Guild Wars 2

I have submitted a bug report in game and suggest everyone who see it does the same. I have known about this bug for at least a month. I hope they get it fixed soon.

I’m really surprised GoM has taken the backseat. I thought for sure with last week’s win we’d be all pumped up for some stomping. Guess a little challenge has scared all the little girls away.

Great battle for the orb in GoM Bl early this morning. Just wish our server would learn defense is important too!

GL YB and SoR.

Logic and objectivity are not strong points these days I’m afraid.

I would have to agree. Where are the server population numbers you are making your claims with? Without that data, any statement about transfers to our sever is conjecture. Conjecture is subjective and not objective. Once you are talking about subjective statements, logic is not an option.

Any updates on the score?

@Enerjak thanks for going to all of that trouble. I want the hacks removed as well. I hate that the few that are ruining a great community that is trying win honestly.

On a side note, I see GoM lost SM to Ebay at some point early in the morning. It must have been hacks :P <completely joking to add some humor to the post>

I always assumed the nodes were in the WvW zones for the players who do not PvE to get their daily/monthly achievement if they wanted.

WvW is a large scale PvP zone. It’s not intended to be a node farming map. Do your server a favor and follow Mattress’s suggestion.

Ralathar.7236:

This kind of thing didn’t happen at the start of the matchup at all. But it’s slowly gotten worse since the point reset until it’s down to this. They definitely gained population significantly. On top of their handful of hackers it’s really hard for others to compete.

The first round was a fairly even battle….

Also I want to clarify, night capping didn’t happen much till recently. The population surge and early morning capping while people were at work is a recent development. Because we got night capped a couple times then we put a stop to that crap so they found a time we could not be on and got a crapload more people as well.

What I have seen happening on GoM with regards to this issue is we are starting to get a few people who organize the same maps. If I go to EB, I see the same people calling out intel and rallying the masses. If I go to SF borderlands, I know I can find player X who is keeping the map focused on defense or calling out what to attack. Then we have a group of about 5 commanders that are coordinating. They agree who’s going to which map, what their objectives are and contact each other if some back up is needed on a map. These coordinated commanders seem to have their peak later in the night. Who knew our server could coordinate? :P

As far as I’m aware, there is no large influx of players to our server. I am guessing that we have some casual players jumping on the bandwagon when they see we are winning. The last match up was abysmal. Everywhere we turned was a wall of invaders coming to steamroll us. I can’t blame them for wanting to come in for a more inspiring experience.

Awesome battles tonight on SF BL for the Bay! Way to go SF for being so persistent. At one point we had SF on the north and Ebay in the south.

Great match up with you guys!

Quintosh.9613:

And did you also shoot with the sieges from time to time to prevent them from despawning? Too long inactivity = vanish.

I don’t believe this is true. The siege that was there before the ones I built were also unused and did not vanish.

They were all fully built.

Last night I placed and built more blueprints in Shandaran Hills Keep to prepare for an attack on the orb than I care to admit. Within in the hour 2 from inside the Lord’s room were gone and at least another 5 on the outside. I understand the lightning on the outside. But how is siege inside the Lord’s room disappearing?

It also seemed very odd to me that only the new siege I laid down was getting destroyed. All the older siege was still in tact…one would think if it was the lightning storm it would be more random and not just the new siege.

I’ve been wondering if there is a limit to the number of siege that can be placed in a keep/tower…anyone know?

Sounds like you had a blast fatboy! That’s what it’s all about!

For those interested in scoring, I found this great site.

Cain.9724:

The issue I think most people have is how “coincidental” the timing of the orb hacks were. GoM attacked etheron hills with an unorganized group and was easily wiped, population in the zone was slightly in their favor even though they had no keep in the SF borderland.

Twenty minutes later Dreaming Bay falls quickly, orb dissapears from our keep and immediately appears in that keep. Five minutes later GoM (primarily appeared to be the guild PRO) with 3-5 alpha siege golems steamrolls into the hills keep with a zerg that was now three times larger then the previous attack minutes earlier. After we wiped them, they leave the borderland.

Ten minutes later, the orb is hacked on another borderland and I’m assuming a huge zerg “magically” was there as well. These are not the actions of one “hacker”, its a coordinated effort by many people on your server.

I hail from GoM. I was in WvW all day Sunday running with various commanders. I am not aware, or ever have been, of a hacking scheme or plan on our server. Most of our population detests whoever is doing this on our server and wish they would stop. We have lost some of our strongest guilds due to this problem. Note we went down 4 in the rankings this week. Our reputation is damaged by the few.

