Guild Wars 2

PetricaKerempuh.7958:

lets put it this way… treb/cata… no1 can argue that zerg at door was just unstoppable. now it isnt anymore and its a good thing.

I guess your server is the only one with access to these, right?

MethaneGas.8357:

People don’t realise that the enemy won’t be the only one using arrow carts. Some posts I read make me facepalm a million times over and over and over again. As if you won’t be the one that will ALSO have an arrow cart by your side.

And what’s even funnier is that people complain about zergs. Now something comes that will clear out zergs, and people complain about it.

Grow up and develop new strategies, it’s not the end of the world.

Yup, because I will totally let you build your offensive AC to reach my deffensive AC, right? And if the place you build your AC is in range more then 1 deffensive AC, you might be able to build one, but not shoot from it more then once. If once.

PinCushion.7390:

What did you expect?

Siege – noun, the act or process of surrounding and attacking a fortified place in such a way as to isolate it from help and supplies, for the purpose of lessening the resistance of the defenders and thereby making capture possible.

Hmm, good luck with such approach in any mmo in which people wants action. But maybe someone finds fun in three hours of trying to get 1 treb down and trying to prevent 10 people from entering what is sieged with supplies. Yup, so much epic fun.

+1. I know your pain, I really do.

It seems VS still doesnt get it.

The way you play is boring, you are boring, and noone wants to play with you. If there was a choice to choose your opponents or tier, VS would end up alone in T1. And you could dominate T1 until you got bored to death. People play games for fun, and they like good opposition, exciting fights etc. You dont provide anything like that. Thats why Deso nad SFR see no point in fighting you, because actually there is no fighting. Just boring ppt game. And if you hide behind “but this is how anet intends to play it” well, newsflash, you are the only one who likes it. So yeah, go play alone but dont bore other to death.

The situation in EU w3 is really funny at the moment.

It is like playgrounds where kids play together. But there is 1 kid, that no1 wants to play with, cause it is no fun. The 2 other kids r trying hard to get to other playground, but they cant. They could, if the kids from other playground would give them a hand. But those kids dont want play with that 1 kid too, so they do everything to not get to that playground.

So yeah, VS plays the game as Anet intends, which did lead to this situation. Must be tough to be the kid that no1 wants to play with.

Personally, I dont dislike SFR at all, I would rather they win then VIZ, cause I am sick of the way VIZ plays and wins. Although VIZ really made good steps towards open field fight etc. and they determination is something to fear.

We on DESO have high population server but that doesnt really count for wvwvw. Unless we are winning and then all pvers suddenly have the urge to join w3. So usually we try our best and fight with pride. But in the eyes of SFR they are the best and no1 is better and many of you on this forum bash everything about DESO, especially after you got kittened by free transfers. So yeah, that kitten es people off.

Still it would be nice if SFR could get back and keep VIZ in check so at least the score would be closer and 1 would feel at least bit excited for w3. Now it is just the same old VIZ PvDooring in action. Well, gl SFR.

He is the rumored 30/30/30/30/30 thief.

First of all, Deso wouldnt be at the top, although only for a one week, without Ruin. I dont care why they came here or why will they leave but give them credit for this. Iron and Ruin did carry this server to T1, and some bigger guilds helping a lot too. I am not saying that others didnt contribute, but you need some solid number of players to achieve something in W3.

Second Deso is nice server but we lack a backbone when things are not going our way. Our PvE base goes back to woods and without them we cant really compete. Not in T1. The W3 hardcore players stay but that is not enough, sadly.

Thirdly, it was french servers that effectively used nightcapping to gain bigger advantage and climb to a top. Thats why I dont really like you, although VS is really dedicated to W3 which I kinda unvoluntarily respect.

Fourth, what BT pulled was something amazing. I dont think any server can compete with them at this time at all. They have numbers and impressive tactics and coordination. And their time coverage is without competition. I think that russian guilds will get bored after while getting autowin every week and maybe they split to other server. Or something else will happen, because if they can achieve this performance on daily base, I dont see what could stop them, honestly.

