ve started to think about making a Thief just so I can roam again.

The best thing I can suggest for you is to use a highly mobile profession or one that can stealth, lurk around SMC and supply camps and wait for baddies to walk by. Otherwise you’re not going to find any fights and will be blobbed if you try anything in their territory. I love yak slapping but as soon as they catch on, which is after about 2 – 3 yaks, they start zerg escorting the yaks and chase me across the map with 10+ people. So I feel your pain. DB needs to move up a tier already and go away.

This is in direct response to all the DH mez and thief groups. It’s not fun when your server (DH) is constantly hanging around our third taking out singles.

This is WvW… the W represents WORLD.

It’s no fun when 2 people can keep a group in a tower glued to siege over a sentry..

This is WvW not PvE.

(I was on DB for a week but left due to the amount of times I would fight 1v3 and see 4-6 allies in tower watching instead of helping)

On topic: I’m new recruit to DH and since joined [Sold] and [VOID], both fun guilds to roam with, nice to have allies who want to fight and rez my fat bum every few minutes lol

I just got fraps for recording, would anyone know a decent editing software for AVI files?

Features I’m after:

Cropping, slowmo/fast forward effects and option of adding own music.

I use windows 8.1

What’s the issue guys? I can break a Diamond Skin with settler amulet. Just prepare a burst.

This hurt my brain…

Why is that?

How do you burst with Settler? What is the point of your build? Just wut..??!

Like I said before make Stoneheart the power version of Diamond Skin and give it a couple days for twice the complaints.

It’s a dps conjure elementalist with Diamond Skin.

Settler dps conjure and Diamond Skin that’s sounds creative. I don’t get it though you can’t have settler and dps in the same build throw in “prepare a burst” that’s an attempt at mindfk.

Ele burn build OP, 20+ AoE stacks of burn OP.

I main a mesmer for WvW roaming, I used to main ranger roaming but small zergs became massive omniblobs that would chase you from durious to Anz… It gets old real fast.

Taking a stealth class, I can stealth and let the zerg run past or they don’t bother chasing, it’s sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better than being chased around the map by 20+ people.

If the playerbase could refrain from zerg chasing roamers and get back to small group roaming then maybe I could play a stealthless class again, but safety in numbers I guess.

Don’t play 100% condition builds.

How about you don’t play 100% power.
But hey, you’re not fretting because there isn’t a single trait in the game that works the same as Diamond Skin does.

Before the inexperienced players say it, no, Stone Heart is no where near the same level… it doesn’t completely counter Power based builds.

Diamond Skin is a poorly designed that needs a rework.

If you’re gonna quote me, atleast be on topic or don’t put words in my mouth.

sephiroth.4217:

Don’t play 100% condition builds.

I play condition builds when I want an easy win, when a diamond skin ele pops up it will eat me inside out that he denied me my easy win but I won’t go calling for a nerf on it.

I don’t play 100% power. Please read what is written or stop cutting out context for your own sake. It immediately discredits anything you have to say.

I can say it again for you in bold in case you have reading problems or eye sight problems.

@Sephiroth
My initial notion remains.

If Stone Heart was on the same level as DH then YOU will be incredibly anoyed (because you use power builds too) as well as everyone else. That would have a larger effect as power is meta.. not condi. Then I would be giving you the same response,
“Don’t play 100% power.”

By the way, next time elaborate your original paragraph instead of posting it 3 times. If you reitterate what you’re trying to say, then 1) you wont sound so insulting and 2) people will understand you better. Once you work in a professional environment and develope public relations, you’ll understand.

You’re the only person who seems to have misunderstood mate.

It was very clear what I said to everyone else, you’re just looking for an argument and I’m not interested. My point still stands.

(I do work in a professional environment, I have children too and they, just like you, feel they are entitled to everything apparently and want everyone else to fix things for them)

But for elaboration of the obvious: If you’re 100% condition and a diamond skin ele is your enemy, DO NOT engage 1v1 or bother with that cap point, move on and help elsewhere, there are 4 other enemies you can beat up… wait for team fights and condi nuke them if you must, keep rotating and applying pressure else where. Playing the game logically will far outweigh demanding nerfs because 1 profession can counter you, who counters you after you remove DS? not alot unfortunately, 3 years of the game and people can’t accept that rock beats scissors.

Now as for what I said: I play condition builds when I want an easy win, when a diamond skin ele pops up it will eat me inside out that he denied me my easy win but I won’t go calling for a nerf on it.
I generally play condition builds, it’s lazy and I find it hilarious I can stack 20+ burn stacks, when a diamond skin ele pops up, I do what I said earlier, I wait for team fights, I rotate and nuke everyone else instead. It does annoy me that I’m hard countered, but I accept that and adjust my playstyle.

