Guild Wars 2

Second this. The graphic for the field appears to be smaller than it actually is. Seems it was bugged in a recent patch.

I’m pretty sure Kathy K was banned.

Tarkus.4109:

What the hell happened to the doors in EB, all of the doors on the blue side of the map give a visual effect of rocks being propelled throughout the gate. A bug report was submitted by a few of us, but just going to throw up a couple of SC’s to show how absurd it was.

I’ve noticed it a few times specifically at hills in DB BL. Not sure what causes it but it was rather amusing until a horde of extremely angry SoR started streaming out of it.

Anecdotal Evidence: The Thread

Eviator.9746:

I could swear I read this entire conversation on one of last week’s T1 threads. Right?

You’ll read it in next week’s thread too.

Agiku.1276:

Well.. this is pretty awkward lol. This thread is full of hatred between SoR and BG.. does this happens every weekend?

Every week that we’ve been together since November, yes. I think the first week actually went relatively well for a few days but it deteriorated rather rapidly.

@SleepingDragon

Yes they do, as do we on every map that MERC isn’t on during Oceanic, yesterday we were “Outnumbered” on BG BL with MERC on map till SoR’s NA logged out.

They are ticking 300 because they’ve logged from EU to NA held their T3 objectives meaning they can go on the offensive. It stays at 300 ppt because HiRE, TW et al can waypoint into a t3 keep or continue to push a map zerg onto our paper keeps in our home bl / 1/2 offensive bls (usually) that is why it stays at 300 ppt, numbers isn’t everything in WvW, SoR can survive its apparently “weak” timezones due to having t3 with map zergs inside, but if you look at ppt today for example, SoR’s NA pushed into oceanic and held 300-400 ppt. SEA rocks round we flip all their wps and bring them down to 95 ppt but that doesn’t last long as we spent all sea getting them there then bang, EU hits our SEA logs out SoR’s ppt goes back to 250+ and BG+JQ do not have the forces to keep pressure up that SoR has through KISS, IRON, LUN, TW and their massive EST NA presence so that our BG PST logs in after 4-6 hours of SoR being able to t3 their bl and thirds ready for NA.

Also our NA fights bloody hard anyone calling them weak, I’d love to see you push back from SoR’s EU/EST domination on days that HB/RK do not raid, SoR can’t deny that from EST NA they have all their maps covered. BT is our only 100% EST NA guild.

SoR’s just jelly cuz MERC isn’t on their server :P

But they do have the new and improved TW! Playing EU, NA, and Oceanic with map zergs in each one! Haha! Hehe. Hoohoo…

gg

TW oceanic? What?

Have you not been informed of your guild having a commander staying up into oceanic? What?

How about starting in EU?

What.

I’m pretty sure you’re talking to the commander who is usually staying up into oceanic.

morrolan.9608:

Vash.9183:

So, BG SEA is “so stacked” yet BG’s ppt just went lower in this late EU timezone than SoR’s did during SEA. It is time to stop being so sensitive.

You should realise that any comments are simply in response to the trolling from certain BG players in previous weeks and the hypocrisy displayed.

Which was trolling from certain SoR players in previous months and the hypocrisy displayed. Which was trolling from blah blah blah. These forums are an endless cycle, you’ll go mad trying to find who started what.

Yes i understand what they did with the pots. But saying that you want to keep tighter trains means your MA should only have to use. not your entire group., only reason you are using them now is for the distinct visual advantage that it creates for some people not being able to see what class you are. I agree with why you have to use them,

Also that was the first gvg you had with choo. we have had a prior GvG so assuming rules would have stayed the same. (on a side note why did you request no banners from warrior? its a class ability, not that we would need one i was just curious as to why lol)

The war banners was an obvious troll.
Our casters don’t use Ghost tonic. It’s impossible, it comes off during combat. Everyone knows this.
Also asurians are also the hardest class too telegraph skills with as of their size. Which is why most spvpers are using an asurian model, because you can’t see what skills they’re casting clearly.

I guess there is only 1 way to tell the differance from a class….asurian or norn, it isnt that hard. Even with the pots its not hard for me, but for others it could create confusion.

No matter the case, if you feel your group needs to use pots to create some sort of cosmic connection between melee train and MA, more power too you guys and good luck. It was unfortunate that we were not able to meet in the middle to make this happen. Hopefully, calmer heads will prevale next time and we can meet and maybe we can get this settled on the gvg field.

After watching the video, yes, the visual advantage is apparent.

