Guild Wars 2

EDIT: It’s been brought to my attention these thread are not allowed. Mods feel free to delete this.

Had a fun fight with SBI at the CD bay tonight. The fight lasted about 40 minutes and, although we were eventually bested, it was one of the best fights I have had the pleasure of fighting being a part of in a long time.

Good fighting SBI, it was an excellent fight on both sides.

Yes, the only difficult thing is the Queen Beedog. Other than that, this is 100% solo. I have solo’d it on all my chars twice over at this point.

I know I will get flak for this but this is something I posted on our server forums also, we need to enlighten our PvE groups to WvW, and show them what server pride means, I am sooo happy we were able to get PvE players to try WvW and them notice its so much fun that they do not want to leave. This is the reason [PVP] have so many online in WvW.

Ok, here is the flak you asked for: I’m sure it’s easier to make PvE players like WvW when you server uterly dominate the oposition…

On ET and FC, you won’t get this chance… You WILL face some huge SF force at some point and lose… Then you’ll head elsewhere and there is SF again. And when you look, all the map is green, and SF have people waving at you from Woodhaven. I don’t think a player would ever return under this circunstace unless he is a masochist.

Paint me a masochist then.

P.S. stop hatin on BC cause he left, he got frustrated and moved on, everyone else should too. Tired of seeing all the people talking about the guy who spent two all nighters with me this weekend to get the lead back from FC(for 2nd anyways). I didn’t see any of the major guilds on at all this weekend doing anything about the lead SF/FC put on us. Call it hide and seek if you want(and your childish) but those of us that pulled all nighters this weekend to get the points bac,k were runnin with him cause he actually wanted to take the lead back instead of letting SF roll and get a free boost up to T7.

If he wants to leave, that’s fine. He’s done a lot for the server, and it’s sad to see him go, but he will play as he wants to play. My problem is that he is recruiting for a guild on another server in ET. We are already struggling as it is, we don’t need him convincing people to follow him….

Hopefully I can be there. Later EST times work best for me on weekends. However, I am available at almost any hour Mon-Thurs.

Gilkin, not sure if you are making the right correlation.

I doubt there were as many transfers as there were new interested players in WvW. They’ve introduced a new progression system; a few guilds have told me their players refused to do WvW until this patch.

I’d give it a week before things go back to normal.

Thanks to new culling updates, I finally see the gravity of the situation.

This is what we have to deal with everyday and for the better part of that day. Try we we might, there is just no stopping the SF numbers and skill. Anyone who says that the numbers are not that different is jaded.

However, thanks to March 26th patch, there has never been a better time to move to a server that needs YOU! The downside is that many of our own have fled to seek comfort in those servers that better suit their need to win every match. Thus, we look beyond our own borders to those that seek challenge. Those that seek danger and impossible odds.

Come to ET (or FC) and fight alongside men who, despite months of punishment, have never put their swords down and never given up the fight.

Anet should just do the right thing and combine Ferg and ET already. I’m telling you, we can call it Eredon’s Crossing, idgaf.

Then, instead of having 3 maps, we just have a King of the Hill style of combat with 2 castles attacking for control of 1 hill for points.

Bustanoggin.1278:

We are talking about your server as a whole. Majority of your server avoids SF. There is 3 servers on a tier for a reason they are supposed to all fight each other, not team up and jump the weakest.

We fight SF, we just can’t hold anything for more than 5minutes.

Advent.6193:

Well, Air. There’s a reason I said elements. All three of our servers have “rogue” elements.
Fact is, I myself go after any non-Ferg. But, between the regularity of both ET and SF splitting our BL by sides, and what my own eyes witnessed … something’s going on.

Don’t get me wrong. I expect things like that – it’s a simulated war for kitten’s sake.
It’s just funny, with how many times we’ve been accused of playing other sides against
the middle.

As for our numbers drop, take your pick.
1.) Guilds getting tired of the Tier’s wackiness, and leaving.
2.) Guilds getting tired of the Tier’s wackiness, and staying in PvE. At least until
SF moves up.
3.) Gods only know . . .

