Guild Wars 2

ya this would be nice. Whats the easiest way to find a pug raid ?

Plague http://spreadtheplague.enjin.com/ is looking for a few more people or another small guild to join us on WvW nights as well as prepare for the ten person raids coming up. Small older gamer guild on Jade Quarry. Currently we host WvW guild nights on Tuesday and Thursday starting at 8pm central.

We are averaging four to seven per WvW night. As far as raiding may need a main tank if your interested in such things. Guild Hall has been established

Send me a PM if interested.

I dont see it being huge deal on what classes / specs raid. Sure you will need a main tank and healer but a diverse raid group should be fine. If certain classes or specs are useless in raids then Anet has failed in dungeon design.

I main a thief as well so if you cant find a guild raiding or raid pug spot send a pm or mail in game. We only have five or so with HoT as it is so will need to add friends or randoms to get to ten.

Yes besides unlocking the mastery spec how do you get thew recipe for this ?

Wait we have an unblockable attack skill that does 15k ? Which one is it ?

ya are these purchased off a npc, drops, crafted etc ?

Weakening Strike- Please add receive less dmg on crit + a condition removal

I was 13k+ crit by an Engineer using Flame Gun over the weekend in WvW testing my Daredevil. Wish we could pull off that kind of damage with a 1500 range.

Bro…. Print Screen. It’s 2015.

Hehe for some reason my print screen nor screenshot was working. Maybe HoT beta was disabling it or something wrong w my OS but I had to take a pic so ended up using my smartphone.

Can you imagine the legion of whines and immediate nurf if a thief had a 1500 range 14k crit ability ? The servers would come down for a hotfix immediately.

Fist Flurry is really hard to land plus hitting palm strike is near impossible on players. Palm Strike needs to be an automatic hit.

The evasion / dodge thing isnt working in terms of avoiding damage vs other players. There just isnt enough survival-ability when many of the fights are range in wvw.

First time ever Ive been hit with a 13k crit with a weapon that has a 1500 range…wtf is this ?

Little worried we wont have a role at all in the new HoT raids. My thief is in full ascended armor, weapons, and accessories but I just have this nagging feeling no one will want me in their pve ten man raid

No idea what to pair up weapon wise with the staff. Anyone else in the same position or made a decision on secondary weapons ? And if so what are you pairing up with the staff ?

thanks

Is that dan auerbach’s new album ? Can you post your spec ?

Staff 1- Staff Strike-Staff Bash- Punishing Strikes is slow and easy avoidable in WvW/PVP. Speeding up the attack would help. The Punishing Strike Whirl looked odd on my Asura as the staff stuck out a few feet from my hands as it whirls. Perhaps add a daze or stun on the punishing strike for a reward for hitting all three hits or an initiative return.

Staff 2-Weakening Charge as mentioned many times would feel much smoother with a lock on target such as the way heart seeker functions.

Staff 3- Debilitating Arc- It’s fine, maybe add a condition removal on it since I really struggled with conditions, even with all the evade condition removal options, in WvW/PP

Staff 4- Dust Strike- Slow and easily avoidable. Speed up attack, increase range, and/or give it a stealth.

Staff 5- Vault- Increase aoe, increase range to 900 at least, speed up leap/attack.

Skills- Fist Furry – Palm Strike should auto attack automatically. Easy to miss it’s activation in the heat of combat.

Elite—Upper Cut, not sure if it does but it should have a lock on charge as well.

Dodges- Seemed clunky and slow as well as hard to command.

a. Bounding Dodger is fun but hard to control. Perhaps drop the range to lock on target with large vertical evade.

b. Unhindered Combat- Should remove all conditions. Again I had major issues removing conditions in WvW with all the new condition removal abilities.

Escapist Absolution should remove conditions on dodge.

Impacting Disruption should have a 1 sec stun or daze on it.

Yep, too many want to be easy mode thief players out there wanting to snipe in stealth 1200 feet away

Random.4691:

See my take on it is, many (not all) thieves wanted to be a thief and a sniper, they wanted god mode (maybe some didn’t realize this is what they were asking for), it just wasn’t good for the game to give a thief 1200 range with high damage without completely revamping the class to bring it in line.

Some people still don’t seem to grasp what giving them a rifle without overhauling the class would do to balance. You could say, “well just lower the damage of rifle” but then you would have the ones wanting god mode complaining because the Thief is suppose to be this burst god and their rifle doesn’t do the burst they want it to.

Some players realize what 1200 rng would mean for a thief and had plenty of good suggestions but whether good or bad those suggestions would be overwhelmed by QQ about the low Damage needed for thieves not to achieve god mode.

cant wait to play w the staff

Wonder what second weapon set will work well with the staff

Been on Jade Quarry since before release. Not once did I care what servers or guilds we were paired with. A fight is a fight regardless of what server, guild, or red name tag paired up on the other side.

