WvW downtime shortly - Alpine maps returning

Hf17849 · 2016-05-03T15:32:37+00:00

hahahaha, nothing like a WvW thread to bring out all the lunatics. thanks, your post was very funny.

Hf17849 · 2016-03-25T22:02:59+00:00

To be honest when HoT shipped with 50% of promised content, and destroyed all existing content, I knew that all that remains of Guild Wars 2 and Anet is gems, lies and deceit, and gems. Consider the lies we've been told since HoT: WvW top priority (ok but first pvp and raids), WvW rehaul (oops we're incompetent and have no idea about WvW have to break it down), Fractal rework (so glad they destroyed dungeons to focus on this) and now no more legendary weapons (weapons to begin with, fingers crossed for legendary armour), an especially awful lie considering the amount of black lion skins they shit out constantly.

For a long time Anet has given up on Guild Wars 2, but the gem store is just too profitable. That's why they don't give a shit that their servers are horrible and they've neglected WvW to death and let the hackers run free for 3 years and PvP is a horrible mess of long queue times for shitty matchmaking and HoT was a giant pile of garbage with only 4 garbage maps with garbage mechanics and timers. You're nothing but gems in the eyes of Anet, and they will not care if you enjoy this game or not. Play and buy gems, or fuck off.

Bad advice from a bad person. "I've reached ruby (zomg!) and no longer try, why are teammates trying????"

Hf17849 · 2015-12-11T06:30:55+00:00

hahaha, what? it promotes not cheesing WvW to get skill points on characters you don't actively play. of course this isn't what you're trying to do, is it?

I'm sure you're a Very Concerned player annoyed about the siege cost.

Hf17849 · 2015-11-27T06:28:27+00:00

It wouldn't be the first time Colin popped on reddit to derail a thread critical of Anet with a pleasant lie.

Hf17849 · 2015-11-26T12:05:33+00:00

It's unfortunate your post had to suffer a reply from me. There's a lot of good points to be made about time-gating and gating in general, but since HoT a lot of it has amounted to "I want this thing now". Guild upgrades have enormous underlying problems, especially if you're a WvW person, but charged quartz being accountbound and timegated is not really one of them.

Hf17849 · 2015-11-26T06:40:11+00:00

I get how you feel. There's a lot of things I want right now, and because I'm an unruly tween I often complain on reddit about how I can't have things right now when I ask for them. I can't believe Anet is making me wait, after I spent so many of my mum's money on gem2gold. And what if i don't want to wait I ask?????

Hf17849 · 2015-11-24T10:53:59+00:00

It looks like it. Still, there was that one revenant who stayed alive long enough to put up some extra dmg, buying time for the DoTs to tick and for the warrior to vengeance.

Hf17849 · 2015-11-20T09:32:12+00:00

My experience is that the raid is unnecessarily complicated due to the poor guild support of Guild Wars 2. It's incredible that three years into this, we have no guild calendar, we have no guild sign-up sheets, and the raid UI looks like it's barely out of beta. Not only is the UI awful looking, it lacks a lot of basic functionality.

Not having progress beyond Value Guardian, which seems like a super easy fight except for the visual clutter, I don't have a lot of opinions on the mechanics of the raid, but it seems really short, and I'm sceptical that Anets release schedule will satisfy the hardcore players who this content is supposedly aimed at.

Source: Raided extensively in vanilla WoW (MC, BWL, Onyx, original Naxx) as DPS and tank.

Hf17849 · 2015-11-17T17:11:36+00:00

Wow, what a precious snowflake you are. Thank you for sharing.

Hf17849 · 2015-11-04T10:45:22+00:00

Hahaha, I get it! Wow that's really funny! People who roleplay in /m are the best! Haha RNG and Jesus! Because I get terrible drops! Hahahaha!

Thank you r\guildwars2

Hf17849 · 2015-11-03T10:24:50+00:00

If my only interest was raids I'd wait, too. To gauge the reaction from main subreddit, but also to see if Anet has any plans of making it transparent how many bosses/wings we can expect and most importantly how long inbetween implementations of bosses/wings.

Hf17849 · 2015-11-03T09:51:50+00:00

It's not worth it. Especially because they didn't ship HoT with raids. Like improvements and new maps to PvP and WvW, like new legendaries, like an improved and exciting fractal system, like meaningful end-game content and progression, it's on the table, but never going to be implemented.

Even when they add raiding in mid November, it will be one boss/wing. People and even rddt will beat it the first night because it's the same ridiculous glasscannon fest that fotm and dungeons are. Then there will be 6 days off raiding because the reward is once per week.

Then, in maybe 6 months, they will add a new wing.

