How do you “destroy” a market?

With a plane.

Can we ask for exclusive hair colour options to also apply to hair accessories while we’re at it?

The only reason I’m not buying more outfits is because they’re not treated as armor skins, would have loved that wedding dress + bunny ears but as Miss Lana said:
As sad as it is, that’s their decision and we need to either decide to deal with it or leave it and move on. There’s nothing complaining will fix here.

As much as I want them too, they can’t be released again without releasing other old skins like Ghastly Grinning Shield or other various items, and that could potentially destroy the market while insulting veteran players in one bold move.

Destroy the market? Look at the Ghastly Grinning Shield. There’s almost zero movement in this market, there are 1-6 shields that get traded from one rich player to another rich player maybe once or twice per week. I don’t see how this should be a more desirable market form than one with a little more supply, lower prices and more players participating.
Who decides what ‘destroys’ a market? Rich players with Ghastly Grinning Shields? I don’t think so. Neither do I decide, of course. From an objective point of view rising prices are just as fine as falling prices.
The only markets that I’d consider as destroyed are Tiny Snowflakes, Thick Leather Sections and Medallions, since these are markets that are of use to almost nobody.

I do own the Holographic Shattered Dragon Wings and the Molten Gauntlets. And I don’t care if they re-release them… They weren’t even hard to get! All this ‘I play GW2 longer than you do’ is just bullkitten.
The only truly prestigious items ingame are Mini Liadri, the King Toad skins and the Storm Wizard skins. And maybe the Fractal Capacitor and the Luminescent Armor. If they’d add cheap ways to get them, only then I’d be kittened.

For 10 points the key words were!???

You guessed right! “Potentially” and “Other various items” …. Using Grinning Ghastly skin was but a mere example my friend

Also,

The only truly prestigious items ingame are Mini Liadri, the King Toad skins and the Storm Wizard skins. And maybe the Fractal Capacitor and the Luminescent Armor.

Mind explaining to me why PvE Living story event skins that happened last year are more prestigious than the ones from 3 years ago? Or how a fractal capacitor (which most ppl own) is again more prestigious than a grinning ghastly shield that 100 people can win from raffles from time to time? Personally I would have thought having a low chance of winning something in a blue moon would make it more valueable than a months worth of grinding for a skin that most people have but never use?
I know it generally comes down to personal opinion too which is why I’m curious to hear yours

Generally, prestige is associated with skill, or at least time poured into something, in the case of the fractal capacitor. The only thing the ghastly shield shows is that you got lucky with a drop. No one is impressed with someone who got lucky and had a rare skin drop, but Liadri and the SAD skins at least prove that you were skilled at something.

Huh.. Interesting point of view.

I’ve always been impressed when I see someone with a Ghastly shield, I transmuted mine when prices were cheap long before wardrobe, so seeing one on the field now days tells me 2 things: They had a lot of gold, or it’s another fellow veteran player that took part in one of the first Guild Wars 2 events.

If I remember right too, we didn’t have “recieve this for doing this achievement” reward system either, most of it was just RNG based, so if it was Liadri, you could complete the required task for reward 15-20 times before getting Liadri.

The closest thing to toxicity I see are:

Forum posts begging for nerfs on multiple classes instead of asking to buff classes that are lacking. need more booms and explosions, need Micheal Bay on the dev team instead of Tyler Durden….

Could use the Stronghold map for CTF, lord room to lord room?

If there was an option to select what finishers would rotate, I would easily buy more finishers from the Gem store

SixxxZ.4317:

Well the fact is, people care about appearances in GW2 its one of the main things people love this game for are skins. Almost ALL of the cool skins are from past events like how I played at Season 1 and got the fused gauntlets before and nobody else could get them. I felt like that wasnt fair to release something to people who also payed for the game and happened to start right after. I think they should add all items just like how they did with the fused guantlets and make them cost laurels or have another event while we are waiting for HoT to let people stack up on cool skins while we wait for HoT. I think people who payed for the game should get the same skins as other people espically when the cool skins on trading post are around 500-1000g which is about 200$-300$ in real money and would take months or years for regular people to save up in gold because of work and stuff that make them not able to play every day.

wrong… 1000g is like $75

HELLLLLO TO THE SEXIEST MAN ON GoM 3 YRS AGO

He might live somewhere else that’s not America, I for one am Australian and $50 worth of gems will charge my bank account about $71 due to AUD>USD or what ever so I would need $142 currently to reach 7,500 gems to convert to 1000g.