I did witness someone from SF go inside the Bay take the orb with all gates in tact and not dying at the champion podium. I’m not putting any blame out there, but it would seem whoever is doing this orb hacking doesn’t pick sides. They are just getting a kick out of doing it, period!

Sprawl.3891:

i love how this thread has boiled down to server recruitment

I’m a true believer of “It never hurts to ask”. I know this week we lost one of our larger WvW guilds to transfer and it made a big difference. Would love it if for the next match up we had another strong WvW guild transfer in and hopefully we could at least have a balanced fight.

GoM could use some good leadership if you’re up for a challenge

I would like to suggest to Anet that they implement some sort of tool that allows a person to check which server a player has been active on.

I suggest this due to the many instances of spies and sabotage I’ve seen in WvW. I’d love to set up a VoIP for my server. But how does one verify that the player joining is not just a server hopper for his team? There needs to be a way to cull out the spies so the teams trying to work the honest way have a fighting chance.

When I’m running with a well organized group, I love WvW! I can’t get enough of it. When I’m with just a handful with no real purpose or direction it sucks.

I’d recommend trying a theif. I found that in WvW I’ve gotten used to all the evasive maneuvers. When I took my hunter in there I felt so vulnerable. I have started a theif and so far find it enjoyable.

Great guide!! I’ve been playing mesmer since the headstart and I still learned a few things.

I’d like to see a build video for a defense/support WvW build. I currently run mantra healing for one of my traits and use mantra of pain on auto attack. As long as I have a player (or gate during a seige) targeted I’m doing damage with each use and then a 2k heal during the recharge.

I’m going to have to play around a bit more with the torch and ethereal fields. But I really love the focus as OH weapon. Nothing more satisfying than seeing the invaders come flying off the wall I’m typically staff and sword/focus. My utilities change depending on what the team is doing. Ramming a gate calls for time warp. Supply camp raiding usually mass invisibility. Light fields for retaliation while toe-toe. Portals for moving golems and various other uses >:)

Again, thanks for your time and effort. +1

Vote for Sticky!

I run mantra healing with MoP on auto attack (ctrl+right-click to change auto attack), which is nice. I can evade attacks, focus on the mob/zerg around me as long as I have someone targeted I’m dealing damage and healing my team. Win Win in my book.

MoR is my main self heal and when not using other utilities I like to have MoRes charged too.

I’m not sure why people are complaining of charge time, it’s really not that difficult. You’re not stuck there in one spot during the induction. I’m always on the move rarely standing still. I rarely notice that they are charging.

I personally chose to use a mix of knights and carrion (vitality + toughness). Weapons are P+T+V and jewelery P+Pre+CD. I run mantra healing using the mantra of pain as my auto attack. My weapon sets are staff and sword/focus. I really love running this build. I’m very survivable and a great support character for my team in WvW.

Rainzar.6905:

why would anyone transfer to another server there currently up against in WvW except to ride the wave and enjoy the bonuses or do something dodgy, logically shouldnt Anet block people from transferring to servers there matched up against? at least until guesting is implemented for that odd situation with friends on matched servers.

I think this idea is a good compromise. Don’t need to block all transfers just the ones from/to servers a player is currently matched against. Although, that still won’t stop an person going to a server they are not matched up with to support a guild in their alliance.

Great post! Thanks for taking the time.

@Drakken I think Fox was in the right here. I for one hate people who exploit. I have reported exploits myself. The Magg fight has been made imposible thanks to people who were exploiting it. I’m an honest player that is being punished for the few, it’s frustrating.

bugged on Gate of Madness

See this post. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/crafting/Why-are-Karma-recipes-soulbound/first#post73609

Dev admits that they are looking into making them account bound.

LinseyMurdock.4165:

Agreed. They should be Account Bound. I’m looking at getting a fix for this into an upcoming build.

Awesome! Thanks

No word from the devs on this, at least acknowledgement? This is the only skill point I have left in this zone.

I don’t believe the guardian had anything to do with it.

I had to stand in front of it, only there could i get the [F] talk to the npc to start the challenge.

One side of the landscape is missing graphic. I can see right through it. Attached is screenshot with my location and missing graphic.

On my mesmer while underwater if I use her mantra of recovery, the sound does not play right. Not sure how to describe it. It sounds like it’s skipping and not playing through correctly.

I have the same problem with my female human with her winged set of armor. She’s got a section of her belly you can see right through.