NOW AS FOR SH BEING ON THE SAME LEVEL:: I would again adjust my playstyle, wait for ele to leave earth or wait for a condition player to take off 1700 hp or what ever before I burst, I would apply pressure to the other 4 players and keep rotating…

I wouldn’t call for nerfs, but then again I enjoy earning my kills and the most interesting part about the game to me is the fact you have to constantly adjust your playstle every game to be effective.

(if you’re trolling, nice work, I feel like that explanation was unnecessary)

Ok mine is up and workin again, thanks Anet!

took me over 12 hours just to log into the forums…..

Having same issue, posting on behalf of friends on facebook from Australia too, we can’t log in to the servers.

Any chance Anet could release some sort of info on fix? Or does anyone know a fix?

Meta is condition mesmer and thief…

Naturally the counter would be DS ele or more perplex PU mesmers.

(in terms of roamers anyway)

Don’t get down about wipes, don’t blame pugs for wipes, try and explain everything you do no matter how simple so everyone is on the same page, use TS, carry siege, think ahead of what you’re doing, be creative!

It makes sick reading most of these comments who don’t want to fight enemies in WvW.

You wanna say we destroyed your game mode? Ok, well thanks for turning WvW into another regular PvE map.

The bigger the Blob, the less your personal skill counts towards the victory. If you want to be proud of your PvP Skills (talking about all those GvG Guilds), dont throw 30 man blobs at each other. Go into sPvP and fight 5v5 Customs or if 5v5 is too small for your Guilds taste, go to OS and fight 8v8 GW1 Style or 10v10 or whatever.

In those places you don’t interrupt the flow of the WvW Matchup of your Server with taking 30 Spots of People that care about the score instead of useless killing.

I’ve been a solo roamer for the last 2 years, running around a map killing people is what I do… I don’t know why people think it doesn’t help, but the commanders I report zerg movements too seem to like the info, I think the word is scout. And I think scouts were a huge part of warfare in medieval times, so was raiding and killing people.

Do you go to maccas for a salad or go to a brothel for a hug? Then why come to WvW and treat it like another PvE boss train? There is already like 30 maps for that.

It makes 0 sense why you would go to an open world pvp area and say things like “we dont want to fight, only PPT”, That’s essentially saying “I’m only here to fight tower lords and if 1 person tries to kill us for taking the tower or a guild wipes our group then they are bad and interrupt WvW flow”… SERIOUSLY!!!!???

I’m also going to point out, that scouts and small roaming groups help a hell of a lot more than you think, it’s the scouts and small groups who rock up to Ogrewatch and ballista all the siege down before telling comm it’s clear and easy to take before we move onto the next tower to ninja or we sit between enemy spawn and our pugmander to fight off enemies which essentially means less resistance for those people who “don’t want to fight”.
It’s mostly the scouts running around upgrading stuff, it’s mostly the scouts sieging things, it’s mostly the guild groups who switch maps to defend things and it’s mostly the scouts who make call outs and switch maps for help.

Now in light of all the help these people provide for killing stuff for you, are you still willing to say they interrupt WvW flow and don’t contribute? I’m sure guild groups wouldn’t mind watching 10 people zerg bust your 30 uplevels as you try and take a tower, would you then rage at them for not helping? Or are you gonna get angry you dont have these guardian angels on map for you anymore because you chased em all off to support your carebare embroided bag addiction?

It makes sick reading most of these comments who don’t want to fight enemies in WvW.

[…] when half your team and half their team is rangers, the water node fights never end. When a ranger is out of water, you had to try and spike before they made it to the water where they would essentially become immortal. […]

Yeah, I see your point, but rangers are the most annoying when talking about rally, not only underwater but also on land. The difference between them is that underwater fights you can move while you are drowning. Perhaps remove the ability to move while drowning could work on structured pvp.

I think maybe an option to stomp like you can on land, the pet rez is too much underwater

nacario.9417:

My little feedback is that AP is the one thing that makes a difference between a new player and a vet. Its a nifty little thing GW2 has which I think its cool, a nice way to see n reward whos been with the game for long.

3 years of WvW and PvP and my AP is lower than someone who bought the game 6 months ago and does PvE only.

Does that mean I’m the new player?

WvW is a PvE/PvP area, food is apart of the game.

If it was a PvP map with no karma events and no wildlife/mobs everywhere I would have a different opinion, but it’s PvE with the ability to kill enemies at the end of the day.

