Bucket Guild | FUBU BH Forums

1. To sell more gems (they do exactly the same thing in Star Trek Online, they take the exchange down pretending it's bugged when preventing trade forces more gold purchases)
2. To frustrate chinas and prevent them from ruining the day one experience

Actually the game is very heavily based on STO. The really bad interact menu, for example, is copied directly from STO (and sucks as much there). Weapon swap works exactly the same way (and the same exploit with using all CDs on the bar then swapping to secondary weapon is effective there too). The lockbox system is also the same as it is in STO (and I could tell you exactly what they will do with it and you'd dismiss my prediction).

What you are seeing with the TP being down is just the beginning of what will be the gem store hijinks.

($10 for a second bank tab is lol)

Nihilism is a copout.

The gem store is down too.

B-/C+

Also, the fact you are calling that an exploit or that you would do that just highlights you have no idea what you're talking about. Go ahead and blow all your CDs, you won't be neary as effective as someone who uses them strategically and methodically.

Edit: I mean, I can smash my face against my keyboard and kill things just fine if I want to, since I'm a Greatsword guardian, but it's not really effective, lol.

Space dicks.

The very fact you respond as if I'm trolling is dead proof that you are trying to see what you want to see. Gem store has been up except for a very few short intervals. TP has been down continuously in an otherwise nearly bug-free game.

"Efficiently and methodically" doesn't apply in this context (nuking waves of spawns to death) and is besides the point which is that the games share core mechanics.

Simple logic: Purpose of a business is to maximize profit. Can Anet make more profit by keeping the TP down and corralling players into buying gems? Yes/no? STO, which shares mechanics with many of the economic systems of GW2, does that all the time, so what makes you think GW2 won't? How do you think GW2 is somehow going to pull more than $15/mo per player?

I'm mildly annoyed that even a handful of friends IRL won't stop talking about this game.

I jumped into WvW after leveling about 6 times.

Why the hell do I hit like 10x harder? I rip through everyone like butter.

So on my guardian I got pretty bored with 1h sword/shield. 2h hammer is pretty sweet, loving the stuns/knockdowns I can chain together. Still haven't tried 2h sword but I heard good things about that too.

Hundred Blades or Heartseeker?



1 was the first thing that popped into my head after it was down longer than a day.
2 is probably a good reason to do it.



I was under the impression that weapon swapping was supposed to take place and also take place fairly regularly. Spamming CD's then switching wouldn't be any less of a legitimate tactic than doing whatever before swapping. But blowing all CD's then swapping may have been unintended, and it does sound pretty lame.

It isn't an "exploit", and as Zaryi points out it is often suboptimal if the situation is not one of mindlessly zerging content, my point was more that it's a stupid and sometimes effective tactic made possible by the common structure of both systems.

Not even, pistol whip. It's overpowered as fuck as it even stuns for half a second.

EDIT: Also just completed both jump puzzles in the forest. So awesome.

There's a good jumping puzzle in Diessa Plateau on the south east border. You'll know you're there when you see the giant ruined wall and the million dead Ascalonians coming after you.

Does your server fail at WvW?

Last night when I logged off, the score was...

Northern Shiverpeaks - 210,452
Sea of Sorrows - 58,044
Tarnished Coast - 50,431

So I guess our server doesn't fail. Not sure why the scores are so low this evening but we're still ahead...

Northern Shiverpeaks - 1,357
Sea of Sorrows - 880
Tarnished Coast - 730

One issue we had was an incredibly long wait to get into the battle. I saw in chat that people were transfering to our server because it's good in WvWvW, and that just fucked this up some more. Oh well. Is there a website that tracks all the weekly WvWvW, and compares all the servers against each other? It'd be great if there was one that would show the +/- in WvWvW ranking each week, and allow you to see your history against the others, etc. etc.

That's how ours was except it was like 300k to 60k for the rest.

I don't know about you but that's stupid. I want some balance.

Also the WvW reset every day I think.

If you look, they changed the Maintenance graphic for the TP: it is now superimposed with a Black Lion icon. Go figure...
