Check GW2Spidy now and then before making the refined t5 material things, right now they're all a profit because of a rush on ascended materials for HoT stuff, but it wasn't always worth making them over selling the materials. E.g. http://www.gw2spidy.com/item/46738 buy listing all the materials for a Deldrimor Steel Ingot, crafting and sell listing it leaves you at a 3g profit. If you're using the things (or mailing them out to needy goons???) instead of reselling them, you save money on any materials that never have to pass through the TP fee and it can still turn out to be worth the time even when it's shown as a loss on Spidy. In the example of deldrimor steel, you lose 1g 30s to trading post fees, which is already factored into the crafting profit margin on that page and detailed on the recipe's listing (http://www.gw2spidy.com/recipe/7313).

In between bouts of 'logging in' and 'having fun' I managed to snag these. Almost a 2-for-1 deal with how the cheevos are set up. Again, but this time with anime.

Today I reached Sapphire in the new PvP divisions system with close to an 80% win rate. In those games I've had some observations about the most effective ways to climb the ladder in this current meta and I thought I'd write them down here. First, the the classes with that see the most success are bunkers. If you are queuing by yourself, you'll want to be able to hold a point against at least two people, by yourself. Tempests and Chronomancers are the most effective bunkers right now. Scrappers have incredible sustain, but are more susceptible to being whittled down. Why are bunkers good? They take from enemy players the hidden resource that will win or lose you every match: time. If a tempest shows up on your point, most players/specs will be unable to kill it. The majority of players will try to, but they are denying their presence elsewhere on the map. If a second player shows up to take on the tempest (called giving a "plus one"), for as long as that fight goes on, every other match-up that occurs in your game swings statistically to the tempest's team's favor. Depending on the two who show up to challenge the tempest, they're going to take (possibly) minutes, or be unable to take down that bunker and even if they do, the tempest has accomplished its goal. So even if the tempest did not own the point it was contesting, it will still have scored its team points, coming from elsewhere on the map. What is the best way to kill a tempest? Heavy chill pressure or moa morph will ruin a tempest's day. Chronomancers need to be stunned and bursted. Heavy use of unblockable skills will also kill a chronomancer. You will often be paired up with duo queues, so why not bring a friend? Then YOU'RE the duo queue and you should trust yourself (and a friend) more than any random pubbies. Bringing along ANOTHER bunker will win you even more games. Do you dare bring a THIRD bunker? Why not. BUT, do not bring a fourth bunker, as you will be much more likely to be paired up against full teams, which will make you more likely to lose your game, due to teams being better at coordinating CC. With good rotations and point pressure, you don't have to win team fights, you need only win through attrition and stalling out points. If you insist on bringing DPS with you, go for revenants and scrappers. Both have awesome team fight synergies and incredible passive survivability. Both are also great at stalling out point captures. Which, need I re-iterate: is the single most important tactic within conquest. Almost as important is my last piece of advice: If you are a goon and you want to PvP with other goons who are good at PvPing then you need to join Eurozone Danse Party, the premiere listing for goon pvping. Send Germany a letter for a guild invite and start teaming up with goons to climb your way up this horrible and toxic meta!!!!! YOU WILL BE KING OF poo poo, PERCHED ATOP A THRONE OF WHO CARES!

 DH got knocked inside of that corner right as he hit invulnerability status of downed, I revived him, then he was stuck there forever unable to get out or move. Rest of the game he was just setting up traps there and I just knocked any enemy coming to decap into his traps.

Because no traits available in either of those give you four free really strong overload skills, which is worth it alone even if you don't take any of the shouts which are very strong and team supporty. Also, arcane has kinda been poo poo for a long time. Ra Ra Rasputin fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Dec 6, 2015 |

Nice fights this weekend, goons/SFD. Dragonbrand may be winning in ppt but you got us good. See, WvW isn't dead, it is what you make of it! (until the "overhaul" occurs in a few months and finally officially kills it).

I think that was bound to happen, everyone wanted/needed to grind out PvE stuff on HoT release, so of course there would be less participation in WvW. As people came to meet their grind goals and more Guild Halls got upgraded for WvW benefits, the WvW meta finally got a chance to grow. That said, I am completely pessimistic about the WvW revamp. Seeing as how they tried fixing/improving everything else in a subpar fashion, I can't seriously recommend players to hope for a WvW revitalization. I wasn't being sarcastic; WvW right now isn't dead, given a good server. Just enjoy the few months or whatever we have left of actual fun.

No, it's significantly more than just "everyone is off doing PvE", the new borderlands haven't been well received, and there is a general neglect of WvW by Anet (like, for example, we get mastery level, plus the new useless PvP icon displayed beside names the second this stupid league starts, yet WvW rank still doesn't show). It's not dead, you're right, but it's nowhere near the shape it used to be. It's gotta be way worse on other lower tier servers too. And I guess I'm still optimistic about the revamp, probably naively so looking at the rest of the broken subpar garbage that HoT brought us. I'm really hoping for an injection of life into it, but I love WvW and will keep doing it regardless.

It's not dead, you're right, but it's nowhere near the shape it used to be. It's gotta be way worse on other lower tier servers too. I believe the new Borderlands were designed with the endgame in mind: Given claimed keeps and Shrine control (and knowing the new map), movement speed is supposed to be buffed enough to make traversing the map about as quick as the old alpine Borderlands. They feel like they were also designed at pop lock. And here's one huge thing that makes the new Borderlands better: BOTH defending and taking a claimed and upgraded keep feels way better and is way more fun for both sides, so more incentive for engagement. The problem is that there is rarely pop lock (as it was before on non Tier 1 servers) and all the small roamer/defence guilds get shafted, especially with the Guild Hall being so drat expensive. So this makes that uncomfortable empty feel to the map, as it takes twice as long to roam around and respond to calls for defence. If you gave everyone the +5 supply bonus and high level WvW Guild upgrades, I could definitely see the new Borderlands being received better. So they made a concerted effort to design WvW for something that rarely happens while shafting several styles of play, and the new "revamp" sounds like more of the same. I assume GOON and SFD are big enough (or can be reasonably split) to support the Alliance system, but that's just not the case for most of us.

That leak about the "alliance" system for WvW, I really hope that's not true because it sounds loving awful. They can do way better than that...

I hopped into WvW Saturday night and had some fun in the new maps. Maybe not as much fun as this guy though. Hopefully they don't screw it up too much. WvW was always a fun place to hop into back in the day. I think the new maps are fun and a nice change from the old ones. I don't think would hate on them so much if there was enough population to fill them. The whole guild alliance thing that was making the rounds sounds terrible though. Before doing anything that drastic, they should just look at weekly WvW participation per server and then lump the servers together into alliances.
