So I used up the last of my hard earned commendations on a 2nd Durmand’s Pen as I could not see another defensive slot PVT accessory on the list. I was able to equip two of the exotic Soldier’s Field Guide at the same time but not the Durmand’s Pen. I for one feel that this is unfair as there was no in-game warning to tell me that this would be the case. I feel that I deserve a refund of my 12 Guild Commendations.
We used to be on T8 server, Devona’s Rest, until we started getting more competitve and then we moved to Tarnished Coast. We disbanded around October and have just now began to start again.
What we can offer you:
*A drive to constantly improve
*Channel in the Tarnished Coast Mumble
*WvW runs every night
Requirements:
*Must get on Mumble during runs
*Come to at least 3-4 runs per week. 5pm-7pm PST (Server-Time)
*Have a drive to constantly improve
*Be able to take constructive criticism
*Must come to guild run if you are online during it
To join:
Whisper/Mail Lableuberry, The Flamewielder, Twitchtip or apply to our website, once we get that finished >.<
If you are looking for the best guild, or the largest guild in the game, that is not us. If you are looking for a guild who’s drive is to constantly improve, then that is us.
If people are considering the Orb Buffs to be considered an unfair advantage in a GvG, how do people feel about the World vs. World buffs? I don’t know them all on the top of my head but I do think that one gives you extra HP. Wouldn’t those be considered an unfair advantage as well?
I don’t think I plan on running with multiple GPU’s at a time. I will look more into detail with the PSU’s however, I need some more information before I finalize my decision.
Over the i5 and i7, it looks like there is a lot of controversy over it everywhere so that may take a while to take a side on. At first I went with the i7 because I wanted a powerful build but then when I finished I realized that the price was just way too high and I needed to edit the build a bit to reduce the cost.
Keep in mind this is my first PC build so don’t expect anything that great! :P
I bought Guild Wars 2 about 9 months ago hoping that my existing PC could handle the game, boy was I wrong. My computer runs this game at about 2-5 FPS, somehow I am still playing with it.
So I started to look into building my own gaming computer that can run games very well but at the same time is very affordable, here is what I came up with:
I didn’t put any RAM into the build because I have 8gb of RAM in my current computer that I want to put into this new build and put back in the old 4gb of RAM. I still need to find out if it will be compatible with this new build however.
I have read the reviews for all of the components but still would like further insight on these topics:
•How long will this build last?
•Is there any way to reduce the price of this build without losing performance?
•Should I go for the i7 processor or the i5?
As of now I don’t have an exact budget on the build but I would really like for the build to not exceed $1,000.
There is an easy way to counter this strategy, all you need to do is have Guardians place Line of Warding and Sanctuary on the tower/keep/castle portal entrance, preventing them to pass even in Vapor Form and Vengeance.
Well it seems in the bottom two pictures the same person is firing the arrow carts through the tower so it may possibly be a zoom hack. I cannot verify, nor am I in the Borlis Pass server.
Devona’s Revolution [DRev] is recruiting active players into our guild. We are a WvW oriented guild that uses advanced techniques to overcome greater numbers. We are a friendly community looking to expand. We do not tolerate rude or disrespectful behavior. Mail or whisper Lableuberry to get invited into the guild.
Hello! I recently created a guild called Devonas Revolution [DRev]. We’re a WvW oriented guild looking for new members. If you are interested in joining just whisper Lableuberry. Thank you!
[DRev] is recruiting players who are interested in learning more about the WvW aspect of the game. We are a semi-hardcore guild in the server of Devona’s Rest. My goal is to create one of the most well known guilds in DR. Visit our website at www.devonasrevolution.enjin.com and apply to join today!
I recently transferred to Devona’s Rest just yesterday and so far I love it. Like the person above said, the people are friendly and do not run around in gigantic zerg-balls. We seem to have a disadvantage with numbers but with that small amount of people we manage to do a lot.
I think that they should keep contesting waypoints the same since it’s already game-breaking enough to have waypoints in World vs. World. In fact, I probably would assume that you’re part of a server that has the other team backed up to their third of Eternal Battlegrounds -.-
I think it would be great if you could look into the North American Tier 8 matchup. There are almost always poor matches in Tier 8 and I think that this needs to stop.
Journal Entry 1: 3/26/13, Krakrabbit has arranged an alliance with Eredon Terrace and did not tell me about it. I am the leader of a somewhat major guild!!!!!!!
