    Last night was good stuff in TS3! Fun talking with you chaps.

    In addition, my fiance wobbled over to the computer and wondered who I was talking to.. So I muted TS3 and ended up forcing her to watch all videos from the GW2 website. She loves the asura. She also is intrigued about the ranger/elementalist. So who knows, she might just join us this weekend :)

    Do you have a wireless adapater for your pc? Maybe you can piggy back on someone elses internet?

    It really should be, although my current place is a bit nuts and we had to build walls and stuff to make it livable (old converted Toy Factory.) At the moment it's some ridiculous ADSL routing issue where no internet providers seem to think my phone number exists despite it being connected for over a week now. :rotate:

    I keep having a similar problem with services that require an address: none of them believes my apartment exists. Except I live in the ground floor of a converted row home, which is a WAY less cool reason to be having this issue than "my house is a converted toy factory".

    Structured pvp? What are the different pvp modes?

    Besides the WvW there is also a competitive arena mode that ArenaNet wants to turn into an eSport. The standard composition is 5v5 but it can vary. It's basically capture and hold.

  • charrbroiledcharrbroiled 'dis guy Registered User regular
    Incoming WoW references:

    Structured PvP = arena style matches. Rewards "Glory" for upgraded armor looks/etc.
    WvW = Alterac Valley style matches. Rewards "Influence" for Guild upgrades.

    This is why people should say "toon." Also, because it infuriates the crap out of some people. And I find glee in their anguish.

    Structured is like Sarksus said their eSport type PVP. You are actually level 80 with max equipment and skills. Like a true copy of your character at level 80 only used for that mode instead of the scaled version using your current gear that WuvWuv does.

    Also remember that in Structured PvP your armor and weapons are PURELY cosmetic.
    Everyone has the same stuff. You will NEVER have better equipment than your enemy.
    It's all about actually getting better (increasing your own player skill) and to earn new armor/weapons that LOOK better.

    Oh sweet, I'm not the only one implementing that algorithm. Luckily I still have a few weeks before I really need to turn in my project. What class is it for?

    My original plan was to pull an all weekend for BWE, but the closer I get to it, the more I realize it won't be possible with school coming so close to an end. I will postpone this plan for the next BWE, but I shall still see you guys this weekend.

    Yes, you only can use one weapon set at a time, but you can freely switch between them.

    Engineer and elementalist can only use one weapon set but they have packs and attunements that let them switch their first 5 skills.

  • Architeuthis DuxArchiteuthis Dux Registered User regular
    At level seven and above, you have two weaponsets at a time. Either of these may be one two-handed weapon such as a longbow or greatsword, or two one-handed weapons such as a mace or focus. You can swap between these on a cooldown. One or the other is not necessarily your "main", though it may work out that way for some builds; different weapons are useful in different situations, and if you primarily find yourself in situations in which your longbow is useful, that may wind up being the weapon you use most.

    Elementalists and engineers only have one weaponset, and instead swap elements or kits, respectively.

  • RednazRednaz Registered User regular

    Not at the same time. Every class, except for engineer and elementalist, can have two weapon sets "equipped". The current weapon set, which could either be a two-handed weapon or a main hand + off hand, determines the first 5 skills on your skill bar. When you switch weapons, you switch those first 5 skills for the new set. Elementalists have 4 attunements, which is basically 4 separate skill sets. Engineers can use a weapon kit for their second weapon, which is unique to their class.

    If you mean weapon sets, then it's as Draygo said. Your skill bar changes when you switch sets.

    If you mean dual wielding two one handed weapons then your first three skills are determined by your main weapon and the next two skills are determined by your offhand weapon. I think the third skill is also usually a combo of the two weapons but I can't remember. Changing combinations of weapons will change what skills you have.

    Depends on class. Engineer and elementalist do not have a weapon switch as they have their own unique mechanics for switching skills on the weapon bar.

    But yes, each weapon has it's own skill bar with 5 unique skills to each. You can only use the skills of the current weapon and there is a 10 second cool down on the weapon switch.

    Interesting, A Warrior with a Hammer and a Longbow looked pretty cool, especially with the ability to leap around with said hammer :D. Now i must choose between warrior and guardian grrrrr.

    I would try that but I'm not allowed to wield hammers anymore. Trust me. . . me and hammers end poorly.

    I love the look of the warrior there are builds there that absolutely remind me of my captain in Lotro and I think I might be swaying away from the guardian back towards warrior as an alt. I hope for BWE to help remove some of my uncertainty.

    Seems like we are finally leaning towards 1 main guild?

    Good.

    The thing I think some people are/were overlooking is the guild progress. Like.. if we have split guils for PvP And PvE (bad idea! so bad!) What if one has better bonuses but you want to talk the the people in the other? It just creates a really bad/awkward situation to work around. People can flake off into their own seperate chat guilds if they deem it neccesary but there should still be one main guild for EVERYTHING else. Including chatting for those of us that want to be around as many different people as possible.

    Thats what i thought of when i was going through skill calc, Warriors getting banners for buffs sold me as well. I wanted to play a bit of a tank/support character but was sad to see guardian is lacking a LEAP IN AND CRUSH EVERYTHING skill. Warrior it is for this BWE.

    Could always make separate chat channels like in other MMOS - SE++, G&T, PvP, PvE etc. etc. and have people join them to broadcast through there if guild chat became flooded.

    The guardian does have multiple closer skills. Sword has one teleport, greatsword has a leap and a pull, and there are two or three teleports in the utility section.
