Games Guild Wars 2

[Roo Stercogburn]

Can't you just screenshot the pages you saved?

It would take a great many screenshots to do it, then there's the hassle of sticking them together. I was just hoping for some freebie app that does it all in one go without putting a horrid watermark through it like the ones I've discovered so far.

Got given this today so thinking I'll give it a go, loved GW1 while i played it, although this doesn't look too similar from what i can see.

What's all this server ranking nonsense then? Anywhere I can basically find a whole run-down on everything GW2?

Its nothing like GW1 tbh, other than the lore. I guess http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Main_Page is a good place to start.

Servers fight against each other in WvW (kinda like RvR in doac but with with servers instead of realms), every so often (it was supposed to be 2 weeks but not sure atm) they are re-matched against other servers to keep the balance, they print a league table kinda thing on their forums about how they all perform. But, since you can transfer server for free its a bit of a shit system right now. It's a decent game for free, as long as you don't expect it to be daoc2. It's fairly simple to understand so just give it a go ;p

I've not played in 1-2 month as my rl friends quite, so WvW may be better now; but it was just a zerg fest. 5v5 is fun, but like any game you need a team as pugs are terrible.

 

[megadave]

bored after 5 minutes tbh, back to baldurs gate, perhaps another time

 

[eksdee]

Don't bother if you're not interested in PvE or 'PvP' where you circle jerk keeps and fight 100v100. ;D

Bought this late last night and just started playing it this morning. What an awesome game. Is like a cool breeze I'm coming from having played world of Warcraft for about the last five years. Much as I love that game playing guild wars 2 makes you realise all wow's flaws.

Thoroughly recommend it to anyone who is thinking about it.

[Roo Stercogburn]

Dude, hit us up on GH. We're not riding high atm but got lots of cool peeps that do WvW.

 

[wolfeeh]

I assume you mean join a guild or some such? ( I've literally played for about 6 hours and never played gw1. I'm clueless)

Sure I probably won't be on tonight as I'm just going into a 12.5 hour shift shortly and I had an hours sleep last night. Actually it probably wasn't even an hour

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

Not a particular guild as such but welcome to land in Ancient Shadows. Our guys are pretty casual. However, the wider community is great and are on Mumble for WvW every day.

Ouch, that was me a couple of days ago, though not as long a shift.

 

[Gwadien]

Still waiting on your transfer to Aurora btw Roo

 

[wolfeeh]

I'm confused!

 

[AngelHeal]

I'm confused!

I think we've all been a bit confused since the moment we chose to quit daoc

trying to recover

 

[wolfeeh]

so is ancient shadows a guild or not?

 

[Gwadien]

Ancient Shadows is a Gunnars Hold guild yes, I think Roo was generally inviting you to the server and saying hello, but saying if you wish to join the guild you can.

I don't want to make you leave Gunnars at all, don't get me wrong, but all I'm going to say is, the leveling experience up to 80 in Gunnars is pretty dull due to the population, (I leveled 2 80s, one there, and where I am now) so don't judge the game just by that server, since as I say, it's a dead/dying server.

Roo is a great guy, and I know there's other greats in his guild, Ghostie etc, they're a fantastic bunch, but since they're doing higher stuff, you may find yourself alone a lot of the time.

 

[Jupitus]

Actually, GH is most definitely not a dying server... seen alot of activity in the past 2/3 weeks and it's showing in our WvW score this week.

Then you go up a tier, get stomped because half the people go back to pve as they dont like a challenge
But it is good to see you winning.

After beating the french and germans last week, the french got a massive influx of players and AG being stomped now having took a very unusual weekend lead. Just frenchies everywhere all the time. If you see less then 30 french at once it is classed as a rarity. lol.
But having a blast in wvw after the xmas lackluster playing. Had a good night of moving no further then the NW supply camp on french boarder on tuesday. Stole their fully upgraded keep against all the odds but being outnumbered 3:1 on that frontier meant we were constantly defending it, pushing out, being pushed back etc etc.

That and many of the decent pvp'ers just gets frustrated when said challenge to appear because to many people doesn't give a shit or won't listen to what others tell them to do.

Happens a lot on my server every time we manage to get up a tier. The few pvp guilds we have left try to organize us and the rest just fucks them over so they don't bother going there.

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

The level of organisation on GH is now very high. We have deficiencies in numbers but thats about it. A few new guilds have joined the server and are integrating very well. The general feedback from them is that they have not seen this level of organisation even in the higher tiers were they came from.

Worth mentioning that the new way of organising has only recently been put into place. It was bubbling away in pre-planning just before Christmas but really only kicked in to gear this year. Too early to properly measure its success but so far its been extremely effective.

..... well fck me, couldnt done this befor?

 

[Bahumat]

Roo can I join your guild? I'm playing again but my guild aren't so I'm johnny no mates lol

 

[Gwadien]

Didn't want to play with you anyway, dickhead.

 

[Bahumat]

Didn't want to play with you anyway, dickhead.

Huh?

 

[Gwadien]

Huh?

I'm playing as well, thought you might wanna ask me first but no, fine, go away then.

 

[Bahumat]

Sorry Alex I thought you changed servers?

 

[Gwadien]

Sorry Alex I thought you changed servers?

Yeah boy, to Aurora Glade, Gunnars was pretty dead but things have picked up mind you - It's been announced that they're charging for server transfers so have a long hard think about it

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

I didn't want to lead stuff. Been actively avoiding it, other than assisting when needed. Put together a plan for reorganising the way the whole community does WvW just before Christmas, tested the water and bit by bit people contributed and now its gathering speed.

Welcome to join Ancient Shadows. There's usually people out doing WvW, though not a huge number. However, because we using the community comms it really doesn't matter because most times of day there's people to join up with. Hit up myself or Jupitus for the kind of abuse everyone's come to love

I'm running more stuff now, though work/RL interferes with it of course. Was running about 7 teams of people last night coordinated hitting different maps and for the most part talking together. I think it totalled between 80-100 people.

Trying to build up more community commanders that will fit with the philosophy I've sneaked into the core of it. The structure is a bit complex in some ways but works really well, turning multiple small guilds into pre-mades that are sometimes hard as nails. Not always, but more than enough for the mindless zergers. We need to work on beating the more coordinated players but tbh that will come. The community is buzzing right now. There'll be more bumps on the road but hopefully its going the right way. For now anyway

 

[chipper]

come blackgate we could use the numbers

saw your post on official forums roo, it was bugging me that i knew who the poster was and then i remembered you are a freddy gl with the recruitment drive

Free server transfers end with the patch on the 28th of Jan (source: http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/01/16/arenanet-announces-paid-server-transfers-and-guesting/ )
so if you want to move servers, best get it done before then if you don't want it to cost you.

 

[Tilda]

Blackgate is lots of fun tbh. Really good server/teams.
