Guild Wars 2

I’ll add this one too, it was a few weeks ago but I was dumb enough to give my serial number + character name away…

Sublimatio.6981:

Couldn’t you just ask him to leave? Where are your manners?

It’s the internet…. Ontop of that, the whole thread.

Totally agree…

I think it’s disgusting that paper beats rock, especially when paper mechanics are hard countered by scissors.

1s of chill and 1 boon removed sounds powerful indeed.

UBcktieDL.5318:

I don’t mind the chill, it is powerful but does not lock you in place like immob, the problem about this is the damage. It is always combined with the close to death trait (+20% dmg against <50% HP enemys) so it hit’s like a truck. Bonus points if procced from down state.

Helps if you read the post before commenting.

I’m pretty sure he did, you just took your own context from it.

UBcktieDL.5318:

Chill of death: inflicts 1s of chill on low health enemys and removes 1 boon. No longer deals dmg. 5s icd
Would be still powerful but removes the crazy dmg spikes.

If you read further than a few lines before commenting you would have seen those quotes I put up.

I used to que from hotjoin matches, they stopped that so between games I use the 5 minute que to re dye my armor a few times

Shadey Dancer.2907:

A dev did say in the wvw section of the forums that they would be looking into changing the current wvw achievements to something more realistic. That was over eighteen months ago (approximately) so dont go holding your breath

They changed Master of Disaster (25k supply used or something) to “use 10 supply to build siege”

A while ago, ele’s had a nerf/bug fix that would stop us casting from mist form (meteor shower mostly)….

I’ve recently worked out some specific skill orders that allow you to channel skills and still damage people while in mist form…

The lowest hitting damage I will say is s/d build, can use earth 2, reactivate for the rock throw and mist form while flinging rocks + f3 for fresh air…

Is working out specific skill orders like this considered as advanced class mechanics or as a bug/glitch?

aspirine.6852:

I dont see the problem here.

I do, his map is on the top right of his screen!!!!

As for siege placement, just assume it’s “working as intended” if it hasn’t been fixed after 3 years….

The focus of WvW for me at the moment is equipping a PvE title like “Hero Of Lions Arch” and then using my 2k+ wvw rank to look like a zergling before I slam a shark finisher on them…

Then they whisper me and rage that medi hammer is not a wvw build.

GREAT IDEA!!!!

to make it fair for roamers: IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 3 PEOPLE ON YOU THEN YOU ARE INVULNERABLE – this is to prevent commanders using 50 man zergs to chase roamers.

azizul.8469:

you have just suggested to ANET to kill one of their source of income : server transfer cost.

This.

The whole reason for servers currently is to generate a revenue from the population that neglects to throw away money for fancy pix-elated outfits or PvE based scenarios… (my conclusion on that is Toys bought from gem store don’t work in WvW)

Yes make another nerf, then somethin else will stand out as “OP” then we will nerf that and continue to repeat this process until there is nothing left to nerf.

I hate being OCX, always get short stick.

Attunement swapping is the same as weapon swap and should be treated the same.

Lots of reasons…

To sum it up nicely I would say that the Guilds Wars 2 end game was not intended to be World vs World….

Just about all patches are PvE and Living Story based

urieldhynne.2743:

Because new/casual players feel too weak, please also, feel free to remove ascended items from WvW because I don’t want to farm it and I feel like 10/20% weak.

WvW players can’t be bothered farming a game mode they dislike to be stronger? psh who cares!

PvE players can’t be bothered farming a game mode they dislike to be stronger? we better fix that!!!

Ark Bladesteele.2943:

Wow. That is so freakin weird looking. Look at all those narrow paths! The whole map is practically a choke point!

I can’t help but think that they really missed out on a huge opportunity to use the new gliders there (and yes, I know why they didn’t.. I wouldn’t want to be the guy who had to prevent/fix any exploitable points).

It looks like the only area for open field fights is in the middle in what I hope is a Forrest?

