Not going to lie, I did this once way back a long time ago.
I knew people were pugging tPvP; I didn't know one could solo queue for it.
This means that if we can just put together 5 people on Mumble, even if all don't have mics, we could roll people and get nice rewards. So this is a new call for anyone who wants to group up for non-regular, semi-casual tPvP.
I say semi-casual because we would try to win the match and hone our builds, but otherwise not take it seriously.

months ago I had a damn avalanche of PC issues, overheating and bluescreens (couldn't identify the error message at the time), ended up having to replace my entire cooling solution and a hard drive as well as do a windows reinstall, updating every last chipset/controller driver etc. Since then I hadn't had a bluescreen and performance has been great. Last night there was a bluescreen waiting for me when I got home. Thought nothing of it (a bluescreen every three months is certainly tolerable) and restarted, windows came up fine, and I wound up playing like 4 hours of GW2.
Went to bed with it still working fine, woke up and it's hung on a bluescreen again (KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR). Reboot and this time it can't get into Windows. Gets to the startup repair and tries the auto system restore point. No dice, bluescreens before hitting the desktop, same error. Shut it off and went to work.
That error typically comes from some piece of hardware or another. Could be another one of the drivers or a stick of RAM. But honestly I'm too fed up to even troubleshoot this thing anymore, I've poured tons of time into it and got a solid 5 years out of the machine, I'd rather just yank out my 780SC and my SSD and blow up the rest. I'd been having occasional USB controller issues still and the motherboard and CPU are both dated.
sigh. this is punishment for not having played the story missions yet I guess, I'll wind up having to play them at 15fps on my laptop >_<
not happy about the unexpected expense but I want to at least do this right. I don't have the patience to start from scratch again (at least not living in this apartment) but I don't need a GPU, support or a Windows license so I'm thinking what I need is a deal on an assembled barebones kit.
I've been out of the market for everything but GPUs for years now so I barely even know what to look for. will be moseying over to the build a PC thread but if anyone has any must-buys/do-not-buys offhand I would much appreciate it.
raaaaaar
edit: in for PvP groups in my whenever-I-am-gaming-ready-again future Moondrop, I have definitely been feeling the itch and I'm like 50% through the balth track.

Funny, I was just talking to Ike a couple days ago about trying out PvP, this could be a great opportunity to do it!
Sorry about your PC issues Hawk. I built my first PC using the NeoGAF thread but I know nothing they wouldn't know better.
No this is great; it would be amazing if we can get a pool of up to 10 eventually to pull from.
And I want to emphasize that all classes and experience levels are welcome. Nor would we demand that you use any particular build for that class, but we will strive to make your build as good as possible.
Uh oh, the guy who pushed a whole PvE guild from fractals level 30 -> 50 is on board. It's no longer semi-casual everyone.

Oddly enough I'm putting together a part list for a guy at work later tonight so I'll help you out Hawk. So you really just need a Mobo, cpu, ram, what about an HDD for storage?
So I heard that [HIRE] transferred to SBI? Anyone seen them out? Aurust is a really good commander so I would definitely follow him if given a chance. Mauri Z as well is pretty good. SBI tier 2?
And Hawkian, I don't have time to google the bluescreen error but I work in IT and the majority of bluescreens can be traced back to the hard drive. I'd hate for you to transplant your SSD into the new build and have old problems follow you. Just a heads up.

SBI is tier 3-4 so far...maybe with a TC server we will move into T2.

Usually tier 3 servers that move to tier 2 get smashed, and lots of Guild end up leaving.
Some of [HIRE] NA has come over. Their SEA is still a bit hesitant because they're not sure what fights they would get. Although DB and CD should still have a lot larger SEA groups. Also [Keep] is a new guild that came over here. One of them said they were people from TC and JQ. Can't remember the commander's name who was in EB last night.

Well the SSD is brand new and the bluescreens predated its installation. If it is one of the drives it's almost definitely one of the 3 standard ones, two of which are 4+ years old.
definitely possible (HDD and RAM are the most common sources of that error) but if it's one of the drives I'll have to isolate the bad one regardless. i'm just going to use this opportunity to get rid of every other variable.

To be fair, I've done similar before.
I'd be down for some casual PvP, I need to dive into it so I might as well do it with fellow GAFers.
If you're on an EU server, then no. However, you can transfer to an NA server (and we have a fund in the guild specifically set up to help defray the costs), as a lot of EU players experience little to no latency issues.
It's literally the only thing in this game keeping folks from playing together.
Because the entire game is a chore after 5k hours but I still like doing certain things that may or may not hit the daily so I'll do things like switch to thief pistol to spam the second skill on top of the bleed from the auto-attack to clear condition applier in like.. 5 seconds.
I'm about in the same boat as spiritfox except that I have a limited time to play based on my attention span now. I'd rather have the daily squared away so I can log off whenever I want to when messing around but if you like like living on the edge where sometimes you'll only have gotten 3 of 5 through subjectively fun normal play when real life hits or its time to go then more power to you. I like ensuring things and in this case I'm not going that far out of my way to do it. Its not fun nor stimulating but if you wanted stimulating, go talk to Adriaaaaaaaa about the deforestation of what's left of Orr.
I feel like arguing for the sake of arguing so you can take your version of fun and keep it.
Edit: in other news my engineer is ~level 50 with ~ 45℅ map completion so I think I'm doing pretty good there. I'll finally get to jump back into WvW a bit more once I get rid of that huge target over my head and dont feel useless with 1.6k armor from the scaling. My map is also kind of interesting looking since I'm picking zones to clear kind of haphazardly so it's not like a clean sweep right to left or something. Need dat star.

