Bug or unannounced?
Hey, I noticed that after this update, if you are drunk and you map to a new town, you stay drunk... I don't recall this happening before so I thought it was worth noting. ShoganKiller  15:40, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

 * What I think it SHOULD be at this point is every armor set added to your HoM should become unlocked for your PvP characters. Other non-elite armor (like Luxon) should be unlocked as soon as one elite set from that campaign is added to the HoM.  The only thing preventing something like this from happening is their constant moaning about not having enough people on the team.  Bleh.  Takes them longer to whine about it than to actually get it done.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 05:17, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

 * @DKS01: Personally, I don't give a flying fuck about GvG or HA, but those seem to be the main things people bitch about when they talk about "overpowering of skills."  Either that or, in some rare cases, PvE (in the case of Ursanway).  Also, what the people complain about really doesn't matter, the imbalancers will do what they want no matter how much you kick and scream.  Its pessimistic, sure, but its true. [[Image:RHSig.jpg]] rede | beiträge 18:12, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * In all seriousness I thought the reason was obvious why people complain most about GvG/HA. (GW-Kiron 03:36, 2 August 2009 (UTC))
 * That's because it's real PvP? Because they are the only forms of PvP that actually require skill to play? Anyone can run stupid gimmick shit in RA, TA, AB (FA and JQ are more like PvNPC) and HB. Go try it for yourself, look at the balanced teams that roll the stupid gimmicks you see in the lower arenas. King Neoterikos[[Image:KNsignature.jpg]] 13:53, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know if by arena you mean just Random Arena and Team Arena, or if you are extending it to include all PvP, Ikimono. If you mean MB dominates all PvP (except HB), I would have to disagree.  Spending your elite on energy management as a fire elementalist makes no sense in AB where the battles with humans should last no longer than a minute or two anyway, and the battles with NPC's far less than that.  Yes, it has great defense.  But that doesn't cap shrines.  Flame Djinn's Haste is generally all the defense a fire elementalist needs in AB.  So sure, MB is overpowered almost everywhere.  But probably not in AB. Lazuli  15:06, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Good eles use MB+Distortion+Flame Dijin's. Just like they do in gvg.-- Ikimono "My beard is thick." [[Image:Monk-Paragon-icon.png|24px]] 17:56, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I prefer a half-decent, low-energy Air spike to a Fire spike any day, mostly because people prepare for the Fire and Earth eles, but rarely the Air or Water eles. I just think people are too sissified to use something like Water or Air...too afraid to get outside of their set paths.  Innovation is the bane of any and all PvX builds.  Shit, I never look up builds, anywhere, I just make the shit up as I go along.  [[Image:RHSig.jpg]] rede | beiträge 18:42, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * And that works for that extra spot on an AB team (1 monk, 1 nuker, 1 melee, and 1 extra), but it cannot match the speed of Searing Flames or Savannah Heat. So while MB E/Me's can work fine in AB, they are no replacement for a dedicated AoE capper.  Lazuli  20:40, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

You're all acting like they can't replace 1 skill on their bar (you know, like res sig) with an AoE skill like Searing Heat. Follow up with Meteor and Rodgort's, in that order, and suddenly you can kill people who would normally just walk out of AoE AND cap shrines. --Macros 22:25, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

 * (edit conflict)@Lazuli: You talk like there's one set type of AB team when in fact I'd be willing to bet that a good 90% of teams in AB are PUG's.  Also, healing/prot monks in AB?  Where have you been the past 2 years?  Almost no one heals or prots in AB, if they're a monk, they're most likely a smiter, usually a beemer.  Also, overused skill is overused.  [[Image:RHSig.jpg]] rede | beiträge 22:41, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * You're absolutely right. The majority of AB teams are PUGS, at least by my estimation.  I play AB regularly for the Kurzicks.  Are you playing for the Luxons?  I see more heal/prots than smiters.  There was certainly a few weeks when every monk was RoJ.  But that time seems to have passed.  When I talk about the basic elements of an AB group, I refer to what I feel is ideal.  You want someone with AoE to cap fast, you generally want a melee to harass enemy healers or lineback, you probably want a monk or healer of your own to keep your team alive, and the last spot is up for grabs.  Some people like rangers or mesmers for that spot.  Arguably, overused skill is not as overused as MB in this day and age.  This doesn't make it fresh or creative by any means, however, as I will agree that it has been overused in the past. And it's certainly true that you could throw in a heat of some sort, but the amount of people that don't just boggles my mind. Lazuli  00:56, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Figgered you could've told by my page that I'm Kurzick. Also, I've only had one person in three months ask me to run healing on my monk.  I don't see it as a very good use of a character as almost everyone brings some form of self-healing, that or they deal so much damage it doesn't really matter, re Three Heats spike or old Palm Strike.  Of course, this could stem from my hatred of being relegated to the back and avoiding fights.  When I'm in a war, I fight, and I fight to the death.  Never give in, never give up!  OOH-RAH!  [[Image:RHSig.jpg]] rede | beiträge 01:50, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Apologies for my lack of research. And I share your distaste for monking in AB.  Sure, I love monks on my team, but I imagine that monking for a PUG is like herding cats.  I will condense my position to just say that I think MB is very powerful in the right situation.  AB, in my opinion, isn't where it shines the brightest. Lazuli  02:17, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Healing monks suck horribly in AB compared to a Attuned Was Songkai resto rit. Seriously. And I find that having just 1 player you know along with in a PUG it's SO much easier. His warrior kicks ass and neither of us ever die :) --Gimmethegepgun 03:48, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Healing only monks might suck, but when they are hybrids they are great. And hexes > resto rits.  Sure, you could devote your secondary profession to /Mo for Holy Veil or something, but then where do you get IMS or self defense?  I guess it comes down to a matter of preference.

