Guild Wars 2

Sorry, although im not a fan of blobbing, it’s really funny that you ignore the fakt that you have another 15 ppl on the left and 10 more at the 2nd commander behind you. So numbers were almost even ;-D

The fastest is imo by far a condition-thief. 2 Pulls (~5-6 each) and you need about 30 sec for each group. Really simple with a lot of heal and massiv bleeding [caltrops(skill+dodge), clusterbomb spam]. Should be possible in less than 1 min.

Rizach.4852:

Can’t beat them 3vs1. Let’s beat them AC style, 1 ac per 20 meters guys!

I loled a lot.
Who started building Ac’s? Right, you guys. You had 2 trebs on the tower and another treb + 2 ac’s 20 meters behind the ac in the pic. So what?
Is it our fault that you are not able to protect your trebs vs. 3ppl attacking them with range attacks?

Feel sorry for the servers that will be up against Abbadons and Riverside in the future. The most boring servers to fight against. This week must be one of the sadest ever. Chickens is the best name for them. Cant fight if they arent going in zergs with 50+. Gone be so nice to go down a teir and have some nice fights with some skill involved and not just run around and press the number 1 skill.

Yea, thats why aaaall of your guilds respond instantly when you ask them in this thread and via pm if they are up for some GvG, or roamin in the same area. sarcasm off ;-)

Still had some nice fights vs. Vs Ganda and Aba tonight!

We had some good fights against you (i think it was you on gandara bl?) until you decided to sit 5 feet away from every other riverside guild in the bl.
Understandable because AM’s numbers were completely stupid but you didn’t help matters running in a … whatever numbers you had (way too many to deserve a shred of respect). I’ll make a point to ask you not to be such lame cowards tomorrow if that helps, dont know why its necessary though.

Go to just about any bl and you’ll run into a gandaran guild or two, we dont sit on top of each other and hide in an 80man blob the second things aren’t going our way though.

Don’t get me wrong. It was nerver my intention to say that you guys are cowards, because no one responds to my GvG invitation.
As some ppl. already tried to explain, the situation is not that easy on RS. We don’t seperate all the randoms, and the different guilds from each other. We still do teamwork! Even our (guild)-commander leads the random Zerg quite often, and we help other guilds on the borderlands. Communication via TS between our guilds is important for us.
Yes, we do have a huge Zerg sometimes, but it’s not our fault, that RS is still a PvE server with a huge population. These people join WvW in the primetime and follow 1! commander. We don’t have always several commanders for every Boderland, to create smaller groups. We have to deal with this.
I just want to point out, that guilds like [dw], [DTK] and [IF] are probably always up for some open field fighting, you can read several offers in this Thread (and in your inbox). It’s just not that easy to get rid all of the randoms and leave them without any commander on the map, so we can join a “fair” fight. Thats imo the main reason why we specifically ask! you guys, to make sure that we are able to join the fight, without leaving a whole boderland without any commander.

On that note, actually more fun than I thought. Riverside were awesome tonight, really open field.. such a change, was awesome. Had to tag team with XxX a lot for the necessary numbers but overall the fights were epic, albeit FPS damaging

Ragnar.4257:

Great fights with RS tonight in AM borders with [ZORN], [IF] and [MSNG], especially around the south towers and northeast camp. It was quite a shock to find RS roaming out in the open, and you made us work hard! Has given me some optimism that this match-up might not be totally boring, so thank you
GLHF to RS.
Blob harder to AM.

We had some rly nice battles vs. XxX and Dius – finally! Although there was some skillags when Gand. and Rs Guildraids teamed up fore the fights around the towers, we had fun. If you guys are interested in some GvG, pm me :-)

Digs.8435:

LOL. It makes no difference if you lower the dmg against other siege when you cannot operate said siege because of AC dmg. What a joke. Many developers make the mistake of pushing players too hard in a direction they feel is where the game should be heading. Just gonna keep losing WvW players with this kitten.

Press 1. Leave the ram. Someone else takes the ram. Profit.