As much as I want them too, they can’t be released again without releasing other old skins like Ghastly Grinning Shield or other various items, and that could potentially destroy the market while insulting veteran players in one bold move.

snip

I play all time zones (schedule changes). Fun fact, I believe I’m in one of your pics lol.

You’re not understanding the point I’m making unfortunately. I don’t blame Db for having more people. I blame Db for how they USE their people. Let me sum up what I feel Db does that makes me (and 99% of others who face them for any period of time, if you think it’s just AR/Dh saltlords, head on over to gw2wvw.net and look at the threads involving db there, just as much hate comes from every other server) hate them:

1) Simply put, you’re tower/keep/camp huggers. Getting 99% of Db to fight without a tower/keep being involved is like trying to get a child to willingly choose veggies over chocolate. It just generally doesn’t happen. There are exceptions, ofc (such as when you largely outnumber people, and other rare cases like VP or GFC who will just straight up fight you).

2) You’re siege spammers. I’m not talking about your pugs, that’s obvious, your pugs spam more than other pugs, but I don’t blame your server for it’s pugs. I’m talking about your guild groups. One such example I can give (with pics if needed), is of 2 Db guild groups running 20+, fighting SotD solo (15ish), where they build: 2 trebs, 4 superior ballistas, 2 sup acs, 1 unidentified build site, and possibly more siege in nearby objectives. This is to spawn camp one lone guild group (and get 1 pushed by sotd through a portal bomb LOL).

3) You upgrade EVERYTHING. This wouldn’t be so bad if not for the first 2 points… but seriously, there’s a waypoint in one of our keeps on many days, and if not it’s because we bum rushed it unexpectedly before your MANY scouts/defenders/siege-enthusiasts could react. What we can expect to wake up to is one or many of our keeps t2, filled with siege, with scouts manning cannons everywhere.

IoW, Db is YB but without any of the talent that YB lucked upon as it rose through the ranks.

I understand what you’re saying, which is why I took pictures to show you that you guys did it too, but to further more prove what I said, this time I took photos of your guild doing exactly what you hate DB doing.

1st pic: Your guild + pugs using siege to shoot at our spawn

2nd pic: Your guild refusing to engage 1v1 but jumping and /laughing from keep instead.

Nate.3927:

I thought this said “hairdressing in wvw” and was wondering why somebody put this here.

Cosplay reasons.

Exp scroll to 80 instead of 20 would be nice.

Stealth Disrupter Traps
Supply trap to help locate where stealthed enemy is (works best in briar and other small towers)
Ranger has “Sic-Em”
Engie has trait + utility to help reveal I believe.
Necro has marks to help track invisibility.
Any traps from rangers and thieves will also help locate stealthed/hiding players.
If you’re crit chance is high and have superior sigil of fire or air then use aoe’s and look for procs
look for minipets
most of all, melee just swing auto attacks and watch your animations

I’m not, my opinion was formed by experience over 3 years of pure WvW.

---

I stopped reading at “I was PvFing back in 2012”. I’m not interested in internet flexing.

lolw0t then why bring up your many years of experience? If it’s relevant to your point, then me bringing up my equal amount of experience is just as relevant to my point.

Having a discussion with someone and internet flexing is two different things.

I’m just merely trying to point out that all servers blob and hide and what ever cries you hear about other servers. It’s not any servers fault that they have population differences between different time zones and the populous will play how ever they want, meaning there are so many more individual factors that come into play, eg: 1 person could siege all the towers in their corner, when an enemy zerg comes by, the few around the tower will hide inside, see the siege and use it most likely to grab some loot bags from their point of view, but from the enemy point of view it’s “omg that server and everyone on it is bad and sieges towers”, those perspectives comes from being the assaulter and defender of those situations and happens continuously across all servers in WvW at all time zones.

