Guild Wars 2

Hah! I miss those old 200 vs 200 vs 150 relic fight slideshows in DAoC…staring at the ground just so my crappy PC at the time(i was a teenager then) can manage more than 1 frame a second…LOL

For a tier 3 server, TC has way more than enough people in WvW. As it stands now, you guys win on sheer numbers alone.

TC has many hours where we will have at most 10 players on a map. While I understand this to be a convenient reason for the scores to end the way they do, I’m disappointed that you discredit our players abilities and strategies.

I am disappointed that you keep posting this kitten in a recruitment thread.

match thread -> that way

If you defame them, they will come.

Might want to look at what the person was replying too and where it started.

Aytrix started in with the typical patting yourselves on the back while simultaneously saying TC only ever wins because of numbers. If you want it to stay a recruitment thread then people shouldn’t slide underhanded comments about how superior your server is to everyone else’s in WvW. Funny how certain people (not the majority from FA) have to constantly make excuses for losing to TC over, and over, and over, and over in T3.

That said, I do enjoy fighting(repeatedly) against FA.

you didn’t ask for a critique on that particular build that you posted(which the link doesnt work, btw). you asked why there are so few DPS rangers and i gave you a general answer. everyone here knows why so there’s not really a need to go into detail about it.

most “glass cannon” ranger builds die too fast in endgame pve/wvw/spvp to make their VERY modest damage increase useful anywhere. i’ve played my ranger since beta and my DPS/crit exotic set has about a 2inch thick layer of dust on it.

" Dark Ages of Camelot was also a close equivalent to what you mention but both DAoC & SB had serious rendering issues when high numbers [50+} of avatars were on screen using combat animations in the viewable area."

At least you could see all of those enemies. lol.

I’ve been seeing a lot more warrior bots too..

Q: Is this normal? Is this because I am not actually 80, but instead 22 scaled up to 80? I realise everyone else has their traits, more skills and etc. Is this why it seems like I catch even ‘match’ others? I don’t stand a chance when 2 or more enemies attack me and I die in about 1-2 seconds… while other people seem to be able to take on 5+ people at once without even dodging or anything.

A: Your gear compared to a full set of lvl 80 exotic gear and all the trait points/unlocked skills you have at 80 is the main reason why you’re seeing a major difference. I can’t speak on specifics to you in particular, as I don’t play a warrior myself..

Q: How do I/we even win WvW? It seems that whenever the timer gets down to 0, even if I am on the winning side. Nothing at all happens… I don’t get any xp/money/karma etc… the timer just either goes to —:--:— or it resets.

A: That timer only counts down to when points will be distributed to each world based on the amount on control points they currently own on all 4 maps. You personally only get the added benefits from the world benefits that your server has accumulated from these points.

Q: Why is everyone just ‘standing there’ on a fortress or whatever that we own? Why isn’t anyone capping anything? It seems like there are more people defending a place that the other team isn’t attacking. Rather than attacking another base themselves. Why is this? I don’t want to AFK at a base defending it for 25 minutes to get absolutely nothing.. is that the whole point of WvW?

A?: I’m curious about this because, personally, I don’t think ENOUGH people defend. Ever heard the phrase, “Defense is the best offense”? Too many times I’ve seen an upgraded keep with our orb in it just get waltzed into by invaders and ganked because no one was bothering to defend the kitten thing. To me, it seems the majority is just interested in zerg-capping then abandoning. Some feel that it’s better to let it go and just re-cap it later for more XP/karma/gold. It seems to be a major topic of debate right now and everyone has differing views.

Q: A few friends of mine said that WvW is hands down one of the fastest ways to level up. I quickly did 4 dynamic events and got basically half a level. But then for 20 minutes I couldn’t find or do anything and it seemed like it would have been just as fast to do PvE normally…

A: It comes and goes, if you’re only there to get levels and gold, you’re there for the wrong reasons anyway and you should probably be in a PvE zone..

Q: Do I really seriously have to keep resurrecting all the way back at my home base right at the top (etc.) part of the map when I die? Can I really not resurrect closer to where the fighting is or something? It takes like 5 minutes to walk back to the fight… which I don’t consider fun at all and most of the time everyone has moved or died so I don’t even know where anyone is! Is there a way to resurrect closer to the fight? Or do I just have to hope that one of my alive teammates will resurrect me…?

A: I kinda agree with you here, but there ARE waypoints that can be built deeper into the map if your server holds onto a keep long enough. Defense again.

Q: My friends also said that WvW is the easiest way to earn lots of money early on… but it only seems to be possible to get stuff that I can vendor or whatever from killing others.. which is hard to do because of the first thing I wrote here.. the gear that I get from ‘bags of loot’ doesn’t seem all that decent and the amount of money I get from selling it doesn’t even cover the repair costs for my armor. I think it’s really stupid that you should have to pay to repair your armor if you die in WvW. So how am I supposed to make money in WvW? Or is it not possible…?

A: Same answer as above. It’s possible to make great money in WvW but it’s not guaranteed. It’s way more volatile than PvE cash farming.

Q: It seems like 4 games can go by (by this I mean when the timer resets 4 times) and we still haven’t captured any new bases at all. People are just still standing there in fortresses afking or whatever… why is everyone just wasting their time standing still doing nothing?

A: Not sure what server you’re on, but on my server I hardly ever see that. People don’t wait in hour-long queues to just stand around and AFK once they finally get in.

My last thought is that WvW is there if you want to play it.. Hopefully Anet changes some things around eventually, but ultimately it is what it is.. I suggest you WvW more and get more involved if you’re curious about it. You’ll have a lot more fun with it if you’re engaged in what is going on instead of focusing on making cash/levels there. Cheers!

My jungle spider’s F2 is so kitten slow, sometimes i don’t even bother unless it’s like way early in the fight, lol.

also the extra range from trait unlocks keeps me able to put the hurt on people when they cant even touch me.

Good times at Woodhaven tonight, FA. Cheers.
