Guild Wars 2

I was playing my engy a lot yesterday and I noticed that a couple of times, I would use my #2 down skill which pulls people to you, and can interrupt someone finishing you and they would go for a finisher and I would use it and it would say “miss”. That really makes me angry, how do you miss someone not moving and standing on top of you, and no he didn’t have any boons active wasn’t even a guardian it was a ranger. So I think it should be time to FIX engineers, #2 downed state.

That’s like using dancing dagger and someone is running straight and you use that skill and it says something similar too (there goes 4 of my adrenaline, and even though he has maxed out precision he cant even hit someone running straight).

I notice that one time I repaired the treb, instead of it facing the clocktower it was at a complete 180* and facing the wall/sky. Also I seem to get kicked out of treb, not sure if its because I’m playing an asura or what, it normally happens after I use the treb. I use the treb with the keyboard and not the mouse and I play an engineer so I’m not sure if using keyboard has anything to do with it or if playing an engineer has anything to do with it. This has happened to me a few times, I’m not sure if theres a class that does something to the treb to garble it and make it face weird directions or what.

Another thing, I was playing on raid of Capricorn awhile ago like a week ago, and I noticed that the cannon would only aim at in the dock area and it only gave me like 125* coverage, I couldn’t turn it to face straight or to the beach. I tried moving around but it didn’t help. But since you fixed it, I’m not sure if it got bugged during the gameplay or what but it seriously wouldn’t let me turn it more that time I played. I haven’t played it since, because I been doing a lot of tournies and that map isn’t one of them which is just sad, because I would love to see how people actually team play that map.

Just wanted to inform you and let you know there’s issues on them.

I noticed that too, but then I realized that maybe you have to start back from 0 again when your going for the next title. Because if you start back from 0, you need 180500 points, which you wont get till your rank 33 or 34. So you wont get ransacker until r43 or 44 as well.

TGSlasher.1458:

There is activity on the Sea of Sorrows server as well at Australian times, been running with a guild that is trying to get all of the pvpers together.

HOTM should be 1 instanced zone (with overflow if needed, but allow for chat to carry across the shards) that everyone can get into, instead of being per server HOTM. This would allow for every player to find a team, instead of server transferring to Anvil Rock as they did.

There wouldn’t be any representing then.

The PvP leaderboards are like starcraft ladder, it goes off of rating and not win/lose. The only difference is starcraft SHOWS your rating and GW2 doesn’t.

My question is when they decided to reset the leaderboards.
As you can see here https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/pvp Gasmask has won 98 games. And as you can see here https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Leaderboards-for-Qualifying-Points/ Gasmask has 642 QP. Which durning that time, the only way to earn QP was through 2 team tournaments, which is what this rating is on. Gasmask has won 642 times, not 98. Those QP were last updated 2/27/13.

Also if you don’t play on Anvil rock, its going to be a long time before you get on that leaderboard because its 60% anvil rock. So I recommend guesting on anvil rock and pvping if you want to make it on that leaderboard.

So they could have posted this a week ago, but they saw some bug and fixed it and did nothing to improve the leaderboard for the whole week. A lot of people seem downed about this leaderboard, and that’s because it don’t tell you jack squat except that some people got 7 wins and 4 loses Aeites.7469 49th place and you got people 46 wins 12 loses LightningBlaze.4913 96th place.

Just so you know, you have a bug on your leaderboards.

Click on Europe. Then it will give you a list. Click Next to view the next people past 25, and it will show you North America 26-50 and not Europe 26-50.

Quick question, how do some people have a thousand QP but on this leaderboard no one has a thousand wins?

This don’t tell me anything, super inaccurate. I don’t know if its based off of your pvp rank, or what. The Wins and Loses don’t tell me anything because they don’t go off of them. Zoose is 12 wins 5 loses but hes ranked higher than people with more wins A LOT more.

I just played yesterday and won 11 games and lost 3 games, I should be higher ranking than Zoose.

most of those guilds are PvX or more so WvW and PvE than PvP.

Don’t worry, now when someone leaves the game, the team that still has 5 people gets points for that.

Structured Player vs. Player
•Disconnecting from the game removes you from your roster before a match has started.
•Rosters that lose their submit status opens the roster UI.
•Scoreboard refreshes when players join, leave, or change teams.
•Disconnecting gives kill credit to opponents.

Play battle of khylo, use the treb and treb clocktower, or repair the treb when it breaks.
Forest of nifel, kill the forest creatures when they pop up every single time.
Raid on Capricorn use the cannon.
Kill the guild lord.
Spirit watch, just cap the orb more than other people on your team.