And JQ has been at the top for nearly the entire length of game. Being at the top means the competition moves towards you and so you don’t have to care so much and being at the top tier in this game means stacking time zones for ppt coverage primarily. This is another issue Anet has said they want to address.

Competition ? Every tier has competition. Trust me when I say, and I am not alone, that if JQ was at the bottom of the rankings I would still be there. Never felt the need to jump servers for WvW just to stroke some ego or flame some illiusion that winning in WvW actually means something.

cant wait for all the easy mode want to be thiefs to break down in tears rage quitting when they cant have their easy mode 1200 range sniper elite

Cant wait to play the staff monk thief

Staff, long range attacks are boring and typically not challenging Which maybe explains why some prefer rifle.

Just what s stealth class needs, 1200 range attack. /sarcasm

I main a thief, would much prefer a melee staff over a long range rifle. Long range = boring and not really challenging to pop off players in wvw from long range.

Morv.9837:

While I would rather have Staff over Rifle thematically, I feel it would be odd for 2 of the 3 medium armor classes to get the same elite weapon (melee staff).

No, why would it ? Is there some rule that says multiple classes can not get the same elite weapon ? We all know the weapon abilities are going to be vastly different per class.

Am I the only one who would love a melee staff thief ?

Actually excited about the idea of playing a melee staff theif

Not really cuz were transferring to TC for the week hahaha

thefreezingvoid.8516:

To say JQ hasnt been the target of a 2v1 would be stupidity.
But all servers have at different times TBH.

But mostly it just came down to 2v1 on JQ till we were in 3rd (Also didnt help that most guilds during the weekend had a hard time getting more then 10 people on a map due to AP hunters), and then 2v1’s on who ever was weakest or allied with who ever was more willing to cooperate.

BG early in the weekdays faced more 2v1’s because it was easier for JQ to work with SoR, since BG seemed stuck in “Go after JQ no matter what” mode.

Later in the week, BG must have figured we were sufficiently in 3rd that they were more willing to cooperate with us against SoR.
However where possible, during the EU the 2v1’s were usually against BG, due to the fact they that SoR have a pretty strong EU coverage.

Last night was just bad. SoR and BG 2v1’d us in EB and SoR BL during a very weak period. In EB we hit a transition where 60% of the queue was AP hunters who have little interest of staying on a pin, and no pin willing to command the 20 people, when they cant do anything. On SoR BL, I think most guilds were still trying to rally their forces there, but hadn’t quite managed yet.

And after that, it was pretty hard to regain from the constant 2v1 and spawn camping.

I realize both BG and SoR must be suffering the same problems getting guilds on map with AP hunters everywhere. But they seem to be having an easier time of it than we are.

Its really hard to believe that someone brought to the forum fair points telling the truth about whats happenng, without lies, cry, complain or any bulls*** that usually show up here. End of Story.

yep +1 , the ppt being so close for so long this week has to be a record for wvw. 3rd place or not seeing all the SoR trolls kitten in their panties on the forums when we pulled under 2k on them was priceless.

Grats BG on a well earned victory this week over SoR and JQ. Look forward to our future fights.

Liquid.9672:

One of these days, people will figure out that the server that most often eats a 2v1 is the one who is considered to be the biggest threat, and go “oh hey, I should feel some pride about that”. Instead, the first instinct is to run to the forums to cry, make threats and shake your fist (players from BG have done this in the past as well).

It’s not that hard to figure this stuff out guys. JQ could have easily shifted focus to BG last night if they thought we would have the upper hand in matches 2-6. Clearly they don’t. I’m hoping to prove them wrong.

We are just trying to survive on JQ. Weve all been on either side of defeat and victory from each other. I think the mistake some guild leaders on all three servers are making are assuming the end result of this week’s match will determine the league’s champion.
That just isnt fair to the other servers nor true. Seven weeks is a long time. As we all know servers can change a lot in a month.

Why do the EU SoR guilds talk so much trash in this thread ? Only amateurs need to belittle and disrespect their opponents. Act like you have been there before or better yet just show a little class.

I think we on JQ are just happy to have semi even three sided fights. Our server has been left for the lower tiers on one than more occasion yet we continue to constantly be around t1. Hat’s off to BG and SoR for being worthy adversaries.

One would think after a year plus of banging heads verses each other the amount if whining and complaining would cease here. The score could be dead even three ways yet egos would find something to kitten about. Thankfully on JQ much of the kittenes transferred off.

Look be grateful we’re having great semi even matches. We have all won so ask yourself what does winning actually mean in gw2 WvW ?

Lol you guys why cry and complain about everything . Just enjoy the challenge.

