What skill gives you all boons? Bountiful theft gives only 2 and only if your target has 2 boons on them , 3 for Thrill of the Crime and those are fury, might and swiftness. So I am trying to figure this out.

Its the Steal Skill we get off of mesmers

There are two skills a memser has that involves boons. Arcane thievery will trade 3 conditions for 3 boons and Signet of Inspiration will grant a random boon every 10 seconds unless activated where it grants all boons to allies. So to get all boons the mesmer would first have to have the Signet slotted and secondly he would have to activate that signet. Now what intelligent mesmer would do that against a thief?

You clearly never played a thief, right? Everytime a thief use steal on ANY mesmer, they get a spell that give you all the boons.

Lets be clear: HoD was never rank 15 and would have to had passed both NSP and Kain to get to silver, and we havent been better then NSP since we went T8 and they went T6.

Even with the obviously rigged matchups the week before season 1 we didnt pass NSP.

I like NSP but the right server went to silver. Im sorry to say i hope the stress on NSP is painful and clear to Devon, so just maybe he will finally get it into his skull that WvW has fundamental flaws. clearly a hundred people yelling it into his ears on the forums is not getting through.

The worst thing that could have ever happened to us all would have been NSP winning bronze. FC would have gotten spanked even harder, the FC crying deafening, and Devon would feel 100% validated in the state of WvW.

But I know no amount of truth can counter FCs need to cry in a matchup thread. Carry on

Also I would like to add about HoD. They do have more numbers than FC but with their numbers they are so organized compared to other servers that I have been on. They can queue up multiple BGs because all the large WvW guilds coordinate with each other daily. FC does it once a week it seems like. They don’t treat their “PUGs” like trash they recruit them and train them up (FKB for instance is always turning baddies into goodies). FC we tend to harshly criticize our “PUGs” for not running certain builds. Overall HoD is a great server with awesome players and their player skill is far better than that of FC due to them welcoming new players and giving them advice about WvW. [MU] is a TC guild(?) from what I have learned and HoD welcomed them openly and already coordinates with them like they have been there for ages. We got [PPK] and we basically ignored their existence. They are now super small and not very viable in a zerg fight (You guys are still good players and keep up with the awesome fights!) Overall I’m having a blast fighting you noobs at the windmill. This will be an awesome 2 weeks for me and the others that joined me on this vacation. It is really sad that I read back on previous match ups and FC accuses HoD of being full of scrubs when they overall have better players. A hint towards FC, learn to coordinate better with each other and quit using the word “PUGs” when talking to your zerg, no one likes that kitten.

TLDR: Don’t say a server is bad until you see how they run. HoD is an awesome server and I wish them the best in Silver League!

Let me get this clear.

1. Everytime HOD faced NSP before the leagues, we lost. So why is HOD supposed to be in Silver League? (According to some non-HOD players).

2. MU xferred to HOD – 5 of them came. The current group of players in MU is all resident HOD players, except for the 5 from TC.

3. HOD probably have more numbers than most servers in Bronze League (other than SF, not sure about this) but I do give credit to our WVW guilds for working closely together.

Okay, FC please cry somemore.

Over the past 72 hours, its felt like GoM has never had an opportunity to leave its BL to push any where else. Any time we leave or send a small group to make push in either BL or EB, it doesn’t last long because they are called back to our BL.

How we have a 4k lead over FC is mind-boggling. Fractal patch comes out tomorrow, should be interesting to see how that effects the rest of the week, especially with Thanksgiving on Thursday.

Happy Hunting and Happy Holidays folks.

I’ve noticed that when ever GoM is winning, we can run very large numbers in a zerg. Not quite like HoD can, but definitely comparable to FC. The problem is, and I think this goes for every server, some more than others, GoM doesn’t have a large dedicated WvW populace. I’d estimate when we run a large zerg, only a fraction of them are the players we play WvW daily, while the rest are PvEr’s that are just going with the flow, especially when we are winning. But when we are losing, our numbers drop, because those PvEr’s don’t come for the fights, they come for the farming. It’s hard to be farming tower lords and keeps if you aren’t winning and you’re outnumbered.

Wish I could stay up longer as it was a lot of fun. GOM great job defending your garrison. It was a blast. It was also a blast with that three way fight in the FC garrison even with the lag.

I really got a nice test on a new version of a thief and he survived all those matchups without getting downed even though we failed to take either garrison. Too many loot sacks though.

I know some of that was due to ones I killed having worse lag then I was having. I do wish that gets fixed one day.

FC and GOM are real close for second. FC closed some ground today and it will be interesting how those dynamics play out the rest of the week.

