I think I speak for most, if not all of us who participated when I say it was the best gvg we’ve had so far. It could’ve gone either way, but in the end you won and grats on the victory.
Thx VII for a very challenging GvG last night definitely one of the hardest fights we fought in a GvG. Although the beatings hurt, that one round YaKs managed to secure a win was a step forward for the guild who has been struggling with membership and had to resort to using trial members for the GvG.
We look forward to improving and facing you guys in the future!
Again, server A accusing server B of something server A does as well… Over a year later, still the same posts….
Although it is kinda true you don’t see RS come out of their towers a lot. Quite unfortunate to see 35 ppl camping in a tower when only 15 ppl are attacking it, but who cares. It’s their game too
But honestly, before the gamelaunch when they were saying all their PR stuff like “we want you to play how you want, not how we want”, “no grinding”, “we care about YOU”, etc etc I knew it would be BS. Got the game anyway because I was gonna play with roommates.
Don’t get me wrong, the fun I got out of it was worth the money, but it really amazes me how contradictory and inconsistent this company is. I guess as long as they meet their annual profit goal they don’t care (or think ppl are satisfied enough). I’ve seen better from free-to-play developers, with less staff. Any other company I know or worked for would’ve done some kind of (partial) refund or something else to compensate for people BUYING stuff they can’t use anymore.
And not because the item they bought is the problem, but an other item (they don’t even own) in a similar category…. ??? None of the items I have that work on townsclothes have anything to do with any exploit, yet I am being punished for it.
Are we getting refunds for all the stuff we bought? no
Is Anet going to fix the 1 or 2 items that allowed this exploit? doesn’t seem like it
They know about these threads, I got a PM the other day saying that a similar thread I posted in was removed to the trash. Yet, still no response.
I have townsclothes in WvW, for when I wait for my raid to start and ppl drop Box’o’funs around. THAT is the time people mostly use townsclothes. Atleast allow them in the spawncamps.
Sometimes I wonder who comes up with the ideas here. Don’t say it’s a team, makes it even worse. I can’t imagine nobody from the entire team thought about this, and even worse, that the majority disagreed with this person. Tbh, Anet reminds me of the 1%, when the ppl working there probably don’t even go in that category.
On rare occasions, my attacks would go right through them as if they are holograms.
Most recent was about 10 minutes ago to Sorrow Furnace’s dolyak in EB.
Anyone else experienced this issue?
use an autoattack on it, see where the projectile goes to. chances are the dolyak isn’t where you see it.
This is kinda odd. How would you chose a real commander of the year? People will only vote on commanders they know (the ones on the servers they play on). There is no way to compare commanders from other servers. If I only know a few commanders (not even all of them) on the 1 of the like 30 servers there are, I can’t really accurately select “the best”
Bah this just goes on and on lol. See second post of phoebe for laughing bit. And I dont think I said that the guy who hinted at me being an idiot was from VII, did I?
Then speak up and be more clear about what you’re saying. Don’t resort to such childish acts of wordplay. It sounds like you were accusing someone of something, then later find out you made a mistake and rather than facing it you come up with “well I didn’t exactly say that now did I?”
Come on. If you were accusing VII of something and another guild of something else, say it. Don’t put the accusation of someone else behind what you’re saying about us (or anyone else for that matter). It will only result in more ppl getting annoyed and misunderstood.
I don’t understand why you’re making such a big deal about it anyways. You keep pretending to be some kind of victim even after I’ve explained it in a calm and rational way.
Centrix, issue is closed for me after you saying “Spawncamping is not that noble”. All I expected was to hear something along those lines. Instead I got laughed at and even called an idiot (by someone from a guild i praised for not spawncamping!) but, whatever, I heard what I wanted to.
Gl next week to all
Unless I missed a post somewhere I don’t think anyone from the guild called you an idiot, and definitely not laughed at.
Unless you mean this
(PS: if you get spawncamped, you are an idiot. every single spawn in this game has 3 separate exits)
But that wasn’t from VII so it wouldn’t make sense to blame us for that
Ok, now you’re just trying to make it sound like we’re hateful and disrespectful towards your server. That’s not true at all. We admire any enemy no matter how big or small if they show they are willing to fight.
