Games Guild Wars 2

[old.Tohtori]

Keg fight!

So far everything seems to be done right, absolutely no complaints(which is weird).

 

[Jarakin]

Nice to see some folk hanging out in Gunnar's IRC now It's going to be the new #daoc.prydwen...

 

[Everz]

Any guilds throwing out invites?

Rather lonely atm. On Everz Blackcountry atm.. pretty sure I was running WvWvW with Defiance last night :|.

 

[Poag]

At the moment my only concern about the game is the WvW queues and how the queues are run.

For example, we had members who were in queues for 3-5 hours last night and unable to get in. While others, myself included, were able to leave and join WvW at will or will a sub 5 minute queue tops.

Had some fun holding off ~70 french and ~50 Spanish doing attacks one after the other last night with 10-15 AR peeps and intermittent Russian presence. The French broke down the north east gate at the Bay keep. The spanish the South gate. We'd fight one group at the front gate, fight them off, the other group would turn up, murder the stragglers then start seiging. I think the front door when up/down 7 maybe 8 times.

At one point we had the Spanish seiging the front door and the french seiging a side door. French got in, fought them off. Closed the gate. Spanish get in, fight them off in the lord room all within about 60 seconds.

I think someone was streaming last night so there maybe videos available later.

Ancient Reign is where most of us are. if you're on Far Shiverpeaks?

This is my main concern also i was in a queue last night for over 6 fucking hours, it doesn't help that you have people purposely afk auto running their character into a brick wall so they don't log out while they go to work

 

[BloodOmen]

This has been bugged for days :>

its fixed now thankfully onto level 59 quest now :>

Probably known to most of you, but in any case.. you can queue up for all 4 WvW maps... not that it helps much with WvW queues on far shiverpeaks (FSP) though.

Anyway happy they switched the servers around.. that original pairing was pretty boring with FSP owning the entire map all the time.

Ooh great news, was confusing me greatly last night till I came upon this thread.

 

[BloodOmen]

Tis a little dwagon!

 

[BloodOmen]

Wonder if they'll ever stable out the auction house, its rarely online at the moment got shit loads of stuff to put on it.

 

[Madmaxx]

pfft I'll see your stroy dragon and raise you an Ice Dragon !

 

[BloodOmen]

I seen that Ice Dragon yesterday... it twatted me while I was exploring Frostgorge

 

[Gwadien]

You top level etc now Blood?

I thought you weren't even getting the game?

 

[old.Tohtori]

One thing that might be a slight minus to the game is that i'm really not sure which skills to use. Got a flamethrower, which seems to render the rifle/gun skills useless.

 

[Athan]

So practice with them all, look for synergy both between the variety of things you have and what other professions bring.

You're really not saying "waaaaaaaah, this game offers me too much choice within the one class!", are you ?

 

[old.Tohtori]

I'm saying that it's a bit unclear what the practical difference is with some skills, as said, flamethrower seemingly making rifle/pistols useless.

Interesting that your reply to first slightly critical post was "you're saying waaaah?", implying i'm a baby for having any critique

 

[Everz]

Hit Level 23 tonight and just 10% of the map completed. I swear I'm missing out a few things aswell, does the xp scale or will get sweet FA for completing a 1-15 zone?

Keep playing with different weapons flame thrower is only short range right?

actually im in same boat with Engineer it seems to be a tough class to puzzle out, Ranger on the other hand is super easy in comparison

 

[old.Tohtori]

Yeah, i -think- it's a close quarters semi-aoe skillset, while grenades are a long range aoe(fully) and turrets are meant to keep you mobile with rifles/pistols, but as Ormorof said, the class is bonkers

You do get rewards for completing maps, little chest thingy.

Also if you do your daily achievement you get a chest. Can't remember for the life of me what's in them though

 

[Ormorof]

all sorts of things, some turn you into mob looking things, some give xp boosts, others let you make weapons look like other weapons etc

 

[mooSe_]

chests i get always have a mask or gloves for an armour class i can't use

 

[Ormorof]

i had a look at elementalist the other day and was stunned by the variety of shiz they can do, i initially was like "wut only 4x 5 spells?!" but every single weapon (and offhand) has a different spell set, freaking awesome but also confusing

I think thats one reason engineer has all the packs - flamethrower, bomb, grenade etc - as they only have pistols + 2h guns (and shield for offhand i guess)

 

[eksdee]

Thing I found with Elementalist though is that it seems like there's a lot of variety, but broadly most of the skill setups cover the same things - a DD, a snare, a utility spell of some sort (be it a gap closer, a stun, an escape mechanism etc). Obviously the class is one of the most varied in the game but it kind of felt like most things in the game for me - it flatters to deceive.

I'm very interested to see how 5v5 and WvW develops though, despite my huge negativity towards the game I do hope I'm proved wrong and that it's a great success. I'll even eat my hat and buy the game if the PvP turns out to be good.

 

[~Latency~]

I agree, the weapon choices/spells are sooo confusing (messing around with all of the classes but my highest is lvl 10 ele, did no prior reading up about the game) :< it's not the amount of depth that's a problem it's just difficult to wade through and separate the p00p from the good builds playing casually

At the end of the day use which ever weapon combo you like.

 

[Shagrat]

is anyone else getting weird lag issues when playing this game?

Can play it fine most of the time (like all weekend, during the day) but every evening most of the time between 7pm and 10pm it runs like a dog, I can sit and chat in guild chat but cant cast, move to different zones or cast spells etc they just queue and never happen then after a while I get booted with a code=7 error.

I've run the .exe with -diag at the end and all the hardware and network connection tests run fine and all its ping and route traces to the various arenanet servers it tests to all complete ok, then I'll log back in and the same thing happens.

Then late in the evening itll suddenly be fine again, I'm with BT so I cant see it being some traffic shaping or whatever as I can find noone else posting about it on the BT forums.

It's very odd.

 

[TheDoon]

The WvW in an organised group is awesome in this game, everything warhammer should of been, zero lag for me aswell.
