Sorrow's Depths(?) has one of the worst boss fights I've ever encountered. Have fun with those robots guys - especially the second one (which you may have to fight twice).

I like how they managed to outdo the daze mechanic from WoW, impressive.
Everything post-40 knocks you down, chains you in place, makes you limp for 12 seconds or gets you in combat which makes you move slower.
And they even put a ton of mobs right next to roads, so you can't even follow roads without getting molested.

I am THIS close to following you on that one. Trying to run two crafts (Artificing in the other corner) that need the same fine crafting materials is a fucking nightmare.

Glad I sponged the XP I needed off that then.
Blinking around on Guardian is pretty fun. Was able to escape a bunch of Risen by blinking around towards the ocean.
Eh, I didn't do the Yak stuff even though I meant to and I'm not having much issues with leveling.

Does anyone else get frequent network errors when trying to view/join PVP games?
I'm also getting extremely frustrated with almost never getting to PVP on the same team as some of my friends. 90% of the time it puts us on opposite teams, which almost instantly makes me just want to stop playing.

You can watch PVP games?
Didn't you hear? Queue's and Yak farmers are why Ascension couldn't win!

Seriously, it was an issue, but it was nice to get a lot of karma when we've crushed the other servers into not wanting to play for the next half a day.

Damn bots killed the yaks =/
Definitely not bots killing it, not that people weren't botting, but even if they couldn't the yaks would be insane. The karma/xp for effort was just insane.

We're getting absolutely destroyed in WvWvW right now. There's like 4:1 jade quarry people in a bg to us. Like nothing you can do.. just a huge zerg vs a handful of people.
So we get the uneven buff
How the hell is that suppose to help turn tides?
you do less for more!... ok It doesnt help for shit
Every time we have been matched up with JQ we smash them during the day, then lose overnight to their horde of EU and Oceanic players. They basically field max size groups at all hours and we very much don't. They need to get matched up to another server that has more off-peak hour players like they do.
View the list of PVP games, sorry.
I'm still not fond of 3 separate, identical battlegrounds for WvWvW to represent realms. I would rather have seen one large, varied map where a huge castle could represent each realm in each of the corners, then smaller castles and outlying settlements. Right now the combat is way too spread out, not very focused and I honestly don't even feel like joining.
Right now it's just a massive amount of space, way too much endless running, spawn points being miles away from the action and a complete lack of focus for pub players.
They should also add some 'happy hours' where you get some rewards, double of everything or something or work off a 'round based system' where it needs a set amount of players to start, so you either have certain hours of real populated battleground or you know there's a fair fight going on. Maybe that's just me but right now, WvWvW is a poor, unfocused experience.

Tip for crafting.
For first 20 crafting skill lvl reforge all basic materials like copper ore/jute scraps/green wood log into higher tiers (Refinement tab). When You finish with those 20-25 lvl sell everything You get and buy high tier components like Dagger Hilts or Insignias on Auction House.
Cost of mats for Vital Jute Insignia on AH = 1 silver and 50 copper
Cost of Vital Jute Insignia on AH = 18 copper
Cost of Rawhide Glove Strap mats 38 copper, on AH 9 copper
Cost of Rawhide Glove Lining mats 57 copper, on AH 3 copper
So, You can sell basic mats for 2 silver, 40 copper and then buy final parts for 30 copper. What is more funny that when You sell crafted gloves in vendor You will get something like 22-30 copper back

So is WvW as terribly shitty as my first impressions suggest? Gather group of people, shoot at each other at range, aww their guild brought more people along, you lose. Unless you guild has more members, yay you win. Player skill? Tactics? Nah they're a very verrrry second place concern compared to who zerged more players.

Thank the lord that the Dolyak farming is finally being fixed.
I don't think it should be too troublesome to keep the rewards but stop the farming.
They could make the rewards diminish for constantly repeating it? Will still reward those who are escorting the occasional one that is NEEDED at a keep, but then won't work so for people that just constantly escort them in a corner of the map for XP.

