Guild Wars 2

AC damage slaughters players… fine by me. AC slowly destroys seige… that’s fine too. Heck make the AC’s do whatever you want, fine by me. JUST STOP THE KITTEN HACKING.

I know the default answer… report report report. Done that. Now the ball is in your court.

DB is the worst for hacking. Full stop. I don’t mind fighting a see a red and losing to numbers, but hacking cheaters… no thanks…

cya in a week!

I have been on Mags since day one. It appears to me that most of the old timers on our server are FAR more interested in GOOD fights than just the score. If there are good guilds out there, we don’t want ’em to bandwagon us, we want to FIGHT them.

I’ve read a lot of messages about Tier 1 skillz. SO WHAT. If they are skilled, then bring ’em. We want to fight them. If we get wiped, we will learn.

Nobody like blobs of crappy players rolling through the map. I would be delighted to learn that there are actually skills instead of just blobs at those higher tiers.

And if there are mad skills up there, well my money is on ’razi and paralda until those guys prove they are better.

just curious, using [dragons tooth] to attack arrow carts that are behind walls out of line of sight is an exploit correct?

same thing for [clusterbomb] and [phantasmal berserker]

i just want to make sure before i get upset with maguuma

Pretty sure every server have ppl doing that. i dont know what you are trying to get at.

Yeah, every server I have fought against except DB have only a few hackers. DB must train hackers because there were tons on that server and they seem, based on their threads, to be continuing that trend.

In any case, I know that hacking is not tolerated by any of the blue taco’s I follow on Mags. I think that folks should do as Anet has directed and that is report, report, report.

As a Maguuman I must say I am still thrilled with this matchup. I am delighted with the battles while roaming. I find that the quality of players is so much better than previous match ups.

I look forward to every time I play in WvW now.

I am thrilled with this matchup so far. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the roamers from ktown; very respectful and several good fights.

Looking forward to many more battles!

Yeah, dancing/laughing when one wins a 2+v1 never made sense to me. But not everyone does it. DB didn’t do it to me when it took 4+ to down me on my saunter to the jp.

Some people play for tears, I guess.

Their were several imbalanced tiers. Lots of whining about blowouts and “this isn’t fun” posts. Anet listened and is doing something about it.

Whether their action is right or wrong and whether it’s effective, we will have to wait and see. But I believe they are listening and appreciate the action on their part.

I don’t believe will have the huge migrations anymore due to paid moves which is a big plus for stability.

The OP is right. That isn’t fun. And as a Maguuman, I can state that it isn’t fun being on the winning side either in a blowout.

When the matches are closer then it is much more fun.

To clear the ‘combat’ status, I logout|character select. It sucks, but it is an option.

The are so many issues with being in ‘combat.’ One of the biggies for me, is not being able to view vista’s. So I had to use the logout | character select many times for that.

Don’t like the big zergs? I feel your pain. On Maguuma in T4 we regularly face huge zerg’s from CD, Ebay, DB, Yak’s Bend, etc.

Don’t like the outmanned buff? I don’t like it either, but we took second place almost all the time in T4 with outmanned buff.

But we experienced something when we were out manned and out gunned that you can’t get any other time. We had commanders that would look at that sea of red and say we can do this, we can win. PUSH PUSH PUSH!

Sometimes we were overrun, but we started winning. With the right attitude, improved tactics and great commanders we won against large numbers. And it was fun.

Whinning and complaining didn’t win us any battles when we were outmanned and I don’t think it will win any here. Even if it did it wouldn’t be fun.

So take it from experience. If you get outnumbered, stand up and fight. Listen to your good commanders and don’t quit. If you die, brush yourself off, get up and get out there again.

When the fair weather guilds leave, the true Maguuman’s will still be here and we will be having fun outmanned as usual.

On Maguuma we achieve the impossible… daily. We frequently face larger numbers and win through hope, grit, determination and tactics. Do we win all the time, no. Does it really matter, no. Because we experience that thrill, those emotions you don’t expect from a computer game.

We have zerg’s but we are not defined by them. We are united though. If you need help on Maguuma, you get it.

There are many fine servers out there, your choice won’t be easy.

I am getting this now too… My necro and mesmer are both in LA and can’t play. My thief toon in black citadel doesn’t have a problem

Folks that upgrade and siege keeps and towers should get some perks. Maybe after they do a certain number of upgrades it gets cheaper for them. Also, if they got some special rewards for upgrading and such.