Fair enough, but you guys shouldn’t think we are picking on you with SF. Nothing has changed except you presence has lowered. I KOS for most fergs and SF, but hell, I have been nice and let lowbies live after I down them – this is not specific to either server.

Advent.6193:

Bustanoggin.1278:

so what your saying is you a bunch of cowards?

Actually, what they’re not saying is that there’s some rather obvious collaboration
between -at least elements- of their two servers. As evidenced by the Etheron Hills attack I just died in. Bunch of SF guardin the gate, Lotta ET chillin out inside.
… coincidence…?
…or…
conspiracy?
You decide

TBH we have been convinced that SF and FC were teaming up on us. FC used to beat us all the time, not sure why their numbers dropped so drastically, but they used to be ahead.

We just like easy targets.

EDIT: Plus the feeling is mutual.

Getting really kittening tired of your kitten ET

I know you guys are buttmad but kitten kitten no need for exploits

Getting inside watergate and the gate is full.

That screen shot doesn’t prove anything by the way, you can’t see the gate in that picture. There could of also been a Mesmer hiding in the keep.

well the first pic shows that we are building mortars which would mean it has been an unbelievably long time for a mesmer to be in the keep without being found and here is shot of the gate at full.

I once had a guildy hang out in a keep for an hour before we had the numbers to launch a proper assault. Do not underestimate desperate players.

Having some fun in WvW with our sworn enemy.

Only a WvW player knows what L to R is referring to.

Really guys? We are still doing this?

TAKE AWAY ALL CUSTOM TRAITS FROM WVW. I FEEL LIKE IT CREATES AN IMBALANCE CAUSE SOMEONE MIGHT PICK SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY THAN ME.

That’s how I feel. If you wanna remove Norishment, Food, Blessings, – Consumables -, let’s just save time and remove anything that has a choice to it.

King Amadaeus.8619:

I still find it funny that several ET people are relying on the numbers argument. If people only knew, this matchup in reality very close and FC/ET haven’t a clue….The FIRST thing I noticed when I transferred to SF was: “where are all the people I THOUGHT I saw when I was on ET…”

Hmmm. You’d think that if people are still using that argument, than it probably holds some merit.

If your 200 man presence is down 50 people, it’s going to seem empty to you; however, that is still vastly more than us. That said, you are no wrong with your talk of morality. ET saw a considerable gain of WvW players the week that we hit second place and we have been carrying that with us. However, it would be ludicrous to say that the numbers are balance, the fact that SF routine dominates both servers, relentlessly, in all borderlands, at all times of day, with seemingly endless zergs, attests to that.

Jeknar.6184:

Too bad that only 3 hours later everything is back to green… Oh well… At least were back on 2nd.

At first I had no idea that you posted a score in that image. You sir are gifted at the art of taking a screen shot.

No kidding, I look forward to Jeknar’s screenshots. Never posts a boring one.

On a side note, it seems Eredon Terrace has been a thorn in SF’s side. They seem to be all about the ET borderlands this week and almost ignoring FC.

10/10 – But only because she’s pretty hot. I’d let her sneak up on me.

And on the other end of the spectrum, there’s me:

Scumbag Mawile.6384:

We have a lot of prominent WvW guilds, some with hundreds of members (cosa has 700+).

If they want to spam their emblems on a place instead of letting another guild, they should be paying for the upgrades. It’s logic. They are WvW-only guilds, they have funds specifically for WvW, which means upgrades and BPs.

There is no arguing this, it just makes sense. Claiming means they’re claiming the structure as theirs and their responsibility. It’s why the feature is there. I’m going to assume they fought for it, they upgraded it, they defended it. Claiming just to have your emblem on it (and no, I can’t recall getting buffs from any structure other than SM a couple of times) and then abandoning it is the mark of a kittenty guild.

This and everything about it!

If you are going to claim ANYTHING (Ok, maybe camps are ok if you really cant control the urge) then you best be upgrading and supply it with buffs (If possible).

Know that being commander is more than just a tag and bossing people around. It’s about making WvW fun for the players and having strong tactics. 100g is just the investment to get the tag. You should also be willing to provide all supply for the sieges under your command.