With recent transfers to DB, including myself anyone would understand why you would feel that DB would be blobbing a lot more as the population just grew projecting more numbers on the field and the “they blob more” feeling. I can’t speak for other transfers, but myself I had no idea more people were coming to DB (thankfully not in my timezone), my choice was made purely by http://mos.millenium.org/na/matchups/ in hopes DB would bump up a tier or 2, I also seen due to my time zone DB held a 180+ppt which was enough convincing to me that I would find some decent small group fights, and I have from both DH and BP.

You’re from DH, maybe you don’t play in the timezone where DB is outmanned and struggles to hold a keep against DH which is why your opinion is derogatory?

Nothing. It’s the hardest class in the game right now on top of engi.

Engi is NOT in a bad place, you have just to find the right build. i was saying the same thing like you after the last big patch but now some engi found very great builds.

Marauder Rampage elixir builds are all I see now.

I think diamond skin is fine, it’s not hard to take out 1700 hp or what ever, in fact I would say it’s next to useless unless you’re a bunker build.

I’m also pretty sure most players are forced into Fire/Water/Arcana at the moment too..

Every server cries the same about the other server doing what they do anyway.
I just spent the last 2 hours roaming EB, only a guildless warrior from BP would fight me solo, otherwise both BP and DH refused to engage me with out superior numbers, even at RQ I pretended to be afk after [sotd]? ported out and 4 people looked at me, edging closer bit by bit till I moved and they ported too…

Every server does it.

Yeah I have 3 years of pure WvW too (and my post history affirms that for the record, I was PvFing back in 2012 lol all you have to do is look at my post history). You’re still using bad logic. You’re continuing to make the same error, all servers do it, therefore Db is nothing special. But Db does it MORE.

I have experienced t2-8. I’ve fought YB. I’ve been on YB. I’ve fought SoR. I have fought SF dozens of times. I have faced the most hated, reviled, trash servers over and over and over. None of them compare to what Db is right now. 0 serious fight guilds (unless one of your recent transfers is one, idk, you’re getting a lot so it’s hard to keep track). Your guilds blob up, AJ, and virtually never fight alone. Your server upgrades literally everything, siege spamming, disable spamming, etc… Virtually no roamers except a legion of condi pu mesmers (I kid you not, 90% of my solo roaming encounters are condi pu mesmers from Db, it is not like this with other servers).

Case in point, check my picture. That is our bay, which is of course almost t3 because Db is upgrading it as we speak. What you are seeing is (and they’re not all completely caught in the pic because a lot are hiding in the back and on siege/in lords):

4 Superior Arrow Carts
RF guild raid (20ish)
AZ guild raid (20ish)
VP guild gathering (15ish)
Pug zerg (20ish)

Vs

SotD guild raid (15)
Pug zerg (10ish)

Want me to spoil how it turns out? Db doesn’t push onto us, at all. They sit there shooting the breach in the wall, until we realize it’s pointless and pull back to continue cataing another wall down. One of their guilds comes up behind SotD, which prompts sotd to take a better fighting position, and then finally the other 3 groups push onto our catas and we have to flee bay.

Now I’m not saying my pic proves my overall point. You’re right, we all blob, we all AJ, we all use siege, etc… I’m just giving an example of what fighting Db is pretty much ALWAYS like. If you can’t see that, then you need to server hop a bit more and face Db some and see how they really operate. Virtually everyone who has faced Db will agree with me, even if they don’t think Db is the worst, they will say they’re terrible (unless they’re currently on Db).

Personally I enjoy being on DB, only just transferred myself.

Not sure what people are going on about with this whole blob thing and no one fights nonsense, it’s the sorta stuff that happens on all servers…

“That 1 uplevel is hiding in a tower from me god that server is bad they all hide and never fight only blob” is nothing more than juicy tears

This is what Db apologists always say. Sorry, servers are not all the same, they’re not all equal. Yes, all blob, all hide, but some blob more, some hide more. Db blobs most. Db hides most. Db is the worst. Db is the least respectable. Db is truly a terrifyingly bad server, I would rather face any server in the game than Db.

I’m sorry, don’t want to turn this into a “bash Db” thread… I’m just saying you can’t reject criticisms with “oh all do it to some extent!”. All countries have corruption, therefore we’ll say the Soviet Union was no worse than other countries? That logic just doesn’t fly.

Did they do anything during last year’s aniversary other than a sale? I remember a lot of press about the various parts of Feature Pack 2 being talked about. We still had LW 2 going so maybe that’s why and this year without any distraction it’s so obvious.