Wearing a tonic skin is like wearing the same coloured jersey on a soccer field – easy identification. While the others are wearing a mish mash of colours, prone to confusing themselves even.

In GvG terms, it translates into the ease of consolidating your team members, and differentiating who are your enemies. Perhaps as people earlier stated, masking the class of the person?

The AC mage tonic looks visually striking so it is vastly easier to spot your team mates to squeeze a tight train.

For fairness, either have everyone use tonics, or strike it off completely.

^ Its unfair to your opponents, [Agg]. Its like you’re using an “exploit” to gain an advantage over your enemies.

Forgive me if I’m wrong here but doesn’t everyone have access to the tonic? Isn’t it just as ridiculous to say food is an unfair advantage?

Yes, actually. But food buffs are extremely common with those guilds who do GvGs, so its pretty much understood by all guilds who GvG that food buffs are permitted. These tonics though, are pretty rarely used by guilds that GvG, other than RG and other guilds who want to be like RG.

Yes, food buffs are normal now, but that wasn’t always the case. The bonuses they provide are a huge boon when used well. Most guilds realized this and these days it’s commonplace. I don’t see how the ascalonian tonic is any different.

Not wanting to use it yourself for your own reasons is fine and all, but you will be at a significant disadvantage for doing so; just as if you decided not to use food. Asking your opposing team to do the same however is, in my opinion, unreasonable.

Its similar to Eyefinity. Some people don’t like using Eyefinity and have multiple screens. Why did so many people complain about Eyefinity usage from others then? Can’t they get Eyefinity themselves? It really depends on how common it is. By your logic, people who use Eyefinity to gain a larger advantage should be completely fine then.

The difference being that where one is available to anyone who owns the game, the other has external requirements. A three monitor setup and the hardware to run it isn’t something that everyone can afford, whereas there isn’t anything stopping TW from running the potion themselves other than the fact that they prefer not to.

It would be a better comparison if the tonic was for example a gem store item, in which case I would understand. Regardless, I’m just an unrelated third party here and my opinion doesn’t mean much. Hopefully the two can sort out the issue and have a rematch.

In my opinion, guardians are probably the choice overall for commanding whether it be with a guild or pugs. Some guilds use one commander for melee and one for ranged, in which case a ranged commander should probably be a necromancer.

Asking players and guilds to leave the server they have been on since launch; leave their friends and the people they enjoy playing with, for some vague sense of balance is unreasonable. Player created solutions to population issues have failed time and time again over the past ten months.

It’s simply unrealistic to assume that asking servers to “shed” vital members of their community won’t simply result in the creation of another stacked server coming out on top, as has happened in the past.

CA VK VT MEOW AOI VI AGG FOE and RISE are just a few that you forgot to count, and that’s just the ones that i can think of off the top of my head.

AGG & Remnants of FOE are in JQ, Meow & CA united into 1.

VK? VT? VI??? Making up guilds now I see :P

Ignoring small sized guilds named VK, VT and VI on BG? Now I see, BG just trashtalks their own small wvw guilds and pretend they don’t exists. No wonder why they only travel in groups of 50 minimum.

I personally haven’t seen them, but I would very much love to meet them

Vindico Knights didn’t ended up transferring here as far as I know. I think a number of their members are now in AGG.

Violent Impact did exist but I haven’t seen them active in some time.

I’m not familiar with VT, it’s possible he’s confused them with VP, Venator Phalanx who transferred down to the lower tiers in search of the small scale fights that tier one couldn’t provide.

Should I repost this in the bug section or is it a known issue? I’ve never heard of this not working correctly, although I don’t frequent this board all that much.

I’ve noticed recently that it seems like the effective range on the rifle is less than it was previously. As you can see in the picture, my tool bar says that I’m in range (red lines below skills indicate out of range) yet none of my projectiles hit.

Has anyone else noticed this?

SykkoB.9465:

tbh jq has a reason to be a little kitten y about us getting another eu guild. BG tho shouldnt speak they have had the largest oceanic and sea for awhile and still recruit for that time slot they r no better then anyone

either way great fight keep them coming love u all

JQ having the coverage they need (particularly Euro) to keep the scores close benefits all of us. People come out to play the most when there’s something to fight for.

Last week proved that with some of the best fights all around in months. If that’s not your goal, thats fine and all, but don’t be surprised if people are upset that there won’t be as many close matches.

Well then, this thread went to kitten quickly. We were doing so well guys! Something like ten whole pages. Probably a record.

