Guild Wars 2

When in wvw we can see the ques for all the borderlands except the one we are on. This causes a problems if we need to change toons we have to ask in team chat if our bl has a que. Can the interface be updated to show us what que every single bl has including the one we are on?

Hello I logged onto my game and noticed that my long bow is flickering like crazy. I have tried changing it out logging off and back on and its still doing this. I recording what I mean by flickering it has never done this before. Is this a regular issue that happens?

Last time I fought nsp they had a pretty good night crew they may just be winning the night skirmishes and your not seeing it?

Mainly because I NEVER use shortbow – I find the range/distance of the skills really lame, and the skills not good enough.

Are you joking? Shortbow is the main bow used in the most efficient Ranger builds. The CC etc. is invaluable. I do have a second Ranger with a Berserker build, though, who also uses longbow — however, my Rangers use their bows only as secondary weapons as they do primary damage with their(semi-)melee ones.

But yes, a nice longbow (unlike the kitschy Kudzu) would be something to behold. However, looking at the more recent legendaries, I am afraid it would make Kudzu look like the cream of the crop in comparison.

zealex.9410:

im glad to anounce that the new legendary bow has arrived in the gemstore ^^

LOL! Yes, indeed. Wow. ^^

I think it depends on who your talking to on weather the shortbow is useful or not. I personally don’t like it. I don’t see it as useless I just don’t like it. The range and condis turn me off from it. A lot of other friends of mine flat out hate it and say its extremely useless. Their reasoning is you have to be flanking them or behind them to immobilize or daze them.

A long time ago verdant brink had a slot on lfg. Today I logged on to work on events when I went to the lfg I noticed it is missing. Is this a glitch or was it taken off the lfg for some reason?

What are the weirdest and craziest glitches you have seen in wvw? Two of my favorites involve the desert bl when the desert bl was first created you could use the enemy waypoints. The other one is in the two southern spawn sights there is a rock behind one of the portals that instant kills you :P

Ignore what people are saying thank you for posting this video. It will be very helpful for new comers to wvw. We need things like this to try to help our new people to wvw so that they can learn and get the hang of things. You did a good job <3

1.I miss the way condi use to run
2.I really miss the old upgarde system. It made if feel more important to defend. With the new way everyone takes it for granted and dosnt really care to defend unless its a keep.
3.Supply scarity was fun it made you think before you used and repaired
4. The old waypoint system was really fun it gave smaller groups a better fighting chance. Now its one wipe your probably going to lose the key.
5. I miss mesmers hiding it was so much fun going invis and ninjaing around the keep until the enemys left. Now we cant do that anymore

I feel the pips are good the way they are. But I think they should add maybe two more pips one where if you play 2+ hrs you are given an additonal pip the other one would be you gain an additional pip only while activly defending towers and keeps on your borderland. This will help us with defense and will help new comers get additional pips.

i think there is a glitch going on. I have been having trouble with health bars as well. But for me its for my side all of My allies healthbars are at their feet and they look so strange.

Hello I am from gom I would like to say we have a lot of tags! We are pretty active and most of the people are nice. We have maybe one or two rude people but that is on every server. Our strongest time is NA prime time while our weakest is night time. We dont have much night time coverage. Morning time is semi active and noonish on its pretty active. Our tags work on cordnating together through the community we try to make sure we have tags going on when ever possible so that people can have fun.

I hate pvp its extremly restrictive you cant just make a build that you want. You are forced to use one stat set and even then it is only from a small selection of stats. To me it feels like if forces you to do the meta. It is a huge loss to creativity and makes the game to stale pretty fast. I feel if they implimented something like that it would further kill wvw.

Engi, thief and druid are not less viable in wvw than nec, guard, rev are in raids. While not optimal, they have builds that can contribute well enough.
The reason for being kicked is actually pretty simple:
a) stubborn/narrow-minded players (if they squad isn’t full either way)
b) stability: Open tags/raids often do not have enough party stability to give it to everyone, therefore it is given to the players/classes that are deemed most useful. This does not mean that the others are useless or not viable, they are just not optimal (Just like you can play high mmr pvp on guard or raid on necro – it is possible but it is not optimal).

Would be nice to have a 2nd class with access to strong party stability though.

Mesmer has quite strong party stability trough mantra of stability and boonshare. But mantra is only 240 range, so tightness is essential.

Don’t think 240 range is practical in most squads
Unfortunately mesmer is also a class that you do not want to stack in squads.