If it was a PvP only zone, I might not have to solo chase 1-2 people around a map into their towers, just to camp out and wait for them to flip a sentry or camp before engaging in combat.

Please don’t add water levels again…

Or am I the only one who remembers people switching out for rangers and having endless battles in the water with no caps?

Takes 3 people to kill a ranger under water, when half your team and half their team is rangers, the water node fights never end. When a ranger is out of water, you had to try and spike before they made it to the water where they would essentially become immortal.

Please do not add water maps without balancing that first.

I’ve been playing this game for over 3 years (longest break 3mos) and I’m still a noob. fml.

If a WvW focused player gets an invite can you please post feed back somewhere on the forum?

I got scorpion wired off a tower in WvW but instead I flew up high in the air and then fell to my death with fall damage

There isn’t a cap, the stats are bugged when it stops at 100%…

I was having similar thoughts when compiling a burn build but I noticed if I added an extra 30% manually to 100% duration, the stat would stay 100% while the damage tips on skills would increase duration.

For ELE:
Givers weapons – 20%
Burning Precision Trait – 20% burn uptime
Rare Veggie Pizza – 40%
Toxic Crystal – 10%
Smoldering Sigil – 20%
Sup sig of Malice – 10%
Sup rune of Balth – 10% + 15% + 20% = 45%

Total burn uptime is: 165% burn duration increase, it will reflect on your skill toolbar, but not on the stats in Hero Panel.

Are you sure there isn’t a cap? the wiki lists a cap of +100%. Even if tips list more than that, it could just be accounting for situations where the opponent has -% duration. So if you have 165% duration and fight someone with no -% duration modifiers, the duration would be capped at 100%. But if you fight someone with -40% condi food, you’d still be dealing +100% duration since your net stat would be 125%.

It’s kinda like how movement speed is capped at +33%, even tho there are certain effects and traits that list +50%. You could see a benefit from the extra +% if someone casts a movement-impeding condition on you like cripple or chill.

I’m saying there is no cap on the skill bar if you look at it manually but there is on the hero panel. I don’t know if the hero panel is bugged or the skill bar.

Kravick.4906:

Good for them. Instead of crying about “OMG XYZ IS OP NERF IT!”, they adjusted their tactics and roflstomped them because of it. This is how players should be.

Changed 1 word to 100% agree with you lol

Everyone with a mesmer has portal trolled atleast once…

I did it to 14 omegas on a k-train in wvw, silly buggers walked off 3rd floor sm

It’s been a while since I was bored enough to pretend my broomstick is a skateboard, but the new LA is really fun for doing spins off ledges and grinding small stuff, also a few gaps to climb and clear…

Also if Anet reads this: Can we please have some sort of trick board or something? A skateboarding roleplaying guild would be fun as hell.

This has to be a troll thread, even asking the question “when is it right to interrupt a duel” shows somewhere in the back of your mind you know it’s not polite, otherwise you wouldn’t need to ask.

My character making bad puns everytime I do something.

I’m kinda happy they forced it in my face, it told me that I either need to buy the expansion to keep up or leave the game when it goes live.

Burning is OP, ele can stack and maintain 20-29 stacks of AoE burn for 10s on a rabid burn build.

The build is a baseline, what ever changes you feel need to be made to the build are your opinions on what would suit your playstyle better.

I hope others will enjoy the build as much as I have for mid support.

I’ve been doing really well with my cleric/settler rezmancer on this map, I can heal lord for 6-9k if I need too, but most importantly if lord falls, I can port his kitten to me just like allies who get downed.

My position is:

Start with supply fight, help allies push a lane until our outer goes down, then switch to defensive play and keep lord alive with various rez skills.

Rezmancer build for anyone interested in support: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRAQNBIhZ6kGRozGs8GwvGg/GcUNUzPYljA5AEABL9FmhSA-TZxHABOVGo2DBgAnBAAeAAXs/AA

TheOpethian.4329:

Mesmers are scary but are not easy to play in the least bit, anyone who thinks they’re a face roll class has never touched one.

Mesmers are a faceroll class, even before the PU buff. I made 3 of them. They are the most forgiving class in terms of making mistakes coupled with high damage spikes from stealth.

It is possible to down other classes without ever leaving stealth. Not even a thief can do that, and they are meant to “excel” at 1v1 and stealth.

Liston.9708:

Based on what? I think it would be cool too, but rank is so out of whack post eotm….

Hopefully they can tie to AP somehow….

Earn X achievement for Y finisher in Z game mode.

EG for WvW: Yakslapper – Yaks trample you

Eg for Eotm: I don’t know eotm, but I’m sure there are AP that can only be earned there. So have a finisher for those achievements.
