Guild Wars 2

Everyone that say’s thief is fine in wvw need to get a high five in the face with and 18 wheeler. No other class comes even close to what a thief can do and the hardest part of that is that there is no counter to it.
Perma thiefs needs a hard nerf. Because how can you defend your siege against a perma thief running through an entire zerg do his thing and runs back with is perma stealth.

How to play a thief and become unkillable.

1 stealth
2 attack
3 dodge
4 see step 1.

@OP GTFO!!!
Thiefs are the most OP classes ever with there perma stealth. Killing al the siege, players without any counter.

Well great fights this evening on FSP border.
And Piken no bay is ours you won’t get it.

…looks like we got it and for many of our players its still not midnight ^^
(UK time 11pm ^^)

NOOOO!!!!.
But GoT is 100% dutch/belgium so for us it was midnight.

Also SPRT is a very hard guild to fight. Great job!

But overall this weekend was good. Very fun fights in FSP borderlands and complete Hell in Bay with Drakkar and Piken attacking from both sides.

Well great fights this evening on FSP border.
And Piken no bay is ours you won’t get it.

Lag started around the dragon bash event patch

Server: farshiverpeaks
ISP: UPC (fiber)
Netherlands

Other games are fine.

Well the week is almost over.
AM leading almost by 2 times as much points.
Gandara en FPS not so far apart.
Overal had some great fights. But it was clear from the start that AM was going to win this week.
This was not because of there awesome tactics but just pure numbers. (Germans using russian WW2 Tactics???).
But overal a good week with great moments. I hope for us FSP players that next matchup would be more balanced around numbers.

@Sabyne.6329
Wat kind of armor are you wearing on the first pic? Looks real nice

@LordByron.8369 i m using food that buffs the crit dmg by 8%.

Almost every build is viable for fractals but you need to know how to play the class and every fractal level there is.

I started fractals with the standard 0/10/0/30/30 build and high survivability. Later on i switched some gear/runes etc to get a nice 75% crit dmg and still having 2400/2500 thougness.

Now i m running full zerker with 117% crit dmg and 2100/2200 thougness and still not going down easily.

So the build you need to choose depends on your own skill level and experience with fractals.

@Rassase,

You can read the naming policy here
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/legal/guild-wars-2-naming-policy/
You can see that you are not allowed to make a reference to drugs.

ArenaNet is very very strict about player names. Funny part is.
If you read the naming policy you can see that you are not allowed to make a reference to religious or historical figures but in this game that are multiple reference to religious names or even characters.

Asura (Hindu mythology)
Harpy (Greek mythology)
Legion (Christian demonology)

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_theological_demons

So by there own rules they have to ban every Asura player, Remove Harpy’s from the game and every legion there is

Don’t forget that all classes can be good but you need to know how to play them.
I have a friend who plays a ranger and i won’t do a dungeon without him because he knows how good a ranger can be. Same goes for necro or engineer.

But if you want to play same, go for the guardian.

On 2 Feb 2013 my account was banned because of my name (SintLucifer and SaintLucifer). After some email conversation with the support they unbannend my account but i had to change all my character names (Even my uniek name with the numbers has changed by ArenaNet TO SaintLucifer.4791). Below you can see the email converstation i had and the new names i was going to use were APPROVED by ArenaNet that this won’t be a problem.

Greetings,

The names you have picked are ok, please just be mindful of your fellow players. The name “Saint Match”, while still a reference to Lucifer, is not well known. For that reason you may use it, but please refrain from using names people will be offended with.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us.

Dear Lloyd,

I have changed the ingame character accounts to the following (Saint Match
(little joke), Sint Luci and SintLuci). I hope that these names
are appropriate.
If not then please let me know so we can figure this out.

kind regards,

Yet i m kittening bannend again! This is getting out of hand and im getting real tired of this.

Well i don’t have an ranger myself but i love rangers in my party while doing fractals. Simply because pets can rez. My buddy even named his pet “rez o matic” and his pet is more famous in our guild then some players.
But removing a class is a big no no.

