Guild Wars 2

CuddleStrike.8215:

hex.3218:

What used to happen:

No enemies in sight due to culling. Then, just as they were about to come in range, they used Veil and had 8 seconds to roll up unseen. Then the lag of rendering hit. Success!

What happens now:

We see you at range well before you use veil. We see you lay down veil. We move out of the way. You ‘disappear’ for 4 seconds, but we know exactly where you were, are and are going. Failure.

Veil still works, but we can see you before you use veil now. I see you from very far away. Maybe you need to practice using 15 veils in a row so that we can’t see you before you veil again?

I’m fairly certain that all guilds need to adjust to these issues. This isn’t just one guild doing it.

So lets move on to another topic…. <3

Edit:

Score Update Attached for those interested! <3

I didn’t mention a guild… the use of ‘you’ was just a casual phrasing. You all know me. If I want to troll someone, I’ll quote them or name names. This was more an informational summary of the new meta.

After the pack, wvw becomes pointless zerg v zerg

Zergs will break up again in short order. I just think people were used to not seeing what they were up against and they were more ballsy with their fights. Now that they see the 40 man zerg, they are a little more timid to split off from the main force. Once people realize that you can still wipe that 40 with 20, they will split off again. We just have to get past that first mental barrier.

^haha. Merc is FoO’s bff

To be honest I would’ve quit GW2 a long time ago if it wasn’t for FoO, they are at least fun to fight in open field and to be honest I’m only really in it for the fights. Admidedly when we’re down on numbers and have low support we do wipe a lot to FoO + DC +PuGs etc, but that is more an indication of numbers over skill. FoO is a very skilled opponent and when we have equal forces I would say that the fights are relatively even (relatively). <3 FoO, keep trucking we just get better and try to be better every night.

you know MERC is BG’s main SEA force?why dont you face FoO?

You mean what we’ve been doing for 4 months now?

Have u been to sor bl tonight?
NYS/SYN/SAHP splited into three groups to fight Foo ball
We are fairly successful, but after BG also bring the super zerg to the field
We are just moving loots.
The map is too small for group splitting strategy, strike team is too easy to meet the zerg

And this pack even encourages players to form a larger zerg ball.
I suggest anet to remove all the keep/tower/camp
Just a open field is enough

Like a pit of death, that’s what the SoR spawn area looked like on BG BL yesterday when I logged in. I got to pop tag for like 20 minutes for all of that nonsense, it was awesome. I swear there were like 200+ ppl there!

Its awesome if you meet such epic fight once or twice per today
But if ppl keeps doing that all day long. I think there is some problem on the design of system

Actually, back when fights like this REALLY happened, siegeing castles and so on, this is exactly what would happen in real life.

Get as many people together in one spot that you could, and kill the other side that is doing the same. Of course you have raiding parties and smaller fights, but each is less effective without the other (large force and small force).

Any game that encourages people to act similar to how they acted in reality is pretty cool in my book.

That was allot of fun. It was a pain to get the milita to move and push when we needed them too though. I think allot of them get intimidated by seeing so many name plates they hesitate. And when you hesitate against a larger more organized group your going to loose 90% of the time.

I think soon enough the novelty of these super zergs will die down. All yesterday SoR was just stacked up on a single commander. Partly because it was needed to fight hte other servers zergs but there you have it. Its a vicious cycle where 1 server zergs to counter the other servers zerg that is zerging to stop your zerg. Soon enough people will break off and start back capping towers more and we will split back up to normal.

I think we can all agree what is happening now is not usual play and I hope it dosent last too much longer.

The main problem a lot of people would see though, is the individualism that the playstyle lacks. There are a lot of teams that can’t field numbers, so they cry because of larger teams than them. There are teams that can field numbers, so they say, well, you should recruit more. Yet, the point of the game is to work as a team or a Medieval army. That’s why you see so many synergies between classes, even look at the implementation of combo fields and blast finishers.

Regardless of what the semantics are behind it, I could probably sum up a lot of arguments people have toward each other on any forums when the WvWvW mechanic truly wasn’t designed for “Guild Wars.” There’s a lot of people striving for recognition of some sort whether it is through successful game play throughout a night, a great defense played, or even winning at a GvG that has no true rules and is in an open field that almost anyone can interrupt. We would probably have a lot of tamer people in any neck of the woods being able to flash screenshots of what their guild has been able to accomplish, rather than to hear, number wars.

In any case, I thoroughly enjoy the game and the many different aspects of game play that there are within it.

Thanks for the good fights from my opponents, and the assistance from my allies,

Not sure if this was posted before but this is so much fitting to what wvw is now

Made me lol…

very sad but very true

I’m not a big fan of zerging but I have to say I really like the culling fix. If I want to zerg I know where I can find the fights and if I want to run around solo I can usually avoid the zergs. I did get rolled over a few times today but that happens.

