I’d love to fight XOXO one on one; the problem is that every time I see you guys it’s a 3-5 man group with a couple of random pugs along for the ride, and every time someone declares a fight club somewhere by the time I notice it’s too late.

I will say this though: I was very amused last night when you all jumped my warrior, I dove off the bridge, and then got into a vicious one on one fight with an NSP Guard underneath said bridge while a whole bunch of pubbers got rolled above. To that Guard; good show sir, but i think I would have gotten you had I started at above 12k health :P

Just pick one out and give them a /bow @. Keep doing this until they bow back and duel on. If its a dangerous place, we’ll probably try joining/inviting you to talk and move to the closest windmill or other safe place.

This is true. Love dueling all of you guys. Beware though!! They have been rolling about 80-90% conditions lately so bring those condi cleanses! Especially for those pesky perplexity thieves.

=P

Epic fight at Veloka in EB right now.

Khayoss.2019:

So, out of curiosity. Is there a lot of e-high-fiving going on in SBI’s TS or whatever you use to organize when you guys are spawn camping and jumping on the corpses of the people you manage to pull from the portals and steamroll? Or is it more of a sophisticated British ‘Good show old chap’ pat on the back at your job well done?

Just trying to get clear in my head who we’re fighting.

Pretty sure this is what they do in real life.

XOXO doesn’t have any perplex thieves.

That sounds like something a perplex thief would say!

No, a perplex thief would say 11111.

I was under the impression it was 4-4-4-4-4.

Wouldn’t 11111 require you to have a mainhand weapon equipped? That sounds wildly unnecessary.

Seeing a lot of dancing and emoting from SBI as you faceroll our keeps which contain about 10 people trying to defend it. Stay classy guys.

Here’s an idea, if you want a challenge (you seem like you don’t) go and knock on Ebays keep for a change. They’re hardly doing any better than we are, but #1 picking on #3 EVERY SINGLE DAY is pretty lame for someone with as huge win margin as you have right now.

Lol SBI as you continue to rack up your points (Hoo Ahh for that), you forget one thing…. It gets so boring having nothing to do. We get it you are going to be number 1 this week. Lol Enjoy the crickets and owls.

Is it really reasonable to expect different? Not of SBI, but of anyone in this situation including NSP. I see plenty of NSP people in a zerg doing the same emote crap when the simple fact is there terrible players and have no room to be mocking anyone. Your not complaining about SBI or WvW so much as your complaining about the nature of open world pvp. There will be sads, there will be mads and there will be bads. Doesn’t matter the server.

Omne.4603:

There will be sads, there will be mads and there will be bads.

it’s like you’ve known me all my life

There are a lot of people just trying to get their daily’s done also, which would explain people being in each borderland. I know when I logged in tonight, there was maybe 2 towers to cap and a couple camps (I don’t do EB), so we were all over.

I agree there are bads mads and sads in every server. The reason I’m bring it up though is that SBI in particular seem to have a much higher ratio than normal. I know you prefer to believe that every server is the same, but it’s not so. I wouldn’t bring it up unless it seemed particularly unusual to me.

I haven’t seen a single encounter yet where someone from SBI isn’t laughing or dancing or otherwise acting like an idiot when the odds are stacked highly in their favour.

I can understand emoting for when tempers are running hot, but SBI don’t even break a sweat destroying us and still feel like they need to humilate us more?

Their server has a bad reputation for a reason.

Great fight at SBI ruins yesterday night. All I wanted was to get my achievements done but I ended up having some great fight.

Thanks to all the people that was there.

It’s funny to see all the guild that transferred to SBI It’s like I’m fighting all the guilds that used to form the lower tier servers at the same time.

Oh, do please tell us again how we’re a bandwagon server.

Seriously though, did you confuse us with Maguuma? I run around primarily during Oceanic time so I can’t vouch for the rest, but I haven’t seen anyone behave like this for the entire week.

