Play on alts until Anet opens the server, again - BG players

Big fishie eat lil fishie

Life in open pvp

Or maybe they dialed the thresholds down so 60% of the servers weren't medium

All commanders should have to accept me and do whatever I tell them to.

They are the property of everyone on the server, I paid for this game!

Right after HoT is stable

I arrived literally one tick too late to contest, then stood in the newly enemy camp and laughed at the other player as he cowered outside on his mount, refusing the 1v1. I thought of this thread and wondered if this was the kind of forgotten courage the OP is longing for lol . . .

We can't blame anet, they've already made fighting as free from consequence as possible. So what can we, as players, do to discourage this reluctance . . ?

Yeah, I mean.. That's how it was in my dreams too

Whenever they get asked about it on stream they get weird looks on their faces.. Like they don't have anything done and are hoping people will forget about it kinda looks.

The Anet tag is a work thing. If you work at McDonald's and stop by for a burger on your own time, you're unlikely to have your uniform on. There's a few who play, or used to. One I knew even did GvG's.But does that mean they're in a decision making position? No. And that's the important part. The guy in charge of balance through the game's heyday was... Painful to watch in WvW, to put it mildly.

Cal's not the first dev to start a thread then go silent after 8 hours... I do believe we're on the fourth rerun of that particular bit.

Lots of BG players have alts on borlis pass, it is known. It's funny that theyve spent so much time on bp that it's switched places with the main.

Yes, we know.

And it's been explained that human players don't stand in symbols which leads to zero burning procs, which in turn highlights how inadequate torch 5 is.

Why are we still talking about gvg, there's 2-3 guilds left. When was the last ocx gvg like 3 years ago?

Collision detection, unrestricted AoE, no combat speed. Things for a different game

Scheduled events have been done in other games. They have one major drawback, lag. Gw2 chokes to death without drawing 3 map queues to one spot intentionally.

How many days now since Cal dropped a comment?

All the good spots are long found. Best way to learn those spots is to investigate after something's been ninja'd as the evidence remains.

It's not ascended armor, it's experience.

By the time a newbie has enough on the latter to win, it'll have the former.

And yeah, being gone for six years makes you newbie level

I was called the loot stick because every fight had 40 guardians spamming 1 to tag everything with a massive field aoe... And not much else.

Keep forgetting there's pvers in here

Wave of wrath super complex gameplay

For shield use you want dragonhunter, so you can use your shield bubble to push things across the damage boundary. The build is called meditrapper, it's not hard to find. Support firebrand also uses shield but it's a bad class to learn on. For vanilla guardian shield is not reccomended, you should be focusing on damage dealing as your sustain time is low.

I'd laugh at them for doing pve speed clears in gw2.

Which is the point here of the counterargument. The game is designed to limit elite success and encourage casual participation. There may be a few worriedly switching armor around, but adding 20% to a 6 second syg buff isn't a big deal.

This is not how conditions work.. unless that got changed recently too