 * Ey now, bwoy, don't be dissin my skills. I may not be a HA or GvG superstar, but I've kicked more than my share of ass in AB.  The only overused or easily-abused skill I've used in all my 3 years of killin would be the new Jesus Beem, but that's just because they killed Signet of Judgment for anyone except melee builds.  Other than the Beem, I run whatever builds I want and do damn well if'n I do say so mahself.  Of course, my choice of build is also decided by weather or not I'm doing the little z-quest for AB or not, also.  [[Image:RHSig.jpg]] rede | beiträge 19:04, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Self-defense is hardly necessary when you can just heal that much. But yeah, you're right, hexes do own resto rits. Though really the only ones that matter even remotely are the ones that reduce movement speed or attack speed, or cause chances to miss. Everything else really doesn't matter at all, it's just overhealed or countered with Resilient Weapon, turning it into a good thing --Gimmethegepgun 20:20, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

 * I've got a load of old ones mainly from Aspenwood, let's dig em out. Let's see... Life Barrier on a warrior, Burning Arrow on another war, a war with Charge, Dancing Daggers, and a sword, a dervish with Kindle Arrows and no bow, a warrior with Glimmer of Light and "I Will Survive!", several wars with Divine Intervention, one also had Berserker Stance, a Life Sheath warrior, a necro with Defy Pain, another with Repeating Strike, a war using Renew Life (in ASPENWOOD), a sin and a war with Savannah Heat, a war with Shield Guardian. These are all OLD, but I don't think anything has had a changed functionality since then. Still awful though --Gimmethegepgun 04:51, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Judging purely by the ads, I'd say you weren't far off. I'm also of the persuasion that GW2 better be polished to perfection or its doing something that warranted holding off for a fucking year after the initial release.  Also, no, they really don't give a shit about GW, and even less about PvE.  The only reason they "fixed" Ursanway was because pretty much everyone (except me, because I didn't, and still don't, give a shit) was complaining about how it "broke PvE."  Personally, I'd like to see Incendiary Arrows return to its original functionality, or have them implement a Guild Recruiter Spam channel (with punishment for not recruiting there like trading in local) rather than nerfing something that made certain fucking infuriating parts of PvE bearable.

 * What you call a nerf to Masochism, is actually a huge & possibly broken buff to DarkAura... --ilr[[Image:Ilr_d-small.png]](8,Aug.'09)
 * I thought of that too. For the fun of it, go Ether Renewal spammer with Dark Aura and Masochism.

 * I know quite a few people that are happy with the change to Enraged, me being one of them. Now you don't need to spam BM skills to get extra damage and you get a condition out of it.  It certainly frees up a slot on your bar if you take Tigers or Hekets to disable your BM skills.  Now I can boost my DPS with an extra attack skill or focus more on the pet. Now I feel I might have a legitimate shot at getting into a group instead of sitting in one spot saying "Ranger LFG" looking ridiculous in a mission outpost.