I am pretty sure 80% of the people out there now in dub dub are just the typical freeloading bandwagon fair weathers SBI has been plagued with led by our massive union of Lions Arch Commanders. Not to worry, I am sure we’ll be dealt a set back and maybe things will settle down. This medal league was a big mistake.

it wouldn’t surprise me at all to hear that SBI is currently fielding a much-higher-than-normal proportion of bandwagoners and fairweathers.

most of the ‘pro’ WvW players probably finished all their achievements long ago, saw that they are so far ahead that first place is locked in this week, and simply decided to take a break because they’ve had months to get in all the seal clubbing they would ever want.

so it wouldn’t surprise me that the teabagging, dancing, etc. is from people who are new to WvW (or more specifically, new to winning). when winning isn’t a routine thing for you, you take time to celebrate it. when winning is just more of the same stuff you did last night and the night before, there’s little reason to celebrate — you just move on to the next fight.

but knowing that SBI is fielding a lot of amateurs doesn’t make it any more fun to be on the receiving end. I logged off early last night — I don’t mind getting rolled over by superior numbers but the emotes really sucked all the fun out of being logged on.

-ken

The teabaggers generally disappear the moment the fighting gets tough. Its honestly a horrible week for us to have coming off a matchup against FA since our borderlands defense goes right down the tube and all the fairweathers show up in force to karma train. I used this week to do my wvw Jump Puzzles personally and otherwise have been running dungeons.

But you guys can really look forward to the emote spamming when you face FA and their Poo Poo Time guild. Just turn off emotes or make a second chat tab for WvW without emotes.

Dear [ZOMG],

Next time, if you want to see how a 1v2 works out, don’t wear your commander tag.

Thank you for bowing, but you might want to tag off if you are going to honestly respect getting both your warrior butts handed to you by a staff ele.

Love dearly,

XOXO apparently doesn’t understand the purpose of WvW. If they can’t see why spvp better suits their game, it’s pointless to argue with them.

WvW is open world pvp, isn’ it?
So you’re doing your wvw thing ( running from a door to another to make ppt) and we’re doing our thing ( killing you between these doors) and we’re all happy (most of time )

I personnaly don’t understand the door thing ( it’s not fun for me), but I’m not judging you or suggesting you to move to pveland and do champion/temple runs instead.

I would argue PvP’s smaller maps make it even more “turtley” than WvW. The current meta consists almost entirely of building as bunker as possible and sitting on a point. Pretty sure that’s the complete opposite of what XOXO wants.

WvW Also allows for a much larger build variety.

In SPVP, there is an individual meta and team meta that is very specific.

Even with great skill in a certain build, if the stats are changed or nerfed, it is simply not viable.

I have had less trouble since the staff buff patch in SPVP, but in general, a healing power based mantra heal build on an elementalist simply does not make sense.

Most times, I am posted on home point to bunker, I kill no one, heal no onebut myself and my heals go to waste. They are also nerfed to all kitten.

In WvW, I can go wherever I please, do not have to stay on a certain point, can kite like all hell, can use fun terrain, have the ability to heal and move with my team mates as I please and I heal for a f-ton.

It goes the same for other classes. there aren’t many choices in SPVP, most certainly not as many as in wvw.

Most of the roaming guild tags will respect duels and will respond as such if you bow and go off to a small obscure area to butt buddy with them.

If you see an [ouch] tag. I duel as well, any time, anywhere you would like! <3

er…. so… Props to [Os] last night, they put up a hell of a fight. Enjoyed being ran over by them!

Also, thanks to the interesting Map Chat in NSP and EBAY BL last night. Very interesting to see how SBI is already changing.

Appreciate the call out man, we are also enjoying the current matchup. Being in a matchup such as this presents incredible opportunity for growth. My only regret is that FA is not in this matchup; no offense intended to EB.

Since Reset night, you guys have put up a hell of a fight. it’s thoroughly enjoyable But yes I agree. I want to fight kittenain

I agree with this. the emotes get a little zealous. i just suggest keeping them turned off

I don’t understand all these suggestions that people turn off emotes. How else are you supposed to know who to head hunt for the rest of the night?

Sorry to hear that people are doing that.
I myself have only been on maybe 1 or 2 hours the past couple days, this matchup is terrible. I can’t even bring myself to k-train.
Thank god it’s over tomorrow night.

We had some fun last night on the NSP map running with a little pug zerg under the Outmanned buff after the big guilds left.

Dear everyone, XOXO is unimpressed.

Love Ya

Here’s a hint, if you don’t want people from SBI emoting, then you should probably have your teammates stop doing the same with every minor victory. Tell your teammates to stop spamming and get back in it.

And remember there are trollz on every server … this thread proves it.