Please don’t let the actions/words of the few reflect badly on the server as a whole. I for one enjoy being outnumbered as I find it helps to better improve on communication and coordination from the dedicated few. However, it can also be frustrating to be constantly kicked while your down to the people playing respectfully, and some turn ugly.

@guyforce. I also think we could learn a lot from HoD in the way they treat their “Pug’s”. And after the kitten whooping you gave me the other day at the windmill I think I could learn a lot about guardian play from you also. Was still fun btw even though you wrecked me

Swords in our SE camp! So I head down there only to find a sole FC Guardian in the process of taking the camp. Well I should save it I tell myself, after all that is what Heroes do right? However shortly after that Guardian ran away I receive a party invite. The Guardian wants to chat! I figure she wants to congratulate me on my awesome save of the camp but such was not the case. I received a plaintive request by that FC Guardian to “Please go away, you can take the camp back later”.

I pondered some, feeling a small bit of empathy and wavering in my resolve but then I looked at the map and noticed that FC did not own a single camp in their Bl! I said “Go to your own BL to cap camps”. I was told that it was “too far to run” so in turn I replied “perhaps if you took your camps, built your waypoints, it would not be that far”. Makes sense does it not? Then I was summarily informed that HoD did not belong in Bronze league.

So the question that should be asked is if you did not want to mess with HoD as they should be in Silver League what in the world are you doing in HoD’s BL, solo capping HoD’s supply camps? Would you not expect some resistance to your nefarious endeavors? I went on to kill that Guardian 4 or 5 times. I mean she should have congratulated me on my awesomeness! I may have relented……….. NOT!

Lately I haven’t seen much people recognize opponents skill and admitting their own flaw.

But you point out something that your server could work on, it’s up to the rest of the server to step out and change for better.

Keep on improving, I do hope the overall WvW standard gets higher and everyone enjoy the good fights, regardless of server.

What skill gives you all boons? Bountiful theft gives only 2 and only if your target has 2 boons on them , 3 for Thrill of the Crime and those are fury, might and swiftness. So I am trying to figure this out.

Its the Steal Skill we get off of mesmers

There are two skills a memser has that involves boons. Arcane thievery will trade 3 conditions for 3 boons and Signet of Inspiration will grant a random boon every 10 seconds unless activated where it grants all boons to allies. So to get all boons the mesmer would first have to have the Signet slotted and secondly he would have to activate that signet. Now what intelligent mesmer would do that against a thief?

I want to address the comments that HoD doesn’t belong in bronze.

The first point I want to make is that the very concept of “belonging” to a league is artificial. ANet divided the servers up into arbitrary groups of 6/9/9 based on rank. Somebody is going to be number one in each league but who that is doesn’t mean anything since if they had done 12/12, 9/9/6, 9/6/9, or 6/6/6/6 then things would be radically different.

The second point I want to make is that the bottom silver server is Northern Silver Peaks. The last time HoD faced NSP was in week 31 and HoD was roflstomped. In fact, for the most part every bronze server that went up against NSP has been roflstomped for some time. If HoD had somehow snuck past NSP into silver then the same complaints about a server not “belonging” in bronze would still be made, they would just be aimed at NSP.

My third point is that the during league week 5, Sorrows Furnace lost to HoD by only 50k points. If HoD doesn’t belong in bronze then neither does SF because we’re pretty closely matched. (In league week 6 SF got crushed by over 140k but that’s not representative of the strength of the two servers because SF decided to take it easy that week).

Finally, in non-league weeks 35 through 41 HoD was ranked 18 and that was after slowly clawing its way up from rank 21. In the week immediately prior to the season HoD went up in rank to 17. Given the way Glicko ranking works it’s unlikely HoD could have done anything to jump higher than that.

I know WvW has serious population and coverage imbalances. Outside of this league stuff every server that isn’t Blackgate or Vizunah experiences it. There’s nothing anybody can do about that. All you can do is have good fights and keep improving yourself, your guild, and your server.

Here’s a big “/salute” to every FC and GoM that comes out and does their best in this tough fight. I’ll see you on the field.

Very well put Keen. I just want to add one point to that. It is common knowledge that NSP tends to be the ANet devs home server although they can transfer freely to other servers. NSP being at the bottom of silver league is actually a good thing. I am sure that the flaws with the current WvW system are reverberated most powerfully at the bottom of a league rather than the top. If NSP had been in bronze (and won easily) I am sure that many of the sentiments that were voiced would not be heard as well by the devs in their home server.

Seriously HoD, you tanked on purpose to stay in Bronze league. You had to know you would take some flack for it. Just take your dolyak finisher and move on.

This.

