| I think Defiance "damage" should be shown above the enemy in blue numbers just like damage Posted: 25 Jan 2018 05:51 AM PST Defiance is one of the most important mechanics for bosses, but it's almost completely hidden. Your skills don't even say how much "damage" you're actually doing. I think ArenaNet should make a change to where any time defiance damage is applied (via soft or hard CCs), we should see a number shown above the enemy in blue just like we do for damage. It could be defiance blue text or with a defiance blue background/visual like Retaliation and Confusion damage have (or condition damage if you have the setting where it's combined). This would help players know when they're doing defiance damage, and could help them learn what skills do it since there's no real other indicator. Being able to see blue values suddenly appear when fighting Champions or bosses would at least help teach players that they are actively doing it, and when they're not doing it. This can easily lead to them asking questions, learning what skills do the blue damage, etc. Plus, it'd help if we could reference the blue damage when we're telling them to CC, or not CC. Edit: Since that seems to be an initial concern: Yes, with relevant game options to combine (for conditions), minimize, or possibly hide the floater text if you so choose. I'm not a monster here... :D [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

SettingsOne of the first and easiest things to do for sPvP is to change your Game Settings. Various sPvP sites have their own guides but here are the summaries. GraphicsThe lower your graphics the faster the game runs and therefore the more easily you can see and react to playing the game. Shadows and Reflections hog the most resources. Character limit and quality aren't as important since there are not more than 10 people in a basic match. Keybindings

General
GameplayPvP is the place to learn all the mechanics and nuances of the great active combat system of GW2. If you don't know them, you will learn by receiving them. Don't worry, being on the receiving end is actually the first step to learning it. Downed PlayersDefense

CopyingThe easiest way to start playing PvP is just to copy a build from a website or community dedicated to pvp. Currently metabattle.com is the most popular and up to date. The comment section will gladly point out any errors or preferences. Building your own.
Pre GameMap ComprehensionThe first step to a match is choosing the map. Most players focus on the gimmick of the map. However pay attention to the layout of the map as well. Does this map have lots of ramps, stairs, and platform? Am I good enough as jumping up or teleporting through them quickly? Are there perches where I can snipe with my range attacks. Is there a ledge I can attack from then quickly jump off to avoid damage?

PVP the Though Process
While in a game, when in doubt ask yourself, "how can I get more points or prevent the opponent from getting points?"
Whoever has the the better build and skill skill will win.
Two players will always beat one unless they are unskilled or one is very skilled. Ideal for +1 players.
Three totally dominates. It's the point that you should ask yourself, "this is overkill am I wasting time, power, pressure by being here?"
Same rules apply in PvE as PvP. If there is something between you and your attacker, it's a miss. Dip behind a pillar, box, or even drop a step to prevent line of sight.
Minions, clones, and pets can detect people in Stealth. Watch where they go and act appropriately.
It's always easy to go down than to climb up.
Look to the horizon. It is about 25% from the top of the screen. You can often see opponent faster this way than on the minimap.
Be aware of the minimap. Look at how your team and opponents are moving. Are they alone? Why are they taking that path? How many are there? 2? 3? All?
Every kill gives 5 points. Expeditious retreats is a valid tactic since you are denying the opponent 5 points. If one opponent constantly kills you or you are unable to kill them; avoid them.
No Vendetta's. It is very easy to fixate on play opponent and get revenge kills. Always remember "is this going to get the most points?"
Only ONE person needs to be on a Point to capture it. More people on a Point does nothing to speed it up or down. Player say "fight on point" because if one is downed, there is another to replace them and prevent the Point shifting to the opponent. Remember that the goal is to get to 500 points the fastest. If you kill one player (easily) off the Point that's still 5 points and one less person to worry about.
If a class is constantly killing you or you hate them, play them. Remember you can PvP at level 3 and everything is unlocked. Whip up a character, load a build and play them. You will find out all of their strengths and weaknesses and therefore ways to counter them. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 25 Jan 2018 11:32 AM PST When you sneak in the Bandit cave and get a costume and first meet Switch behind the door and he introduces himself, that's your characters response. Or is it just common that dudes named "Shadow" get out of prison at some point during stories? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Can't play on your friend's "Full" world? (repost) Posted: 25 Jan 2018 12:28 PM PST Over the past couple of months, I've been working on this. An app which sounds an alarm when population on a full world is no longer full. You can monitor any world you want. Instead of manually checking world pop, all you need to do now is choose which world you want to join and an alarm will sound when population decreases. https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.moducode.gw2serveralarm.eerf I originally posted this about a month back. However, Google repeatedly removed my app from the store because I was breaking their "impersonation" policy. When I asked them exactly what I was doing wrong, they said they weren't allowed to give specifics. I just gave up on putting it back on the store, until recently. I changed the app icon and all other assets (removed the GW2 "dragon" logo). At the moment, it's a beta release. If I don't get another strike after a week or 2, I'll move it to production (being publicly viewable) and update with a paid version to remove ads. Enjoy.