WvW
1: Gear / Weapon progression on equal level with PVE
2: Zerg vs Small Group balances
3: Providing guilds a better option to to GVG other than on the BL in WvW

Congrats to all three servers, regardless of the final score, on a very even match this week. /tips his hat

dragon.8071:

we made rg retire early. we made gd leave server. we made prx retire early and the good ones comes over to us. we made wm not want to do wvw. we dominate most of the top guilds. can’t you see the pattern? you fight against sor, you will end up quitting soon. resistance is futile. come over to sor and feel our power.

Someone need a nappy nap ? No apologies from Jade Quarry for not backing down from a fight. We never have and never will.

Great back and forth fighting this week. All three servers are champions and collectively should be proud of their WvW accomplishments.

To those who have left a home server to take up the JQ banner on the field of battle I also wanted to say thank you for taking the risk transferring to JQ. I’ve been here since the beta weekends seeing guilds come and go but it’s always refreshing to know we have created a server where all are welcomed regardless of their past.

Seigfried.5938:

Shame on you SoR, IRON in particular. You outnumber Vash 4:1 in terms of forum warriors.

It’s great server and guild recruiting PR.

I have to come clean because I feel guilty. I personnnaly paid the Violent Jamaican Posses, aka The Shower Posses , to transfer over to JQ straight from Kingston. Don’t ask what the cost was but expect severe beat downs to those who have talked trash towards JQ (you know who you are).

moolie.5927:

1. I like JQ. This disproves your statement about no one liking JQ. I also like BG and SoR. They are very strong opponents.
2. JQ has been a T1-strengh server since launch. Feel free to look it up.
3. You have an awful lot of posts complaining about skill lag, jumping puzzles, ANet, WvW, etc. Doesn’t make you look good.

1. You mean you like your own server…how original!
2. JQ has been at the bottom of T1 since launch…that is true and will remain true
3. Attack the messenger… great argumentation technique, never done before. How does the content of posts has anything to do with server X being at the bottom of T1 and mainly composed of bad players?

poor little guy is upset because he got pee vee peed at the jumping puzzle once

JQ has been in T1 longer than any server and has had the fewest guilds transfer to our server between the 3 of us. That is the definition of a strong community.

I love these statements as fact that can’t be verified by any source.

I’m the best Engi NA BTW.

I can make the long list of guilds that have came to your server to show that is a fact. Almost all of the guilds in SoR have transferred there. “fact”

Then do it. And make that same list for all the JQ guilds that have transferred in and out, and the same for BG. Cite your sources for accuracy.

Off the top of my head TSP, Sanguine Wild, Shadowclan, Legion, SYN, Virakar, and many others due to the queues and more recently Aco, WARD, Pro ect.

Aco and Ward left to lack of coverage not any queue lol. You sir need to get better intel!

Intel ? I have no idea why aco and ward left. From that sounds of it they thought the grass was greener else where. I was referring to the early guilds mention as leaving due to queues not the more recent transfers.

Considering all the guilds that left JQ either due to long queue or jumped shipped to bandwagon else where I would say it’s true. Of course you would have to take my word for it but I could list guilds dating back to October 2012 that have transferred off.

Can someone please help me?
I still can’t understand why people are complaining we recruited 4 guilds?

2 guilds, GD and TKG, to fill up the absolute void we had in EU and oceanic.

2 guilds, NS and Agg, to replace the 4 (!) guilds we lost in NA (aco, WARD, WvW, Pro)

You guys really prefer to fight our doors? I simply can’t find another explanation :-/

You didn’t lose WvW. Just it’s guild leadership.

Glad you know ALL the things about guilds on servers you loathe.

No, Zombieland is empty. After their leaders left the players also left the guild, thus leaving an empty guild.

Your servers PPT is always ~ 200 during EU and 300+ SEA and your saying you dont have enough people?

JQ – Pay to make you cry
BG – Pay to win

fix that for you

Hoots.9564:

PredatoR.5247:

Here to put an end to “if and when Agg leaves” rumors. We made our Chinese friends in Jade Quarry a promise that Aggression will be staying on Jade Quarry for the long run this time, longer than our longest stay on any server previously (Sea of Sorrows) during our PPT days. The rumors upset our friends and I just wanted to verify that Aggression is going to stay on Jade Quarry possibly up to our last day on Gw2.

I also believe no more transfers are needed, Fort Aspenwood and Dragonbrand could use guilds if there is an intention on having more than 3 “competitive” servers.

I’m actually surprised you guys choose JQ as your final server, especially after that big ole fiasco between AGG and SF on where GvG’s should take place the last time you were on JQ.

Not surprised at all considering how resilient the core of JQ has been over the weeks and months of WvW.

Relax, finishing off down players should add to points. Far more legitimate stomps having significant more point influence will be occurring over anything either of you are concerned with.