Another reset night ruined by Sorrow’s Furnace. ArenaNet really needs to acknowledge that Sorrow’s Furnace is not Tier 8 material, their numbers are far more superior than ours. They need to go now, we cannot wait any longer, 10 weeks is enough!
Yes this can all be frustrating, to become burned out from having to put out more effort than usual to hold objectives/take objectives. But look on the brightside from this whole experience. Use this time to hone a style your own: be if fast and very mobile guerrila forces, staunch and stubborn band of defenders who learn where to place untargetable siege/unique places for siege to defend.
I get burned out amd frustrated, but after a little break (this can help) it can help with the frustration and burned out feeling. But in the long run i take these many months of being outnumbered (from DR->KAIN->SF) [not complaining] it helped make me and those who tend to mob up around me when i roam/defend better skirmishers, and to help teach siege placement, and funny ways to use the flame ram for defense.
So in the end it can be annoying, but eventually you get back up and continue moving forward as playstyles evolve, and you can help train people.
Sidenote: tempted to join the vanguard, i love roaming, but i think its time to have squads running around
You are in luck! I have taken over the Vanguard after the old leadership jumped to BP(RIP Meilin and Rhulian) and I have turned it into the Vanguard Initiative [FCVG]. We are looking for squad members and leaders, as well as all wvwers to join the militia. Hail FC!
Is FCVG an actual guild or is it just an alliance guild used to communicate with each other?
I have notice ET has been having a lot of potential points during the mornings in Eastern Standard Time, maybe that’s the reason why FC is behind ET now.
Just an idea I have been thinking about, I think it was mentioned on another post. The idea was that if one server is winning by a certain amount of points that the two losing servers become allies and can go into each others fort’s, see them, share a chat channel, and unable to attack one another’s forts until the point spread becomes more even. I, personally, favor this idea and would like it to implemented with modifications of course.
You know what makes me want to quit on this issue? Its that if you look through these WvW threads you’ll see a Dev as posted on nearly every weekly higher tier thread, but on T8 where we are having trouble with numbers, ratings and over all not having fun with what we all love is being ignored. Does that sound fair? No no it doesn’t. I am soon going to stop playing WvW until the math gets fixed, SF outnumbers ET and FC put together most days, and it just isn’t fun, I am fine with being outnumbered, I am used to it by now, but I know SF deserves a match up that will keep them having fun, give them a challenge, and get them out out of FC/ET’s hair. Fix WvW Anet for the good of the game fix the math, this system isn’t working any longer.
Just saw the score and i thought “wtf”
And SF is loosing points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loosing points (or staying flat) as our “reward” for curbstomping is becoming the new normal for us.
The week before last (2/22-3/1), we won by 126K points, but lost -51.919 rating. Even though we won by a significant margin, we nearly lost the most amount of points out of any NA server (NSP slightly edged us out at -52.663 when they lost their match). Other servers who won by similar margins (or by smaller margins) gained points.
Last week, we won by 163K points, but lost -0.122 rating. Other servers who won by similar margins gained a significant amount of rating.
Seriously, this is getting ridiculous. How much more do we have to curbstomp to get anywhere??
DaBleuberry, if you are established on your server then simply rally your forces behind you. Get as many as you can together and flip a map as quickly as possible. Don’t worry about upgrading keeps/towers but constantly be on the move and switch maps often. Keep the other 2 servers guessing where you will hit next. Eventually you will catch them unprepared and on a more level playing field.
It will take some time but once word gets out that you can be relatively effective using guerilla tactics you will marshal even more. This is really all you can do if you are that outnumbered. Keep in mind at all times…..a group of 30 working in concert via voice communications can take out a group twice that size in the field.
Endeavor to persevere.
I wish you well.
I think I may try this. Thank you so much for this idea!
You should just transfer somewhere that you can have fun at. Server pride is one thing, but sticking it out when you are not enjoying the game for months on end is just insanity. Those serious about WvW should face the fact that Ferg is dead, and move on, that is if you want to actually enjoy the game.
I know it’s sad, but it’s true.
I cannot leave Ferguson’s Crossing, I have made too many friends here and already have established myself in the server. I know it may seem crazy to you but, I am not leaving.
At the lower tiers, where there is a disparity of players, is to normalize the max number of players based on the server with the lowest population in the server.
So instead of 200 v 200 v 75 it’d be more like 125 v 125 v 75. Not exactly a pretty solution, but I’m sure you aren’t drawing player interest when they get stomped again, again, and again. Once you start keeping towers and pushing offensives, more people will join, and you can increase your artificial cap.