KuroNeko.7138:

Remove AoE 5 ppl capped then you wont see zerg anymore

This would be the worst thing that could possibly happen to WvW.

loseros.5912:

Lol a post of mine has been removed :s looks like it was offensive to call someone true german and bunker builder :S

I haven’t logged in yet today. Still that keep in bb bl is from rs?

Yea, unfortunately it was deleted, altough its was funny imo.

We had some good fights at BB gari, but as always no one was there to take care of the siege at the morning time, and so we lost the it at 10 am after ~ 32h.
We have always hoped we will loose it in a big battle against 20 Golems :-(

loseros.5912:

Just trying to understand your big huge population increase. Ppl don’t believe it’s only PvE pop playing WvW and think guilds have moved to RS.

But its true. As i said before, i think a lot ppl are joining WvW because the score is good, and there is a slight chance that we will move up to the 3rd bracket. No one knows if we still have that much ppl when the times are getting harder.

I think a lot of ppl should calm down. This is just a game although many ppl put a lot of effort in their Servers. So plz don’t take rageposts too serious!
I also think we should get over the “teamup” at the last reset and keep havin good fights. Furthermore we should not blame a whole Server for some stupid hackers!

Na, we had no guild migration to RS!
But we got some PvE players into WvW and doin a lot of action. I also think we had some tactical improvements, but as you guys know if the score is good it sometimes runs by itself

oh no thieves will need to run builds other than glasscanonbackstabmash2instawin!

there i fixed your post for you. thieves are bar none the most poorly balanced class i have ever seen a mmo. i don’t even understand how 1 class could end up so OP.

Sure… cuz gc-backstab is soo op…
Imo the main issue is that ppl can’t play their class, and and don’t know how to handle a thief right. As i said, i play different classes. Btw. a glass thief is one of the easy kills, cuz most of them ar poorly played and they die too fast.

Distaste.4801:

The only playstyles it destroys are the ones that constantly spammed C&D to stay in stealth. So if you liked just C&D->C&D->C&D then yeah, your going to have to actually learn to play the class. Most thieves though won’t have issues because they would actually use other skills besides C&D. The rest of the playstyles are pretty much untouched since they either already deal with reveal or don’t stealth enough for the reveal to be an issue.

This change is pretty much near perfect. It removes the thieves ability to permastealth, which they obviously didn’t want happening, but doesn’t impact any of the legit playstyles in any meaningful way. All the skill-less permastealth thieves will have to either learn the class as well as get some survival stats, or they will reroll to whatever class is next on the bandwagon list.

So, i have to say, that i dont have a sPvP background. I mostly play WvW.
A gc thief is anyway the dumbest thing you can do, there are fare better ways to play a backstab thief. Imo there are not that much legit playstyles as a thief, who are not based on stealth.

The problem is see, is the lack of possibilitys to avoid damage & CC. Sure, reveal is “just” 3 seconds, but what else do you have as a thief, than just stealth, blind(which is automatically nerfed too) and movementskills? Support is still close to zero and singetarget-damage without backstab far from beeing great, compared to other classes. Without stealth, you loose the biggest part of your defence.

I also disagree in the “less-skilled permastealth”- thief part. Imo the differece between great and poorly played bs-thieves, has always been the positionplay. To know the right time and target to open with a backstab, do some damage and reposition after.
Sounds easy, but i have seen a lot of poorly played thieves.

I know, even the backstab thief is not dead with those changes, but just don’t like “pure” nerfes without bringing up new possibilitys.

I play many different chars – the Thief is one of them.
Imo just nerfing stealth is not that easy, because it changes alot. The playstyle is totally “destoyed”. You have no chance to reposition and barley no CC to compensate missing stealth.

I understand, that many ppl want a change. But just put “autoreveal” on every player that used stealth, even without attacking goes too far.
To solve this problem, they could remove the “blind after stealth”-Trait and put a small reveal, like 1 sec on players after stealth fades away without any attack. So permanent stealth/blind will be impossible, but stealth would be still usefull.
