Guild Wars 2

ghostchipz.2341:

a very simple sloution to the teir system could be this

- 1st place go up
- 2nd place stay were your are
- 3rd place go down

you would get 2 new servers to battle each week or is this too simple.

At the end of the week your sever gets points based on were the finished over all for example we hav 24 servers in the NA region so the 1st place sever in T1 gets 24 points last place server gets 1 point.

This rewards you for staying in the top teirs

what do you think

Theres no good solution. Too few worlds that can compete. Eventually top servers will get bored and stop competing allowing others to move up.

-display MOTD in chat when people log in
-display joins and leaves with option to turn off

Sadly I probably missed a bunch because I was fighting or dead. I wish theyd change that.

We (SOR) had a good 20 minute fight at the tower east of IOJs spawn last night, with mostly [SPQR] defending to the last man, making the invader work for every inch.

Good to know. Ill never make it past the first levels anyway.

I like to do this in all MMOs. Here is a into list of (in theory) simple things which the developers could change/fix which seem minor in nature but would significantly improve gameplay. Just fixing one of these things a week would generate a lot of of good will for AN. Please add your suggestions, such as:

-categorize food…under food, in the trading post
-allow players to filter for armor size in TP
-allow players to filter for only usable items in TP
-allow kicking of offline party members
-allow players to uncheck crafting tiers they cant use yet after switching crafts
-add an LFG chat

Speaking of disgusting tactics, someone was abusing the invulrnerable spot behind the southwest supply camp next to a spawn, in order to portal in an entire army behind SoR holding the camp, on saturday i think. Dont know if anyone got a screenshot.

SoR (SPQR specifically) held that camp for a good 20 mins while being attacked by one world from the west keep, and another world from the east tower, and then from behind via the exploit.

I did Grawl yesterday at level 1 and thought the final boss was super easy. Maybe because it was level one? The worst part was avoiding falling asleep while burning down the boss for 20 mins. Most of these bosses have way too much HP.

Well, ill give it a shot and put an app in on the website. Solo wvw is boring.

I had this build for a long time before switching over to something with more survivability in dungeons. I used dual sword, focused on adding bleed stacks first, and then condition damage. PVE it worked pretty well though at level 80 soloing in Orr was tough.

In WvW, in one on one fights I usually died first, but the other guy died soon after unless they were smart enough to remove conditions. Its difficult to survive 25 stacks of bleed. In zergs it wasnt as useful, though.

the score as of about 10 mins ago

oh

Heres the rest.

Didnt see a thread on this.

Noobles.4325:

and do you get this upset when you cn not attend aconcert in your city beause you have school or work? come on get over it

Notice how concerts are usually scheduled for local evenings?

Funny. When I posted the very same question about why a one time event was happening during USA work hours, a few people said “europe is more important” and then a dev locked the thread. Yet here we’re being told ‘your feedback is important’.

How many active players do you have? What times are they active? What do you offer beyond wvw?

Jedahs.2713:

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have done it. Today, Sea of Sorrows has finally reached Tier 1 in WvW Rankings.

Your recap kind of makes its sound like you moved up because everyone else moved down.

There are more players on at 3pm in the afternoon east coast than say 7pm east coast? I find that hard to beleive.

Why is the one time special event on a friday at noon when many of us are are at work?

rather than set matches every week dictated by the ranking chart, will it be possible to have randomly picked 3 servers just go against each other every week and just keep their ratings instead… it might be fun or more interesting that way, because right now we are stuck with the same opponents for the 3rd week and it’s not the same as looking forward to playing with them the first week… just a random thought, thanks

That would be a no. I understand where your coming from on that one. But other than the 2 servers your facing. There are maybe 3 other servers that stand a chance against you. Would be unfair to pretty much EVERYONE else lol.

It doesnt hurt in the NFL. Cleavand, for example, has no chance of beating anyone, yet they still have to play the superbowl champs. So, what you do is randomize the matchups so everyone plays everyone, and then at the end you have a win-loss record which is a better gauge of ranking. Some weeks will be fun, some wont, but every week will be a different experience.

Notice how game developers (except CCP) will never confirm or deny what population labels mean or how many people play their game? IMO, that is evidence of a population problem.