GL HF see you on the battlefield.

I would like people to stop flaming RUIN already.

ANET is the one who made the rules. In their books best server is the one with biggest time coverage. With downed state and ressing you need zerg to be effective. Or loose to bigger zerg.

I am on Deso and I dont think we are the best PvPers or w3 server out there. We just have better coverage than current T1 servers. It doesnt make me proud or elite or anything.

Still the crying from servers that nightcapped their way to T1 is something I dont get. We did the same that you did, and without endangering our healthy night/day circles. I would understand for example SFR complaining, but you guys?

Anyway, will be interesting match up, lets see what will BT bring to the table and how much will it cost us.

I would really like some w3 rank progression. Even gear progression in form of like enchantments that would cause that if you had everything enchanted with tier 1 enchantments, your stats would be like 1-2% better then pure exotic. Some carrot on the stick and something that I could call character and equipment progression would be nice.

Well, I personally dont like tone or approach of some of our Deso posters here, towards our rivalling servers. They lack objectivity, maturity and respect. Please do not judge us all by this minority who needs to show their kitten prowess on the forums and likes to put others down so they can feel better about themselves.

It seems that RUIN is making great difference in our server strength, but I hope they will be not enough for us to reach to the top, cause it would be boring and kinda lame.

Have lot of fun everywhere I am fighting and some enemies are really skilled I give you that. Learned a lot lol.

Still I think that for both french servers would be more beneficial to join against us again, although there is no hope for you to get us from T1 this week. You should reconsider for next week for sure, cause our PvE base is miraculously beginning to take interest in W3 which means we are getting closer to 24\7 coverage which is not that good for you. Or me cause they create ques.

GL HF

Well, it is broken system so you go with it or leave it be. I blame Arenanet and yes, if u are dominating it is not that fun. Being dominated is even less fun. But it was not us players who set those conditions, lets hope that at least free server transfers will stop.

Well well, I am really curious how things will unfold lol.

I am on Desolation from beta, never was on any other server. This is my point of view so it might not be totally true.

In the begining where the matches were short we were doing well, we had a lot of pride and fighting spirit.

We were around the top and ques began to be a bit problem, but hey it wasnt that bad. Some W3 guilds left around that time. Since Deso is big server with quite low w3 population, it wasnt good, because we replaced organized part with more zerg.

Then came longer matches and nightcapping, we were fighting hard but after some time it was clear, that we cant make it. People got discouraged, moralle took a big hit, we started loosing and all the fair-waither bunch started to change servers.

So after some time we ended with instant access to EB in every second of the day. It wasnt because we lost that much of population overall, but we lost big part of our w3 population. I really respect people I was fighting with at that time, because those times were hard and we didnt give up.

So slowly we began to build our w3 community, getting more organized and doing things the right way. Around that time IRON decided to make some night forces so we didnt loose at night that hard, and funny thing was, that we began to gain lead thanks to night, although our primetime performance was not that good. Soon after IRON’s hard work began to bear fruits, RUIN decided to join us.

That kinda kittened us up ’cause three things did happen.
First, our primetime play stoped evolving thanks to easy winning through nightcapping, so there wasnt need for us to get better at primetime.
Second, all that fairweather PVE population started to join w3 cause we were winning. When the times were tough I knew I could trust people around me cause only real fighters stayed at that time. When we began to win and those fairweather people joined I noticed they die so friking fast. I was like wtf, wth you doing here?
Third, with RUIN we got some kind of reputation so some fairweather people came from other servers too.

Which directly leads to our poor primetime performance, especially in organisation and cooperation. All those people from Deso that boasts how our primetime is good, get reall. If we didnt had nightcrew, we would be loosing and would have outmaned buff probably in EB too (maybe IRON would not break under the nightshifts yet, so maybe not). We had good primetime forces, but I dont feel it is true right now. SFR, Blacktide and FS clearly showed us our weaknesses, and that is primetime performance.

