Guild Wars 2

Everytime I close the game, or even log out to change characters the game crashes.

And that is the major issue. What Fish said.

You can’t punish the players for a mistake that you did. That is wrong and immoral. I can understand if you put it towards FUTURE transfers, but you can’t backpedal like that and lock out the transfers completely now, especially since they have been participating in WvW since they transferred. That’s not the player’s mistake, that is your’s anet.

And the Dev’s are just going to repost what they posted on transfers saying everyone knew about. Half true.

Everyone knew it would happen, and everyone EXPECTED it to happen when seasons started. Not 2 weeks in. Which is wrong on Anet’s part and again, an anet mistake.

Bumping for Guardians, Warriors, Thieves, and Eles! Thieves specifically!!!

I’m going to bump this, even though Khat already did.

So you aren’t critting for 100% of the time?

Having the trait line 0/20/0/20/30, and being full Knight’s armor/weapons with Cavalier’s accessories, I should be getting higher Crit-chance than 59% when going into Death Shroud.

Before Death Shroud, I have 39% Crit Chance.

20 in curses, gives me Furious Demise which gives me Fury when entering Death Shroud. That brings me up to 59% crit-chance.

I have 30 in Soul Reaping to give me Death Perception, which increase critical hit chance by 50% while in Death Shroud.

In the pictures, you will see my Hero Panel with my stats before I enter Death Shroud, and after I enter Death Shroud.

You can clearly see that when entering Death Shroud, I gain the 20% extra from Fury, but nothing extra from Death Perception. Is this an actual bug, or simply a text bug? I should be critting 100% of the time when in Death Shroud. I don’t really pay much attention to it to be honest, but a bug is a bug, regardless of what kind.

I am pretty concerned about WvW to be honest.

The way you guys are describing WvW in your lower tiers is an eye opener :o.

It is pretty bad in lower tiers to be honest. Not like a wasteland, but getting there. There will always be things that give it false boosts in population though (reset Fridays, leagues, events, etc), but overall (speaking as someone who played T5-8 for the last two years) there has been a steady decline in players on average. If you play NA prime it is “ok”, but some servers might only have 20-30 (total in all maps) at given points in the day. It got to where you could roam on a BL and see maybe 4-5 people in an hour, just a waste of time really.

If the trend continues, more and more players will begin to either stop playing WvW/GW2, or transfer up in tiers. Now, obviously not everyone would go one of these routes, but even if a small percentage did, it would only serve to further decimate the lower tier populations. Everyone (myself included) thought eventually the “stacked” servers would un-stack due to queues/balance issues on their on accord, but now that does not appear to be the case. At the end of the day it is better I guess for them to play with 30-40 minute queues than to play for 30-40 minutes and get no fights.

You are mistaken about queues on Higher Tiers. From what I understand, the only server that may get queues during the week, is BG. On JQ, we have no queue for EBG most of the time. Only time we really have queues is Reset night and MAYBE saturday night.

I look at SoR/BG/Mag thread. Then I see our’s. They already have over 700 posts of complaining. Almost all of this is chivalrous manner. I love it. Why can’t every match-up thread be like this?

SFShinigami.2015:

hug time nao?

plz?

Why stop at hugs?

Guardian, Ele, Mesmer. Having those three would be beneficial. As far as the rest of the group, that’s up to how you want to play. You have the guardian for boons, the ele for speed and healing, and the mesmer for tricky things. I would say add a necro for their boon stripping and conditions, but I’m partial to those.

Honestly, I can see This coming match up being the deciding role. JQ has had easy matchups other than Week 1. Which Week 1 shouldn’t even be considered do to PvE Achievement hunters. I know everyone got hit kitten those, but it prevented servers from getting their true strength and guilds in.

I’m excited to see what BG will bring to the table in this coming week and enjoy this match up VERY much. I think SoR should get some much needed rest, get your achievements guys. Then get ready for the final week of BG/SoR/JQ. I’m hoping SoS will provide some interesting aspects to the league to.

No disrespect meant, as you guys have some VERY good roamers out there, but a server that was completely thrown away and was thought to have nothing to do in the leagues, is going to be the deciding factor. Even though they may not view themselves as such and plan on playing the same, they will still be the factor in how the league plays out. But even if they did double team BG with JQ, would it be enough to stop BG’s undefeated streak?

Good fights in EB. Mag just seems to pop out of nowhere and join for a threesome.

Zylonite.5913:

Hi Anet, still waiting on developer feedback on all these queue times and skills lags/ etc that have been brought up since the Seasons started? In other words any news on removing all JPs from WvW maps on the next patch?

