Additional filter for both crafting recipes selection, and TP browser: "locked"...so we can find craftable or sold items that we didn't unlock yet (for craftables, it would show which ones skin we didn't unlock yet, not which recipes we did not unlocked yet)

You really think they're so sophisticated that they can sense other players around and fight accordingly?

> - 50 vs 5 at 1 corner of spawn on EBG, no siege allowed at spawn, how do you win? Please elaborate..

Hard in any MMO out there. But, in tower/keep fights, easy in DAOC...even in open field. My best ever score was killing 96 with group of 8, in just few seconds. beauty of unrestricted AOE. Its fun because it makes cry people who want to win solely by sheer numbers...it either makes them quit, or learn to play, and both are good in a long run for a game

Work for it. Defenders should literally be holding every advantage. As it stands, defending is an uphill battle which it really shouldn't be. A group of 10 SHOULD be able to hold off a group of 30 that isn't prepared to spend 3 supply for every 1 the defenders use.
Short video how to properly implement it :)

I've been sarcastic in my post...I like to play games that are at least a bit logical, and part of logic is to give advantage to defenders, not to attackers

There was still not enough people to generate new instance...only way (if you're in big and helpful guild) would be to call them travel to Jahai to
force new map spawn

Exactly same here

Same here...probably time for someone to get rid of credit cards and introduce blockchain payments

One of tourneys today was won by 3 condi rev team
They spawn camped us in final match
-
While many people love wins because opponent team lost members and quit (because "free" gold and stuff)
I don't like it because its not counted toward "Emblem of the Tournament" achievement. What is the reasoning
for that, and what the rest of community think, should it be counted?
-
Still bugged, and this basically put me out of tourneys :(
-
Same happened to me, 2 or 3 times actually

-
I use hammer and everything is fine...moment when I switch to mace/shield, my Facet of chaos
automatically get activated. Its extremely annoying in PVP, but acts same everywhere.
Yesterday it didn't work like that, and I don't recall doing anything that would cause such behavior
-
3k ping, mostly in icebrood saga areas, but it feels like 30k really...i press skill and it fires few minutes afterwards
Ots not like that all the time, but quite often, more often than not actually
-
WvW is not designed to promote any kind of competitiveness....even in T1 tier most of players are not interested in competing,
but in crushing enemy any way possible. Also, Anet didn't care to develop any kind of digital carrot to improve on such behavior
IMHO, thats far bigger problem than if some OP-ed skill hits for 5k or 6k
-
I don't have fun, I admit. Nothing changed fun-wise
-
I saw the title and expected this to be a joke post.
Disappointed

Battles on my server were also far bigger than I ever saw in GW2...remember, RVR area cap was 3000 players across all zones...can GW2 handle 3000 players on 4 maps?

I honestly think that its very hard to balance for small scale, due to way how game is designed, mostly with zerg fights in mind
So I find most of small scale fight videos in gw2 boring
Mythic killed DAOC with their always OP-ed expansion classes, as if they wanted you to buy expansion, while they already
had nerfs ready once everyone buys it and whining becomes unbearable :)

Looks like you have problem with understanding what I wrote so I'll try to type slower:
1. I said that I play GW2 because most of friends left DAOC...unlike GW2 where I don't need community at all, DAOC was heavily dependant on community
2. I said 3000 was CAP, of course not all went to RVR, although during relic raids (while it still mattered) mostly everyone would go to RvR zone, even
sub level 50 people. Also, there was often queue to log because server was full (granted, only on few most populated servers, but still...)

It was (in theory) almost 2 minutes of mez or root, and yet CC in that game was LESS annoying than here in GW2...you had classes that could demezz, you had resistances of all kinds that reduced duration, it would break on damage, and you had equally long immunity after that...if CC was your problem in DAOC, you were either new to game, or bad player or played in bad groups.

8vs8 scene in DAOC was as good as PVP can be, didn't find anything remotely as fun

WvW is designed to be fun if all servers have queues on all maps...otherwise it leads to PVD and very unbalanced matches...theres no 8 vs 50 battles where 8 can win or hold chokepoints like in DAOC for example

Also you are looking through rose-tinted glasses, because balance in DAoC was absolutely horrendous when it came to small scale. Even in large scale its balance was far worse than GW2 ever was. It was fun for it's time, but that's because there wasn't much to compare it against.

> FYI that player is not solo. If you'll kindly look at the top of their screen, they are *paying an additional monthly subscription* to pretend to play solo.
Pretty much everyone did it :)
But after WvW season 1 I went back to DAOC for 1 year, and still found it better PVP game, only reason I came back to GW2 is that theres not enough
friends playing DAOC anymore

You can already make it through wvw or pvp