As far as picking the right class, it really depends on your play-style in my opinion. I am a thief commander, not running glass of course; I would recommend staying away from a glass cannon build because your fellow players won’t like ressing their commander every 2 seconds in the midst of combat.

Caligare.7946:

So I didn’t take much of a look into the album, because quite frankly, it didn’t show much. Here’s what we know on SF:

KING guild is one of the more respectable guilds. I would say you witness skill over exploit (mesmer/thief + TS). Personal opinion, but most of the KING vet’s are top notch players (for T8 standards).

The album showing a generic zerg at DB is hard to say. I do know of some tricky, and sneaky treb spot’s that are hard to ID (hint: supply camp) that can hit walls/gates.

I have to say that I’m not a fan of the witch hunt and outright crying of blood that I see from ET and FC about anything that MIGHT even resemble an exploit/hack/not fair. I understand that the resentment of this match-up is boiling to contention, but trying to generalize, and throw any server under the bus for what is assumption is just wrong.

Don’t get me wrong, if you do see anything that you might think is an exploit/hack, please feel free to report it (to Anet, not the forums). But until judgement has been made, don’t go generalizing and saying the ENTIRE server are bad people. It’s insulting. I expect the same behavior from all servers, SF, FC, and ET.

I get what you are trying to do, I really do; no one likes to see their server (And possibly guild) go under-fire. However, this album and another have pretty well been accepted by most people who have seen them, SF players included. As well as a moderator, Habib.

I am in no way suggesting the SF is exploiting, but rather a select few individuals. No different than when ET and FC had individuals exploiting: I think we remember the whole ET porting up onto tower walls…..

Wow VIADA, we need to start a community fund to upgrade your computer. Such a good moment should not be subject to pixelation.

Thank you SF for Lowlands, it was time for me to get my Gift of Mastery and you came through by dying from my rifle.

I have another as well, no names, but better resolution:

Home World: Eredon Terrace
Guild Name: Tactical Terror [TAC]
Guild Website: TacticalTerror.org
In-Game Contact: Chody, Kodar, Vondie
Focus:* WvW, PvE
Quick Notes: We are a larger guild on Eredon Terrace. We only want players willing to represent us 100% of the time and be an active part of our family of players.
We are casual and don’t expect you to play 20+ hours a week. Fun, friendly members and we love chatting on teamspeak.

If you are looking for a decent guild on your server, so you don’t have to transfer, you should consider joining Tactical Terror

We have a good member based, and a really tight-knit community. We have a heavy focus on Dungeons and WvW.

In terms of members, we have about 212 in the roster; however, the regulars make the family and I assure you, you won’t be disappointed with us. They are quirky, knowledgeable, and make Guild Wars 2 worth playing (For me anyways)

Check us out:

Tactical Terror.org

We are actively seeking members from other servers to join us on Eredon Terrace.

We have been putting in an effort to create a more enjoyable experience for all our members.

Check out us in WvW

No lag in Eredon Terrace. Just Saying

Tactical Terror was having some fun in WvW today. I think we provided a much needed morale boost for our members and players alike.

All I see there are a list of games that have been out for way longer than GW2.

I think a big point that needs to be made here is that thieves are probably the top class for 1v1, but certainly not the top class for multiple fights. I dare say that any group that loses to a thief is simply not skilled enough to deal with it.

Most of the videos I have seen (and even from my own experience), show people getting way too confused with thief jumping around. Have you tried facing a good mesmer 1v1? Sure, your death didn’t come a swiftly, but it came nevertheless.

Excuse me while I facepalm as well. Pretty sure this is a joke.

In fact:

chandrawib.5489:

Thieves in most games have invisibility. Why do you complain gw2 thieves have invisibility.

I think you already know the answer they are going to give you: “This is exactly why thieves are a bad class for any game.”

Hey guys I was thinking about getting my girlfriend a gift for our anniversary, she likes chocolates but complains too much about gaining weight (she’s 125 and 5"6). Was wondering if maybe you guys had a good solution. Thanks.

(PS Stuffed Bear was last year)

New girlfriend.

We should probably just get rid of _.

We had a great deal of fun with you tonight SF, here is just one encounter:

This, everything about this post is a good thing.

Just having a bit of fun with the guild.

Be patient, there are thousands of players also updating right this second.

