Guild Wars 2

you have balls taking 5 men into a group of 50…

I’ve powerleveled one of my alts from 10-80 just to see how long and how much it’d cost in total with my own guide from previous attempts. Took me just over 10hrs and cost around 50g.

However i already had large excess of mats and unfortunately screwed up with my guide at one point, so had ended up buying more than i originally planned.

Its all fun and games until Kaineng lags out the server with their population capping zergs.

Irony coming from a server that most times puts out 40+ man zergs as well.

I think Murderin plays in the Oceanic time, I doubt they have 40 man zergs running around all over the place at that time but if they do then it’s good news, to my ears anyhow.

As far as NA times goes.Last night in FA BL was good times. Lots of supply draining offensives, huge battles and just plain out great fun.
The battle for Hills keep was a prolonged battle where TC applied pressure all over the map in an attempt to keep FA defenders moving and draining supply rebuilding walls/gates and seige.
Special thanks to RET for showing up in force to hold Hills keep as long as you did.We hope to see you guys again this evening.

True TC doesn’t have 40+ man zergs running during oceanic time, however the incident in question was during US time and definitely more that 40 TC running around outside bay.

A certain unnamed source from Kain who recently moved to our server has verified all this information. They are quite outspoken about this farming alliance, but certain folk wanted nothing to do with it.

I applaud their disdain for such awful abuse of the wxp system.

A certain uname source from FA who recently moved to our server has talked about how FA have all but given up on the matchup as long as KN doesn’t win. They are quite outspoken about this, but certain folk wanted nothing to do with it

I applaud their disdain for such awful abuse of the points system.

You see what i did there? Pretty disappointed with someone from FIST, having run with you guys in he past

man not even kidding TC and FA are ganging up on Kaineng on EBG. Both TC and FA are ONLY attacking Kaineng. This is just plain dirty. Bring it on we won’t give up we will keep defending EBG from both these servers RISE and CO wont give up on ya.

Really great fights CO and Rise, can’t believe you won’t let go of that last keep lol. FA came at us a few times but we have two guilds Flux and TTC holding that side of the map. You saw the siege we had there when you tried to rush Pang

Really great communication tonight in EB from all TC guilds. Special thanks to Nightlight and Kendrick for not just being great commanders but great people as well.

Lol, i found it borderline embarrassing. TC and FA took turns over 1-2hrs trying to cap the keep. At no point did you guys engage each other and neither came close to capping it as well. Hell, i doubt TC would’ve made it into the outer courtyard by themselves if it wasn’t for FA golem rush breaking down the outer gate.

Nothing personal really, you think you did well and i managed to pickup a tonne load of badges from FA and TC. Overall great fun and props to RISE and CO (impossible to put in any order), for organizing the defenses.

Btw my opinions are my own and have nothing to do with the server.

I’d like to see these rules you speak of. Otherwise your whole argument doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

Is duelling constructive to the ppt in wvw? no. Is this against the rules? no.

Isaac.6041:

ND better known as “Always Die” must be losing a lot of gold having to transfer around so much. How many servers have they transferred off of now?

Aside from this? Just 1 iirc, and that was before paid transfers. Nice try though.

As stated above, more emotes- taunts, dances. However, for now im happy to spam candy corn for the vomit emote in wvw.

Also, although I’m no fashion designer, i don’t need to be to know that the wvw armour looks are definitely not worth their price in badges.

Hi, I’m wondering if theres any cross-server dungeon guilds out there with the aims of having stable dungeoning parties. Thanks

Anets response: We’ll get there when we get there. /close thread

It’s not hard. Finding a decent pug group for CM is.

And people wonder why most pugs in this game are hardly sociable and barely talk to each other.

SoPP.7034:

I recommend that people go into WvW armed with Fraps, or similar. Record these unusual events and upload to utube, then link it here.

In game report measures are mediocre at best and sending any recorded info. to ArenaNet doesn’t guarantee a fix. The best we can do is educate the community who will in turn place pressure on ArenaNet to do something about it.

Nice idea although your more likely to be infracted for posting exploits. Anet prefers to pull the wool over our eyes and say their doing something about it.

I smell a nerf coming along. Reminds me of the old CM story farming. Now look at it, you’ll be lucky to find a group. This is why we can’t have nice things.

maddoctor.2738:

I got 5000+ achievement points just yesterday with only 46 points in Agent of Entropy. So it certainly IS doable.