 * When something is disabled, it goes into a recharge mode. Anything that causes instant recharge will cause disabled skills to finish as well. So yes, disabled==recharging --Gimmethegepgun 07:37, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Almost. Instant recharge affects both, but only recharging skills are affected by effects that cause skills to recharge faster than normal (like Serpent's Quickness).  Dervish forms are disabled rather than recharged after casting, so Serpent's will not affect them.  Halves skill recharge weapon modifiers will not affect disabled spells, either.  Almost the same thing, except for a few nuances.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 17:43, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The point is that after a skill has become disabled or used regularly, it then starts recharging, Enrage Lunge doesn't care how it went black, just as long as it is.--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg|Roar.]]îğá†ħŕášħ 18:10, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Merged Part Would Be Too Large Bug
Ever since the most recent update (8/10/09) I've been having trouble adding heroes and henchmen to my party when playing with another human player. We get this "Merged Party Would Be Too Large" message even when it in fact wouldn't be (3/8 + 5/8). Anyone else having trouble? Lazuli 01:16, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * This only happened in Honur Hill. When we arrived in Dasha Vestibule the problem was rectified. <font color="#4056b2">Lazuli  01:20, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I've encountered that bug once a long time ago. We couldn't add a hero to a 7/8 party, the hero button would disappear entirely as happens when the party is full, and merging a 4/8 and 4/8 would have the same problem you described.  We did the mission as 7/8 (don't even remember what it was, I think it was in RoF somewhere) and never encountered this again.  So it's been around for a long time, and seems to be very rare.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 18:41, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The same problem has been haunting parties in Gadd's Encampment for as far back as the GW:EN release, unless it's been fixed by now. No idea. I just remember both parties zoning in and out of different districts trying to fix it, ten minutes later we finally joined up normally. No one had too many heros or players as we all dropped NPC's, and the last time it happened to me was a party of 2 trying to join our party of 3 to no avail. No idea if it's been fixed by now. Been out of the loop a bit. 91.151.155.122 19:02, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Arnout - Speaking English isnt a requirement of playing GW - but at the same time these foreigners love to lounge around in ENGLISH speaking districts & polute, spam, rape & pillage the channels with their Oh so beautiful language dont get me wrong - I aint got anything against foreigners that come to the English districts because hardly anyone plays on their own districts, thats cool but some of them especially the FRENCH people that ive come across ingame are the most rude & arrogant people Ive ever come across online. your in PvP you owning a french player - you can bet your ass that hes gonna be giving you abusive whispers or in main channel in no time. & they cant co-ordinate with teams in PvP or PvE, Im in mission in PvE, I tell the guy to stop running a head & wait for the rest of the team & what does he do?? He runs ahead gets himself killed we have to go & save him then he does it 3 more times again before he ragequits. its not just limited to Gw too, other games i play where in encounter french people - Call of duty, battlefield 2, L4D, TF2 - their all there & they ruin the game. thats why if i run a server I kick or ban french people from joining unless otherwise, especially in L4D where teamwork is the most important aspect of the game. Im not willing to put up with their bullshit... 2 dutch people from different guilds are chatting in main channel - you ask them politely to move their convosation to PM if possible & they will more then likely do it since most of them do speak english. now the same thing with french people they will just explode in a torrent of abuse - it dont matter id they are speaking french or ENGRISH. - your in AB & 4 players out of the 12 are french - they will have a fucking dinner party & be chatting to each other non stop while everyone else is trying to cap. same thing in MISSIONS - theres 2 or more of them in the same team & their just gobbing off in their pig latin & you ask them to speak in english so the rest of the team can understand whats going on = more abuse.

Ive always tried to be polite to them n time again but they just dont respond well to that. Im sorry if i offended any french people reading my comment, I really didnt mean to cause any offense, but its just the way i see it. 92.27.144.22 19:24, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

 * I wonder why no french discussed here... I'm french and i know french people are very bad at english speaking. Don't ask me why, that's just a fact. I would say young french people don't speak/understand english at all. So if you ask a 13 years old guy to speak english when the only thing he's able to say is "Where is Brian? Brian is in the kitchen", he might keep speaking his very beautiful language ;) I think that GW is very popular in france, so a lot of french people play this game. More people = more dumb people. And you obviously only see dumb people as they talk a lot. This said, i'm happy ANet tries to remove sync groups. Giz Mo 23:08, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, Probs to A-Net for trying to kill syncing, but there are still holes in the system. Also; every1 burns my writings down, and then, they say exacly the same... So much on that part. Also, in leading langueges, why the hell do all the Chinese people speak English then? Every Chinese person I met in GW speaks English. Besides, Chinese is not just 1 language. There are tons of different dialects/languages in China, but they all count for 1. I call cheaters! ;-)
 * @ OMGWTFCHEESEFRIES, and Lukyboy. I only play in English or American districts (I'm Dutch) and I speak English, ALL THE TIME. When ever I meet a French dude, its in those districts, and they either refuse to speak English, or they can't speak English. I find this a huge problem, as we (the rest of us who are willing to speak English) can't understand them. This usually results in a kick from the team, and then they go all QQ. And they blaim us, and not themselfves. That's a huge part of the problem, and thats why ppl hate the French. Altough I love champaing, pain, and the Cheese, and the countrey itself.