Eventually you will connect and start downloading.

There is nothing you can do about it.

Alternative Solution:

Download it later.

‘Using stealth no longer resets NPC aggression tables.’

I thought we were already quite squishy, how is this going to effect us in dungeons?

Expect to get aggro more.

The offerings? Seriously? They’re +6 to stats. That’s like saying get rid of infusions because some people don’t have them in their ascended gear and don’t feel like getting them and thus are playing at a +5 stat disadvantage.

All classes are capable of using consumables to.

Theoretically, no one should be complaining about them because they ALL have access if they want to.

That is the absolutely wrong way to look at things. It really is. If something is unbalanced, the way to fix it is to not “give everyone access”, as the game is not designed around those unbalanced elements being utilized by everybody. The items either have to be balanced or removed – not given to everyone to be exploited and make the game even worse when it comes to balance.

All I am saying is that there is nothing stopping people from using Blessings (+6 stats) or Skale venom. Removing these items, you might as well remove sigils that cause conditions and food/utility consumables….

However, I do agree that certain items definitely need to be removed (like those kitten gears!)

I do Fractals religiously (level 30+) and I have run into this problem a few times. However, there have been many instances where I have proven myself more than useful in dungeons (Healing/ Regen, stealth res, blind, poison, walls, the list goes on). There have been cases where I actually surprised my group.

So I will say that yes, it is a bit of a stigma being a thief, but that is because people got sick of running into glass cannons that needed to be resurrected every battle. However, if you run a beefier build, and know how to play your class, then you shouldn’t have any problems as long as you are able to state that you know what you are doing.

Why are gates the hardest enemy in WvW?

They are immune to all conditions, fireproof despite being made of wood, and have outrageous HP.

Air.6452:

Skale venom can only be consumed every 5 minutes

It lasts 10 minutes and isn’t removable, sense?

Obviously you don’t use it. It doesn’t persist through downstate, much like a sigil stack.

Also a bit of a hybrid build. I run 10/30/30/0/0

D/D and SB mostly, but I often switch depending on my situation. For consumables I generally use Omnomberry bread and Quality Maintenance oil.

I didn’t read every comment but honestly this is L2P problem. Some guy posted a video up there of a thief messing with a zerg. But honestly…….. That zerg was full of people who have no idea what they are doing except following a mindless zerg.

Did they just assume that once the thief disappeared that he was magically unattackable and gone? Like what a joke.

I am biased, yes, because I play a thief. At times, I have slayed 5- man groups with ease. But I have also been bested 1v1 on many occasions.

The class is not OP, the people kittening are just complaining because they are bad at this game and Anet gave them a place to complain.

of course they had no idea what to do there was a thief they couldnt see 90% of the time going around killing everyone and believe me if i could submit this in private i would be happy because then i dont have to answer to people like you and you should have read every comment it might have hit you with some knowledge and i dont suck i am actually very good on my warrior…

But are you really?

If you are on this forum complaining that a class which has already received many nerfs needs more, then I can only assume that you are just offended that some players are just better than you.

There is no way that is thief is going invis for 10+ seconds every time they reappear, it is just not going to be the case, there are NO skills that would allow this. They can disappear for 3-4 second periods, and if you are acting like an idiot and not doing anything about it when they stealth, then yes, they are going to make a fool of you.

I have said this before in another forum: If you want to nerf a thief for being too stealthy, then nerf Mesmers flurry of blades making then invincible, and nerf warriors hundred blades because it does like 30k damage. kitten it, nerf swirling winds because it makes it take forever to destroy siege equipment. Nerf GW2 because apparently it’s too hard for some people.

FilthyRat.4652:

Well the fact they are trying to single us out as being the ones to use Zergs is just a continuation to the fighting that has been going on since the first match we won…just can’t wait to be out of this tier.

It was a compliment; I was not singling you guys out as the ones to use “Zergs,” I was simply referencing to your zerg. Also, it is not like I am wrong, last week at Garrison, you guys took down one wall and continued to try to funnel into it whilst we held you off for a very long time before you brought an army of golems to another gate. We wondered why you didn’t move your treb 2 inches to the left and take out the other wall.