Acctuly, mesmer is one of best classes(i would prioritize it over revenant) for any group, it has huge boonshare(every single boon in game, with everything but quickness and resistance being 100% uptime for first minute or so of the fight), while providing stability and cleanses and healing along with some of best CC in game.

People are just too stubrn to understand it and most mesmers are not good enough to play it(and lack 1000g to get the equipment).

Yup Mesmers are so amazing with their boonshare,stability, alacrity as well as portal and veils. I sadly cant play one to save my life I wish I could get good at one though XD

I have noticed a lot of times when using my long bow on a cannon that it will be obstructed. I will see the arrows hit and it still dosnt hit instead it goes obstructed when nothing is in the way. Also on ranger Longbow five and staff ele fire five you can be on the ground and can aim up and hit the tower with a huge massive AOE. But when you are the one defending when you try to hit the ground from the same position where the the grounds aoe are hitting you in the tower. It wont let you attack showing that it is out of range. It should let you attack from both spots since there is nothing obstructing it and it is the same distance. There are a few other skills I noticed that dont work that well in wvw sometimes when running theif I will get a no valid path when there is a perfectly fine path and so on. Can we please have a patch to fix things like this?

It’s possible to be in an enemy squad but you don’t get participation. I have made squads before with friends from enemy servers we would work together to take out the other server. It would allow us communication but we couldn’t see eachother location and we couldn’t share experience. The problem with the new pip system is peoole don’t want to leave when they have pips waiting for them at the end of the five min. The higher your participation the longer you can bleed out pips. Most people will go to spawn to bleed them out. Only a few are curtious to bleed them out in obsidian sanctum

I think it depends on your server I run on gates of madness. I have never had an issue with my server anyone is welcome into the group. Our commanders are pretty versatile they understand sure some classes are better for large fights. But they also know all classes can be useful and can do great things of they know what they are doing. The only time people get kicked is if they move borderlands but won’t leave said and won’t come back when asked. Or if they log off and don’t come back on after five or so min. I have had issues with other servers though. There was this tag from our first server link he got extremely upset when someone invited me a ranger into the squad and kicked me. I still ran with the zerg even though I wasn’t in it. I only wiped about twice and it was in our huge fights. Both times the tag would say in say chat do not res me. If anyone divided to res me they would be kicked. Both times I had the entire zerg walk over my body and ignore me. I stuck with my server commanders after that.

Yours must be glitched mine have a consume all I use it when ever I choose my badges and proofs. If I was you I would turn in a support ticket.

Question is it for the 5 min seg that its not counting? Or is it at the end of the skirmish when it says you have earned a total of such and such number? if it is the one at the end of the skirmish I know it can seem misleading but all it is telling you is how many pips you have a aquired over all through the 5 min fights.

I know ranger has a trait that removes bleeding poison and I forgot what other condition when dodging. Im not sure about the other classes I dont main them enough to know off the top of my head.

Hello I recently qued up for wvw it had me 9th in que. I clicked on the wvw panel to check my que status a few min later and it had me at 13 in que. It kept dropping me to where I was 23 in que. I never got a que notification at all. So I decided to drop the que because it was frustrating. When I dropped the que it said that the borderland had a 13 man que even though it had me listed as 23 in que.

Raiding donst require skill either it is just a repetative motion you have to learn. Even then you dont even have to participate in the raid you can just purchase clears and never have to lift a finger. At least with wvw you have to do something to earn your rank. It is not something you can pay for someone to give you. It is very time consuming and can be hard if you have a busy life style. That is why I feel it should be legendary armor instead of ascended.

The t3 armor will take quit a long time since it takes a while to get to that lvl and the tickets will take a while to aquire. I think it would be nice if they made the armor into legendary armor since t2 armor is already ascended. I like that it is at lvl 2000 it makes it something that you feel like you have earned.

I wish they would fix the feet of the male norns. It looks like a guy wearing clown shoes I have tried so hard to play male norn but I cant do it. Every time I make a male norn I end up switching it to female which is a shame. I want to experiance the male and female side of the norn.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/No-Loyalty-Bonus
Everyone is starting at ground zero to get the loyalty perk we have to have 100 pips for three weeks. Then we start getting the bonus but you must keep reaching the 100 pip a week if you don’t anet deems you not loyal. You then have to restart over getting 100 pips for three weeks

high rank has an impact on which new armors you can purchase from the new vendor as well. THe thing is they just cant de rank people that farmed EoTM. Because they wont know which ones farmed EoTM to lvl gain and which ones were in EoTM because their maps were qued. Its just impossible for it to be changed.

it will die down in a few weeks give or take once people see that it will take a very long time to get the rewards they will be put out and leave. Just give it time.

rank 1500-2000 is fine, god forbid that the players who have stuck it out through almost 5 years get rewarded a bit more than the people just jumping in now for the skins.

really so 360 – 500 hrs of wvw and I’m only 1/8th the way there and that’s “just jumping in”?