But I’m not going to apologize for something I did not partake in. I only raided on saturday and from what I heard, the rest of the week was just as bad. This matchup was kitten for you and spawncamping definitely doesn’t make it any better, but it wasn’t exactly fun for us either. And I can definitely understand if our commanders say “kitten it, lets just stay here instead of running around the map for nothing”. Spawncamping is boring and not that noble, but it beats running around the map for hours only to find and kill a few roamers. They were probably just killing time and it sucks that it had to be you, but honestly, kitten happens.
And if you can’t manage to let it go, let’s just agree that we’re both happy the matchup is over.
Look, i’ve been outmanned, stomped, and bored before. In my opinion, nothing beats spawn camping the losing server’s pugs with your organised guild in terms of lowliness. There were guildless people there. Seniors. Baby seals and penguins and pandas… Thing is, we faced far superior servers and lost before, but I never saw TUP for instance spawn camp. I think there should be some no-no’s even if you’re bored to death and this is one of them. If you think differently, which is entirely normal, do move on, nothing to see here.
Please calm down, you’re at a 10 when you’re supposed to be at a 2.
I wasn’t there, but like said before, if there is really NOTHING else to do, you only have 2 options: don’t raid/cancel raid, or try to make the best of it with the few ppl we already had online. When we get rolled and spawncamped by zergs during matchups you don’t see us complain either. Again, we can logout or make the best of it. I know it sucks, I’ve been spawncamped too when I was just roaming. I just suck it up or leave instead of complaining about it on the forums. May sound harsh, but hey that’s reality.
PS. You can’t convince me of VII being a blob guild, even if I wasn’t there, I know my guild well enough to know our capacity and when people do and don’t play.
best loot system imo would be: auto loot to your inventory, and if ur inventory is full then the bags drop, giving you a little bit of time to clear your inventory (merchant) and grab the rest.
Who knows why they do half of what they do. They have no clue what they’re doing that’s obvious.
If you watch that dev stream where they explained the ruins and really listen to what they say about how they come up with their patches and all, you’ll realize why.
They basically confirmed what you just said (in different words, but it’s basically the same). After listening to that it didn’t surprise me why it took 8 months to kill culling and implement the ranking which “took a lot of time”…
If they first change the whole queue system to FIFO or something similar, it would probably be easier to implement this. Just like dota2, if ur in the queue and ur game doesnt start because someone dced or whatever, you have priority queue.
But this first-in-random-out means that I can queue and get a pop 2 seconds later (because that’s when someone left the zone and it picked a random queuer to let in), while my buddy has already been in the queue for an hour.
Well anet knows ppl dont like pve in wvw, I’m sure you can find some quotes by devon somewhere confirming this. And if i’m not mistaken he even said they wouldn’t put pve (or not as much) into wvw, but…
(too lazy to finish the post, you already can guess what follows so nvm)
my guess is that they want to lure more pve-ers into wvw, by adding pve. But pveers already said they don’t care about wvw, even if there is more pve in there.
[SC] wants to say thanks to [HoB] and [VII] for the epic fights today on Ranik Border. We might put up a video in a few hours of them, and will then post it here. It looks like it’s going to be an awesome week.
Awesome fights all night. My voice is so sore. Major props to all of you that came out to fight us tonight. Shame we didnt have our starting numbers all night but thanks for splitting up and only hitting us with 2 guilds and pugs instead of 3 guilds as we lost DPS.
Best night of fighting in a very long time, till next time o/
My highlight was taking Bay. Moving round to south inner to cut off VcY whilst leaving portals to portal bomb HoB as they came in. Killed half of them only for VII to smash into us was it? After that massive fighting left right and centre till we got in and then the 10 minute fight for lord room. Pure awesome xD
And looking forward to watching the VII stream tomorrow, be nice to see where we screwed up and where we did well.
VII / HoB / TUP / VcY if you guys can all get in one BL tomorrow and i can get a full zerg in we’ll have a fun night. We will be blobbing so i’ll forwarn you now. Zerg vs 4 guilds sounds fun
Sounds like the ultimate lagfest, but let’s bring it!
What is this “fun” you speak of? I know no such thing
In all seriousness, so far I’ve had less fun than I imagined was possible. I hoped the season would do atleast some good to the wvw scene, but so far I don’t really see it. It looks pretty much exactly the same as before, with the exception that you now know which servers you will face in the future and with more lag.