Nevermind.
What server are you on?
i live on the edge maaaaaaan
"subjectively fun" strikes me as a hilarious phrase, eh? Is not all fun subjective?
Personally i had a lot of fun razing the fledgling forests of Orr to the ground with the OCLC actually, and just stopped at the exact moment I got bored of it

Got too much of a response out of the whole thing so I had to do something to be captain obvious. I suppose it was a bad time seeing as Miktar was trying to figure out fun for people who skip out on trying something else available if the first thing didn't work out.

I'm down for this. I like to play PvP but, don't have the time to take it seriously.
So fun story today .
my uncle came over today and after a while he started asking what i was playing .
He was an avid WOW player a few years ago so explanations where easy enough .
Then i had an idea .
I asked him if he wanted to choose what my new character should be and how he would look since i could not cut the knot .
He happily obliged .
I left him for a while and when i came back he was finished and so, i now present to you :
Bahan Sabel the Norn Ranger .

Need a character name or account name with the four numbers at the end. Thanks.
Edit: looks like you caught it.
Remedy this Anet!!!!
this is why i pretty much log on to do the new season and that's about it. there's really not much to work towards. the dailies got boring as shit and laurels have no use. I have so fucking many of those things.

All of my laurels get spent on ascended recipes. Though soon I'll run out of things to make.
dude. brohug.
this is exactly what I want to take out of the equation with my new rig, if I did something like this while putting it together after the crap I went through just fixing my existing one, i'd flip out. FLIP OUT MAN.
Yeah, their SEA definitely won't transfer to T3. I know those guys pretty well and I think they will move to SoS as soon as TC falls down.
It's unfortunate that due to attrition and neglect on the part of Anet that there will probably never be 3rd stable T1 server again. Just not enough people playing anymore.
I thought I heard somebody on here say that there's not many staff working on Living Story....so where's everybody else? What are they doing? Can they please do something about balancing servers or livening up the WvW scene? Is this even on their radar? Honest question as I don't follow updates anymore.
Mine currently are:
- Get 100% Map completion
- Create "Twilight" the legendary Greatsword
- Earn the title Dungeon Master
- Fully gear my Warrior with Ascended ready for GAFractals
- Have a lvl 80 of each class
Do we know if that's still going to be a thing?

Since launch, they've added World Ranks, Traps, Seasons, reworked the maps, added in Ruins, created the entire Edge of the Mists system and map, and have made over a thousand bugfixes, changes and minor additions. While WvW is clearly not the main focus for ArenaNet (WvW and PvP are not the majority of the playerbase), to imply that they've done nothing or don't care about it, is disingenuous.
That's not to say there aren't issues. And one would hope those issues are being worked on. I do not know what the WvW team size is, we only know that about 20 people are working on Living World, so that leaves around 180 people doing what I imagine are a thousand various projects all related to maintenance, upkeep, localization planning, infrastructure, and future features.
Just because the single thing one cares about isn't immediately being given 100% of a company's time and focus at this instant, doesn't mean it is being ignored. I understand the frustration, but devolving into reddit-style "lol anet hates dungeoneers/pvpers/wvwers" doesn't do anything constructive.

ANET hates GAFGuild because they are rarely online to play the game with us!!!!
Come at me, Miktar!!!
Come at me, Miktar!!!
I don't know what it is that any of us want but the additions they have implemented seem more to keep people busy than anything else. Maybe a consolation because no one is able to catch the fabled unicorn? I can't think of the word really.
Yes. It's not a matter of "if", but "when", and the next feature patch is the more likely possible scenario.

If there's one thing 25 years of playing MMOs have taught me, is that no matter what a developer does, it's never good enough to please everyone. Ever.
Well in the interest of not being disingenuous, reworking the maps and adding the ruins were one and the same. That's been the only change to the maps and one of two changes to gameplay in WvW, and it is a good one. But frankly it itself is a replacement of the broken orb system they removed shortly after launch.
WvW ranks as they relate to new abilities is the other, and it's been a mixed bag.
EotM is for the rewards-based crowd; it has nothing to do with the core WvW audience.
I'm not crying for WvW to be changed, but these concerns aren't without merit.