1) Queue Times, should be expected. It just means that a lot of people are in the map and a lot of people are waiting to get in. Something different, and new. PvEr’s are going to check it out. Don’t like the queues, join a lower pop server.

2) Skill Lag, it’s brought on because of lots of things going on in small area.

None of these issues have been brought on SINCE the Season started. Those issues have ALWAYS been a problem.

I’ve honestly have been having a blast playing against BG and SoR over the weekend. Some good fights and tactics that have been used. I wish BG and SoR good luck in the coming weeks.

The NPCs are certainly keeping this fight close! I wonder who will come out on top?

BG lost Merc, yes. There’s still a good chunk of them hanging in BG though. Merc had their reasons, whatever they may be. It’s done, no use crying over, you overcome the challenges. I’m curious to see how JQ will come back from being in 3rd place for a long time. I’m curious to see if BG will overcome this challenge of losing a large guild. I’m curious is SoR is going to do anything at all, they’ve been quiet for a long time. And TC is the little engine that couldn’t. Poor little guys. If they had 2-3 of the guilds from BG/SoR/JQ join them, they might have a fighting chance. Make it a 4-way fight. That would cool to see.

Can’t wait for the great fights this upcoming week

DeWolfe.2174:

I wish Anet would take up my concept of WvW being an Alliance/Legion. Where anyone, from any world, can join into a Legion to fight at any time. No transfer’s required! This way people can jump around and have more fun! Leaving the World chest thumping out of it. Leaving the server pop caps out of it. Having us, the players, be able to auto-balance out the populations on a moments notice.

These Alliances/Legions could have some form of meaning or story to go along with them. Maybe having special rewards of armor/weapons themes for doing X amount in the Legion/Alliance. Differing maps with differing wildlife.

I have no clue why “developers” had not thought of this before! WvW still seems like an off shoot than a fully developed idea.

I would quit GW2. I started playing GW2 for the advertised, World vs World with siege warfare. Yet you want to get rid of an aspect of the game, a feature. That is like saying, Hey, we are getting rid of PvE, and it will all be instanced events, no world exploration.

Yeah, think about it.

World vs World, isn’t a numbers game. Unless you have triple the enemy. But I’ve seen 10 man teams take out 20 man teams easily.

I just wanted to point out, the ranking system isn’t failing. Failing would mean that is has stopped working. That isn’t then case. The system is working EXACTLY like it should. What you guys are wanting is a new ranking system to add diversity. Otherwise, the system is working correctly.

Good fights everyone. I can’t wait to see what next week unfolds.

Aurust.8961:

BG = Most skilled
JQ= Used to be most skilled, 2nd most skilled now
SOR= Third most skilled server in tier 1, used to be 2nd most skilled.

Fail troll sir. One week doesn’t make you most skilled. Even when most of the guilds took breaks this week to work on various activities.

Score update for those with “wife aggro”.

First, cast stability. Next, buy another copy of gw2. Heal yourself. Now, evade the slow internet connection. Slot said copy of gw2 onto desktop, for great justice. Bind it to the start toolbar if you want. The Wife Boss should then instead aggro enemies with husband (or wife) in a constructive manner exhibiting teamwork and success.

+ 1

But just for you, my poor fellow gamer!

Here is the sad party, I bought her GW2 for Christmas…. She still hasn’t made it to level 20…..

Score update for those with “wife aggro”.

Kain is just looking for a rebound. They think they want true love, because they had something going for a while with WM. But WM cheated on them. Now they are hurt and looking to rebound off other guilds. This is the start of a series of bad relationships. You can pull through kain. I believe in you.

It does suck, very much so. Sadly I don’t think it is possible to fix said issue. Closing WvW because a few players can’t access isn’t very fair either. Them taking advantage of that is just a cheap win on their part. No honor.

I can’t wait til see how the rest of the weekend plays out. I had fun last night.

I don’t know about you, but the score seems rather close to me. Closer than usual.

Epidemic, use it. Build for conditions. Epidemic by far and away the best skill, in my opinion in WvW. You see an enemy with a TON of condis, pop Epidemic. It will wreck a zerg.

This is a good idea in my opinion. The Gold is for PvE commanding, and the Badges could be for WvW commanding. That seems like a great idea to me.

^I like this news.

There will always be drama. I don’t see this one [DIE] Member as a representation of his guild, nor the server as a whole. The entire “Hackgate” scandal was over and done with MANY months ago.

Personally, I really don’t see why the SF hating here. “Jumping ship”? lol We had our reasons. We made them public, I think?

The 2v1 last night was intense though, I had a lot of fun. It was definitely trying to un-kitten ourselves out of that mess.

