Guild Wars 2

Got back in, was fighting in SM, DC’d again 5 minutes later. Hearing that from a lot of people as well.

At least 100+ people either DC’d while loading after reset, or DC’d a few minutes after zoning in.

The easy solution is for ANet to give every class a mechanic that’s equally frustrating to Thieves. Then we can all go around trolling and griefing each other.

Hi, my name is Chuck Chuck Bobuck, and I’m a Rocket Boots addict. I’m running a SD build, but I just can’t let go of Rocket Boots. It’s insanely useful in chasing down people, escaping zergs, making previously impossible jumps (not griefing in the JP, just other stuff on maps), etc.

I played grenades / condition damage for the longest time, and this is a refreshing change. Lots of fun.

Guildie of mine is running a SD build while using Tool Kit, Personal Battering Ram, and Rocket Boots in WvW. Said he’s having a blast chasing down people.

Jigain.8231:

Heh, yeah. I’ll be honest, when I’m running with the other ‘lings with my toolkit build, I try to save the pull for when the enemy ’lings are on the run. I don’t know why, but there’s some sadistic pleasure involved in just seeing an enemy launching backwards and finding himself surrounded by enemies.

And of course, my build-independent favorite move is the shield #4 ability while on a cliff and engaging a hostile zerg. I can’t pass up the opportunity to insta-kill over 40 enemies with one ability.

But yeah, toolkit is amazing.

Right with you on that. I’ll use Magnet to pull someone in, run past them, lob some ’nades behind me, and let the zorgy tear him to pieces.

I recently started running Koroshi’s build, which is fun so far:

Here’s a Reddit discussion on various WvW Engineer builds, if any of you are interested:

Previews. Previews. Previews.

This double team of our EB keep is facepalm worthy. Any day now, gents.

Dragons feel that Thieves are way too OP in WvW. Pass.

Thiefz.3695:

Have we really seen what this summer is going to bring to the people who play from school and what that will do to coverage during normal EST days?

School? Speak for yourself, youngin’.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE that a few of us can facemelt a zerg. Hey look, it’s realism. Who knew?

Is no one here a parent? The more attention you give this kid, the more he enjoys it, and the more he’ll do it. Just focus on enjoying the game and having fun. He’ll eventually find some other way to bring excitement to what I imagine is a very unfulfilled life, if this is how he spends his time.

We transferred to SOR about a month ago, and it’s been a really fun and refreshing experience. Overall, fellow WvWrs have been welcoming and helpful; the Commanders I have run with have been extremely organized and communicative.

SOR has a very, very strong NA presence, and we could really use some active SEA/EU guilds to make us even stronger. But honestly, I’d highly recommend transferring here to anyone that plays during any slot. Great server, great community, great experience.

Our guild was a SOS original, but we ended up transferring to SOR after the downfall of SOS. SOR has an absolutely wonderful community, fantastic leadership, and overall has been a great experience for us. JQ’s quadruple penile implant of a recruitment effort has definitely left things unbalanced, but all SOR needs is some SEA and EU transfers to flip the script.

If you transfer to SOR, all of your wildest dreams will come true.

This is what’s happened to me 4 nights in a row:

1) I queue up for WvW.
2) My queue pops, I hit Enter.
3) I get booted from the game, and I can’t log back in for about 2 minutes or so.
4) During that same two minutes, if I attempt to log into the GW2 forums, this is the error message that I get:

Login Error: Portal returned error: 42: {"error":42,product,module,line,“text”:“Srv2Route, transaction timeout {#117494416}, {P+/Game.gw2.AnProxy/GetAccountFeatures+STS/1.0}”} — l_c.rb 94 (fangamer:-1).

For some reason, the game is timing me out after it crashes me.

Couldn’t agree more. SOR and BG need to work together against JQ until things change. Anything else is simply spiting yourself. I will say that even with the score the way it is, it’s been great running over JQ during NA prime time.

Step 1) Gear Shield.

Step 2) Prybar.

Step 3) Watch Thief run after they almost eat themselves to death.

Here’s hoping the scores stay this tight all week. But methinks that won’t be the case.

Screw the scores, just have fun fighting while we have a good match up.

That’s kinda what I meant, but agreed.

it only seems like it’s 2000:1 but that’s because some of your commanders are in dungeons lol

Pretty much this. Deal with the new normal or get out of the way.

Internet tough guy, you so scary.

Yeah, because i’m obviously trying to act like a tough guy, lol. What I stated is fact. That’s how T1 works, sorry to break it to you. I know you got comfortable in winning, and that was perfectly acceptable to you…even if you outnumbered the opponent. But now that tables have turned, there’s QQ flowing sideways in here. So really, honestly, at the expense of you thinking i’m trying to sound tough…either adapt to this new incarnation of JQ, or get overrun. We’ve adapted plenty in the past, can you?

Jump to conclusions much? Sheesh.

The transfers and the Oceanics on holiday are definitely having an impact. We’ll have to wait until next week and beyond to get a good reading on what the real situation is.

Update on score.

You guys do a tight job, Hecksa. Hats off.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone wins T1 this week.

I’m glad to hear it. KV deserves some karma, and not the good kind.