If your really bad, play a game by yourself. Or play with your pve friend 1v1 style.

I get top stats easily just playing the game, objective neutralizer and teammate reivival is pretty easy to get.
Getting the pvp daily is too easy, same with pvp monthly. I get the monthly in 4 days or whatever the daily category says.

I’m an expert trebber, as long as your not on the side of the clock tower by your base I can hit you. Also in a 1v3 situation with that 1 guy having treb support makes a huge difference.

A treb hit does 4-9k damage plus knockdown in a huge area, that’s a big deal, especially when some people run around with 14k hp and no toughness. That means 1 hit and a burst from the other guy your downed, or another hit with treb and your down.

And that’s why people will get the treb back up as soon as they can. It part of the game, its strategy, you need to find ways to counter it with your team.

Also engineers are really good at taking out trebs in a couple of seconds.

Is there really any point in doing 30 or 40 fractals? By the time you are able to do them you should have the rings you wanted. And since you cant get earrings in fractals, why bother going past 30. I mean if fotm 10-19 is okay with with no AR, fotm 20-29 is okay with 10 AR. But why would you go past 30, if your just trying to get ascended gear.

You cant buy earrings with pristine relics, the only way you get them is through laurels and guild commodations, which has absolutely nothing to do with FoTM.

By the time you get to fotm 29 you should already have your backpiece.

The skins in fotm are unappealing, I don’t see why anyone would farm for them.

I just started doing fotm for ascended gear but when I found out earrings aren’t obtainable just doing fotm, why continue futher? Theres better content to do then re-running a harder version of the same thing you ran for weeks. Like WvW, and theres better ways to make money like CoF p1, so why continue further in fotm past 30 if theres nothing to gain.

Now if they had earrings droppable at 40 that would give me an incentive.

Downed state is part of strategy, and if you got a downed player and still own the point and it was 1v1, if the team that has the point gets another player there its because they smart team and keeping/holding there points. Then by that time the guardian will be back and hold that point for longer.

You need to adjust your team to take out that point, don’t expect to 1v1 and quickly take out a point from somebody bunkering it, that’s when you gotta play the number games if you really want it.

As for stealth, it doesn’t contest point when your in stealth. If your trying to down a thief you gotta play them to realize what there options are in downed state, they can only move right away and like 7 seconds later they can stealth if you haven’t downed them, if you go for finisher right away and then they move and go for it again you will down them. If you didn’t get that off, you mine as well just dps them to death.

And for ele hes in mist form for like 3 seconds or so, durning that time it lets you get some points towards capping or neutralizing. Then theres nothing else he can do to prevent you from downing him. The ele has to be stupid to mist form off the point, because he will just be downed until you cap and then he will get finished. And I noticed the longer your downed the better chance for longer respawn time as well.

Now thing I really hate is playing with newbies that don’t know warrior downed state and say warrior and you are downed, you newbie tries to dps him for awhile then goes for finisher and he pops back up and kills you being downed and then kills that newbie. Warriors got a pretty good downed state, at least they come back to life and burst dps some people then officially die.

Then you got necromancer downed state, that’s one that cant be avoided unless you got some trait or boon that is immune to fear.

Guardian has a knockback.

Engineer has a finisher breaker and if your a lil slow it has a knockdown as well. Heck if its 1v1 engineer will be downed for awhile unless you got stability to avoid him dragging you.

I don’t know about ranger but I’ve seen them knock me down as well, plus I hear something about pet rezzing you, that sounds pretty cheap itself.

Every class has a decent down state its well balanced right now, each one has a knockdown or get back up or something. And if you just hate being knocked down, either get immune to knockdown utility or haste to do a speedy finisher.

I find the most fun in PvP when I try to revive someone downed against 2 or 3 other people trying to finish him, by using knockbacks. Because it makes people angry or kitten y when someone gets revived and they couldn’t down him, but it makes me feel good and the person that got up feel good as well as our team. Its all about strategy.

So you want me to pay to play this game now?

Your answer is the same as asking people there thoughts on paying to use and have a facebook account.

All I gotta say is tournament is so random right now, I’ve played with a full group of people I met while PvPing and we still play against randoms most of time and judging how random and unpredicatable they will be you cant just have 1 plan, you have to adjust to flow of game. Like my team had crazy issues with this 4 thief team zerging and just heartseeking away, thieves are squishy but when they all help each other stealth and pop out of no where and burst burst burst its tough.

But yeah, don’t let the loses get you down.