What the problem is, is that agent of entropy is “infinite”. Meaning after a certain amount of salvaging the ahievement points in this tier will reset allowing players to loop this cycle. You don’t really believe that 6/200 salvaging gives 46 points?

Someone exploited this and came onto the forums to give himself a pat on the back for reaching 20k achivement points.

i dont even…

Kholer is easy it gets boring. It gets even more frustrating when running with pugs who constantly get downed by his pull.

Lowered pop. caps from “Full” status to “Very High” with transfer stacking. Not to mention this idea of blackouts by tier 1 servers to get more people in when they were already full to begin with. Cant tell if this is an oversight more by the players or anet.

Just gonna drop this too from Habib Loew:

Hi all,

Queues are per map, per team – so there is a queue for TC players on the Eternal Battlegrounds and a different queue for TC players on each Borderlands, and a different queue for each of the other teams on each of the maps.

During the time it takes for players to change maps it is possible for there to be a queue even if there are less players in a map than the maximum capacity because the players taking up those empty slots are still “in flight” between maps. It’s also possible for a slot to take a while to fill if e.g. people see the queue pop, wait until the progress bar for the automatic transfer is almost empty, and then choose to renter the queue. At that point the system will move on and look for other players to fill that slot but all of that takes a bit of time. We’ve watched the queue numbers a lot and generally it’s only a few slots that are in this reserved state at any time.

Just to be sure I ran a quick database query for the last few days and all the queue numbers look quite reasonable.

So I don’t know where in the map those players are when you’re looking for them, but they’re definitely in there somewhere!

Am i missing something here? Why do people need so much badges of honor with the exception of a legendary? Even now i have over 2k badges banked up in the hopes that I might one day be able to purchase decent exotic (or ascended) wvw gear instead of the rubbish gear that is currently available.

Talissa Chan.7208:

If you want the badges the only options to join a zerg and roll around or just do what most of us seem to be doing and just walk away from the game.

Actually you get more badges if you run in small groups. Nice try though.

3 rams built on a non-upgraded tower… none of them reached the gate.

How about try to make the best out of it

Is that what you were told when you were punched in the face as a child? It doesn’t need people to just grin and bare with it, it needs a good fixing.

Eastevil.1534:

Ever reported and blocked someone who did it before? You can still see them play online for the next week.

Checked this myself. Reported bots, teleport hackers and griefers. Added them to friends and seen them disappear. Conspiracy theories are unwarranted.

Dunno how you think bots/teleport hackers are the same as legit players w/o 3rd party software. The highlighted names in the block list doesn’t lie. Try again.

Reporting people who kick you at the last boss doesn’t do kitten. Anet only tell you to do it to give you the illusion that something will be done about it. Ever reported and blocked someone who did it before? You can still see them play online for the next week.

Anet sold out their manifesto and couldn’t give a kitten about what the playerbase thought about it. I wonder why they’ll care what you think. Just saying.

again in WvW your are supposed to be equal that is why everyone is brought up to 80 if an entire zerg is running that they are far superior then its not tactics or numbers the fight will go to whom ever has the food

If that was true wouldn’t we be using pvp gear?

Ah too slow.

WvW is not supposed to be equal, if that was true, as said, we would be in pvp gear, food and potions would be disabled, etc. Level scaling is only there to give lower levels a fighting chance, not have it be “loloneshot” like every other game.

that is not true a theif can back stab one shot me when im scaled up to 80 on my guardian who is level 50

What’s your point? Like toast said “fighting chance”. Welcome to one of the reason’s why theives are one of the most complained about class in WvW.

vanzan.1250:

Do you really have anyone who plays wvw? Not just on casually but playing in 4 – 6 hour blocks, it just feels at times that at times you are not quite up to date with how things are in wvw

Ignorant posts like this make me wonder. A dev team w/o atleast 1 person in WvW? Im sure some of us have tried to take down that figure with the “anet” tag.

Aeneasx.1589:

EvilSardine.9635:

We actually stopped playing WvW in December because roaming around in a 5 person party wasn’t possible. Single enemies weren’t loading until they were in your face.

December was the WORST for culling. Ever.

DO NOT REVERT BACK TO THIS CULLING VERSION.

Agreed PLEASE ANET LISTEN to the community of people who are passionate about WvW but do not enjoy running in huge zergs.