I’m noticing a decline in normal attendance this week from SoR. I could list a bunch of excuses as to why that is but I’m sure that is the case on the other servers as well. BG just seems to want to win this week so GG BG on your victory this week you guys really earned it this time.

Its not over until reset

Ya I know that bro but I’m calling it now. I personally don’t care If we win or lose I’m in it for the fights, most of rallians share that sentiment. Welp back to getting 1g per dungeon complement.

Not going to get any fights bro if you don’t show up…just saying.

It’s not over till it’s over.

Nah. The real fight is in the Aetherblade Retreat. I’ve died more times there in the last two days than the last two weeks of WvW.

I was like:

“Guardian… Die… PvE… Does. Not. Compute.”

Have RG moved back, then? I swore I saw a group just this morning. Or was that their last night in NA?

They still have a GvG with IRON before they move back.

Good fights tonight, try to keep it clean.

What are you people even arguing about anymore. Go play the game.

When BG is behind: OMG BG TEARS LOL
When BG is ahead: OMG you eat whole servers that’s why you win!

Pretty much this. I liked last week’s matchup though, that was one of the few where we catch JQ with their pants down and no server to latch their maws onto for a 2v1 week. Just look at the current score, SoR is the real monster here and the reason why JQ is ahead. Catch them alone with a server they haven’t met yet and they’re pretty much meat.

I want more of those just BG vs JQ. Or better yet just a World vs World match with the two of us and that’s it, no third server. No more bragging rights while holding onto Daddy SoR’s hands.

You kinda got it wrong.

When BG is behind: OMG Losing even after eating so many guilds! Such a Blackhole!
When BG is ahead: OMG Non-stop eating of guilds!

You guys need to stop chest thumping when its obvious that JQ doesn’t have the wvw population to match up against BG after all your guild eating binge drive.

And when you feel a possibility of losing, the whiners of your server start crying about 2v1s and self-conceived piggyback servers.

Stay Crass BG.

Its people like Tarkus that stop my opinion of your server from hitting rock bottom.
Learn from him.

I’m confused. Which server are you from? Believe me, I have my beef with JQ and BG due to most of my WvW matches being against/with them, but JQ doesn’t whine nearly as much as BG does. The main thing being 2v1s which you say JQ complains about. I’ve never seen them complain about 2v1 compared to how much Blackgate does, who has absolutely no issue with siding with JQ and double teaming SoR, who welcomes the challenge.

It may not have been a competition last week, but I’m already missing the class of TC, and how much fight they actually put out.

Blackgate – where hypocrites go to kill their guilds.

To answer your question, he’s on SoR.

Nothing surprises me anymore, but this is extremely unlikely I would say.

Nope, they’re definitely here.

Jahn.7019:

Any interest in transfers should have been sent to JQ. I know for a fact that anyone that Indo talks to , he recommends to them JQ or BG telling them that SoR isn’t in a position of accepting transfers for the health of the tier.

I think JQ is good in the SEA department, that being the timeslot XF plays in.

I think MERC is one of the only guilds left who do /laugh after taking a keep. Every single time they’ve managed to take a keep or tower, my chat is polluted with “Blackgate Soldier laughs with you” blah blah blah. It could be the pugs following you guys, I’m not sure, but honest to god, it’s such a bad look when it happens. Now, I’m not sure if you’ve had it done to you by other guilds or zergs or what not, but yeah, if I may take an exert from your own recruitment form:

+ …how we conduct ourselves off the battlefield is very important.

+ Respectful to our guild members, server allies and even rival opponents.

Now, I’m not sure if this is something encouraged by your commanders, or something the odd member does. You could blame it on the pugs but I haven’t experienced this with any other BG guild or pug zerg. But yeah, I know you guys have that reputation of being trolly from your original GM, Jedas. But just letting you know how freaking petty this /laugh stuff is. lol.

that wasn’t merc

So it’s the same group of pugs who follow you guys around everyday, or?… lol

Yes actually, there are many people who run with Merc every night, as militia often flock to the largest organized force in off peak timeslots.

BG (Stole this list from Jahn) RESO (?-?)

I’m surprised nobody asked who RESO actually is? I’ve never heard of any guild of that name on our server. We do have a [Res], for Resonance, but they’re Oceanic.

Anyways, I can confirm RIOT’s statement. If you don’t see the rest of them, you’ve already lost.

So basically, you confirmed what I stated. Whatever TS you were using before = too small. Got it, nice attempt at flamebait. if your old ts was truly capped at 512 and always capped out on reset + highly used throughout the week, then yes, it’d be ranked, the sites aren’t biased.