I am not saying we dont know how to fight or that we dont put up good fight, but with are not ready for T1 with our primetime yet. I am really bothered by disrespect of some individuals towards our opponents that clearly are better at primetime then we are atm.

I remember the times when we all were pretty kitten off cause of nightcapping, we called it PvE or PvD and made fun of it. Now we do the same things others did to us. I am not okay with that but until ANET changes their policy, we cant do a kitten about it.

So I would really like all of us from Deso, that really care for w3, to see things as they really are. We need to get better organisation, communication and cooperation in our primetime or we will suffer and rightly so. My hope is, that we will learn from that and that we will get better. But in no way I feel that we are better server than for example FS, we just had been lucky with RUIN joining us.

Howgh

Downed state ruins any kind of hit and run strategy. Even if you kill some downed guys, in 5-6 seconds they are back again.

Downed state supports noobiness. If you run with zerg you dont ever need to look at combat log or use your brain because if you are downed, or even killed, it has no consequencies for the rest of the team, cause thay can easily revive or ress you.

It should be called zombie wars, cause it is possible to down and kill the same person 4x in prolonged fight. I mean wtf, zombie wars.

[quote=466182;Ralathar.7236:]

@Eisenhart: I think you probably dont know the situation I talk about. Yeah if your numbers are equall or there is not that big difference what you wrote is write. But if you are against some1 that has 2x or more numbers then you, they can easilly afford to play with you while others revive the fallen.

Yeah, Blacktide is very good and organized, if they had RUIN we would be left in the dust. Really this match is RUIN win generally, hats to IRON too. What we really lack is primetime presence which I dont understand because at least on EB we were strong at our prime time, but Blacktide really destroys us there. They have organised guilds and it shows. I think the rest of Deso has to step up their game if we want to match RUIN and IRON level of play.

I wonder how many W3 kills have those who wrote they like downed state.

Downed state in W3 is simply terrible.

It supports zerg. It makes fights smaller group vs. zerg meaningles.
It makes tactics and small skirmishes obsolete because you cant achieve anything unless you kill zerg completely, no slowly reducing their numbers until you can take them head on, because their number stay the same. At best you can slow them, but given the risk and reward, it is simply not worth it.

It supports mindless fighting. Hey guys I am downed again, yeah lol, dunno whatever happened hehe, can you revive me? Thanks <3

It supports suiciding if you are in zerg, because you can just run forward, let yourself be killed, and by that you effectively blowed other side cooldowns and now the rest of zerg can proceed to kitten them, and you will be back on your feet in 3 seconds anyway so…

Whatever, those who cheat should be banned. Still we getting our butt kicked pretty hard right now. Dunno whats going on, it is like every second you need to defend 3 objectives at once. GJ BlackTide and Augury you really showing your worth right now.

I hope we get some coordination or at least PVE players stay in PVE areas…

Well, it would be good for deso if RUIN came a bit later, we would get our core and kitten together even more. Now we get lot of ppl who joins server just because it is winning. But it is not RUIN fault. I was on deso on beta and deso is the only server I ever was on in GW2. And I was slowly recognizing some good players and commanders. Now it seeems we have many ppl I have never seen before. Well, I blame A-net and their W3 system.

In w3 downed state just supports zerg running, nothing else. I really hate it. It makes small group vs bigger groups fights completely meaningless.

It is kinda pointless to argue about how it would be without SFR sitting on Kodash and Invisible bug.

It is true that we cant compete yet with servers like Kodash or SFR yet. We had zerg before and now the zerg went to join winning servers again. We are still pretty disorganized, except few guilds that try to change that. Kudos to IRON for their work. But I think that we are getting in shape, slowly but surely and at least individual guilds are getting better. Dunno how much time we will need to get really organized, cause there is still lot of zerg or just nabs among us.

I really dislike some SFRs mentality, as if they were gods of PvP. Lets hope we will meet again, I would really like to show you that not all Deso is easy going as the zerg you usually meet.

So if I use sigil that gives +5% dmg on my off-hand, does it increase the dmg only of skills 4-5? Doesnt make sense to me

So 2x superior sigil of accuracy gives 10% to crit?

on main hand and offhand = +10% crit chance or +5% crit chance?