Daily rewards on supply could be a horrible disaster. Misuse of supply would be a fun killer.

It’s cut and dry for me. If it isn’t fun, I’m not doing it. This is a game. There are too many games out there to play one that isn’t fun.

Right now things are fun. I don’t need to grind to have a level playing field in WvW. I also can grind if I choose to have the skin of a legendary or a dungeon skin etc. However, like many others, exotics is fine for me.

I hope they don’t make it so that I have to grind for Ascended because I won’t.

Yeah. Server pride here. I love maguuma. We take a beating and keep on ticking.

I enjoy WvW. PvE seems much less challenging in comparison. I would like to see new maps, though. I think EB is broke. Stonemist is critical and can counter treb every position (except one that I know of). The concentration of towers and keep on green in addition to the water gives them an unfair advantage. Blue and red are easy to take in comparison.

The BL is worse. If you take SW tower, you can take the whole west side yet SE tower is useless. East keep is hard to take and easy to defend. West is a joke. It was designed to fall. West can’t counter Trebs in garrison or SW.

The outmanned buff is not helpful for the player receiving it and only tips off the opponent that they can start squashing them. Give the outmanned person something of value. Make rewards for capping and defending double with the outman. Make their attacks do more damage or something. The outmanned buff seems like a PvE perk in a WvW environment.

There needs to be a mechanic to level player counts. If a server rolls in with huge numbers they can easily squash other teams with low numbers. I can’t imagine that is fun for either side. There is a scaling mechanic with bosses and champions, why not use a similar mechanic in WvW? Making a tougher gate or wall would not be fun, but maybe there can be some other fun mechanic? Keep lord rage (becomes champion boss) or some other type of thing? Maybe a random boss shows up on their side of the map and starts stomping stuff. Who knows? But there is stuff that could be added and changed to make if more fun.

Different maps and some outmanned leveling would be a nice start…

I can assure you, Ren, the negative Mag posters here do not represent the majority of Maguuman’s. I hope that at some point that will be more obvious.

We have had discussions about how to counter that bad rep, but I think our play and how we handle ourselves in the game will have to win over folks.

Thank you Ren.

The only reason I even mentioned policing members is because both in SW and W the attacks were coordinated with the siege. The mortar position was attacked because it was a strategic element of that particular attack.

I agree with you Guardian, report, screen capture move on. I was just frustrated because it was cheating and it wasn’t even ‘needed’ they were able to take it with their vastly greater numbers.

No matter who hacks on what team, it should be reported. No offense to legit CD members, we have played them a few weeks and I have never seen cheating before.

During an attack on West keep on Maguuma borderlands I was attacked while in inner defense with Light of Judgement (yes, the underwater attack) by a CD invader. This happened while we were using the mortar to defend against CD siege on the cliffs. I have reported it.

I don’t mind losing, but not by hacking. This same tactic was also used on us a few minutes earlier before we lost SW keep.

I don’t doubt that CD with their numbers could have taken the SW, but this hacking has to stop. If you are even remotely interested in playing fair, please police your members CD.

Thank you.

As a player on Maguuma I can say this week has been the least fun of the last several. I was on Friday during the initial pounding we received and was delighted at the competition. I thought we would have a spirited battle and would learn a lot.

That hasn’t turned out to be the case. But I have learned that we have tenacity and we kept up the fight, ultimately that decided the battle.

In regards to other elements, as a ‘guuman I wanted to voice my opinion….
—laughing etc at fallen players is not cool by either side. I don’t do it and don’t like it.
—waypoint camping is not cool by either side. I don’t do it and don’t like it.
—fighting in the jumping puzzle. I think there should be a gentleman’s agreement not to. If one emotes (wave, salute) I wouldn’t fight.
—In regards to exploits… None of the commanders I have served use them to my knowledge. If they did, I wouldn’t be a part of it and would jump to a different BL or just play PvE. It is far more fun to play against people evenly matched than it is to cheat.
—night/day capping. That is a part of the game. Having 24 hour presence is important. But even if one is out matched in a certain time slot that can be fun to. One would have to learn other tactics not normally employed during peak hours.

Anyway, for me it about having fun engaging conflicts. The people I play with appear to exhibit that same desire. So I think both sides should show up, play hard and have fun!