I remember everyone gathering in the old LA getting ready for fire works show, I have no idea what happened with that one or when or what it was for, but that event was cool. Was that anniversary or LS event I accidentally got caught up in?

I think you’re thinking of the Dragon Bash, which happened in June 2013. That was also part of the living story and not related to the game’s anniversary or other real life events.

The lore behind it was that we’d defeated the Molten Alliance, got the refugees sorted out and stopped the problems Canach caused on Southsun so everyone thought everything was ok again, except the dragons, and the Captains Council arranged a celebration based on the Canthan Dragon Festival to celebrate everything the city and the people of Tyria had survived and that we could fight off the dragons too. Then of course Scarlet’s minions showed up and wrecked everything and provided the first hints that all these seemingly unrelated problems were part of something bigger.

Last year in August they had a new part of the Living Story released, but that also wasn’t anything to do with the anniversary.

They’ve never done anything specifically related to the game’s anniversary except the gem store sales and the first wave of characters getting their birthday presents. Those are based on the age of the character, not the game, but many people still have characters from the first day of headstart so it tends to happen at the same time.

Yer so I got caught up in some PvE thingy lol, it was still cool either way!

shuffles back off to WvW

I wreckon cele needs a nerf…

Most of my characters are cele builds, just has way too much going for it no matter what class you put it on. I actually feel like I have to use celestial.

The ONLY class I havent worked out a viable cele build for is thief, but it’s getting there

Understandable they want people to log in to check everyday, but money doesn’t grow on trees ready to be spent at a whims notice…

Logic seems flawed to me personally, they could guarantee some extra gem sales by not having a “buy gems and hope for the best” system.

Can we get Anniversary sale list on what days by any chance?

I usually get paid fortnightly by work, payday is tomorrow, I just want to know if there’s something worth buying gems for over the next 10 or so days… Not real keen on putting money into the game for chances at things when I could always use the money for more toilet paper or a 6 pack and what nots

If you’re interested in a similar guild but PvP focused, Casual [ties] is recruiting…

It’s a play for fun guild, win or lose no one cares.

Go to T4 or something…

Personally about to leave T2 for T4 myself or Dragonbrand, want small group fights back in my life.

If you have any buy orders on electro, I’d cancel them. I have a feeling taimi dye kits are gonna return sometime during the 3rd anniversary sale.

I really hope they do, I managed to get Blue and Green and want the rest lol

I bought gems yesterday hoping I could get this, if it wasn’t a bug that is.

Liston.9708:

T2 was bad before (albeit not as bad). It was a 2 server matchup. No one knew anet was going to change how server status was calculated (right after the move started). Who knows what would have happened if everyone knew that change was going to occur…

Maybe they did it on purpose after they seen the population from T1 move to T2 knowing it would most likely break T2 and force others to move down again and spread out the population even more.
Just think of the gem sales they have made already from all this transferring.

puts down tinfoil hat

Hey you guys asked what I could beat a D/D ele on, if you don’t like the answer, don’t ask the question

The key word being what I could do it on, I didn’t list any builds or professions I’ve seen other people do it on, although I’m sure there are plenty more if you stop playing meta focused builds, because my experience is, any build I have used off Metabuild besides cele necro has been completely destoyed by the ele.

Maybe that’s the real issue, there are no metabuilds for people to use that beats an Ele.

Anyway, most likely not checking this thread again, seems a few jimmies were rustled, back on topic and to my reason why Ele is not OP to help get this thread back on track.

Ele is fine, Burn is not.

Erasmus.1624:

IndigoSundown.5419:

Swiftness exists because speccing for it involves opportunity costs and trade-offs — just like every other buff in the game.

There is hardly any opportunity cost in GW2, man. Important actions to take in combat are “be invulnerable,” “deal damage,” “CC,” “move quickly/instantly with impunity,” and “self heal.” Any “good” build will comfortably slot all five and all five will be easy to activate or apply (dodge is even a form of the first one, and that’s available to all classes). Moving 33% faster doesn’t really help negate damage, juke a target, or hold a position in combat vs anyone with any sort of movement or teleport abilities (of which there are loads).