Can one of the mods please explain why that cat was wearing a skullcap on the Twitch stream today? Is it really cold in there? Is he related to Colin Farrell? Does he have a regrettable tattoo on his head?

Thanks for the support, Maguumites. We know we can always count on you.

NOTE: Please do not believe the false rumors about queue times on SoS. They’re almost non-existent. As for EU guilds experiencing a challenge, our current T1 opponents have enough EU coverage themselves to provide you with TONS of action on a daily basis.

SOS is a very strong, friendly community that works very hard together to do their best in WvW. We have strong and consistent communication across our server, love to discuss our own original strategies alongside the brilliant strategies of other players, and most importantly, we love to have fun in WvW.

With paid transfers on the horizon, we’d really like to so seem EURO guilds (or any other, really) come on board. We’ll welcome you with open arms and would absolutely work with you in getting you transferred in, feeling comfortable, and right to work on our battlefields.

We only have semi-long queues on reset and some parts of the following week. Otherwise, you’ll have hours upon hours of action-packed playtime to look forward to.
Please message me if you have any questions.

1) With free transfers coming to an end, now is the right time to be recruiting for everyone.

2) I’ll give the University of Alabama a call and let them know that they shouldn’t be recruiting after winning a national championship….except that’s how you win a national championship. Not sure what all the “lolz ur #1, y u recruiting” stuff is about.

SOS at their own garrison a little while ago. Great effort, amazing defense:

1) No more corpse spying.
2) More cowbell.
3) Less wintersday bell.

SCORE UPDATE:

Jade Quarry leaving it all on the floor this week.

Luckily for SoS, we won’t have to worry about you guys ‘leaving it all on the floor this week’ until the next major holiday. /eyeroll

By the way, it’s Monday.

LOL, just realized this was an old thread. Hysterical.

irishhaf.1692:

Really with all the issues in a game like this… you want them to spend time and money on this.. rolls eyes
Most people have a pattern after they succeed in a sneak attack so guessing where your going isnt hard and once your seen your covers blown anyways… or there is little to no defense force so it doesnt matter. once multiple golems are spotted my server doesnt stop searching till they are found every crossed swords is checked… so all your wishes here dont matter.

I agree that when golems are spotted most servers would be on high alert anyhow. But, there are plenty of cases where not being able to corpse spy would change the outcome of some battles. Given how time-sensitive offense and defense alike are, there would be an undeniable butterfly effect across the board in some cases.

I’m not asking them to promote this to the top of the list, but it is an issue that SHOULD be fixed. If not a forced map view, maybe only allow them to see other dead players?

I know a while back there was a thread regarding this subject, but I don’t recall if we ever got an official response from ANet on it. It’s very unrealistic, and while every server benefits from it, it’s something that should be eliminated from the game. Dead players should be forced to look at the WvW map and decide where to respawn, nothing else.

It’s a bit silly to wipe out a force, only to have some dead guy watching your every move and report it back to his team.

I’ve had the halfway pull thing happen to me about 6 times this week.

Gear Shield and Prybar say hi.

Rolling Ring of Earth and Fire

There was this teeny tiny piece of fence by the north side of the village that did it for us after we ran around for like 30 minutes looking for the final piece. It works.

Most of PRX were really fun people to hang out with. Unfortunately, their GM is a megalomaniac man-child with a pathetically amusing Napoleon complex. Video games aren’t real life; it’s rather sad to compromise your integrity as a human being for pixelated glory.

Like any proper megalomaniac, PRX’s GM decided to do this with zero advance warning to anyone on SoS. Whatever EU server lands them, enjoy it until the lambs start crying for KV again. Huggles!

Every time this cat gets downed, he Alt-F4s. And I don’t mean once in a while. I’m talking ever single time he gets downed or realizes he’s going to get downed.

That’s fairly common with people who play stealth classes since the reason they are playing a stealth class to begin with is to avoid dying. However, you really need to bring some video footage if you are going to make that charge against an individual.

It’s a topic of mockery on /map and /team chat, so honestly, not worth effort. Not like it’s going to change anything anyhow. He can take his ball go home repeatedly, I have plenty of badges.

Assuming EU-time pertains to you and your guild…

Sea of Sorrows is WvW-centric, highly organized, & has a very strong and communicative guild alliance that works very well together. The one area of coverage where we find ourselves lacking is EU. Currently, you’d get a ton of action with Jade Quarry having a strong EU presence as well.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Last week it was “SBI is known for crappy weekend attendance” to this past weekend being “round-the-clock presence”. Funny how a little motivation can do lots of good. I’m thinking next week, when neither side has an excuse to lean on (new content vs Thanksgiving vacations), will be very telling.

Familiar tune.

To the rocket scientists from SBI that keep flipping Godslore and building flame rams thinking that they’re crippling our supply:

THE. SUPPLY. RESETS. TO. FULL. WHEN. WE. FLIP. IT. BACK.

I really shouldn’t be saying this at all, since you waste potentially precious time building these things, but this level of stupidity must be put on display.

Lol. Let us know when you figure it out, k?

I get building a ton of siege overall to screw with the max allowabe:

http://www.stormbluffisle.com/index.php/forum/wvw/773-max-siege-on-a-map

But building two here and two there when there isn’t a queue on the map and not much activity seems largely sophomoric to me.
