hey uracia bump

My guild [EG] Ethereal Guardians spawned tequatl, fought and killed it for the first time post patch with 9:02 on the timer on saturday. The biggest thing we noticed was not being able to push all the way through burn phases before he started attacking again because the HP increase was THAT massive. I will say though that we all thoroughly enjoyed the fight. There was about 90-100 of us and we were extremely proud of the increased focus, work and challenge it took for us to get a normally smooth run. After doing tequatl we spawned the buffed triple trouble wurm with approximately 125 people coordinating in teamspeak. Phase 1 was tight, if you miss a burn phase at amber it can be close. Phase 2 of the wurm head we did a triple decap and finished with 50 seconds left. Needles to say we were proud of what we’ve been doing since the bosses come out.

As the leader of a large PVX guild that has been downing these things with consistency and regularity, I can say that there was a very long time where tequatl was the domain ONLY of special interest communities (like TTS, ATT), strong PVE server communities (like blackgate) or organized PVX guilds like mine. More casual and unorganized groups were crying for it to be nerfed but eventually they learned to work together and improve their play to the point where random maps could organize and kill it with some regularity. Even now this was happening with triple trouble wurm (ex: EVOS guild running LFG TT kills) and organizing pugs. They have had many failures with pugs but slowly people learn. That’s just how it is with many casual GW2 gamers.

Hard content should remain challenging in order to encourage people to work together and be proud of something. If everything in the game is faceroll, GW2 would be abandoning its most dedicated playerbase. I would encourage your server communities and guilds to see this as a rallying call to challenge yourselves and prepare for more large raid content that hopefully will be coming down the pipe with Heart of Thorns. I for one am excited

• Daily Tequatl Kills

- Our guild does a Daily Tequatl Kill on Monday to Thursday Nights @ 9:30 PM EST. (10:30 PM EST Daylight Savings) We spawn it ourselves on Saturdays after Guild Missions are completed. 100% kill rate with guild participation over voice chat! Tequatl farming has been our pride and joy for almost 2 years!

- Our Guild holds the current North American record Speed Tequatl kill with 12:03 left on timer and has posted other previous records before the FGS nerf.

• Weekly Triple Trouble Wurm Kills

- Saturday @ 10 PM EST our guild spawns Triple Trouble Wurm and kills it regularly with our dear friends and allies from [DEAD] on Blackgate and [ZoS] on Northern Shiverpeaks. Runs are coordinated over TS3 and maps are opened to LFG after we are done getting guildies in.

- We are proud to be one of the first 3 organized groups and the first PVX guild (non special interest community) that has been downing the TT Wurm with regular success on NA servers!

• Dungeon Runs

- Many experienced members willing to run & teach ALL dungeons, including all paths of Arah & TA Aetherpath. There are groups for all types of players in the guild to learn and improve their play. Disclaimer: Members are expected to have teamwork and be on teamspeak in guild runs when asked. We aim to teach people optimal strategies, proper builds and class skills (ex: usage of food in dungeon trains, class roles, bringing more optimal party composition if possible, and meta for gear – berserker’s gear not clerics). Join your party in Teamspeak and learn to become a Dungeon Master!

• FOTM (Fractals of the Mist)

- For those who like challenging content, we have members who do daily high level fractals (Level 40+) and also members who are capable of teaching tips and tricks to newcomers (Teaching sessions with low level runs).

• WvW Raids / EOTM

- Originally from Sanctum of Rall, we have moved our WvW interested community to SOS. It had been a difficult decision as we witnessed the fall of SOR from tier 1 and attempted to help the server regain some footing at the bottom of tier 7. Although we have left SOR WvW behind, we will never forget our roots there and the times we spent in that server, wishing nothing but the best for their future. We Also have people running in EOTM often!

• Lottery, Poker, & Community Events

- Test your luck with a bi-weekly guild lottery ticket now and have a chance to win hundreds of gold or custom skins!

- Weekly Poker night with the guild in teamspeak via Pokerstars. Compete to win gold prizes against other guildies and enjoy the trash talking that ensues in poker!

- Play in our fashion contests, trivia, screenshots contests, hide & seek, races and more!

Guild Name: Ethereal Guardians [EG]

Guild Vision: We are looking for ACTIVE members (both new and experienced) who want to be part of a large and diverse gaming community! We have a philosophy of self improvement & teaching: we look for players who will challenge themselves and are always trying to improve their skill in the game. We will provide assistance to them via information and builds for just about everything in the game. The goal is to develop well rounded players who are interested in participating in any aspects of the game. We also want players who are interested in being part of an active voice chat community. This attitude extends in everything we do and it shows via the growth of our players!