How am I supposed to applaud 30 Henge of Denravi holding north camp against a server that they can reduce to +0 PPT if they didn’t even show any courage against the idea of being in silver league?

No one cares what league you’re in. We just want you to have fightin spirit and I am definitely gonna be on your case if you don’t (for 2 more weeks).

I love it when people act like they would not have done the same thing in that situation.

Get snuffed out like a candle for 7 weeks, or be competitive? Choice is obvious, and let me tell you something the first match-up with SF was the most competitive match either server has had in a very long time.

We would have been in trouble without our night crew, I admit that.

Second match up with SF, blowout. All their fair weathers gave up. Same exact thing that would happen to HoD if we made it into Silver league.

Point is, you’re getting kitten y at the wrong people we didn’t design this league system.

HoD, SF, NSP and IoJ are oddball servers, they don’t belong in Bronze but also certainly don’t belong in Silver. Not in its current set up anyways.

Would you have preferred getting LOL smashed by NSP? Spawn camped the majority of the day? Choose your poison.

Stop acting like you would of taken some sort of moral high road. You know kitten well if any of our servers made it into Silver league half our wvw population would vanish to pout while farming Karka and omnomberries. Then you would of sat on top of a rock somewhere in Orr thinking to yourself, man we should of stayed in Bronze league.

Also, say what you want about HoD but it’s population and organization has really stepped up it’s game from what it use to be. I believe she may even be starting to slowly turn into a WvW server.

Tbh we understand and we know lol, we have all been there, in fact one thing I noticed is smaller servers like AR/ET started just sieging up everything lol, 20 arrow carts in the lords room or siege up even for small groups, the mentality this system created is just shameful. Although it is understandable, the problem isn’t you or some respect commmanders, its the casual pug who goes on about better tactics, better coordination, better use of numbers etc. That tics people off, because in the end it really is about coverage, and numbers. I have been in too many 20 v 50 fights this matchup and tbh idc about being better or worse, in the end morale is lost and people give up when they cant sustain any longer.

When people talk about skill and whatnot it tics others off when they try to make it seem like they are superior in some sense, but it really is just numbers and coverage, I just stick to duels or roaming and sometimes even i get kitten ed by the tactics of other servers, and you can say my server isn’t clean on that side either. Ending note alot of forum wars are started because if people relaxed, they would get bored in matchups like these where one server has a 400+ ppt and the other 2 are struggling to kill each other over second spot.

NSP wasn’t any better they had big egos and the only respectable thing they did was face the music and go for silver where atleast they got the “fights” they wanted, as for SF lol, SF had a huge ego about having a shot at gold league and whatnot, lol they couldn’t even get past silver and they are dreaming gold. The only issue is server population balance atm, once that gets out the way, if every server had equal presence then skill would come into play.

Ending note we understand but people want drama, want to fuss over issues and try to compensate for the frustration over a game which they enjoy, but it gets ruined by unbalancing due to external factors..

Yeah, but he can claim that he personally wouldn’t have taken it easy or maybe done something other than WvW for a week, and that’s all that matters on the interwebs.

Nevermind those of us who were in WvW during HOD’s supposed “tanking” are still marked by his assumptions that the whole server is a bunch of people who don’t want a difficult fight.

Just a thought on “Cheese” builds I had after talking to Narsil at fight club last night, the only cheese builds are those that use perplexity. Everything else can be countered. Cheese is synonymous with Cheap not viable or overpowered. I’ve been misusing it and I feel bad telling d/p thieves and condimancers that they are cheesy when they’re really just “easy to play” and OP, respectively.

A quick example of “Cheese” might be a p/p thief who uses perplexity ruins, thieves guild, and a thief trap in a duel. Just a random example That said, that player can play the game however they want and I bet it’s a really fun build to run.

Its fine man no worries, perplexity is easy atm on mesmers , engies and etc, but builds can be countered, i had tons of fun and that was some good duels, sorry about the last build, its a really zerky anti thief build I keep under covers because its my last spec I ever run if I ever get beat with every other build, also I salute you for not running perma stealth, more thieves should try and play that condi build, I just personally think people should expand their horizons and think outside the box like, idk traveler runes, on a condi build, with rabid, dire and zerker on a mesmer build, sounds crazy but hey it works :P

So heres the TL;DR version of this thread:

FC: Bla Bla Bla we are talking kitten attacking GOM and hiding from HoD

HoD: We have 4X your numbers, at least GOM but you keep bringing us a fight so we will keep zerging your BL because at least theres a tiny nugget of something almost resembling a challenge in it. /Lolicon /Video of us Zerging

GOM: /Eyeroll. /Troll also /Eyeroll.