| Mimic mirage Skyhammer meta? portal jump pad things Posted: 25 Jan 2018 09:07 AM PST No matter how hard you try we will keep finding our way to the wurms. And the bases. And other stuff. Its just a fun little thing, all of this requires a lot of effort and none of it can really be used to your advantage in a real pvp scenario so i thought it would be safe to post. https://gfycat.com/SpryRegularClownanemonefish https://gfycat.com/WeeklyEvenGrub https://gfycat.com/BarrenOpulentCoypu [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Recommended games for curing burnout? Posted: 25 Jan 2018 11:24 AM PST I'm not really aiming to complain about GW2. I've put hundreds of fun-filled hours into this game. But as time goes on I want to log in less and less between major updates. It seems my primary motivation for getting on at all is for something else to do for an hour while I kick back to some tunes. I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced something similar and found any other games that they've gotten into and pairs well with just kicking back to music for a while?

| So what are the Pact/Orders of Tyria up to lately? Posted: 25 Jan 2018 09:44 AM PST You'd think with all of the hubbub about Kralky and Joko they'd be active, especially when we see that in LS3 they're still hanging around. It's weird that even with Logan being marshall we'd see more action. Also is Soulkeeper stuck in Bloodstone Fen or did she finally waypointed away? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Top things any player should know? Posted: 25 Jan 2018 11:16 AM PST Do you have a quality of life tip, an awesome armor/weapon skin or something Else you World wish you had known earlier? Share it! I recommend The Mystic Salvage kit, 250 uses and good percentages, then you dont need The copper or silver feds :) [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Getting serious desync issues from nowhere (been going on for 3 weeks). Can somebody please help me? Posted: 25 Jan 2018 09:38 AM PST Hey guys! I posted a similar thread a while ago and I have been getting really bad desync issues ever since. I get desync while in sPvP even with under 50 ping which is so weird, and sucks as my main is a thief. It happens in 70% of the games I play in sPvP and also sometimes in WvW. PvP is all I play in gw2 so these problems really makes me consider quitting. Not sure why it happens as I have a really good net. Does somebody have any idea? Is it just me? Thanks EDIT; Sometimes I bump up to 350 ping from nowhere, which is super weird. Has to do with the servers.... [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Need help with my charr's looks Posted: 25 Jan 2018 09:41 AM PST So I wanted to give some sort of new look for my charr ranger (medium armor) and it's based on a color scheme of: cold/crisp greens - teal - black But I need help figuring out weapon skins / backpack and if I should do something to his current look to improve it. I have access to nearly all dyes and mount skins, just need to figure out what kind of backpack / weapon skins I should go for and if I could change the armor skins or if theyre good as of now. Color suggestions are also welcomed as long as they fit the theme and are specificly cold colors. I use shortbow and dagger/torch Attachments (using depth of field in screenshots to bring better focus): https://imgur.com/xwcVAlO https://imgur.com/sFuS56R https://imgur.com/5bBGtk8 https://imgur.com/WljPG7J I also got no idea what I'm going to do with my springer and jackal. Green and black seem harder to work on with them. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 25 Jan 2018 02:42 PM PST Guys, We killed it finally ! Dhuum the final boss of wing 5 in challenge mode ! [DCMD] is a guild we created to gather people for the kill, this kill required a lot of organisation from us and especially our leader Cupi, our spanish friend Makron and our french girl Feria. The team is unusual, 3 necro to epi bounce on echo, a holo to help us in pre-event and for pinpoint. I have 461 dhuum files coming from arcdps, we started the 10 of january and today is the 25. We went for it everyday from 19:00 to 23:00, breaks were the sunday and monday. I want to point out the very lucky gentleman that joined from LFG 30 minutes before the kill :p Video on youtube incoming with bonus parts <3 The Squad : Mirage (green) : JackyGnu.2486 Chrono : Dangerous.4670 Chrono tank (commander) : Cupi.2893 Druid (kiter) : EvullDeeds.3479 Druid : Feria.9685 Warrior (green): royaleagle.5962 Holosmith (Guild creator) : Makron.3178 Scourge : paddystar.2879 Scourge : lordofsorrow.9785 Scourge : aries.6548 Log : https://www.gw2raidar.com/encounter/ArousedDukeInformationsPanelChurches [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Most "simple" and noob-friendly Roaming profession? Posted: 25 Jan 2018 12:06 AM PST Good morning everyone! Based on a previous forum thread, I understand Mesmer, Mirage, Thief (both specs), Ranger (both specs), Holosmith and Spellbreakers are the "top" professions for roaming due to things such as sustainability, stealth, etc. For a player new to roaming, which profession/spec would you consider to be the most noob friendly? I zerg with FB and for open world/everything else, I play Condi Mirage but roaming is it's own beast and I would like to explore it more (preferably not as Mesmer/mirage or FB..looking for something new). I do not have much experience with the other aforementioned professions which is why I am reaching out to you all so I can start at square 1. Thank you for reading. [link] [comments] |
