Guild Wars 2 V2: GOTY 2017 or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Arenanet - Games

I've seen some clips of PvP, I have to say the lethality looks really low. Though is is probably because I haven't liked MMO PvP since I was taking take half of mages' health away with single Aimed Shots in vanilla WoW.

[QUOTE=HoodedSniper;35905743]Was that really the last time you did PvP in an MMO?[/QUOTE] I still did some battlegrounds on rare occasions, but that's the last (and first) time I was really into it. I remember stacking a whole bunch of stealth detect items in AV so I had something like a 20 yard detection radius. I was camping alone near some NPCs, and this rogue thought I shouldn't be able to see him, and I knocked him out of stealth and got him mobbed with the NPCs.

[QUOTE=Winner;35905907]Yeah that's one thing that's way different from GW, PvP takes a lot more strategy in GW2... (but there still aren't many things in GW that are quite as satisfying as seeing your screen fill up with numbers after a successful spike)[/QUOTE] I'm more into faster paced PvP, which is why I mainly did it in vanilla WoW when damage was much spikier, and there weren't a billion and one stuns/slows/snares/dazes/etc.

[QUOTE=mickers;35900983]4am to 11am for England[/QUOTE] Pretty sure its 6pm - 1am

[QUOTE=Winner;35904749]You're in a huge GW2 thread on a very Valve-crazy forum. I'm gonna predict that there may be some sort of market there[/QUOTE] I know there will be some people around here doing it, but it only really matters if there are enough people doing it elsewhere as well. Finding people who have enough GW2 wealth, as well as want whatever TF2 items I have could be hard with the limited amount of players in this forum.

2-9pm EST?

[QUOTE=SomeDumbShit;35906265]Pretty sure its 6pm - 1am[/QUOTE] oh i think i got it the other way around, i was thinking gmt was 7 hours behind for some reason not other way.

Somewhat surprised the name 'Katia Managan' is available in Guild Wars. (I took it) Female Charr Elementalist time? For those that don't know, it's from a [URL="http://www.prequeladventure.com/2011/03/prequel-begin/"]webcomic done in MSPA style, about a Khajiit from the game Oblivion.[/URL] It's a pretty funny story. I am most surprised because during the beta, in maybe the first 10 minutes, I saw someone with that name, or a variation.

So I finished my Spirit Farmer build. Anyone care to tag along and show me some pointers? Make sure I don't fuck up. My first time.

Do we have to have the name at lvl20 or just have a character by that name on our GW1 account?

Have a character on your account, have HoM, and get it linked to a guild wars 2 account, I think.

Well this sucks... [IMG]http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/539/gw2012051022322044.png[/IMG] [editline]10th May 2012[/editline] On the bright side a good friend of mine got me a Bone Dragon! [URL="http://hom.guildwars2.com/en/#page=main&details=AAAAAAgDAMCAgAAAAgDAAEAAAAAAAAAAVKMIQAAAAAA"]I am now 18/50![/URL] Also here's a picture of Winner (awesome warrior), Newbienice99 (Gwen) and I (assassin) dancing: [t]http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/8113/gw214m.jpg[/t] ...and the last thing I was doing before I got banned: [t]http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/3412/gw218l.jpg[/t]

heheh I'm going to try to dispute the suspension because I was kind of drunk lastnight and I'm sure I did say something offensive to a lot of people. [editline]10th May 2012[/editline] ..not that is going to solve anything but it's worth a shot!

[QUOTE=Winner;35909194]Aw, you didn't even get to see the EL Gelatinous Tonic I just bought! It's without a doubt the best purchase I've made in GW, ever. I bought some loser a Bone Dragon mini though, so I have no ectos left after buying the tonic :I[/QUOTE] who cares? now you can bounce around and look awesome.

I'm excited to see that epic dance of yours...once I'm un-suspended D: [editline]10th May 2012[/editline] I hope I don't lose any progress I made from getting suspended. I mean like anything I've done recently. [editline]10th May 2012[/editline] well shit! [QUOTE]Your character has been observed violating the User Agreement and/or the Rules of Conduct through a confirmed use of inappropriate language. The infraction was reported and substantiated through our logs. Any violation of the Rules of Conduct will result in a mark placed on your account. Each mark will suspend your account for a given period of time, and that period of account suspension would rise with each subsequent mark against your account. Account marks will expire after a period of time. Therefore, you can clear your account of marks, and remove the risk of lengthy suspensions, simply by observing the Rules of Conduct and the User Agreement.[/QUOTE] That was a quick response though! Damn I love NCsoft Support!

[QUOTE=mickers;35911000]i think guildwars biggest fan-base is in Germany.[/QUOTE] Suits us in Norway mighty fine.

Bullet did you have previous infractions then to get the suspension up to 70 hours? :x

The good news is that we’re not wiping characters for this test; we’re using the same build that we used in the first Beta Weekend Event, so you’ll be able to pick up right where you left off.[/quote]

[QUOTE=Tommeh!;35910463]Stress test is 8AM-3PM EST. School hours. fffffffffffffffffffuck.[/QUOTE] I thought it was 2-9PM EST? It's 11 AM to 6:00 PM PDT, so that's 3 hours behind EST right?

Ever. Nor do I remember getting warned by a GM for doing anything. Normally I'm a good boy but recently the JQ botting has been pissing me off. I suppose some of those bots weren't actually bots :\ I said some mean things to them heheh.
