Strider Pj.2193

Two people can take a T-3 tower, 3-4 a keep. Having supply from one person being enough to fully build siege isn’t an answer that will work.

Also.. I would continue to watch the LFG for bounty trains. It’s not perfect, but it is doubtful that Anet will change this any time soon. At least you would get it completed. Good luck.

So... guesting won’t help you find more players in a PvE map.

It took me a moment to figure it all out in the Logitech software, but once I got it, presto. OMG now I can have all mounts bound to my mouse. SO EXCITED lol. Very cool! I randomly lost mine yesterday after 2 years.. well, just the 1-5 skills. I would suggest saving the profile if your mouse software allows it. Glad I could help.

Have a 20 button razor mouse. I went into the mouse software and bound the keys to letters on the keyboard. I then assigned those letters to the skill buttons in GW2. So.. my ‘1’ key on the mouse triggers letter Y, which is bound to skill ‘1’. And so on..

And I am at work,, So.. this is kinda entertainment while I wait for the next person.

Wait wait... White knighting? Really? If anything, by keeping this thread alive we are doing the opposite. Hopefully you enjoy Cyberpunk. ?

All the maths... Nice. Still a decent chunk of change. I’ve been hoarding legendary spikes. It’s my rainy day fund if I need to sell an expensive item on the TP and don’t have the listing fee lol. Plus, you never know when Anet will introduce some weird WvW armor or weapon that costs 4 stacks or something..

So.. Yeah. They COULD, but then that would be admitting it’s a dead issue. We may know it’s a dead issue, but, again, this is kinda fun! ? > > > Wake up: u got played like all the wvw comunity for the past years: ignore and move on. Lol. You are assuming I haven’t moved on. Trust me, I come here when I can’t play. I would also ask, why does this bother you enough to post and try to argue something you state you don’t care about?

I prefer playing support instead of dps during blob fights but I switch to ranger for roaming. It’s harder on support FB, but others can note what is needed. Certainly you will be welcome in any squad (except closed guild raids) so that should help.

I am going to try to answer the question asked and assume that the OP wants to play WvW because they enjoy it and wants to be efficient making gold while they are there. My answer is by no means the ‘best’ answer, though it is the best for me: > @"Solanum.6983" said: > WvW is the least profitable game mode. Rewards are timegated to tracks that progress every 5 minutes so your Gold per hour is pretty low. > > That said, If you want to get the best value for your time I'd suggest the Gift of Battle reward Track with Boosters if you have any and WvW Reward Track Enrichment. That's pretty much all you can do. This poster gave a good answer to the question. I would add that if you run with a Zerg, bring a build that allows for tagging multiple enemies, but also sits mostly within the meta. This will allow you to be included in the Zerg by commanders and decreases your chances of getting pulled out. That build could easily be one of the scourge builds, or a Herald. There are others, but generally you will get a spot in most open squads. This will lead to more heavy loot bags and other drops. Second thing is to tag the guards of any structure you pass. This will increase your WxP leading to rank gains, and rank chests.. Get most nodes you come across. With a scourge build, it can be easy to be left behind, but this is less of a problem with mounts. Lastly, enjoy it.... Have fun in WvW. Join discord (or teamspeak), even if you don’t talk, the banter can be both annoying and funny. Don’t get offended. Honestly, this makes the ‘gold per hour’ worth it.

I wonder if we can hit 300k views prior to 100 pages. If I didn’t expect it to be removed, I would start a poll as to which would happen first: 100 pages, 300k views or alliances....

> @"ilMasa.2546" said: > can we let this topic die just like the whole "world restructuring" thing died 2 years ago? ty No. The two threads left on this continue to sit out there. Anet could easily delete them, or state ANYTHING about alliances. They have chosen not to do anything on either. So, given their unwillingness to comment OR delete/close this, it just lives on. Of course, the other way a thread like this does is people stopping commenting on it. People who don’t like the thread could ignore and move on.

There was no revenant in GW1. These were the classes: warrior, ranger, monk, necromancer, mesmer, elementalist, assassin, ritualist, paragon and dervish. The paragon used land spears and the dervish used scythes.

