Games Guild Wars 2

[Jarakin]

There kinda is an alliance, but because of all the queue issues along with lack of group queues, everyone's pretty much just doing other things instead as it's impossible to put together squads with any coherency. That and the fact that there's no in-game alliance mechanism. Everything would be much more organised if these things were fixed (and I believe they are being worked on), but it's good to hear that the queues are short in the evenings just now, just how short have they been? Might have to make a bigger push in-guild if that's the case as most folk have given up on it for now.

Try it. I've experienced a lot of instant ones, and even the supposedly long home realm world frontiers borderlands haven't taken more than .. ½ and hour, say? Obviously it all varies and I abdicate myself of all responsibility for the accuracy of my estimations.

It all depends on what servers you're fighting. Queues are long if the servers you fight are "bad" and really short if one or both servers are stomping everything.

Truth.

i've got a question; i'm level 50 on my war and rank 10 or something in sPvP, but I've been waiting to open a chest and get a 1h sword for ages but it hasn't happened for me so :O is there something obvious that I'm missing that I can do to get a weapon that I can't get via chests/pvp rewards? have wanted to try a particular build for ages

Editing could use pacing with the music, not just music on top of video, but keep at it

Yep, i realise that, i did try with the first song transition to the second song and when it "kicks off", and a couple of the death blows, but i was struggeling to get to grips with how to best achieve it.

(Using Windows live Movie maker - since i cant afford to actually buy editing software)

Thanks for the feedback though, will try to do better next time!

 

[old.Tohtori]

Yeah it wasn't a you suck feedback, more of a way to improve if you can. Nobody expecting Coppola style movies on day 1

Yep, that's the way it was taken. Cheers!

The good thing about being so bad that you never kill anybody is you never have the opportunity/inclination to make a video.

Im in allot of movies!, I am just never the one that posted the movies

Spoiler

yes you are right, people (allmost) never put losing fights in their vid!

 

[Mabs]

so, quick query...
what the shuddering fuck is up with the thief dps ?

am i missing a trick here, or are they way off the chart ? :f

 

[- English -]

Thief DPS is insane (or mine is) for single target, but I pay for that with having 10k hps ...

 

[Nate]

Sure you do, one shotting players from stealth. Sounds legit.

hmm?

was pretty much insta killed twice earlier by a thief

ranger, 18k health, full orange armour + weaps

/shrug

 

[Gahn]

One shotting anything never sounds about right tbh.
I guess the problem is that Condition Damage ignores everything bar Health -.-
Tha game is still young tho, balance will eventually improve.

 

[Mabs]

problem is people lump "1 hit kill" in with "1-2 seconds TTK"

i class anything that happens fast enough that you only have time to swear as an "insta" kill

 

[Athan]

Remember there *is* a combat log, as crappy as it is, but it shows enough to know why you died in a couple of seconds.

Like when a Thief hit me for a 9k Backstab, plus a few other big hits and I went down in basically 1-2s.

As - English - said though, they can only do that if they spec all into Power/Precision/CritDmg and have fuck all hit points themselves. I also suspect you only get 9k (crit) Backstabs if a very lucky roll on the damage and/or buffed with Might/Fury by others. Highest I've seen on my mostly Berserker gear (2 pieces are Valkyrie still) Thief is 7k in PvE.

Also I've had a Warrior manage the same thing against me with 100 Blades when my "escape from immobilize" was on cooldown, so this isn't limited to Thief.

 

[AngelHeal]

Perhaps this is something they've taken from GW1.. if you watched enough guild vs guild battles (things that somehow seem missing in gw2) they tend to build up their offense till 2 or 3 classes have their best single target dmg strike up and assist eachother..

Often used by elementalists but also 1 thief often was in the assist rate..
Being defense u had to respond within a second or the teammate would be dead...
Ressurecting a teammate however was also easier.. U just get the downed penalty, after a while the downed penalties would add up too much and u had no chance vs the other team..

I'm definitely rerolling today, not sure what too, but Elementalist is balls.

Don't bother with guardian, it's shite.

lol. Guardian is the best 1v1vmany class, if you don't agree then go learn to play guardian. Ele is needed in large cooperated battles, its the best AOE damage (but pretty shite solo)

 

[Mabs]

ive been told, and i havent tried , but guardians can fuck people over with long blind spamming

/shrug

 

[Tilda]

Warrior aoe is better than ele I think