Guild Home Server: Now accepting players on all servers due to megaserver changes! (We would ask you to be on SOS if you want to participate in guild WvW)

About Us: We are a well-established guild with roots on Sanctum of Rall from the early days of Beta testing. We have since grown into one of the largest and most active guilds in the game. We are a PVX Guild that leans towards PVE content with a laid back but involved attitude that promotes overall guild unity, teamwork and personal improvement. We also have a presence in sPvP for our more competitive players. Guild WvW events are currently conducted on SOS. We would encourage members to transfer to there if they would like to participate (not mandatory).

Historical Highlights of the Guild (In Chronological Order):

- Cursed Shore Farming / PVE Farming

- First in SOR to complete Guild Challenge (Southsun Crab Toss)

- First in GW2 to complete Langmar’s Estate Guild Puzzle

- Lead SOR community to be the third server in GW2 to beat Tequatl The Sunless

- First PVX Guild (non special interest community) to do Guild Run Tequatl Kills

- First PVX Guild (non special interest community) to do organized Triple Trouble Wurm Kills (Shoutout to DEAD
and ZOS)

- Multiple Prior Records for Tequatl Kill times in game.

- Assisting in the writing of Dulfy’s Guild Puzzle Guide & Triple Trouble Guide.

Guild Rules:

1) 100% Rep, all toons in PVE and WvW content. Temporary Rep for league PVP teams, bank guilds in LA & TTS-type special interest exceptions are OK.

2) No kittenbaggery (We have a ZERO tolerance policy regarding general misbehavior towards fellow guild members, as well as any action that reflects poorly on EG as a whole)

3) Notify us for extended absences of 2+ weeks (forum post)

4) Teamspeak 3 is required for Guild Missions, Tequatl, Wurm, Tutorials and other organized Guild Events.

*You do not need to have a mic and speak (although we encourage you to!) but please listen when we conduct missions and out give instructions during events that require high levels of coordination.

Our guild currently offers a wide range of benefits:

• Voice Chat: TeamSpeak 3

- There really is nothing better than a good community of members in VOIP. Most active in the early to late evenings in NA primetime, we often have multiple channels going for dungeons and FOTM in addition to a bustling lounge hangout. Upwards of 50% of our online members will often be in teamspeak during this peak time of the day. You’ll just have to join and see!

• 24/7 Guild Buffs

- Receive 6 permanent guild buffs daily for representing the guild, and occasionally up to 10 on weekends. Honestly, you will be hard pressed to find another guild offering this many perma-buffs to its members!

• Extremely Active Roster (500 members)

- One of the highest [active : member] ratio guilds in the game with members online in every time of the day from different regions of the world. Many guilds profess to have 500 members but how many of them have 50%~ logging in daily? Find a party or just hang out with our Guild chat and TS3 community.

• Organized Guild Missions

- Our main Guild missions are done every Saturday starting 6:30 PM EST (7:30 PM EST with Daylight Savings) by our experienced officers.

- Make up missions are on Thursdays at 10:30 EST, Sunday 3PM EST & can be done anytime upon request if 15+ members gather together!

Guild mate submitted ticket +3 days ago 10/16/2014 9:04am CST. Ticket # 961905. Please help him out.

The nerf to incendiary powder is going to hurt engineer condition damage sigificantly in many builds including elixir – HGH ones. I think if you do this you are obligated to increase raw damage via modified ammunition to offset the loss in a class with already subpar overall DPS output (if you dont want to spam grenades)

bumped this post for good suggestion

support ticket #121110-002679 filed on saturday, i was farming in ORR on sanctum of rall server and was wrongfully banned for ‘botting’, with what seems like a ton of other people in here. my account has not be reinstated and i’m sure that the many other people here are also interested in hearing an answer as to why this is happening to innocent players. hope you can provide a response to my ticket today if possible. thanks.

while farming in orr today i got the ban for ‘botting’ . i’m on sanctum of rall server and interestingly enough multiple people who happen to be on the same server have mentioned in another thread that they also were picked up on one of these ‘bot sweeps’ while farming in ORR like myself today or in recent time. also another guildmate of mine was falsely accused of this like 2 days ago and is still banned. i think it behooves area net to rework their bot detection strategy as wrongly accusing players of botting and banning them severely affects the reputation of the game and enjoyment of its players – i know others feel the same way

i was farming in shelters gate as well as i always farm in orr and i was also banned with the message that i was botting / using 3rd party program – this is pretty ridiculous i’ve been playing this game since it came out and i have farmed in orr for weeks to get gold for possibly a legendary item. i think it’s really unfair that they are arbitrarily banning people who obviously do not bot – ps i am also a guild leader who is active in the game and people know i’m not a bot… ps – also in server sanctum of rall. so whoever is doing the screening for our server is obviously doing a horrible job. a guild mate also got banned for no reason like 2 days ago its really unfair