I’ve gotten around ~20 ranks since the patch. Do the math. Its not that hard to get the ranks if you really get into wvw for a while. Rank requirement is fine.

You got 20 levels in 4 hours? Would love to know how you did that. I play ktrain on beast gate and eotm and can never achieve that amount of levels and I’ve been playing for 5 years wvw.

I’m also calling BS on 20 levels in 4 hours….

If you have the wvw booster,celibration booster, experiance booster or the communial experiance bonfire, hero banner, as well as the mist buff it is possible to get that by karma training. It would be hard it involves every single booster and non stop k training but it is possible. I remember during golem week I got about 25 lvls in about 7 hrs and I only had a few of theese buffs.

I am loyal to wvw I play every single day and comand as well. I find the ticket cap rediculous it should be made so that the daimond chest gives repeatable tickets. Other then the rediculous ticket cap anet did an amazing job on this patch and I am very happy with it over all. I do wish they would work on letting people back into wvw when they disconnect rather then waiting it out in a hundred man que though

Im confused are they stacking for you? Mine goes into my currency area I dont have to click to consume anything.

Ture a lot of people I know just buy carrys in raids so they can get the armor without doing any work. In wvw you have to lvl up yourself there is no one you can pay to give you your lvl.

If you want to just run with your guild there are three options available for you.

1. Run a tagless squad and have your leader targeted. My friends and I have done this before when we have tags to be training to become commanders it works well. You can still see the target in fights.

2. Choose a tag color that is not being used on the map explain in map chat that you are a closed guild group. Most people will respect this and wont try to intrude or at least that is how it is on my server.

3. Make a squad and close it so no one joins unless you invite them.

Theese are your options anet will not change their stance on this because there is already enough tocxcity runnning around the wvw maps.

I feel there are plenty of rewards for higher contents. You have all the diffrent legendary weapons to work on. The new legendary armor that has be released as well as the new legendary backpacks. There is also the fashion wars side there are plenty of skins that you can only get if you do high content. The way our gear is set up is fine at the moment if we had a gearing treadmill that would be awful for places like wvw. It would put a lot of people at extremly high advantages if the stats just keep raising then people that dont get to play much will never be able to get even footing. With us just having asceneded armor and legendary armor that will give people time to get them. So there isnt that big of an embalance and even if it takes a while for people to get them the way the stats are set a exotic person can still have an almost even ground to fight an ascended person. If they add more higher stats then it would make new comers have a hard time ever reaching it and people that have a busy life style from reaching it.

GoM is also a pretty nice community there are very few fights. Everyone seems to get along great for the most part. Fa also as a good community that I have witnessed ar had one as well when they were going strong. The problem with ar is most of the server population sadly died out.

I enjoy when I get a whisper from the enemy server although it is very rare that I do get them. Oddly enough I get more whispers on my fashion war skills lol

My order for most intresting to boring would be Norn>Char> Sylvari>Asura>human

This would be an amazing idea I was really upset the other day. I had bought a hair style kit and foud this really cute braided hair style for my asura. I dyed it a nice pink and hit the finish button because it looked so good. The thing was the preivew panel did not let me have a top view of her which is what you tend to see if your playing asura. The way the braid was parted added to the pink color looked like I had a set of huge lips on my head. If we had something like this then we wouldnt have issues like that XD.

Hello can we change the guild mission number requirment to be based on how many are in your squad? I have a very small guild we just recently started and only have about 2 to 4 on at one time. This makes it very hard to finish most guild missions since the number requirment for some is more than what we have. For example in wvw the sentry escort requires 3 people to be on each sentry. Usually you need three groups to escort the sentrys can we lower it to one or two per a sentry. Another example is the races that require you to finish the race 15 times. It is extremly hard to do for very tiny groups.
The way the guild missions are set up it makes it extremly hard for us to lvl up our hall. The guild missions are very hard to do for small guilds. It would be cool if yall made it easier for smaller guilds to finish the missions.

Ok so Bathea Havocbringer is one of my favorite characters mentioned in the guild wars lore. I was wondering does she have a grave or memorial I could visit in game or does she even have a statue anywhere. She did so much for the charr you would think they honored her somewhere.

We are still open and recruiting for anyone interested. We are a nice non toxic environment and look forward to having anyone join us and enjoy our little family.