You also don’t mention how easy it is to get buffs in general. When are there not players running around with 20+ might, perma swiftness, 10+ seconds of retal, 50% uptime on vigor, etc. Protection and regeneration are alright and plenty common as well, but regen isn’t as good as just healing passively/pressing a heal button without a boon, and prot can’t compete with just being outright invulnerable via blocks, dodge, evades, and the actual thing labeled “invulnerability.”

IndigoSundown.5419:

Some buffs, of course, are more desirable than others.

Yes, but I’ve said how swiftness is perfectly worthless on many levels. Why not just cut the fat? Do you not want to go faster? You’re probably already effortlessly maintaining swiftness at the moment anyway. Does its existence even matter if you can just have it for free at all times anyway?

In PvP against a boon stripping build, I find it valuable to have swiftness to get from point to point and to have swiftness stripped from me rather than my stability or might stacks

When you reach a draw, the team with more personal points win.

What made Vapour’s 500-500 match stand out was that his team had more personal points despite having 1 less player.

I didn’t realize it was a competition

Draw.

Listing builds saying they can beat an Ele doesn’t make it true. What 1v1 video between 2 capable players would indicate that a power longbow ranger would even tickle a d/d ele in a 1v1?

Trap ranger that will destroy every class that attempts to kill you except anything that has potent condi remover or condi back at your face skills. Hok.

Like I said, those are builds that I can beat an ele with
no point in arguing the difference in our skill levels, if you’re not willing to put the energy and effort into learning ways to counter classes, then by all means keep screaming at the forums for nerfs.

I beat an Ele while I was on the phone pressing 111111111 and didn’t move a single step, I’m not going to go out telling everyone Ele’s are fine because I beat an Ele who was most likely not playing their best.

I put the rest of the context in there for you mate, if you’re able to do what you said then congrats, I won’t argue with that as that is what you’re capable of and what you have put the effort into achieving…

It’s futile to argue individual skill levels and experience with class, I for one know I will never be able to achieve Banditos or Second childs skill level with weaponless builds on thief which essentially makes the class look completely Overpowered, but doesnt mean it is. It just means they put the energy and effort into learning those specs.

Turns out I caused some drama lol…

I’ll be more specific, like I probably should have been in the first place.

Ele is not OP at all as a class, It’s burn stacking causing the distress to most people and the low CD on blinding ashes…. That doesn’t make the class OP, it makes burn OP…..

As for people laughing and wanting specs to beat a D/D ele, I’ll give you my celestial troll trap ranger build which WILL DESTROY any melee class that attempts to kill you

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQRAnY8fjEqQ7K2tCmrAXLGcEqP1P9SnDgJ/y7vNWrgT+VqeB-TZhAwAfeAAw2fAwRAozJBQcZAA

it’s stiff as all hell to work with, but guess what? It melts an ele, it melts thieves, it melts guardians (even sentinal), it melts wars…. Wanna know why it melts so hard? Because of burn, purely burn and 14+ stacks of it….

Other builds that I know I can beat an Ele with follows as such:

Celestial Signant Necro.
Condition Boon Corruption Necro
Kit engie with bombs
Celestial trap ranger
Condition ranger
Power longbow ranger
Celestial burn medi guard
S/D carrion ele
Zerker hammer/GS warrior with bulls charge
Power shatter mesmer
Condition shatter mes
Manipulation celestial mesmer
Condition boon ripping thief with caltrops on utility bar

Those builds I can beat a D/D ele with, some it’s harder than most but just like life, a little energy and effort into learning things will take you a long way, If you actually give it a go and put the effort into learning ways to counter other classes and builds and have the energy to keep trying until you succeed then you will start to reap the rewards of your hard work…

And yes it’s 10% PvP player, only phoenix after 7500 hours of the game.

I love seeing other celestial ranger builds, I have been trolling celestial trap ranger myself with a friend lately -

Just gave your build a shot, I ended up changing the geomancy sigil in torch to smoldering tho and using flame legion runes instead, I had fun and won a couple of games which is all that matters to me….

It would be nice if we could keep the same amulets but have 3 amulet slots accounting for:
Gear – 40% of stat total.
Weapons – 20% of stat total.
Trinkets – 40% of stat total.

Build diversity would greatly increase and traits could essentially be more viable across the board to cater for each playstyle.