Speaking of zergs, how come some are called invaders and some are called assaulters?

You get new titles as you rank up. I think assaulter was rank 5 I dunno what 10 is yet.

Why don’t you stay up late enough to see that they fight FoO every bloody night? Jesus. Lol. And to top it off… they’re Oceanic.

JQ aka “The Swarm”

So everyone in T1 enjoying seeing all the zergs in their entirety now?

Bet you missed this zerg.

JQ aka “The Swarm”

JQ is now known as “The Borg”

They will assimilate you if you don’t watch out!!!

Some zerg on zerg action for you pervs.

It’s like playing a whole new game. A toast to the new era!

That screenshot is awesome. Two forces colliding as the third faction watches from the battlements of their tower. Epic.

Just running around the map.

Hey guys, i saw a pet rez a mesmer inside Hills on the north outer gatewall is this normal can pets rez players inside?

This match is boring.. T2 was much more fun. JQ server is nothing but numbers and are just a PvP bag farm for Blackgate. All those numbers and a ton of camping. This WvW match got old last week. We don’t mind the SoR+Jq vs BG more loot for us.

PS.SoR too scared to ever hit JQ. Smh

urzen.7096:

^^ Happens daily. I haven’t seen a SoR group run into us (Blackgate) since mid March.

Amazingly fun ongoing siege of hills in SoR BL.

tried it out last night. was around each and every single map for a little bit and mang, loving this new update so far. only in EBG did i get a bit of skill lag.

was pretty crazy seeing such large numbers on all sides! self server included. O____o haven’t experienced full out ZvZ yet but looking forward to seeing my screen explode with text.

most fun last night though was running a 5-6 man havoc squad. i was definitely more “alert” as i fell most people were running in large zergs.. kept me on edge which was nice.. but i feel with culling gone, it’s even more safe and more effective running havoc squads now since you can spot any zerg 10 miles away. and just hit up all the spots the zerg isn’t at.

I mean “face”? not “chase”?I know they are Oceanic?and they are at GMT+10, FoO at GMT+8. FoO fight them at SOS days, every night FoO on ,we would have to attack 3lvl keep and tower, did you ever fight at asian time zone?? after 3 times wipe, they always switch to other BL, if we wanna fight them ,we have to find where they are.

Nuked.2360:

Hint MERC veil does not have the desired effect anymore

Veil is still a very useful ability in large fights. It may be terrible for trying to sneak up on opponents in an open field now but I used it to great effect last night.

You just have to find its new niche.

Score update? stuck at work…..

score update for those farming irl gold.

thanks, Geko! farming IRL gold huh? i like that. though can’t decide if that makes me feel better or worse yet XDD

Dude…no kidding the part where we were all on the walls was hilarious. Once we had your inner west walls down we were trebbing the outter wall so JQ would stop trying to rush us. haha good times until JQ had to be a poor sport and leave.

My first full night back since the patch. Great job fixing this ANet. No culling and almost no skill lag. You’ve won back a customer.

Great fights on SoR BL in Hills. Here’s some of the fun.

I honestly have no idea what to say about what is happening in EBG.

Anet should just open up SOR and JQ’s map chats so you can coordinate a little better.

Great fighting in the Jade’s Quarry borderlands. Had some fun run ins with guilds I’ve never seen before like FP, and then some with EMP. Hope you guys are starting to see the [Gods] tag a bit more out there. That one giant skirmish with the portal bomb at the northern camp was glorious, good job knocking us out of there.

I think the dynamics of 1v1v1 are amazing for that very reason. It is certainly not that way on the other maps.

For Jade quarry to facilitate this behaviour i understand more because it gives them the edge. You guys make a strategy to keep BG down, thus heightening your lead. It’s a viable strategy and I completely understand that. I have no problems.

For SOR to be doing this, though, it’s like they are literally just playing only for 2nd place.

Last week and this past weekend SOR camped BG entrance while JQ easily took the keep. I know you guys are saying being double teamed is part of the game, but you guys really should be watching what is going on. I have literally seen a SOR zerg stand inside the BG keep and protecting the front while JQ tried to cap the keep. They did not even fight each other.

You guys say double teaming is part of the game, but man, this has been going on for almost 2 weeks now. Let alone the fact that SOR is hardly in JQ BL.

JQ and BG also doubled teamed me yesterday
I was capping a BG sentry when the guards from a JQ yak started attacking me as well >:c

go to bed, sleep on your side and pray that you dont have to sit for too long tomorrow.

Best moment of the night on BGBL:

Having the FEAR, LUN, CDS, TW zerg chase my havoc squad from our spawn tower to the west coast of war machine island before turning back to our spawn tower allowing us to feed off the 4-5 people who the zerg forgot about.

Dont let it get to you, SOR will back in third where they belong soon.