Our old server isn’t listed on that website.

Then you guys are either lying or high off your minds. If you don’t mind me asking, what the address of your old ts. It won’t take me long to figure out the truth.

I’m not sure if it’s my place to say, as it is now being used privately by one of our current guilds. I have to assume that they don’t want random people in their TS as much as you don’t want cuddles and killer in yours.

Masamoon.3864:

Masamoon.3864:

And i’m not even talking about reset night. If you guys were actually 512 and capped on reset, then it’d obviously be ranked…and you wouldn’t complain that our NA is stacked. 512 capped = more than SoR’s TS on reset.

Our old server doesn’t seem to be listed on that website, and I’m not the one making the TS size = NA population argument, you’ll have to refer to killer for that. I’m just clarifying.

Masamoon.3864:

Then why did some guilds need to use their own TS and say they couldn’t fit their people into the old community one? does not compute

Because we regularly reached the cap on our old teamspeak on reset nights? Without those guilds that used their own. Did you misread me? Some guilds also have a private TS out of personal preference.

Masamoon.3864:

Fun fact, your old TS was capped so small that guilds were forced to use their own for the most part due to the fact they couldn’t fit their players into it. Now you have a bigger ts, eventually you will get ranked worldwide/us since the cap is much larger now. Reasons why your old TS hasn’t been ranked. Or it could be just the fact people don’t use it much.

Well if the info on that teamspeak server list website is correct, our old teamspeak was the same size as your current; 512 slots. Obviously we now have a larger cap because we regularly reached that 512 limit on reset nights.

Kingzook.1620:

As much as i would like to see that, the only problem i could see any NA guild transferring to a EU server would be communication. EU languages varies from area to area and i would not expect everyone to know English. Some servers might have a decent base of English knowing players but i could also see how some might not. Considering this game is about socializing in the end, if [RE] would go to an EU server, i recommend they research each server indept

I would imagine that, unless they go to one of the specific German/French/Spanish servers, the language barrier wouldn’t be much more of an issue than on any of the NA servers with a strong asian presence. Read: not that big of a problem. You’d be surprised at how many people know english, or at least enough of it for basic communication. I agree on the thorough research bit though, EU server or not.

Now JQ also cannot drop siege in EB……so whats going on?

Blackgate has been having siege issues in EB also. I wouldn’t be surprise if whatever they did to change the siege timers also messed up the siege caps as well.

Want to thank Riot, ND and Pro for the GvGs all night. We won 5 out of 6. You guys got lucky with the last one. Out numbered us 3 to 1. but was a good fight. Glad to see other active guilds.

I’m a bit puzzled by this part?

Zagan.5287:

coz BG doesn’t belong in this tier, i rather fight a server who gives up a fight and don’t give up. I’m talking about SoR – JQ – Dragonbrand matchup can’t wait to stomp some Red Essence face

Good luck with that one.

Also, do you want us to give up or not?

gebrechen.5643:

Bad decisions lead to bad positions.

Like working 2 weeks for 16h per day into NA time as a sea guild just to be number 1 for one or two times. is a real bad decision.

I suppose that’s a matter of opinion. Many people enjoy winning and are willing to put in the work necessary to do so. And if that first seat position isn’t sustainable then it isn’t sustainable. Now we have the opportunity to put in our all at another time.

For many, there is little fun in sitting in the same place forever, if you don’t dare to risk anything to achieve it. It’s a difference in mentalities between players, and no one approach can necessarily be the best.

We’re all stuck here in tier one, yes regardless of what dragonbrand does for some time, we’re stuck here. Why not shake things up a little?

Ascii.9726:

pot.6805:

T1 score differentials are going to be the worst we’ve seen in months. Such a shame that we are regressing in terms of balance.

I still dont get it. BG had no issues or worries about ‘balance’ when they recieved pretty much every major guild from KN and was ticking 400+ pretty much perm.

Now SoR received 1 euro guild and have good fortune in regards to playing smart and the enemy playing sloppy its suddenly a broken T1 that’s unbalanced and will be for months.

BG and JQ have more players on there servers then SoR, even right now at midday UK time. IRON’s 100 people transferring over wasn’t enough to push our status from Very High to Full so the gap between them 2 ratings must be a large.
__________________________________________________________________

You need to motivate your servers community to get into WvW. SoR has an amazing community and we assign every guild we know off to a borderland at reset night (apart from Ace he solos SoR-BL for us).
__________________________________________________________________

Before any more people jump on pots post, the “regression in balance” this week, has more to do with the complete lack of a third server in this matchup than anything.