@LordByron
My point is that there is no trinity in this game so every class can be ranged or melee. And because a class has a low hp base doens’t mean they aren’t great melee fighters.
The reason why both ele and guard have low hp base is because they have alot of healing.

Red Falcon.8257:

I’m still wondering why can’t Ele simply be a good ranged caster.
Ele isn’t meant to melee lets face it, with low health and armor to survive in melee he needs OP tools such as the current mega-healing bull.
Just give this class high ranged AoE damage as it’s supposed to be, most Eles outside sPvP play that way anyways.
If sPvP needs a melee build then Anet split those freakin’ skills.

I’m sorry for you guys but until Anet decides to do a proper skill splitting of all skills in the game I doubt we’ll ever see balance.
To get a 100% balance they would even need to make a split for WvW which works differently from sPvP and PvE and therefore needs different skills too.

But hey, we’re getting Keg Brawl! <facepalm>

So my guardian should also be ranged? My health pool on my ele is higher then on my guardian and the difference in armor is “just” 400.

It was a fun week and i think all servers did fine. Had some great battles and more Ooo kitten moments (fighting 1vs1 to see the GH zerg in the north closing in and try to run away only to find out that AG zerg is coming from the south).

Also i see both AG and GH alway’s running in small teams. Very annoying when you walk alone. And every time i had a good 1vs1 fight there was alway’s a group coming to finish me off.

Well my main was a guardian and the last coulpe of weeks i rolled and ele.
Both classes get a low hp base and got my guardian and ele around 15-16k HP (more then enough).

My ele got 2.4k armor and a crit dmg of 60% (crit chance with fury is around 50%). So im not that squishy but i can hit hard (allready seen crits of 7-8k).

Its not exploiting because kiting is a part of the game. Same as using ash legion spy kits todo some parts of fractals or reviving someone.

I say lets wait wat the devs will do. If you look at older patch notes you see that some abilities are only nerfed in sPVP maybe they will do the same to D/D ele.

Also as mobility goes. A warrior is just as fast.

I have a guardian and ele both on lvl80 for some time now.
With the guardian you can have more “oops” and the game is wat slower, while with the ele you don’t have “oops” moments because when you have that your simply dead. Also the play style of the ele is faster then the guardian (D/D ele that is).

Both classes are great and you can’t really compare them to each other. But if you want to do alot of PVE i say stick to the guardian. If you want to do WvW then go for ele.

@Tap Skis,

What dye colors are you using?

I had the same problem. Some characters are allowed for the website but not for the game client. Very annoying because for most of my games i have a password thats made up of random numbers, letters and alt codes. (very hard to hack even brute force will take long)

The best thing you can do is make a balanced build between glass canon and tank. I run with 2700-2900 armor (depending on weapons) and my greatsword auto attack hits for 1000 – 1100 – 2000 dmg.
And with the food buff you won’t go down at all. I had my moments when the food buff ticked almost as good as AH with Staff skill #5.

Well i love our elite skills (except renewed focus). When the enemy is pounding your gates stand next to it and use your elite skill to put everyone down and doing 3k dmg.
The healing is also nice i use the #1 allot when i jump into an enemy zerg :P Nothings more fun then seeing 10 people hitting you when you just walk away

Cruzyo.7304:

sometimes i dont understand FS…

we’re on FR borderlands and hit bay with a treb, but instead of fighting FR we fight FS that try to take Briar instead of going for hills?

and then even some of you try to use poor methods like bugging into briar (caught one of your mesmers)…

We as FS players also didn’t understand the commander. So most of us didn’t even followed him.

I can tank everything in CoF dungeon without using dodge (except flameseekers (the one with the flamethrower)). Going full bunker to tank is bad. You need to find balance between tankyness and dps (crit for food healing helps alot).

Well i think removing the cap completly would be bad. In the long run WvWvW would be ele, necro only because of the large AOE attacks they have.
Guardian, thiefs, warrios would become useless because they would die to fast because not having great AOE.

