WvW Server Links do not work at all, please stop this nonsense

Posted: 19 Apr 2017 08:37 AM PDT

Arenanet needs to start merging WvW servers instead linking. Some link servers have basically no population at all anymore, they are just used by guilds to bandwagon to a desired server for 2 months paying 500 gems instead a full 1800 price, this allows for massive ammounts of people to moving up and down tiers creating imbalance which results on a non ejoyable experience for the servers caught in between this massive population exodus (so you get matched with server that vastly ournumber yours or to servers with hardly any people at all very often, either of which will produce a very poor player experience). Plain and simple, i know this sounds raw but it is just how it is. Game is slowly dying, which is normal, it is 5 years old anyways, any other game experiencing this just cut down the number of servers to condense the remaining population, by not doing this arenat is just baddy hurting WvW killing whatever is left of the population who still plays this game mode. Lets face it Arenanet dropped all WvW support few months ago, we just want to have fun and let the game mode to die in peace, but arenanet and their lack of vision are just killing it on a much faster rate, basically if you didn't do anything at all the game would be in a way better shape than having this terrible changes that just make more and more people to quit the game day after day (looking ast you ¨scoring changes aswell¨).

If you want to keep the ¨server linking¨ mechanic at least put the same transfer price in gems for the linked servers than for the main servers so it makes it harder for bandwagons to happen and maybe that way you can get some glicko balance again. Or maybe you can just straight up delete glicko and just go into a complete random matchmaking system, this may contribute to overstacked servers to destack and prevent bandwagons.

WvW stats from 11/25/2016 https://www.reddit.com/r/Gw2WvW/comments/5g4jiy/euna_kill_stats_2511_212/

WvW stats from 3/31/2017 https://www.reddit.com/r/Gw2WvW/comments/65i3s6/euna_kill_stats_313_74/

This suggests at least on NA, the overall activity has dropped considerably

Now that Demonic Tears are unblockable in CM...

Posted: 19 Apr 2017 02:21 PM PDT

Can we make all passive damage ticks in raids unblockable? UC guard is incredibly fun to play because of how rewarded you are for not being hit, but passive attacks eat your aegis in 10 out of the 13 raid bosses.

Aegis is meant to be used for active defense, and it just feels shitty when you try to block Matthias' hadouken for your allies only for the passive damage tick to eat the aegis instead.

pls make UC playable in more fights :'( it's much more fun that regular dps guard

Real Fashion Wars

Posted: 19 Apr 2017 11:24 AM PDT

I don't follow WoW frequently, but they have a new thing coming out they call "Trial by Style". If you haven't heard it's essentially a fashion contest. Contestants are given a few minutes to customize their character to a theme, and then they're put head to head on stage and the crowd votes for the winner. Winner goes on tournament style until the end where first and second place win a prize.

WoW may have created this system (or perhaps another MMO before it?), but GW2 can perfect it!

Drop it in the middle of LA or something, have a small buy-in so that it's a gold sink for contestants (winner wins something semi-valuable obviously), and use the vista system to give a 360degree look at contestants. Of course you should only be able to use your own wardrobe unlocks, bam horizontal progression is now competitive. xD

I guess the only issue with making it open world rather than an instanced mini-game would be guilds and friends gathering to vote only for their pals hahaha.

Fractals 1 -> 100 Marathon Event!

Posted: 19 Apr 2017 12:00 AM PDT

Hello /r/Guildwars2!

This Saturday at 8:30 AM PDT, my guildmate and I plan to do a Fractals 1 through 100 Marathon!

I'll be streaming a piss poor excuse for a Druid's POV here: https://www.twitch.tv/theguaka

My guildmate will be streaming a weak DPS, low sustain Warrior's POV here: https://www.twitch.tv/vacuuna

There may be many, many Agony Infusion giveaways! Or none. We haven't really decided yet. Probably many though.

Also, there are only two of us and we want to crush these Fractals quickly, so we're looking for Good(TM), experienced, well-equipped T4 Fractal frequenters to join us on the journey. Feel free to join for as long as you want, no obligation to stay until the end.

Wish us luck!

For those curious: I set my UI size to largest and previewed to get a better look at the new legendary armour icons. Might give an idea of what final appearance will be like.

Crimson Assassin's Torch - No Colored Lighting Effects

Posted: 19 Apr 2017 05:37 PM PDT

Why is it like this? The other SAB torches all have different colored lighting that matches the color of the torch. Is this intentional or accidental?

For reference:
Blue SAB Torch -> Light Blue Lighting
Green SAB Torch -> Green Lighting
Crimson Assassin SAB Torch -> Generic Torch Lighting

Really sad about this, considering I went out of the way to unlock the Crimson Assassin Longbow/Sword/Torch for my Condi Berserker specifically because of the red lighting.

sPvP Thief Question

Posted: 19 Apr 2017 11:05 AM PDT

I'm always getting told to cap home. On small maps over half the time I'd not even be able to full cap before being pushed and on larger maps I'd get pushed from home right after just giving them a free decap. Then I was watching Sindrener, the top EU theif, and he was laughing at a guy who told him to go Home and he explained just what I've experienced.