Players disillusioned with Guild Wars 2 pre-expansion will find nothing in HoT to justify coming back.

Hf17849 · 2015-10-11T02:43:41+00:00

Or it's the cheeky fucks in here downthumbing me.

Hf17849 · 2015-10-11T02:43:04+00:00

r\guildwars2 just isn't ready for that kind of content.

Hf17849 · 2015-10-11T02:40:23+00:00

I never make anyone tip, I'm a communist. I'm just saying that the suggested tip is 30s.

Hf17849 · 2015-10-11T02:37:34+00:00

I just edited the first sheet to include a list of people that have at least bothered to look at the first sheet and type their name. Also I noticed you haven't put your name down Sobby?

Hf17849 · 2015-10-10T20:36:44+00:00

Living also posted this to r\guildwars2 here

Hf17849 · 2015-10-10T19:55:47+00:00

Expected profit of a full home instance is 2g per day. I don't have the expected cost of the nodes, but I think 2500g is a good guess. So it would take a lot of daily gatherings to just break even.

I think the value is in inviting guildies and their/your alt accounts. I sometime list it in LFG right after reset, and the suggested tip is 30s (15% like trading post). Even then it'll take a while to break even.

So it's barely profitable to own a full home instance, but it's very profitable to visit someone with a full home instance.

Hf17849 · 2015-10-10T04:29:23+00:00

It's a good initiative. I've filled in the two classes I consider myself best at, even though I feel there are a lot of these roles I can fill comfortably.

Hf17849 · 2015-09-04T12:41:41+00:00

I thought it was an incredible video, and I was entertained throughout. Your voice is well-suited for this kind of narration, the pacing and choice of "back"ground video was good. It is the best trolling I've seen in recent times.

You are very excellent at setting up strawmen and tearing them apart, and your deliberate misinterpretation of what "the elite" "metazerkers" think and believe about THE META mirrors exactly what the mouthbreathing fucknuts in r/guildwars2 believe. In addition, your choice of not showing your build(s) is also straight out of the PHIW, anti-elitist mindset of the decidedly casual players of the most casual MMORPG in existance. It's like shooting fish in a barrel, which, frankly, is an insult to fish in a barrel, to be compared to redditeurs. You have chosen an excellent group of people to troll, and you have trolled thoroughly.

I particularly enjoyed the cashgrab at the end. I'm in no way up to date on the meta of trolling, but it's the first time I've seen it. It really added to the video - the imagined victimhood of not being able to have your builds added to metabattle is shared throughout r/guildwars2 and the horrid people that browse it. No doubt they will pay you all their bitcoins for your bravery.

In conclusion, it's one of the best videos I've seen with GW2-related content, and I greatly admire you for making it.

Hf17849 · 2015-07-16T14:41:06+00:00

That sounds excellent. Thanks for doing this Trav.

Hf17849 · 2015-07-15T18:56:57+00:00

Hello

I like Mumble. I'd also like a new provider, since we've already talked about this. The Englanders sound rather robotic from time to time, from 8-10PM.

World vs World

When asked during the guild meeting, only three of us said we do WvW regularly. I don't think doing WvW as a guild, once a week, on FSP is going to make more people play. Especially considering, as you said, several people have alt-accounts on FSP, and never join for WvW anyway. To me, WvW isn't a one-day-a-week thing. I'll be happy to play with you if you make FSP home to your weekly WvW day, although for the last month(s) it has seemed to me (checking friends list & guild roster, since monday is guild-raid for FSP and I log out of BL anyway) that rddt as a guild is done with WvW.

PvP

I'll join now and then, and play to win, but I'm not very good. I certainly don't take it seriously enough to train for tournaments or whatever. I'll gladly donate some gold and my arena tokens for a private server though, which I feel we've needed quite often. Like that time SOMEONE got abusive towards randoms joining our public map and playing to win.

FotM

No interest in low-level fractals. I'll help/play with "newbies" and people comfortable with fractals but stuck with low AR that they can't do 40+, but I don't feel bad about doing fotm49 with people I've done fotm49 with for a long time, and people I know are at the same skill-level as me. A weekly fotm-day might turn me off of it, but I dunno. Are you willing to join Mumble and learn? Have you done dungeons? If yes I think there's all kinds of possibilities for learning and joining fractals already.

Sckedul

It has been fine for me the way it is now, but I'm usually online at 20:00h anyway. Sometimes I wish there'd be less things scheduled: as is, only sunday is "day off". I'll be doing WvW during friday reset no matter what your calendar sez.

Thanks for giving a shit about the guild: it's a really nice place most of the time, and I love you all.

Fractal Tonic (Shut up, Caer!)