So i say no to the no cap. A group of 5 ele’s would be OP like hell (1 have seen meteor shower hit for 3k) because with a little bit of timing they could defend a broken wall against and big zerg.

But i got a little solution. Let the player decided how much players it can hit with a max of lets say 10.
It will work out like this. Meteor shower will do overtime and when everything hits 10k dmg. So if the player decides that he would hit 5 players then every player could be hit for 10k / 5 = 2000dmg.
But if the player want’s to hit 10 players his max damage would be (10k / 10 = 1000dmg).

Shakki.3219:

Nope we’re losing guilds all the time, we were just bored and tried something new :|

Well that explains alot but don’t do it again. Its anoying as hell :P

Just out of curiosity did UW get some new guilds? Because yesterday evening i have seen some new tactics of UW (spawning camping our spawn with a massive 40+ zerg.) and i haven’t seen this before by UW.

Why? just why? This will mess up so much. There is a reason that vabbi is a low tier server. Low tier servers are mostly balanced in matches so all 3 server have fun. Now you come and mess it up.

It’s the same as FC Barcelona stop playing in there current competition and will move to the amateurs.

Really a shame and show wat kind of guild you are.

So glad when this battle is over. DE fights with zero honour.
Even 1vs1 they have zero honour and need there friends to help the out.
And about the pet thing above. You did the same with elementist (even more worse).
So DE have fun in the next tier because you allready have Tier 1 mentality.

DE is fighting strong this week. Also it seems from my point of view (FSP player) that its more DE vs FPS with some UW. The DE is constandly putting presure on FSP but not on UW.
The sad part is the night capping. And i know it is a valid tactic but that’s the big reason why you are massively infront. Also i have heard that the DE server had some reinformance from so Top guilds of higher Tier servers. Don’t know if this is true or not.
But i most say the DE is way better then before. And FSP is getting worse by the day. Im a commander and playing as a commander i feel like playing total war games with some really bad AI. (Told my zerg to go left, They all go right).
Other then that i hope that this week will go fast because there isn’t that much fun as the servers are not that greatly balanced.

Nope thiefs are not OP just watch this

But other then that everyone knows that right now in WvWvW thiefs are overpowerd as hell. There is no other class that can do the same as a thief with so many easy escape tricks.

PVE/Dungeon – mace/shield – staff
WvWvW – hammer – staff

Its totally normal when a product is allready on the market for a couple of weeks/months/years that i will do promo stuff like giving things for free when you buy it.
Its called “getting new customers”. But if you think you got screwed over. Just wait a year and you can buy this game for just $10,-

Sigil of Leeching – steal health (975) after swapping to this weapon.

Maybe you can combine a combination of sigils. As i don’t know what class/weapon setup you have. (Lets take warrior for example, put in your offhand sigil of leeching (is has a 10sec internal cooldown) and in your main hand sigil of blood, You then have an oppertunitie to heal decent just by swapping weapons).

(i don’t know for sure if sigils proc on offhand weapons when you don’t use (#4, 5) and just spam auto attack)

Dear Anet,

I was getting some emails of login attempts from China so i changed my password.
In my new password i had a ALT code (?) while this is legit for forum login i cant login in the game client.
Now i have changed it back to a password without ALT codes so i can play again but i would like to have my difficult password.

How to reproduce:
- use a password with ALT code 1988 (?)

i totally agree. Was a nice balanced week of fighting. Ofcourse some servers got more numbers during certain hours but in the end it was a nice balanced fight.

Wicked.5479:

AoA did leave FS last week and we have nowhere close as a guild with 400+ members that actually do WvW.
i think the biggest guilds would be blos and DW and i only see them with groups up to 15 or so.
basically what im saying is FS has become just as much a pugserver as any other.
hell i think AA is the biggest wvw-guild in all of these 3 servers.
and dont blame other servers for your own lack of people.
i did that with FS aswell in the biginnning but its no use, sooner or later you will end up in the tier u belong.
FS had to drop 7 tiers for that to happen.
we have been outmanned on every single map for the last 2 months, and now we finally have an sort of even match. (mostly with UW, RoF is indeed lacking ppl)

Don’t forget that GoT is getting stronger by the day. While the most players of GoT don’t alway’s play WvWvW we have a couple of days a week when we have around 30 in WvWvW.