I knew that you were AoS. I don’t know what I put SF in there. I think AoS and SF as the same people, espeically after you and Kelo had your encounter

- Jedbacca (SF)
- Glorious Stei (AoS)
- Waha (FOO)
- Raz (PRX/WARD)

Rank means nothing

Can someone explain this to me?
(please wait for all the SS’s, there will be 6+)

I saw this mesmer yesterday in EB JP, same server, same guild tag [DIE], same armor. We killed him a few times in JP (3rd floor, next to chest) and he was back in like 30sec. He is either using some terrain/fly/speed hack or other mesmer to port (which is really unlikely)

If you look at the first few of my pics, you can see he clearly teleports using an obvious hack across the canyon then back after he gets downed/raises himself.

Stuff like this makes me not even want to play.

I even have video evidence and have already reported him to Anet.

On a side note, JQ has no queues, when people say we do, it makes me chuckle.

Also, EMP leaving have not demoralized JQ in the slightest. I’d say we are doing quite well honestly. They were given a map to cover, and we had to pull our forces to fix for the unexpected loss. So for being 2v1’ed on reset night, we are not doing bad at all. Especially since the map isn’t full for us.

I don’t understand the talk of “long queues”. The only time I’ve EVER experience a queue is during reset night. But even then, I logged on at 2:30 AM EST 4/20, EARLY EARLY Saturday morning, and no queue. I don’t experience one during NA Primetime the day after reset either.

I still say necros. I may be biased. But necros can do the following:
Tank
Pure Condition
Support
AOE DPS
Burst
Solid producing DPS

True, necros can not stealth, but they do make up. Also true, necros can not play ALL those at once. But definitely the most versatile class in the game.

I’m waiting for Ex-SBI guilds on JQ and SoR to comment on this. Personally, being ex-comrades of War Machine, I would LOVE to face them in battle. I personally think FOO vs WM will be an epic battle. I really hope Kain will make it to T1 one of these days.

I’ve been seeing this much more on the forums lately. I honestly can not say I understand with any of it. I here the following statements:

Warriors are OP due to a trait that goes hand in hand with ACs.
Necros are OP because of Marks.
Memsers are OP due to confusion.
Bunker Eles are OP in general.
Thieves are OP for perma stealth.

My question is, how can the majority of the classes in the game become Over-Powered?

The Answer, not possible. People just found the build that works wonders for them in WvW. Warriors can stop zergs with the AC, as it should be. Necro marks can hold choke points. Mesmers are able to put out confusion, and spread it using necros (they relie on another class). Eles that are D/D and bunker just REALLY know how to play their class. Thieves being perma stealth are REALLY good for scouting, as they should be.

No class is more OP than the other. You can fight against each one of these. So please, no class is more OP than the other. the Devs worked MONTHS to get the class balance right. But then once one person in the community cried wolf, it forever offset the class balance, and now it will NEVER become balanced. But I presonally thing it is fine the way it is.

I’m so sad that I that I haven’t been able to play much this week due to work. Hopefully I’ll be able to play Tuesday night. My only night I can play

My only issue on stealth is the fact that when they are hit is AoE or marks they are still stealthed. I personally think, and I’ve constantly preached this, that if you get hit, especially with cripple or bleed, you should immediately come out of stealth and be unable to get into stealth ‘till the conditions go away. That’s it. Otherwise, stealthing is fine.

Whenever I play, the ppt is almost always even. Good fights everywhere across the board.

I do not think necros are underpowered at all. You need to know how to play the class. Personally, I think necros are right where they need to be. They aren’t too powerful and they aren’t too weak. They definitely can make or break a team. My guild runs a couple of different necro builds. Personally, I’m a condition build. Epidemic is destruction in WvW. I usually end up making between 50-100 badges in a few hours of WvW. In tpvp I’m pretty beastly as well.

If you are wiping fast, you need to use Death Shroud more often, and should fix your build appropriately. If you are a go in and just kill like a warrior or guardian, then you should be a tank/power build. If you are condition, you need to stay unseen and just unleash AoE.

I’m not saying you are unskilled, but maybe your build isn’t right for your play style if you are dying so fast.

Personally, I think my necro build is pretty dominant. I somehow specced my necro to be a tank/condition/support build. I don’t know how, but I do not die easily. I do some pretty heavy damage over time, not burst. I am also NOT very good 1v1, I never have been though, could just be me. In a group of 5+ I am pure destruction.

I love it. This is fantastic

This is intended?

We also have to remember, this is the weekend. It will be hard to get in on weekends and reset nights. I know I will personally be trying during the week.

Nah, there is always time during the week.

A lot of us still haven’t been able to get in. About 15 of us trying like crazy.

Still full as of 3:52 PM EST.