As for engineer bunker build, I just started playing engineer today for first time and I somehow became bunker using the default settings they give you, but I use p/sh, with that head bash move, with flamethrower pack, the minimize and avoid attacks for 3 seconds, default heal and the elite where you turn into a tornado but I like turning into a brute. It has so many knockdowns with this build its crazy, I’ve been able to hold 3 guys for quite some time and do good at 1v1ing, its somewhat longer than normal but I outlast them. This build is also good for attacking nodes, by knocking off the guarding guy on the node repeatedly that you neutralize there point and if you keep at it you’ll take it. You can tweak the traits if you like, but I already got champion shadow title and working on genius now so I didn’t really look into the traits too much in depth, but I got to say I’m loving the engineer.

Another thing, that treb is huge impact on the game if you know how to use it well as in know the range to hit every node and places around clocktower, if they never come and destroy it while someone is using it, they are at a serious disadvantage, same goes with if they using theres and you never destroy there treb.

Just so you know, while in mist form it doesn’t count you as on the point so the enemy is getting points towards capture while ele is in mist form. This is how it is with any invulnerable skill.

I find downed state on point part of strategy, you have to hold it as long as you can, you do whatever you have to do.

Would you mind if they had a system that culled people first over enemies?

As soon as I read a post that says “I played 1400, 1500, 1600, et al, but now I’m bored!!!” I cease taking it seriously.

Surely for a single player game that is a lot, but an mmorpg? That’s not much at all…

It’s a lot in 6 months. Do the math. About eight hours a day, every day.

For MMORPG’s 6 month is hardly any time. Games like WoW and EQ have people playing it for over 10 years.

Do you feel they need to fix/ get rid of culling in PvE?
Do you feel in massive fights that your not getting the loot you should be getting (because culling is hiding the enemies and makes your AE spells not even land)

DO YOU FEEL THERE SHOULD BE AN OPTION hide players hide non guild members hide people not in party or always cull players over monsters, so that way you only see the enemies.

Would you rather see monsters and kill them for loot, or just watch couple spells drop in some random area with a bunch of players in it?

The supply one is where it should be, everybody wants it because its worth the most, so it should be hard to get.

Fuzzion.2504:

The predicted score for this week is

1st- Jq – 255,903
2nd- SoR – 235,874
3rd- BG – 198,046

Pshhh, Jade Quarry going to win this week again with 40k point lead. Theres no more BG hype anymore so don’t expect SoR or BG to win anytime soon.

Difference between those guilds that went to SoR and the ones that went to BG aka SoS guilds is that SoS guilds know how to play against JQ and were T1 material, but these wannabees that went to SoR aren’t T1 material.

So it don’t matter if 2 puny guilds went to SoR, it wont do jack squat against JQ winning by a large margin.

Next week or maybe this week, we will be back in our normal routine by winning large and 3-4 days in we will just alt xp run all day because it will be impossible for them to win.

lupercaleb.6041:

finishing doesn’t care about line of sight

What he/she said. As long as they are in the radius whether you be on top of something or below or through wall, you gonna get finished.

nice video man, I been trying out the other classes and tried guardian but its a lot to learn fast. My traits were a lil off, I ran the 0/0/30/30/10 with sce/shi and staff for 1st time and not too different than yours, I was thinking more of denial type.

I’ll give yours a go though, and just ignore the haters.

A zerg is not 16 people because 16 people do not create orange swords in WvW.

Yeah the PvP community is doing really good. Its going to be esports very soon. As for PvE, its not doing that great and neither is WvW. They tried to put some ranking in WvW but that’s not doing that great either.

As you can see right now the WvW players don’t have WvW titles but the PvP players do. PvP is doing very good right now, this game is probably one of the best PvP games of all time.

If anet gives the PvE and WvW community the same amount of love it gives the PvP community than I can see the PvE and WvW doing outstanding.

We’ve taken BG keep everyday on EB, nothing special about it anymore.
Another thing, SoR needs to goto Tier 2, this JQ SoR alliance and JQ always winning isn’t really fun anymore, I like to actually feel like I’m making a difference and not, oops JQ wins again because we tag team BG.

1. When your que’ed for tournament game you can do hotjoins while you wait and still stay in que.

2. In tournament game if you notice u have 4 of same class on a team you can change out if you play multiple characters, say you got 4 thiefs and 1 ranger you could go character select and log on your guardian or ele. This can be done during the game as well.

You can solo queen bee too.

The PvP leaderboard is ready, but they want to implement it with a PvE leaderboard so you have to wait till that’s done. Theres rumors about a WvW leaderboard as well, so you will just have to wait.