Dear Anet,

Please nerf Scissors, rock is fine though.

Love, Paper.

(seriously though, roll a different class and build that counters it and stop yelling for nerfs on classes that beat yours, before you know it class skills will hit like a fly vs a human)

This is the dumbest argument ever, if one class has more of everything from mitigation to dmg to support in one build than most classes have in their whole kit nd only has one counter, a soft counter at that, it should be adjusted.

Stop thinking of it as l2P or l2counterplay, one class just should not have so much going for it. Geez

It wasn’t an argument it was a statement….

Ele has more than 1 counter aswell, it really is a learn to play thing… And I don’t mean learn to play your class, I mean learn to play the game… The game design really hasn’t changed in 3 years, it’s ALWAYS been build and class reliant on who will win, skill is a minor factor at most rates as this game was built and designed for casuals.

I don’t know, maybe it’s just my perspective having 2-3 of every class made and geared around PvP and WvW only.

I’m in a similar situation but I’m in T1 trying to transfer to T2 where my guild is current at and I have a friend who just picked up the game who is also trying to meet me in T1 or T2.

To all the people saying you can still get in during off hours. You can’t. The T1/T2 servers are currently perma locked 24/7. If you are on T1/T2, don’t bother getting your friends to start playing the game because they will never be able to roll on your server. Just tell them to skip the expac and go play something else.

LOL

so your guild was part of the YB stacking and you got cut off and now can’t overstack with them ? LOL

LOL just LOL @ this complaint

I honestly thought this whole thread was “we over stacked a server that will never make it to T1, now we are bored owning everything, can we go back to T1 now?”

Dear Anet,

Please nerf Scissors, rock is fine though.

Love, Paper.

(seriously though, roll a different class and build that counters it and stop yelling for nerfs on classes that beat yours, before you know it class skills will hit like a fly vs a human)

It’s the internet, everyone who doesn’t share similar opinions is a scrub.

Lol looks like a fake pic to me. Let me guess you used a tonic or endless cat tonic, took a screenshot in that screen then used some photo shop skills? :P

Lol the fact that it’s a totally different mini in the selection box pretty much proves my theory.

Dan.4398:

If you look just right of the ghost mini on the 5th row you can see the tiger icon or you can go ingame and see it yourself.
Also paul minis in the selected box dont change if you dont have the mini unlocked.
As for how to unlock it I guess wait for the next gemshop update?
Oh and also the mini tiger is about half as high as my max size sylvari so maybe it really is that size to an asura.

What he said

Hopefully they don’t change the size I love it lol and yes I have smallest Asura possible

Stumbled across a mini tiger that isn’t so tiny, I want it!

Does anyone know how to get it?

Fight Yaks Bend in it’s current iteration is too much to bare.

Mid fields siege, tower/keep camping, spawn camping and blobbing everywhere. 5 people trying to re-cap a keep get blobbed by 40…. no words.

I do not see a ligitimate complaint any where in this post. Are you suggesting that there is a problem simply because your losing? Or is the complaint that the tactics you are losing to are a problem? If the tactics are an issue, that is your problem, as I see it, not an issue with the game.

You either don’t play on T2 or if you do you play on YB, otherwise you would know there is no tactics, just coverage.

They recently got a large sum of T1 players who wanted easy wins every week for atleast 3 months or more on this so called “push to T1” scandal even though glicko ratings have a huge difference between T1 and T2, to make it harder for them to make it to T1, the T1 servers from what I hear are match manipulating to ensure YB never makes it there.

The 5 people taking the keep that was mentioned, that is pretty much all T2 can field up at the moment in Eternal Battle grounds, naturally YB is sick of owning almost everything and will respond to the first bit of action they get, there just usually happens to be 40-50 that respond to a 5 man group at the keep, usually followed up by spawn camping with siege and side exits blocked on the blue side to gank you after you fall and take that falling damage.

It is a compliment. Just the same when someone emotes you. Or throws siege prints on you.

Usually when someone throws siege on you, it’s because you’re the one who died…

If a couple of thieves gank me and fail, I ALWAYS /laugh, same goes towards PU perplex mesmers while they furiously cast Winds Of Chaos on me from that kitteny little staff auto attack that does absolutely kitten all….