JQ….why do you put arrow carts in the middle of zerg v zerg fights? Thought T1 was suppose to be this awesome zerg v zerg competition but as I command for RISE I can’t help but notice the disorganization from JQ and some SoR zergs. JQ’s logic – put arrow carts in the middle of fights because our skill isn’t enough, scatter everywhere to make us look like a bigger zerg, run away. I’m noticing SoR getting better with their organization so brownie points for you guys, but man was I disappointed at the competition when we xferred to BG.

lol, 10/10! I’m glad a no name guild can judge T1 realms after just transferring to a T1 server.

This “no name guild” is running through every zerg that comes across us. Ask TYSM, TW, FEAR, and SF.

LOL

LOL

LOL

Seriously, i laughed so hard when I read that that I flashed back to the worst portal bomb I’ve ever seen someone pull on another force that you guys gave us the other night. I’ve never seen an entire maps force inside a single static field before but Rise managed to pull it off!

That’s weird…because I don’t do portal bombs…..must be talking about TW.

Give it a rest man, you’re drowning yourself here, and you’re not doing your guild any favors either.

Kaimick.5109:

Which brings me to a question.

Can anyone tell me or point me in the direction of the build that allows a warrior to jump further than normal, fall from hieghts that kill others but do less than 10% of his health and has an Infinite amount of time on their swiftness? They were using teh GS/ Sword/ Shield and something about speed runes

As far as jumping, sword leap number two can handle that. Ten points in strength allows you to take death from above, which reduces greatly fall damage and gives you a 360 degree knockback where you land. A combination of swiftness runes and boon duration, or a warhorn allows a warrior to easily achieve permanent swiftness.

I think the proposed idea would be to spread out the guilds in the interest of better fights rather than put them in one server for PPT. If thats the case, and the logistics can get sorted out, I think I know some people that might be interested in joining in.

This thread seems to have gotten pretty off topic, and there’s no real reason to try and put it back on track. Should probably just lock it, if only to stop more rumors circulating about guilds completely unrelated to EMP/Red Essence.

Good luck to RE, have fun in the happy lands of tier 2.

It’s partly a human nature thing. If zerging wasn’t fun for a lot of people, there wouldn’t have been all the wars where masses of humans “won” simply with overwhelming numbers (huns, romans, americans…..).

WvWvW is meant to be a massive war game. Massive armies crashing into each other, that was the plan. “Zerging” is actually what this game mode was MEANT to be. That doesn’t mean there is no room for small groups and roamers to have fun, it just means we’re roaming in a “zerging” game.

The WXP patch seems to have encouraged zergs, but also it seems to have brought lots of new people into WvWvW. It might not be my favorite way to play, but it’s also not really my place to say that no one should do it if they enjoy it (which, obvoiusly, they do).

this is all good, but irrelevant, u missed the point.

which is, BLOBS. zergs arent the problem, but BLOBS are.
ie: blob is when everyone hugs each other and all you see is letters.

I fail to see your point in the difference between blobs and zergs, in many tiers they are the same thing. When every “zerg” is a 50 man group where everyone hugs each other and all you see are letters.

As thrasbarg said the game is designed for zergs, and while the practice of zerging could be changed, you seem to be of a mind that zerging is fine. How do you intend to discourage the so called “blob”, and not the zerg.

I’d just like to let people note who are writing off DB, they are likely to go to T2 soon. Their SEA coverage is beastly for a lower tier server and I think that with EMP they can take out FA pretty handily.
The new and improved TC might be a challenge for them, but the T1 egos should hop in the way back machine and remember the epic amount of condescending chatter that was pointed at SoS and SoR before they came to T1. T2 is not full of also rans, they are patiently building up and have a fire lit under them.

Personally I’m looking forward to the T3 rematch of SoS, SBI, and JQ sometime this fall.

I would be curious to see how our Sea fairs against a JQ’s in the numbers game.

No offense to DB and all, but it probably wouldn’t end too well for you guys.

Why are they even playing boring WvW if they have played tPvP?

A lot of people prefer the open roaming of WvW, where you can play with all 5 members of your team in the same place, to the repetetive conquest game mode in tPvP, where you are forced to go solo or teams of two and sometimes three.

And of course theres the larger variety of terrain, more build customization etc.

Everyone is saying to the guy responding to them, that what he said is indeed not what they’re actually saying, and then going on to say the exact same thing again.

I can’t keep any of this straight!