On the other hand, I may be one of those aholes who ends up camping these narrow paths with superior ballistas, anyone wanna make a guild dedicated to ballista farms?

Spurnshadow.3678:

what will be the unintended consequences? For example, will it now be too easy to upgrade to T3? Just set it and forget it? I’m thinking of the lower tier servers who have almost no one on overnight except one. They may wake up to every map being fully upgraded. If that’s the case, will they still release it as is, or change the system in some way despite the fact that they’ve already presented it to us?

Well see.

lolol can you imagine a dead tier or server waking up everyday to flip fortified towers with a couple of people vs a couple of people with siege?

Congrats to Anet for yet another implementation that forces a group of players to pay for a better experience, I need to do my business management course with them instead lol

I don’t want to see it go as a lot of my toons rely on the applied fortitude, but relying on a trait is the definition of OP.

/15chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaars

ChoChoBo.6503:

Currently, there’s two ways to stop an enemy from upgrading, that’s to stop their supply (ie capture camps) or to just capture the tower/keep.

With the update to the upgrading system, there’s now only one way to stop a world from upgrading and that’s capturing the tower/keep. Capturing camps only delays your enemies’ upgrades.

I think they should, at the very least, add another mechanic to completely stop an enemy’s upgrade.

What do you guys think? If you agree, what other mechanic could you see them implementing?

edit: changed the title to something more suiting, imo

I think they made it harder for roamers to contribute to their server, sniping yaks and flipping camps to stop an upgrade on an important enemy structure to make it easier to flip later is out of the question, if you want to contribute you will have to group up and zerg…

Now in saying that, being forced into zerging or group work to contribute to the server is going to seperate a lot of players, there’s already a lot of complaints about “roamers not doing anything except killing people” .

Taxidriver.2043:

like u havent notice WvW is for pvers? just like eotm. Good news is Blade & Soul is coming out this winter.

It makes me sad that Anet fails to realize that there are 4 categories of players within their game…

WvW players
PvP players
PvE players
All of the above players.

Dawdler.8521:

I just realized something…

Did Arenanet just accidentally show us how they plan on solving borderland coverage issues?

Think about it. Borders being “at peace”. Oh so its 12:00 in the middle of the day and only EB has players on it? Well then 3 borders are at “peace” and doesnt provide any score income. In the afternoon, 1 border goes to “war” again as the population increases and in the evening all borders are at war.

.
.
.

Hahaha nah they cant be that clever can they?

Can they?!

So only Americans and “Prime Time” players would be able to access the borderlands?

There was a time where siege wouldn’t decay and the siege placement cap would get maxed out denying anyone from any team the ability to drop siege…

On GoM a few years ago, against HoD and DH there was a day that GoM maxed the siege cap and built a few golems forcing the enemy teams to PVD everything and be defenseless…

1 hour decay timers are short, but they are needed.

Deli.1302:

Here’s what would happen:

1)Kills the market on single use potions
2)Loss of a currency sink in the long term
3)Anet loses money

Unless they make an endless version cost over 1000g, it would be a stupid business decision. Especially since players have proven they are willing to pay for the current ones.

They might have considered it a great deal more if not for your point 3.

I nominate Second Child

Active WvW player, active forum user and level headed for 3 years now.

pepper.6179:

well, why can’t anet add more incentives for wvw other than tournaments?