There isn’t anything funnier then when you see are warrior go down on his knee, Roll forward, pull wall of reflection and see him kill its self.

Was fighting on the top of the south gate at Hills, I was playing a Norn Guardian (staff/mace) Armor (dark/gold).

Yep that was me! Think our fight could’ve lasted for hours with our healing, so maybe it’s a good thing your teammate showed up and finished it

Well yeah i think we would just die of getting bored. But real good fight nice show of skill.

Vicarius.6438:

SintLucifer.4206:

Also had a great fight against a d/d elementist. Fight was very close to bad that after 3 minuts a teammate came up to kill him. And as respect to the elementist i did the /bow animation near his body. Not to humiliated him but as a token of respect for the fight.

I think that was me, after we tried to take Hills and got wiped. Good fight indeed, hope we’ll meet each other on the field of battle again and finish what we started

Had some great and epic fights yesterday evening. There isn’t anything more epic then when 3 zergs fight each other.

Kyosji.8961:

I’m actually more interested as to what name you were using that was ‘inappropriate’. Your forum name is in no way offensive, because besides popular belief, Lucifer is a common name an many countries, and flagging it as offensive would be an act of discrimination. I would seriously put in a complaint about that.

The name used was “SaintLucifer”. So in some point i can see that it is inappropriate. But i think that people that get offended aren’t even allowed to play games because of there religion. Also been using that game for more then 10 years and this is the first time i get a message the it is inappropriate.

But i think that players just reported me because i was wearing the commander sign in a PVE event.

@Maloki,

Don’t get me wrong still loving the WvWvW but demotivation kicks in when you try every time so hard to attack/defend and the french zerg just bulldozer in. Because then you don’t lose because of skill but just because for every friendly player you have they have 5 enemy players.

There are other ways to play wvwvw than playing zerg vs zerg. Granted not every profession can do this but about half of em definetly can.

Ofcourse this is possible. But when a enemy zerg is ringing the door of you keep and you don’t have enough players or atleast half. You gonna have a bad time.
And attacking towers/keeps is almost impossible when the enemy has zerg running around with 5times more players.

Some people say that commander in PVE is nothing more then e-kitten. Well oke but what about legendary and Cultural T3 gear? Is that even more e-kitten? Do people that hate the Commanders also hate these players?

SintLucifer.4206:

Well that will be bad. Because in WvWvW you kinda need a commander and not everyone will be in your guild.

Read the title of this thread.

But your solution would be that only players of the guild could see your commander title. And my response was that it would hurt the WvWvW alot. And i know the title says PVE because i made it. But the point is that it will make commander title useless if you play wvwvw of pve. Because even in PVE it could be usefull

Allready had a discussion within our guild i we should move. But we have a large PVE population so that might be a problem to move 150+ players to a new server.

And its not because i want to join a winning server. I play WvWvW because i want to have some epic fights. But when you join a borderlands and take over the command of an other commander (he was leaving) and your “zerg” is just 7 players you got to wonder if its even fun to fight. (this was during primetime!)

A simple solution would be to make the commander icon visible only to people representing the same guild. Considering players can join multiple guilds in GW2, it would make it easy for those interested to ask in map chat, join, get the icon displayed, do the events, and then leave. They could also limit their chat to the guild channel.

Well that will be bad. Because in WvWvW you kinda need a commander and not everyone will be in your guild.

The part i don’t get is why commanders do get so much hate. The only difference between them and normal players is the blue icon.

The best solution would be i guess to have an option to turn of commander icons for yourself. Because when i join an event lets say a dragon event. I alway’s see some players ask where it is. I just simple put my Commander title on so they have a beacon on the map where to go to.