Wow-check, eso-check,bdo,check,ff14-check lol rogue archetype always use stealth, high evades and teleports in pretty much every mmo, it's what its thing is. Other classes have reveals, higher hp, higher armor, barriers, more access to blocks/shields, invulnerability skills and other defensive skills and in gw2 even other classes have access to teleports( rangers,guards,mesmer,ele,necro, rev etc) and also stealth( ranger,mesmer,guards with trappers etc) the real issue is rogue's are just generally disliked by the players who dont play them due to their universal playstyle, which is why the rogue complaining is the same on every mmo forum. Anet needs to learn to ignore the whining if they want to have a rogue like in their game. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Never played most of the MMOs you mentioned. But i did play WoW like 10 years ago. From what i remember, you could go to stealth only out of combat or with Vanish, that had like 2 minutes cooldown. Also ANY DAMAGE would reveal you and i dont remember having any teleport at all, but there might be one. And are you really telling me, that there are skills for reveal ? really? which one ele have? LOL > > > > > > > There is like 9 skills that have reveal in the entire game (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Revealed) and half of them are total garbage > > > > > > > > > > > > I have played rogue in wow, also above 2200 rating in arena and rbgs. WoW rogues were miles stronger than thieves in GW2. Rogues in wow could stunlock you to death and had actual teleports that worked and not GW2 version of "hey let's use long Cds or entire ini just get no valid path message". On top of it they had absolute long lasting evades and condi immunity which thief could only dream about. I spent a lot of time jumping into whole mob of enemies (high rated at that), murder someone quickly and get away. Every time. Unthinkable in GW2 even with suicide thief. You guys really don't know how good you have it with thief in this game compared to WoW and some other games. > > > > > > > > > > This 100%^ > > > > > I could only imagine the qq's if the thief in gw2 was designed similar to nightblade in eso, rogue in wow, ninja in bdo or dark runner in AAU lol. I donno something about gw2 attracts players that qq about everything that beats them a few times. There are no better players in gw2 just op builds so eventually every good build on every class gets gutted with 0 compensation leading to a game with all crappy dumbed down builds and playstyle and the few thst slip through the cracks that yr become fotm choice lol. > > > > > > > > You do get that this thread was a QQ by a thief and agreed with mostly by other thieves who also are qq'ing about it right? Not to say gw2 players don't qq about thieves or everything in general. > > > > > > Well, point is this debuff locks out the class out of their main mechanic. People justify it with thief having supposedly too much stealth and bring in other games (which is stupid at best, imo). > > > I personally would love if just for 1 day mesmers would be locked out of clones, guards out of heals/blocks, necros out of life force etc. by this this debuff in WvW. Maybe then people would understand the issue. Once again, the community should really blame themselves for having so many thieves ruining their roaming experience - you guys are the one who kick thieves from zergs thus forcing them into roaming solo existence. Some thieves switched to something zerg friendly, other perfected their roaming builds and skills. There are plenty of classes and builds that can easily deal with builds BUT most people don't run them because they prefer to zerg. And then they complain about thieves. Find the error here. > > > > Again my same argument with cad it is just sentrys and the rare watchtower. It's so you thieves can't run rampant thru the entire map. You know if nothing like this there would be even more thieves hiding right in spots to jump players out of stealth right next to towers or hiding behind the arch in the camp south of bay or right before smc on enemy side for any single heading that way because there would be nothing at all to prevent it and yeah no one wants to run core necro just in case a thief shows up. There are not plenty of ways. It's not an error. It's wvw that you play as pvp 1 v 1. You thieves play it wrong not most of the players but **anet doesn't give you a choice really** > > Well at least you realize it. Once again, i also stay by my point that **community is also to blame**. As long as thief has no spot in zerg they will 1v1 in wvw. There is no spot in the Zerg because of the design of the class. They don’t do anything well in group support or area damage that another class doesn’t clearly outshine them. That’s not a *community* problem. It’s because of the design.

You dint need to ‘overstock’’ to take T3 keeps. 10 tiers would be a nightmare for groups that actually want to play. If you actually want to ‘delink’ then delete the lower servers at the next relink and just make them a part of the server they went to.

Wonder if the wiki on alliances will be updated with a ‘not gonna happen’ statement..?

Likely they used some of those for the model.

Most of the ‘stable’ servers with a community left are host servers and listed at full. There may he one or two links that maintain a core group of guilds that may play during your normal play hours, I might suggest listing what hours you normally play and there may be a guild or two who message you that might meet your goals.

And in order to help him, he or she should understand the basic or underlying system (open minded, unbiased). Everything else comes afterwards ... one way, this or another. :) And the chart will not look any different until it is officially updated (which is usually done weekly). The fact that "populations" will be moving until then is not necessarily relevant to his concern (initially). While being open minded is important, if they transfer prior to the bandwagon, based on activity, and that bandwagon leaves the server they moved to, they get stuck on a dead link. Waiting until the aftermath, if they are determined to transfer, at least they get a few weeks of decent play.
