Cheers for the input guys. General idea i’m getting is it’s never something you use as a priority. But when ur stuck, slowed, getting kited etc. Using that 3 seconds + stun to get back to your target before swapping to your main weapon.

Why Orb Removal Will be Very Bad for WvW

Why not just switch the out manned and orb bonuses? So outmanned servers have the potential to fight back whilst outnumbered and the orb gives the entire holding server bonuses to magic find, experience and gold. After all, what your fighting for is basically pve bonuses anyway.

I realise the hacking will still need to be addressed for all the gold sellers not to take advantage, but it’ll keep the objective and give smaller servers a chance when paired with larger more active ones.

I really like the idea of using a shield as a warrior. It looks cool too but it doesn’t seem to make me anymore tanky. In the sense that even with feats the skills still have massive cooldowns and apart from a 3 second block/reflect every 27 seconds (cd doesnt start till after its finished use) it doesnt seem worth it. The armor value isnt even very high, maybe a third of other pieces of heavy armor. Probably equivalent to wearing a dress over your wrist? – i haven’t checked the light armor numbers though.

Am i missing something? Or is there a way to make a shield an effective off hand?

Indeed it does, the very second sentence mentions how dire the scores are. Oversleeping, nope, i don’t believe we have a crew that spends their friday nights playing this yet. Just casual players that want to enjoy the game without getting rolled whenever they attempt anything. And if there are, maybe like 20 going by tonight’s look.

At no point did i say i legalize the use. But does it not give you something to do in game? I imagine those shifts watching the orb can get pretty boring.

Saying that your not doing it doesn’t imply no one else is. I’d hate to ever try and speak for an entire realm which has seemed to go on alot in this thread.

That’s true, the resets are on a friday night! I knew i understood something gw related. But unfortunately not everyone is as die-hard players as your 300. I’m curious, do you all have matching red capes, big round shields and abs that make women weak at the knees?

This is a hilarious post. Why come onto the forums to complain about single group. Most people don’t even look at these, so i doubt said individuals did to see your requests for peace and quiet. I thought you were suppose to be German? I also thought writing a letter (or the internet equivalent) was the British thing to do anyway?

Basically, Aurora and Ring been steam rolled since the turn over at a silly time in the morning. So we’ve had no one on and every keep/tower etc is supplied and upgraded to the max before we even started playing. And quite simply its boring! We can turn up as a group to achieve something but within 10 minutes we’ve been zerged cos we don’t have the player base or the supply structure to hold anything now.

Strangely, does it seem surprising that cheap tactics or glitches -however dev intentional they are – are being used? Get over it, your winning. And by people trying to do something ‘inventive’ you aren’t sat twiddling your thumbs. Which is the other alternative.

In terms of bots, how are they not helping?! Set the script up to go take a castle at 3am in the morning while the majority of players are asleep. Which frankly could well have been the case as the WvW servers changed, causing Miller’s to own the lot. That or there was a meeting i missed, where everyone that works a night shift was playing on the same realm.