Finally sorted out the controller settings and wow what a difference! It is simply amazing apart from the odd glitch that my settings suddenly change from set 1 to set 4 controls totally changing the layout of the pad and few unresponsive issues but i hope this will get fixed no doubt
If you have an AMD card, use RadeonPro.
It's a background app with a lot of features, but one of the most useful being a customizable FPS counter and a dedicated screenshot button. It can save images in any way you want.
I am on the same page. It's a fucking nightmare. I might just change Tailoring to Jewellery crafting, or cooking.

Ah okey, I'm just going by general impressions and my time in WvWvW in the beta. Will have to see for myself once I've leveled up some.
Thought I don't expect too see many of those random 1v1 moments.
BrettWeir
Member
Well..I mean 1v1 isn't really a part of wvw either.
There's a lot more that goes into coordinating sieges, counter sieges, etc than just 'hey everyone attack the thing everyone else is attacking'
I can assure you if you were in the heavy HoD/NSP/BG fighting over the last few days before AA bailed
Who is AA?
Ascension Alliance
Ascension Alliance, tales of Tyria/team legacy/team liquid forum guild and alliance. Spouted insane amounts of spin and PR pre-release to get a HUGE mess of people to play with them...then bailed when we destroyed them in wvw and blamed it on everyone but themselves.
The drama coming from Freelancer, the leader of the alliance, for the past month or two has been immensely amusing.

Wait. Where can I see this? I want to see "Gaming's Prodigal Son" QQ'ing into a corner. I was almost satisfied with his "woe is me" crap regarding not being able to take advantage of the TP the first week and a half.
Generally guru, also some on the northern shiverpeaks site that THEY made, and now have abandoned, sadly both are moderated super heavily in his favor so a lot of the juicy stuff gets shut down.
There was a great thread the first day where he proclaimed he'd put TA and Jade Quarry and everyone else 'down'...when the matches were SUPER bugged out. He got shut down pretty soundly.
Then once we (Henge) got matched vs them and Blackgate...it turned really sad. Every post from anyone in team legacy was about how they were getting 2v1'd and we had an alliance with Blackgate.
Then we got matched again and it was about how queues are too hard and they can't get in but we can (Because Henge clearly doesn't have 8 hour queues for wvw, etc).
Then it was that everyone is farming dolyaks because that only happens on their server....on and on.
Latest drama was them ninja transferring and trying to deny it until after it had happened. Which has now left us with 4 days of HoD vs NSP vs BG.
We desperately need to be matched against someone else soon, them leaving has definitely made it a bit sad. Freelancer is a joke though.

Yeah i know, but theres nowhere else i can get that experience either. For me that is the ultimate form of world pvp, but hardly any mmo does it right.
That sudden adrenaline rush and satisfaction that washes over you when ur standing over the corpse of ur enemy with only a sliver of health left, feels sooooo good.
You haven't played Guild Wars have you, game can get brutal like that.
Did you go to a trading post vendor dude? Have to go to them to pick up stuffs.
I'm part of the ascension alliance. We left northern shiverpeaks long ago, a subtle transfer. It was advertised that our server was a free win server and it ended up with a huge influx of players that took up queue time, which made us have very long queues. So we have moved to a undisclosed server at the moment and are having fun as an alliance, not just seperate guilds.
It happened like 2 days ago, when the losses came hard, and it's no secret since it's plastered all over the forums, don't worry. Hope it's working out, have heard there's no queues over on ET for you guys! Hopefully we stop getting matched with NSP/BG and can fight again.

So, how did you guys manage to link your headstart accounts with your retail serial keys? I seemed to have no luck doing it as, 1) it told me that my password was invalid when I tried to enter my old account info in the space that asks if I already had a GW account, 2) the reset password function isn't working, and 3) creating a "new account" means I can't access my old characters.
Hopefully, customer support can sort this mess out...