Not all of us require incentives to play a game mode we enjoy…

sephiroth.4217:

~~~~~~~ A Tuxedo ~~~~~~~

Holy hell I got that Tuxedo!!!

Thanks Anet.

Guys we are getting a little off topic at the moment, so far Ellieanna.5027 and Unkillable.5604 are the only people to provide something helpful, yes I understand I missed a few things like a tiny logo somewhere in my mail or what ever and after 10 hours at work then having my missus talk to me in one ear while I log on I am going to need “the obvious” pointed out to me tryin to process the days kitten summed up in 5 minutes…

I need helpful information, or a Dev to confirm that giving away my Serial Number, Email and Character name is not enough to high jack an account.

I got mail about account being shut down so I followed the links and gave them my Guild Wars 2 account details but then it asked me for credit card details so now I think it is a hacker who just gained access to my account…

Maybe the photo can help Anet verify it was them or maybe someone can tell me how to prevent my account being hacked as I already gave them my Serial Number, Email and a Character Name.

It doesn’t need a nerf or a change….

It’s a team game, and if you have a problem with classes being able to synergize together to create stronger effects then you should try playing a game for solo players, like solitaire.

But, we could always nerf venom and wells then nerf fields + blasts cuz dark field + blast is OP anyway right?

mysticque.6182:

Orochimaru.4730:

What can we do? Who here in the top tier servers will be willing to pay 1800 gems to go to lower servers?

This is the making of both anet’s negligence and our own greed.
If you dont like it pay the 1800 gems, cos that’s the only way we’re ever going to get fresh matchups! By moving server ourselves!

actually thats an idiotic suggesstion. who would actually pay 1800 gems just to be on another server that might actually have the same symptoms.

People with jobs… Or people who don’t wait for other people to fix their problems for them.

My transfer list: GoM, FA, GoM, IOJ, GoM, CD, IOJ, FA, IOJ, FA over 3 years now?

Was it worth following the fights? Yes, yes it was.

No. This is not even remotely close to the same thing.

Its exactly the same thing.

With no servers – meaning no communications and no community – your idea would:

1) Kill all guilds larger than a couple of people

2) Kill WvW completely

3) Be like a larger scale sPvP version of EoTM.

GG.

You’re jumping to conclusions that are not necessarily true.

You cannot suggest “I think we should change X system because……” and then blindly accuse someone with a opposing opinion as being the one jumping to conclusions.

Actually I can. I have suggested an alternative, of which I am convinced it is not worse (as the person I commented on claimed), but better. I have not stated that it IS better, I have only given him another perspective on the matter.

Also, if you would look, I am not the one who first mentioned this idea, I simply am restating his idea. The person I commented on claimed that change x would be bad objectively (“it will kill WvW”, “it will kill all guilds”), while that’s just his opinion.

So yeah, I think I can criticize anyone I want if they are talking nonsense, and I don’t need your permission, thank you very much!

And a TLDR of my reply is: Community structures are perfectly POSSIBLE apart from servers, which is what Dawdler tried to deny.

To me it was like he was trying to say “Actions have Reactions”… EG: Can’t punch someone in the face then cry wolf when he punches you back.

Crimson Clouds.4853:

Why would you assume that?

We didn’t get any mesmer/chronomancer themed outfit- the Exemplar Attire/Countess Anise outfit was a response to a community outcry.

Most outfits are also datamined weeks in advance.

that new Outfit as well as the outfit before it seem Mesmer themed….

the Balthazar outfit is heavily warrior themed, yet we don’t have the Warrior elite specialization yet, it was just a coincidence, they also don’t have the manpower to push out a new outfit every week for the next 7 weeks

Balthazar outfit is 1st outfit to ever look good on a Charr, to me that makes it Charr themed

I think outfits should be reworked into individual armor pieces.

Buy outfit for 800 gems or buy individual items from the outfit for 150- 200 gems each.

Scryeless.1924:

I have seen this time and time again in game with friends and guildies. I have known people that would get ascended box drops every other week consistantly. Meanwhile since ascended items were released I have picked up 2.

I’ve filled nearly 2 bank tabs up with just ascended ring drops from WvW, few weapons (mostly rabid) and about 9-10 armor boxes…. HOW HAVE YOU ONLY HAD 2 DROPS!!!

Personally I wish I could TP most off my kitten off lol