Think of it restaurant style, your food maybe done, but your buddies food isn’t done so that’s why its taking forever to get the food.

Do you think we will get Blackgate keep? Theres 300 people here!

Why they don’t have just 1 option for tournament and you keep going till your team loses (LIKE IN GW1) is beyond me.

Also how they don’t have super tournaments is beyond me, that offer titles like Legendary Gladiator.

Lordrosicky.5813:

Besides it will only show the top 100 so it is pointless for 99% of the population.

actually, if it captures the top 100 then 100% of the pvp population will get a rank… and I’d wager that leaves room still for about another 35 ppl to get ranked.

Yeah your right, most of the casual or casual+ pvpers are at least rank 25 and higher now. And you don’t see that many anymore.

One thing you need to understand is anet has teams that work on different stuff. The PvP team has nothing to do with Super Adventure Box, they never even typed one letter of coding in it.

Another thing is that the leaderboard will most likely update automatically after every win and loss you take. Just like the WvW thing, somebody killed your yak, points goto them right away, there is no have to wait a week to see whose the current best.

Another thing I would advise anet to do is look into people leaving tournament games so they there “win/loss ratios don’t look bad”. They need to change it so when your name is on that roster and game decide to do its countdown, if you got real life issues to attend and you go leave the game or whatever and screw your team of 4v5 game and your team loses YOU LOSE with them. heck they should show disconnects(people leaving game) as well, that way you take a double whammy 1 lose and 1 disconnect, if your team loses of course. You shouldn’t be queing up if you disconnect all the time in games anyways.

I’ve played with some good 3 second kill thieves before, but don’t remember there names. I would say you would have to probably categorize the best thief like best d/d s/p, etc.

*I would really like to see a video, that’s nice and slow and explains and shows how to get someone down in 3-5 seconds. *

Another video I would like to see is one of a thief defending a cap against a ranger, making sure he cant neutralize the cap.

yup I read the leaderboard will be out soon, it just needs adjusting like 2 weeks ago too.

1 thing you gotta realize about mmorpg companies, they wont release anything until the next big patch, so it could’ve been fixed 2 or 3 days ago but you gotta wait a whole month just for them to put it in.

And nobody knows the exact way they rate/rank you, nothing official.

Everybody wants 1v1 or 2v2… But I want 16v16. Or a big pvp game. In GW1 they started 8v8, then in the 1st or 2nd expansion they had 16v16 or something bigger than 8v8 and it was a lot more fun. Heck what about 5v5v5. GW1 had it they had up to 4 maybe 6 teams going at each other, halls of heroes!

If theres anything I remember the most about GW1 its agony in pve and halls of heroes in pvp and whoever had the hoh had the underworld.

I’ve mentioned this before when I was a hotjoiner because people would kill you rather than finish you and it never gives you opportunity to do your tiger finisher animation. But now that I’m a tpvp’er I really don’t care what they do.

Lordrosicky.5813:

Nobody knows who the best is. There is no way to prove it and if anyone thinks someone is the best thief that’s purely an opinion which is inevitably based on incomplete information. Fine to have an opinion but stating at as fact is ignorant tbh.

Yeah hence why they need leaderboards…
But more importantly anet needs to do what GW1 does and that’s host big time tournaments every week or month.

Umad SF is just too good at WvW?

pot.6805:

How are SoR zergs instantly killing siege with 20k hits? All of our siege on that wall gone with 15seconds.

They have engineers that know how to take out siege. If you play tpvp on battle of khylo you’ll witness people taking out treb in 2 to 3 hits.

“Live the saga of super adventure box on GW2 by arenanet, your parents will help you hook it up”

That made me laugh, I had to rewind it just to hear that like 5 times, because when I had the Nintendo they wouldn’t help me hook it up, I did the put the cord in every slot till it fits method.

All I got to say is, this game the developers actually do stuff, you actually see updates and whatnot, compared to other games it takes a long time for that to happen.

Don’t think anet spent all there time on this super adventure, theres more than 1 team and they all work on different things.

Think of it this way, would you rather receive nothing or to have something.

And yes I like super adventure box, it gives me things to do in GW2.

Its good music, its definitely Nintendo era type of music. Brings back memories and I like it, wish there was more good music like this in the game.

I think they should have easier to obtain titles like dominator, then champion dominator then keep ultimate dominator where it is at.

Also would like Ultimate titles in PvP like Ultimate Slayer, Ultimate Brawler, Ultimate Magus.**** I like the sound of ULTIMATE more so than CHAMPION.