For those of us who don’t omniblob or karma train it is very very boring. Roaming around 50-75% of the time looking for people to fight because Ebay and NSP for the most part aren’t showing up at all anymore. I don’t blame them really, just sucks for everyone all around.

You know you’re probably right, I hadn’t thought of this. A lot of our regulars will bow out and take a break after a tight matchup, especially if the following matchup is a blowout.

Edit: Nah I take it back, I just got 40 vs 1’d and a silver champion though it was hilarious. It’s just a zerg mentality server, no mystery here.

I’m actually not tanky at all, I only run about 2700 total armor and 600 healing. I just hold my own well against condi classes because I shifted to Soldier Runes and I use SoR for the passive condi removal along with the traited passive condi removal.

Oh, and FOR SHAME for that mesmer using perplexity runes. Isn’t Condi Mes strong enough without using the most over powered rune set in the game? We all need to boycott that garbage.

Perplexity runes definitely do need nerfing. The fact that the sixth bonus doesn’t have an ICD is straight up ridiculous.

That being said, I’ve been running a Condition-Interrupt build with the same trait layout (give or take 5 trait points here or there) since late April (i.e. before Mesmer interrupts were buffed, before Perplexity runes were introduced). I’m not going to forego a runeset that synergizes perfectly with that build/playstyle purely because it is unbalanced for non-mesmers. There are certainly strong Condi Mesmer builds sans Perplexity runes. However, those builds are not interrupt builds and I, personally, do not find them to be as rewarding to play.

I realize this comes across as a massive QQ on my part. For that, I apologize. I honestly enjoyed fighting you earlier. You play the meditation style well.

Today’s karma training from SBI has made me realize what a sad state WvW is in.

For those of us who don’t omniblob or karma train it is very very boring. Roaming around 50-75% of the time looking for people to fight because Ebay and NSP for the most part aren’t showing up at all anymore. I don’t blame them really, just sucks for everyone all around.

Assuming you are who I think you are…

Good god, you are a tank. I don’t think any other guardian has given me as much trouble in WvW as you did earlier during those duels. It’s been a while since I had to call a stalemate against someone who was not an ele. I was the ranger, Billiamgrace was the mesmer.

Ahh, yeah that was a fun duel, you got that regen down to a science :P

I’m actually not tanky at all, I only run about 2700 total armor and 600 healing. I just hold my own well against condi classes because I shifted to Soldier Runes and I use SoR for the passive condi removal along with the traited passive condi removal.

Oh, and FOR SHAME for that mesmer using perplexity runes. Isn’t Condi Mes strong enough without using the most over powered rune set in the game? We all need to boycott that garbage.

Perplexity runes definitely do need nerfing. The fact that the sixth bonus doesn’t have an ICD is straight up ridiculous.

That being said, I’ve been running a Condition-Interrupt build with the same trait layout (give or take 5 trait points here or there) since late April (i.e. before Mesmer interrupts were buffed, before Perplexity runes were introduced). I’m not going to forego a runeset that synergizes perfectly with that build/playstyle purely because it is unbalanced for non-mesmers. There are certainly strong Condi Mesmer builds sans Perplexity runes. However, those builds are not interrupt builds and I, personally, do not find them to be as rewarding to play.

I realize this comes across as a massive QQ on my part. For that, I apologize. I honestly enjoyed fighting you earlier. You play the meditation style well.

You mention that it is unbalanced for non-mesmers. I would think it is the MOST imbalanced for classes that can already apply confusion, since your duration and stacking intensity is MUCH higher. That said, I understand people ran confusion before the runes, still do, and will continue to do so once they are nerfed and that’s fine. The fact that the set creates a great imbalance though can not be ignored.

Since the reduction of confusion damage in WvW a greater number of stacks is required to cause any real damage. Perplexity runes make a nice supplement to mesmer’s other sources of confusion, which are very much trait/weapon dependent and in some cases, completely random. Unlike thieves, warriors, and engineers, mesmers do not have spammable interrupt skills. Mantra of Distraction (the only skill that comes close) has a 5 second cooldown between casts, and then a 30 second cooldown before it can be recharged again. Compare that with Headshot and Earthshaker. The abuse/imbalance of these runes does not lie with mesmers, but rather with those classes that can spam interrupts to inflict a condition they would otherwise have little to no access to.