You’ll be amazed who plays this game… People of all ages, married couples and even a 14 man guild that is all family members only lol

Lord Kuru.3685:

Perhaps the cap should be lowered another 10% since the first 10% didn’t fix the lag?

What about lowering cap by 100%? That has a 100% chance to fix the lag.

maybe 95% ????

Atleast then we will play WvW the way it was intended, as an eSport 5v5v5.

I want to be able to spam 1 on my staff guard against mesmers and not have any consequences, thankyou!

Engineers are great for zerging, just like thiefs are great AoE healers!!!

Of course there are classes who can do it a lot more efficiently but meh

Wait. Not even!
It’s the melee rangers that are the strongest spec for 1v1’ing:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPS21-PMbh0

Man, and ANet’s giving buffs to both necros and rangers. We should go and raise awareness about how OP those classes are.

No, that’s just Charrmagedon/GW Fox.

He needs a nerf.

No dude, it clearly represents all ranger players. Here I will link some more videos to convenience you.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK2hQFrU0hc

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKjR6DhC-Yg

kitten rangers. So OP.

Man it’s just sickening to watch how ANet allowed such unfair, challenge-less, and OP things to go on in their game.

Guess you really never face a good condition thief in wvw before…

Oh wait, maybe you’re the one who’s playing it

Likewise, guess you never faced a good ranger/necro before.

Good Rangers died out when longbow got a stealth buff…… Pugs rolled rangers after that and were extremely bad so Anet buffed longbow again and changed the general use of ranger to be more “user friendly” ….

Every week people move up tiers as WvW slowly dies out.

Best bet is to pick something T3 and higher.

Send a log, best you can do, I was put in similar situation…

Sold friend skins, turns out friend was a hacker? I dunno he might have been, but my gold was stripped and at the moment I only log on to check it’s been put pack, it hasnt yet so I just log back off and buy some more LoL skins and play that instead.

After 6k hours on this game I need reasons to leave anyway

kaat.8237:

Kinda curios why your friend wanted two of the same skin. Once they are unlocked, they can be used on any staff, any number of times. And getting a transmutation charge is a heck of a lot less than 100g.

To sell off and make some gold, we are trying to make incin to sell and all we need is the precursor, but I’m a little worried now because if he sends me the 1500g we agreed on it could be taken off me before I manage to pay another friend the 1100g I owe him for sunrise

There’s quite a few of us helping eachother out by sending eachother various things that we need, EG: I’ll send through a stack of mats + all the rare/exotic shields to a friend tryin to make legendary shield, and he would send me either gold back or a pile of rare/exo daggers to try myself….

To me I don’t see anything wrong with this, but the outcome has proven otherwise

Malediktus.9250:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/RMT-Purchases-Expect-them-to-be-Removed
Maybe this helps you. Anet possible mistaked the transaction for RMT. If in doubt contact the support.

I was just reading that, thankyou…

I buy 50 bucks worth of gems every fortnight and yet they think I may be dealing with RMT, I think I may 50 bucks richer every fortnight now.

So I just got hit with this gold stripping Idea….

Sold a friend some skins, he sent me gold, Anet took gold.

Anet worried about losing Gem sales, I buy 50 bucks of gems every fortnight, But I wont be doing that again until my gold is returned, ty.

Cyninja.2954:

Should not have happened.

If the gold was removed, there might have been something fishy going on.

This actually makes a lot of sense, my mail would look extremely suspicious due to paying a friend for sunrise, while still sending MATS/gold to another friend to finish our legendary to sell off (would be the 3rd Legendary I’ve sold)…

Thanks for the reply

so at the moment, I’m tryin to get gold together to help with a legendary (mystic toilet) and I have quite a few skins stored away that I want to sell later when price goes up….

Anyway, yesterday I sent a friend 2 Lovestruck Staff skins for 200g, saving me trading post fees and also saving him 40g all up for the set, within an hour of receiving the gold from him the exact amount he had sent through magically vanished…

Are we not allowed to sell things via mail to friends or trade among eachother without the trading post?

I’m curious why it was taken and I want to know if I still pay back a friend for Sunrise (owe 1100g) will that gold be taken off him too?

Will the legendary a friend is making for us to sell, will the gold he sends through to me be taken too?