 * Oui, Il adore le pain. Yes that was French, no I'm not, I really don't like the language. And tbh, I have to side with Arnout on this. I've seen it lots of times that there's a French person in an English district advertising in French in the trade channel. If you politely point to them that 99% of the people won't understand him/her and that he/she's better of speaking English there, he/she (prolly he though, in my experience, woman are more mature) starts flaming.
 * Also lately, a French arsehole in my team in RA randomly started insulting us for nothing. In French of course, believing we wouldn't understand. When I PM'd him in his own language, saying that I could understand what he was saying, and asking why he was insulting us (all very politely), he spouted out more French insults and left. I'm fully aware that there are a lot of decent French players, but most of the time, we don't even notice they're French. And I've also seen several French people (usually in PvE) apologize for their bad English.

When someone asks them to "please speak English, because the rest of us here are British/American," they fucking explode in capsrage about how people are, in essence, dissing their "beautiful language."

Also, French is only a language, like any others, and saying stuff like: my French teacher is a bitch, thus French people are dicks is a completely retarded opinion, lots of english people are dumber than most french people i've played with, and stop asking them to speak english, because they wont anyway, why do you keep trying...

 * The problem is, is that the French players are in the American districts, when they have their own. Personally, I feel that if you are advertising for a French guild, or only know how to speak French, then stay in the French district.  You don't see me (an American) going into the French districts advertising an American guild, or speaking only English.  That's rude.  The only thing more rude is going into a foreign district, and expecting most people you see there to speak your language, and get all pissy when they don't.  If you know only one language, then play in your language district, that's what they're there for.  Now, if you're French and know English and want to play in an English-speaking district, that's cool.  All I'm saying is people need to stop being rude assholes in regards to language.  Also, I didn't say I don't like French people, I said I don't like the language.  Its a personal preference thing, the asshole French teacher didn't help, though.

 * I've never seen any French people advertise for French guilds in an American or English district. Mostly it's buying or selling. I know a decent amount of French (more than most English or American people prolly), and I still have to think about what the hell they're saying. So I don't think trying to sell stuff like that is gonna have much success. Those and the Random PvP French noobs are the only French I have a problem with in GW. I've played with plenty of French people for the rest, and most of them are very friendly, and can actually speak English. And a lot of them even apologise for their bad English, as I've already said. Now, I don't really think they should, as a LOT of the American players (prolly the 13 year olds or less) can hardly write any English.--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]<font color="Green">El_Nazgir 07:12, September 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * Indeed, i think your very problem is that you are only able to spot french people who can't speak english, i.e the dumb ones. I mean, following your logic, i would have to say : "All americans are really really really stupid" after seeing a few youtube videos. 95% of french people speak english, and so you go thinking "Hey, these good people speak English. America Rules !".

 * There's quite a bit of prejudice goin' on in here. As someone who has friends in countries all over the world, we're pretty much all the same. If you're going to say that all French people who play Guild Wars are x or y... Atleast say "all French people I see playing Guild Wars" instead of generalizing and including anyone who might fall under "French." I get pissed when I here people referring to Americans as a whole, for obvious reasons; I don't want the actions of others to create assumptions about me. Shit this post turned out longer than I thought it would. Sorry 'bout that. But seriously, keep the generalizations to a minimum. 76.199.97.57 07:45, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * Every French player (and most other euros) I've ever played with/against has been terrible. I still like them in other ways, though. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 03:14, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

 * And I think he was kinda pointing out that Australian players being good or not was, well, kinda totally irrelevant to their discussion over the merits or lack thereof of French and European players. DKS01 04:36, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

 * Fact: generalization is Bad, with a capital B. It leads to racism and other shit. Fact: as the anon after my last post pointed out, generalization comes from only being able to see the few % of the population that actually is the way you think it is. And when you meet someone that does not belong to those few %, you automatically assume they do. That's this discussion. "Every French player (and most other euros) I've ever played with/against has been terrible." ->That's probably because you didn't realize that a lot of other people you played with are European or whatever too. Because they can write better English than some English/Americans can.--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]<font color="Green">El_Nazgir  11:28, September 9, 2009 (UTC)


 * Here's some generalisation for you: PvE players are terrible, regardless of what they call home. "[...]I know that Diablo fundamentally has no skill to it. [laughs] No seriously, the skill I use to play the game is the exact same skill I use to launch the application! I put a cursor on an icon and I click on it. " also goes for PvE, really, except you have to click repeadetly. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  12:30, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * If they're not typing in English, or if they have a distinct accent on vent, I assume they're not English first language/American. I didn't say that I don't consider most Americans to be bad players, though. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 19:40, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * I completely agree with El_Nazgir. Whats up with the "American are the best GW-players, the rest sucks" attitude? I know plenty of non-american people who can speak, or at least write, decent english.

 * I'm not even touching the subject of "black Irish", but donning my adminstrator's hat I ask you to refrain from discussing racism here, and to also stop discussing national chauvinism ("jingoism" in British, if my dictionary serves). We've most certainly left the subject of game updates. Feel free to take it to somebody's user talk page. -- ◄mendel► 08:56, September 10, 2009 (UTC)