That’s great for the low pop server, but sucks for the other server(s) who can’t get into WvW because the pop cap is limited to the lowest common denominator. It’s a no-win situation. And how would you do it? Overall pop? What about the disparity in times of day? For example, my server has great numbers during North American prime time, but we have almost no coverage during night (and thus we lose in points to the night coverage teams who get 600 point ticks for several hours). In that scenario it would suck for everyone because the pop cap would be so low, or it wouldn’t work because times of day isn’t considered.
Unless ArenaNet can add it only to effect the Tier 8 in NA servers and Tier 9 in European servers to make them balanced without destroying the upper tiers.
As most of you World vs. World players, I look forward to Friday nights to play what the closest thing to balance in WvW ever gets, I think of strategies of what to do and of the mistakes I made the previous week and overall I have a great time. But on this specific Friday, my WvW reset experience was ruined due to my server being blown out by Sorrow’s Furnace and Eredon Terrace and this will most likely happen for the following weeks as well. We tried all we could but their brute numbers could not be stopped. Tier 8 can become really frustrating for dedicated World vs. World players and I think that if ArenaNet could take the time to read this and maybe rethink the math behind WvW, that would make all the difference. I love WvW, it’s all I do in this game. I am not blaming anyone for this, but it needs to be fixed.
~ Thank you to all the people who took the time to read this.
I think that Ferguson’s Crossing and Eredon Terrace is starting to get better in World vs. World. On Wednesday, Ferguson’s Crossing managed to capture Stonemist Castle twice. Sadly I don’t have screenshots.
Do not join Sorrow’s Furnace, for they already have enough people in their server. Come to Ferguson’s Crossing or Eredon Terrace instead. The only thing keeping those two servers behind is the gigantic difference in numbers between the servers. Join FC or ET and help us give Sorrow’s Furnace a beating in the weeks to come.
I’m already in Ferguson’s Crossing but for some reason your words have inspired me to try and make a difference in World vs. World. If you would like to help me make it happen then think about joining The Ferg Mob [TFM] once you arrive. Just mail Lableuberry for an invitation.
Whenever my server is being spawn trapped I try and urge them to follow me to the alternative exits that I have never seen be spawn trapped, alas, no one listens so I take matters into my own hands and raise a group of my guildies to create a flanking force and allow the others to rush. You guys should try this too if your server is being spawn trapped.
Consider transferring to Ferguson’s Crossing, we are the 24th rank in WvW and we could use some more people. If you would like some help getting started in the server I suggest you join The Ferg Mob [TFM] whisper or mail me in game to get an invitation. My in game name is Lableuberry
Having fought both FC and ET, I must say that transferring to either of those servers is a very good thing. They have community, talent, and most things you could want in a server. I shudder to see the day either of them ever leave T8.
Also, Detharos, keep plugging away. You are not forgotten. and if you see a certain asura thief of TFM, say hi for me.
I like the idea about paying gems to transfer into the higher tier servers and get rewarded for going to the lower tier server but one thing I think that could possibly be a flaw is creating an imbalanced match if a lot of people plan on transferring to one certain server.
Thirty people I do not find to be enough people fora squad, I often come across times where my squad is completely full and no one else can join. I also would like to see a feature allowing me to see who is in my squad.
FC: I really don’t like to say this, but did a lot of your commanders leave or take a break? There doesn’t appear to be much cohesion at all, except for once in a great while.
Most of our server’s commanders are just done with World vs. World from what I can tell. I have noticed a drop in presence of one of our largest guilds Warzone [WZ] and we have also lost the guild [TTA] they are moving to Borlis Pass. Sometimes I feel like I am the only commander on the server
I am a thief and I agree that backstab thieves are overpowered. I have not seen this first hand because I use a dagger/dagger condition damage build but I have been killed instantaneously by a thief with a backstab build.
The Ferg Mob [TFM] is a casual WvW oriented guild in the server of Ferguson’s Crossing. We are looking for new, dedicated members to join us. We have two commanders within the guild. If you would like to join please reply to this post stating your in game name and we will invite you as soon as possible. We have cookies!
I used to be in Kaineng, so I will try and help you out. I think you should join up with Rethisis [RE]. I am not sure about their leaders name but I do know one who can invite you. Message Kiridono. If you are in Oceanic time zone whisper Chaster The Scarred to join [SoS]. They have separate sub guilds for just about everything.