Maybe in future you can give Lengendary for like 1 million kills you get Legendary Dominator, and in Pvp maybe like 10,000 tournament wins Legendary Magus.

tagging people will get you a lot of glory fast. People that know how the point system works, like deal a couple k damage on downed guy you get skirmisher are the people who get a lot of glory.

I think it needs a in game vent or teamspeak type thing in it, only for your team and you can use chat if you want to trash talk the other team or whatever. I haven’t played a game yet where it offers ingame vent/teamspeak and its automatically on.

I don’t think that 4 players should be able to ruin everything for the other one.
If he doesn’t want to pvp then he has no obligation to you or the community to stay in the match.

Don’t q if u don’t want to pvp. By quitting your making a bad match even worse for 4 other people. Nobody is saying you cant quit, we are saying some sort of in game penalty should exist. Like it does in pretty much every other successful pvp game. League etc.

I agree with you. The issue is in tournament games, nobody cares about hotjoins, you can just swap teams if your one of those have to have 100% wins kind of person. They do this because of that as well because the match isn’t official until the game is won and if your not present at the time it wont consider it a match at all.

They just need to start recording the people who are in the que of the match at start, record it as a game for all of those people, and then record the win if they win or not. That way if someone leaves its guaranteed that they lost, if they lost.

And the 4v5 thing, I’ve seen some 4 people teams barely win, like 15% of the time. It may make you rage but take this time to hone your skills or just backcap.

Oh btw I’ve made 2 threads on this, I seem to make them when I keep getting terrible luck like you with 2 hours of 4v5.

The PSU is fine, I meant usb ports not hdmi, and the cpu I had heatsink in when testing it, hence why I could see the fans running on it. But when I plug the 4 pin cpu power cord in, the computer turns on briefly then I hear a slight zap sound and it turns off. exactly like http://www.overclock.net/t/895670/pc-wont-start-when-4-pin-cpu-power-is-plugged-in, now I’ve been doing a lot of research on this 4 pin cpu turning off computer, for some reason people say that little cmos chip replacing it fixes it so I’m going to give it a try, but I got a feeling I’ll have to go buy a new motherboard and theres not many motherboards with DDR2 ram, VGA 775 cpu slots and quad core, I don’t really like ASROCK but they only ones selling them for $45.

I’ve did a lot of research and read a lot of threads about this issue, but almost every single thread doesn’t have an answer of what the issue is when the 4 pin cpu cord doesn’t work on a known good psu. And yes, I have taken everything out of motherboard and just had the cpu with the heatsink on top of it when I plugged in 24 pin connecter and the 4 pin cpu connecter and it just briefly turns on and turns off, without the 4 pin cpu connecter in, everything will turn on but I will get no display and my usb ports will not work, and the computer wont shut off when I press down on the power button on the motherboard or when I press and hold it.

Edit: When I turned it to 220v a long time ago, I’m guessing it was because that 4 pin connecter wasn’t working so I thought it needed more power or that something accidently flipped it, so I flipped it to 220v, at that time it stayed on longer, but you could smell something burning. I’ve checked my motherboard and I don’t see anything burnt on it, same thing on the cpu chip. So many the old psu is bad at the time (it turned on everything but that 4 pin cpu), maybe that 4 pin just decided to die out, and me charging it 220v did no better (it didn’t make it come back to life). The only thing I remember from a long time ago is I was cleaning and reapplying thermal grease to cpu, and I think when I put it all back together it didn’t work and I just gave up for that day and didn’t have any luck, and then I went on a 9 month deployment and came back and haven’t touched it a long time because I didn’t have a video game craze like I do now and my laptop cant run the best settings in GW2.

So I’m going to clean off cpu reapply thermal grease and reseat the cpu heatsink fan (if any of you have 775 you know its a pain because those stupid plastic connects like to bend and that black pin doesn’t like to go down and whatnot, but I’ll make sure its perfect this time) and I’ll go buy a new battery chip (not sure if this will do anything but heck I’ll try it out) and try to get a motherboard beeper.

If all of that doesn’t work, I’ll buy new motherboard and use old stuff, and hope cpu works. Or maybe I’ll just go AMD motherboard because there 6 core processors are like $100 while INTEL is $500 LOL, and I’ll have to get RAM because DDR2 isn’t compatible, and I KNOW GTX 280 still runs all games at maximum settings even if its 4 years old. So it’d be like $350 for upgrade or $50 just to use my old stuff, which ran everything max settings at its time a year ago (just wont have 8 audio i’ll have 6 instead).