Hello there HAVOK SQUAD ALPHA [HAVK] is a recently created guild looking to grow. We are a PvX guild but will have a focus in Havk roaming in the GoM wvw borderlands as well . We currently have a lvl 18 Lost precipice guild hall as well as discord. All are welcome to join us in our mayhem causing adventures. Since we are small at the moment we are starting out small one day dedicated to pve adventures and one day to your wvw havking adventures. Since we are a PvX guild you do not have to be on gom but if you wish to roam with us for our wvw guild missions then you would need to transfer to gom.

Some skills have a pve ability, a pvp ability and a wvw abilty. I was thinking it would be intresting if they changed the ressing down comrade skills to fully reviving dead comrades but only in wvw. I know they changed our ressing system to only being able to outside of combat to cut down and try to lvl the battle ground. But I think this skill change would be pretty intresting.
What are peoples thoughts on something like this?

I think there is something going on on a nets end. The trading post is down for maintenance. The gem store a few people have mentioned in the support forum has given them trouble as well.

There are plenty of reasons on not doing raids one the person may have a busy life with work, family or college. This will cut into their time to be able to find a raid to take part in. On top of this due to the meta for raids if the class you normally play is taken then you have to play another class meta thst is not taken. That means to open up your chance to take part in the raids you need multiple armor sets as well as classes that you are skilled at. If you have a pretty busy life outside of guild wars this is hard to do.
Another reason is anxiety some people may be comfortable with doing things with a select few people but may get overwhelmed and not be able to do the raids due to new people new requirements as well as social communication.
Social communication leads to another thing alot of people require some form of vocal communication while doing raids. In alot of groups of you cant be in chat you cant be in the group. There is a huge group of mute and deaf people playing guild wars so for them to be able to find a raiding group to work with them is hard.
Let’s add the fact about how it’s hard to find a decent raid group that raids constantly. To top it off usually they want you to be apart of that guild. Plenty of people have full guilds forcing them to look to lfg for a group. Alot of the groups you find are pretty toxic making it none enjoyable.
On top of all of theese reasons you play guild wars to do things you enjoy you shouldn’t be forced to do something you hate giving up what little time you may have to enjoy yourself. For a set of armor they can easily put in all game modes.

I fail to see how all of this is anyone else’s problem? Either solve your issues so you can do what you want, or don’t and instead do something else, it’s that simple.

It is not that simple alot of theese things you can not just fix or solve. If you are deaf and mute alot of times this can not be fixed in any way and if it can be. It will cost thousands of dollars. Anxiety is a mental illness once again it is not something that can just be “solved”. Same with having a busy life there are so many outside things that you have no control of to just fix it to have time to take part in raids. Anet needs to look at all aspects of this. If they want their game to flourish and stay alive they need to start including things and making it available in all game modes so that it gives a chance for everyone to have an experiance.

Not all cards charge that fee though although I do get what your saying about the 1 dollar one. The 5 dollar one would still be nice to impliment.

A lot of times a group of friends want to roam with eachother to take things. We have to constantly ask eachother how much supply we all have to keep track of the count for our siege. Usually one of us will tag up to create a squad leave squad and come back so we have a tag less group. Just so we can see our supply count. I know there are a lot of people that roam and do not have a tag so they can’t form a tag less squad just to see how much supply their party has. Can we please add the supply count to the party ui? It could be added to the side of their wvw rank on their portraits or added in the top left hand corner.

I think legendary armor should be avaliable to obtain in some way in every game mode pvp, pve and wvw. Yes it should be extremely hard to get in any type of game mode. But it should not be locked behind a game mode a majority of guild wars dosnt play.

It’s just a personal opinion but I prefer being as tanky as I can. Once you are signaled out as a commander the opposing force tends to try to focus you. A lot of times when a commander goes down the group falls apart. While this isn’t true for guild groups most of the time because there is more communication and a back up tag. It dosnt carry over to Pugmanding alot of times you do not have a back up to take over and sometimes communication between everyone gets extremely rough so the group tends to fall apart when the tag goes down.

I was wondering if a five dollars price for 400 gems or what ever is equivalent to 5 dollars. Could be added for people that just wants to purchase something small like a black lion key or a dye. It would also be nice to add a dollar option for people that are shy 10 or 20 gems and they don’t want to farm for them or don’t have to gold to flip it. I know 10 or 20 gems do not take long to farm at all. But we have all been there farming for an item get excited turn it into gems to realize we are still short by a tiny bit. It would be amazing to have this option please anet.

It has been two months I think since our last relink. Does this mean tomorrow is our new server relink?