My question is, should a thief take home? Or should a thief rotate back to home for the +1 after another player has capped it?

[Request] Make "Character Spotlight" separate option from high shaders.

Posted: 19 Apr 2017 12:49 PM PDT

Please make a separate option for the Character Spotlight (light source on right side of camera) effect so it can be separated from the high shaders setting, similar to depth of field, ambient occlusion, or light adaption.

Whether is has an actual purpose of rim lighting the player character to contrast it from the surroundings, or if it is simply an artistic choice it would be great to have an option to turn it on or off.

Finally 80!

Posted: 19 Apr 2017 07:10 AM PDT

So after on and off play, I am proud to announce I have finally hit level 80. It ha only taken me 4 years haha. I opened my 4th year birthday present last night as I was finishing 79. So Dietfried the Charr Gaurdian is finally a big boy now. I have this sub to thank mostly, for the great tips and guides. So without you all I'd still be a lowly no good 70 something. Anyways just wanted to brag(even though it is super nothing to brag about)!

Crafting : Discovery Tool

Posted: 19 Apr 2017 04:00 PM PDT

I'm leveling my Cook at the Cooking Station and Im really annoyed by the "Discovery" Tool. In my opinion there should be a little search bar to find the stuff you wanna use. Maybe at the spot I marked : https://gyazo.com/4d87bbbaa4bfd0493b0bf8ecde5e38aa

[Build] Effective Budget Chrono with 100% Boon Duration

Posted: 19 Apr 2017 10:59 AM PDT

I've seen a lot of posts lately of people looking for a budget chrono build, and all of the responses - even the 40g chrono build - make it pretty clear that you'd need either a concentration sigil, bountiful stones, or a bunch of expensive stats to hit 100% boon duration.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vhAQNAs+dncfClfi9fCGoBEgiFVj6MIWipjMAGhirOZn2qF-TxhFQBAQJ462fweqEYO9CDSdnCq8zZzfEFQgB-e

I present to you a cheap and effective raid chrono build. 100% boon duration without a concentration sigil, without bountiful stones, and with only 4 commander's pieces. The trinkets are exotic wanderer's (moonstone) because they provide the same amount of boon duration as exotic commander's, without the expensive upfront recipe cost, though they can be exchanged with commander's if you already have the recipes or if you want some extra DPS.

It's got 1431 toughness - enough to tank - and can be raised pretty easily by using Nopalitos Saute as food (extra 70 toughness) or substituting knight's pieces in place of zerker pieces.

Sigils and wrench were deliberately left blank, since you won't need anything fancy there. You can run basically whatever you'd like, though for sigils I'd recommend Force/Accuracy or Force/Air.

EDIT: Since Leadership runes are hard to farm I've substituted Durability runes and slotted platinum doubloons into the sigil slots. Total of 98.33% boon duration, which is effectively 100% for all quickness application. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vhAQNAs+dncfClfi9fCGoBEgiFVjiMAGhi7MIWiprOZn2qF-TxhFQBDSdnCq8DAKBV3+DmTvgzeJ4P2TlAhAYC-e

Esssh..while here i hop on and ask for some minor runes, cause i had none on me and needed them for a daily, and in a few seconds got some delivered. Just seeing communities from other mmos to this one is night and day..kinda took it for granted..

Ranger or Thief? I Honestly Can't Decide

Posted: 19 Apr 2017 07:18 PM PDT

After playing several classes, I've finally decided to roll either a Ranger or Thief based on qtfy's benchmarking and my own personal thoughts on whether the class seems fun to me. But I can't decide which one I want to do first.

I've never played a Ranger in GW2 or really any other game for that matter but having different weapons other than bows at my disposal seems awesome and the idea of a condi ranger seems great.

I love the Thief. I think its animations are great and the elite spec seems fantastic.

I have questions though that apply to both classes and for anyone that has played both, please help me out by answering what you can. I've tried doing a search for this but everything is years old.

  1. If you've played both, which did you enjoy to level more and why?
  2. What are these two like in PvP? I tried playing my Thief today (D/P SB, not Staff) and got wrecked. I'm not sure if it's because I was playing it wrong or we went against a good team or not but I found it hard to play. But which do you feel is better at PvP content? Also, for just Thief, is a Staff build viable in PvP? I know what metabattle says, but I want to know if anyone has tried it and how it works.
  3. For leveling a Ranger and Thief, what weapons would you suggest?

That's it. Any other tips or useful things would be great. Thank you!