Now the season is here, I don’t see it’s purpose. Anet says things will stay the same after the season ends, so what’s going to be the difference between a wvw season and when it’s not in season? From my pov, it begins to look more and more like an excuse to not update WvW for 7 weeks wrapped in a giftbox. The achievements are ok I guess, but really that’s how it should’ve been from the beginning anyway.
The only thing keeping me in this game atm is my guild. These days I only login for either a 3-hour wvw raid or a GvG. Other than that the game lost my interest.
No updates for WvW during the season either. I kittening hope that some good stuff comes out of 7 weeks of no wvw updates and on the 8th week we get some amazing stuff. But this is Anet we’re talking abut. They probably just went for 7 weeks vacation.
They probably sent the 2-3 devs they have on WvW to help the other 50 working on living story :P
Just from watching the amount of AP u have we can tell you’re not a wvw regular.
I have 5300 something and i only wvw
grats I guess on the achievements, though I don’t understand why you would want them if you don’t play wvw (I couldn’t care less about the pve titles and achievements either), but to each their own.
I have only 6 of the 15 completed so far.
I have 10.5k achievements points and I would consider myself a WvW regular. Overall I think I’ve taken no more than 5 months off from WvW since release and I’m at 4/5 tier for WvW killer.
Remember many of the achievement points are based off of dailies.
I never went out of my way to finish dailies. Especially back when there weren’t any wvw dailies. Oooh boy… I can’t imagine myself farming mats every single day. Just thinking about it makes me want to quit lol.
Now we have wvw dailies, so I don’t have to worry about it. If I get my daily today, cool. If I don’t, I couldn’t care less.
Now if the Obsidian Sanctum space could grow into a GW2 version of DAOC’s Darkness Falls (ie: a PVP dungeon that also offers high-end PVE content), I’d be one happy customer.

I really don’t like ‘GvG’, but that’s my opinion. I would like it better if people renamed it to GDM (guild death match) which is what the mode really is.
Its my opinion, this community organized GvG is nothing like the GvG which I played in GW1.
It’s not. Guild Death Match would suggest you can respawn and run back during the fight.
We call it GvG because that’s exactly what it is: 2 guilds fighting eachother with a specified set of rukitten th guilds agree to.
Just because it goes against your personal definition of what a GvG is about (maybe because you played a different game where “gvg” meant something else), but this is GvG in GW2, until they add an official mode for it. Again, what we do, by definition, is guild vs guild.
Great post, you explained it well. A lot of people think it’s just 20 people stacking on top of eachother and spamming skills (some guilds do this, but they would always lose against top guilds). People fail to see the individual roles each player and class has
That’s why I don’t use fastcast. I click any aoe skill and the giant green circle tells me exactly where it is.
Another reason why I don’t use it is because imo if you press the skill the moment you need to use it you’re already too late. I like to have my skill ready to pop (so activate aoe, see green circle and wait for the right moment to use it). And if I need to use another skill instead, I already know where the cursor is.
we have skilllag too but thats very rare and only when like 150 ppl meet all on one place and beat each other and this happens not so often how this aurora guyz talk here
The reason it dosn’t happen so often for you, is that because of some wierd reason the bigger group normally dont get affected by the skillag as bad as the smaller group.
Multiple times when I’ve ran in our EB blob not having skillag at all, and getting wispers from friends on others servers were they had a smaller group then we had and they almost couldn’t use any abilities except their auto attack.
So in your case Romek, you probably wont get affected by the skillag that much as I guess you are only to find in those 70+ blobs
Very, very unlikely
The bigger group just has more ppl, thus more skills that go off per second = higher dmg output = seems like it doesn’t affect them as much.
I know that you have released what you can and no more, thus I can only say “thank you A.net” for caring and keep us updated.
I expect it will take 3-4 months to be released, but I hope it will be worth of it.
Well since he posted quite some info about it, I assume it’s coming sooner than that. Usually the 3-4 month timeframe they only post “maybe”, “we have some ideas, we will tell you when we have more info”.
A question. Since this will be part of WvW, are we now allowed to talk about it in the wvw section of the forums? Or is it still some underground hush hush thing they will move to an abandoned section?