Any1 knows?

I tried to go with condition dmg, but with so many cleansing utilities it didnt work that well. I cant stand in middle of fight no matter how defensively I am build. So wtf should I do? Right…

Well we will hit bottom with desolation for sure, all maps are instant access now, maybe EB has 2 minutes or something. As we started to loose, many transfered to greener pastures. I hoped that this match we would rally but nope. I play on EB mainly and I dont even see people I usually ran with anymore. And we are getting our butt so seriously kicked And there is absolutely no command in EB.

Still it is nice that Kodash is there, I like some not stressfull PvP, unlike Seafarers, they are hard and organized. Shame on you

I ran pure berserker backstab build in WvWvW.

Thing is, I could down 99% of any player even in zerg mass. The 1% was occasional guardian bunker type.

Problem is, you are so squishy that sometimes you cant even finish player you just downed.

Then there are those that randomly or skillfully use dodge when you steal to them, which completely negates your burst and you have to get to kitten off asap. In situation when there are 2 of them, you can down 1, but the other will kill you if he is semicompetent. Oh, and any thief that survives your burst one way or other, will completely kitten you for good, and if he gets jump on you you are goner.

In zerg versus zerg your range with SB puts you in front, and believe me, thats not where you wanna be. Sometimes I get killed so fast I dont even know what hit me.

If there was no downed state in WvWvW I would be OK with this build, but thnx to downed state your every 45s burst is often made useless.

It is high risk high reward build that shines in 1v1 or small group engagements, where you have some backup, + Cluster bomb is grest for sieges and you will do ton of dmg with it. Never forget though, you are like glass, and many times you will break before you even get a chance to react.

Ilesyt.7084:

I have to occasionly stop for them to catch up to me. If got zephyr’s boon and elemental shielding. Aura’s give me swiftness, fury and protection. So if they DO come close you can just do Frost aura or shocking aura, which will shock them for a second or chill them, slowing them down. Not even a thief can catch up to you or kill you.

You just didnt met rightly specced thief yet.

I play thief glass-cannon backstab build and usually I can down some1 quickly even in group but I cant finish him off which kinda makes my whole ballet rather pointless. Still you can roam EB and u can have many 1v1 1v2 or small scale PvPs very often there. I like small scale PvPs. To me it is more fun then running with the horde, although defending or assaulting SM lord room is fun on its own.

Last match we (Desolation) most probably won thanks to nightcapping, this match we will loose thanks to night capping.

The problem with nightcapping is that you can play whole kittening day as good as you can, using food and nourishment, then you go to sleep, you wake up, and you see you have 17k points of deficit or profit. It sucks both ways, cause it is clear that your actions doesnt matter at all.

Yeah, I have fun doing WvWvW PvP but now that I have 7k kills on my hero, I would like some aditional incentive to play WvWvW, like my server needs me, I do matter, which is not the case. So right now I can go in and kill things but it kinda feels pointless. No thrill, no urge, so I make my daily and off we go to sPvP.

I would like to have “fair” battle with other servers, but with nightcapping I dont see it as fair or do I feel like I matter. If there were aditional statistic I could at least, you know, compare my e – peen with others from my or other servers, but I cant do even that.

I think many people feel the similar way, would be funny if in the end only the nightcappers would play, and they would eventually stop too because PvDoors would get old too and noone would give a kitten anyway…

And it is worse when a lot of action is going on…
Which means PvP and some PvE events are really painfull…

Derebe.4567:

This problem started for me a few days ago. Right click to rotate the camera doesn’t work about 1 in 5 tries, making pvp pretty impossible. One guildmate has changed mouses due to the same issue, another is reporting the same thing. I have a Logitech G700, this is also occurring with Razers. Has nothing to do with where you click on the screen.

Well I have the same problem, very often the game doesnt register my mouse click so the camera wont turn and my character is not going where I want, which is pretty frustrating especially in PvP.