Transfers should be free. There is more going on than just WVW

Im more like:

4th time through, die on first jump, 1% in. I see where this leads. think ill go find something else to do. saved myself 7 hours of my life

If you switch to new craft, crafting window shows recipes up to master than you can not craft yet. And you can not uncheck levels in filter.

Looks bugged to me. Gervid is dead. We managed to revive him with a skill, and he just stands there. AN needs to put a timeout on events.

Ah, missed that. Thanks.

I have 2g, but I just spent 2g on guild influence for my bank.

Please dont give away trade secrets.

Please DO NOT close free transfers. I have no interest paying to change servers when the one im on inevetibly dies because no one else wants to pay to move around and people get bored. Simply reduce it to once a week or two weeks.

What times is the guild active? And why does your website calendar show no events?

Tigerbite reminded me of another thing I look for in a guild recruitment. Relavent content.

Reading through recruitment posts, some are very lacking in information, so I thought it would be good for us to offer some advice for guilds seeking recruits. So, what information do you look for in a recruitment ad, before you pick a guild to contact?

-number of active members (not to include alts or people who never log in)
-what times the guild is most active
-language spoken
-what events does the guild schedule

I assume the world list must be based on accounts rather than activity, as there is no way these servers are always full of active players. I too am having trouble finding anyone in many zones, which makes the game kind of boring, and not massive or multiplayer for much of the day.

Unfortunatley, MMO devs are afraid to publish sub numbers or concurent players (except EVE).

I just dont see why people want to give away their work.

Makes more sense to reset on Mondays and Fridays.

You helped my competition. Gee, thanks.

Yeah, just plant some and grow your own. Oh wait, this isnt a sandbox.

tenkanu.2354:

There are more than 175 areas in Ascalon, that could be a problem.

I wanted to comment on this, because you’re right. There are a TON of areas, and what we’ve found in many cases is that with the “round up” feature of the title, it can appear that a player has completely cleared all maps, but really is a bit under full completion.

Let me explain: Maybe a certain map comprises an actual .08931% of the title. The system rounds that up to .09& (or perhaps even to a full .1%). Over time, those rounded numbers can add up to 100%, and the account details may show 100%, but in fact you’re at, say, 98.1%.

In Guild Wars (the original game) we have people ask us “Why does it say I have 103.2% for the title?” That, too, is the “round-up factor.”

So when someone says “I have 100%” that isn’t necessarily the case, and that’s why the first suggestion is the check each and every map. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately for fairness), we don’t have the ability to peek at the account and hint “Go to [map name] to finish the title.”

Do you have the option to add a screen for us which shows you the completion percentage of each achievement per zone?

I have to admit I’m surprised that a savvy trader would give away advice on a public forum. But thanks :p

I agree. Not really a fan of telling people how to win. Let them earn their gold.

As of 2pm EST sdgsfsfd

Add cocoa beans to harvesting, make chocolate from cocoa beans, sugar. Problem solved, and people given something more to craft. Was that so hard?

Did someone ask why they dont just make butter a base recipe? Butter is made from milk. You can buy milk with coin. Problem solved. Why would mobs be running around with butter?

Here is 9am EST

Binafus.8153:

Ever thought maybe the night players sit around and say man it is not fair they Day Cap our forts and towers every day.

No, becuase its not about day vs night, but NA prime vs not prime. By virtue of it being a NA server, we have to sleep. If it was an oceanic server, I wouldnt be on it, because who wants to play solo?

Malarky.9546:

Interesting, Kolly — that’s the first time I’ve seen green down on points during primetime for the whole matchup. They’ve been consistently ahead. When was that screenie from? (Looks old..considering points are much higher now, right?)

Well it would take 130ish cyles (37 hours) to catch up to HOD, so maybe they just arent worried. Theyll get it all back after JQ logs out.

Namu.5712:

JQ is day capping while no one else is there!!!! That’s not fair I demand you change the entire design of the game to accommodate my prime-time play-style nao!!!!!!

Its funnier because we would have no problem with that. The idea is to scale the point gain based on the number of people playing. Doesnt matter what time it is. More opposition means more rewards, thats the idea.

Well the good news is we JQ retook a lot of stuff. 10am

I just use one thats high enough to get everything in that zone and lower. They arent very expensive.

Please do not blindly mail stuff to people you dont know.