Love how the people opposed to fixing culling are those who main thieves. I for one wont miss those groups of 3-5 thieves roaming in constant stealth.

nice video especially as i personally find spawn campers w/ siege disgusting. I hope karma bites magumma back in the kitten

Anet has already put forward there stance on this. Too many thieves being killed by AoE damage, so bye bye aoe damage.

lol this is NOT gonna work the way anet thinks it will. CoE is now gonna be dead for new players. I don’t have much problems on CoE, but most times i find myself alone kiting subject alpha whilst everyone is running back. Bye Bye PuGs, no more dungeons for you

LFG X em- lvl 80 only/warriors/guardians who can stay alive with atleast full exotics.

As an ele the only way i can counter a thief that is constantly in stealth is to drop AoE’s where he stealthed. In these forums, when people complain about OP thieves in stealth, one of constant advice you’ll get is to use AoE’s.

With AoE’s being nerfed, i feel like Anet is trying to say “too many thieves are dying, so lets increase their survivability by nerfing AoE’s”.

So to answer OP’s question. Yes, i do feel like i’m being listened to.

tluv.5821:

Collision detection wouldn’t work and would ruin the game AND WvW. We all know how the culling is in the game. How would like to running in WvW, and then randomly be stopped by nothing. Only to find out 30 seconds later it is a massive zerg? That would cause a lot of people to leave WvW all together. Collision detection is a terrible idea.

I’m only talking about WvW. It would be a terrible idea in PvE. And yes of course the culling should also be fixed. As long as there is culling everything you can come up with it bad. But in WvW when there is no culling then collision detection would give a lot of options that would make WvW much more interesting.

Culling should’ve been fixed months ago and yet isn’t, making this discussion pointless.

Elochai.1280:

You chose to live there. I have nothing against people living here or there. However, it was your choice to live there. Not everything runs well on a bad internet connection. That’s how it is.

lol i love this. Bad connection in gw2? WTB new RL location.

MarzAttakz.9608:

So where’s the synergy? I saw one gank, one “churning earth bomb”, plenty of backsides and a final gank. Clap Clap.

Nope only that one gank. The rest was just stroking his kitten. Congrats you did what any half decent player can do on flanking a group. But all in all, nice synergy on that 1 guy running away.

sostronk.8167:

So last night I go into my homeland to make sure we have 100% of the area before I plan to move to EB. But there are a group of guys in our homeland (less than 10), all from the same guild, who keep capping a supply point. Right next to the supply point is an invulnerable area (about 20 metres away), that they keep running to after attacking the supply point. They kept coming back and rallying on that point, so it was intentional.

In the end we had to camp the point for around 4 hours to stop them from capping it. Im not sure is this is intended? If it is an exploit, is it worth reporting and would Anet do anything about it?

Nothing new. Spawn campers whining they cant spawn camp. Yes i realize its not literally their spawn, but as you said, its 20m from their spawn point, and if it wasn’t intended the inv would’ve ended alot more closer to their spawn near the cliffs at the back of the supply camp.

I treat spawn campers and hackers both as scum.

One word. Hypocrite. You want people to be social towards you, but you don’t make any move to be social towards anyone else. If you real wanted to give team-play in WvW a go, you’d either play with friends or join a guild that was active in wvw.

You sound like the people on /m or /t who constantly spam “we should do this” or “can someone do that”. Rather than just talking it’d be better to take the initiative and get a group together (even if randoms) and do something.

And yes, i’ve managed to gain new friends just by whispering someone if they want to help take a camp or try ninja a tower on an outmanned map. But for what its worth, goodbye and farewell though i certainly wont miss you.

Alarox.4590:

Too much to disagree with.

This

Too much wrong in those 2 post i wouldn’t even know where to start. Culling crippled WvW, this will simply finish it off.

The main point of your post is that you want incentive to do something.

I think the two quotes that sum this up are “if its red its dead” and “go play sPvP”.

Amonde Daneren.2380:

It’s just you.

The system put in place by the developers has been carefully thought out… over a development time of 5 (FIVE) years. It has been iterated and reiterated upon, until it reached the current incarnation we see in the game.
Feedback from both Alpha and Beta testers has been astounding, and all of them agreed it was a great system and could see no shortcomings with it.

Thus, the only logical conclusion is that’s it’s just you.

Can’t tell if trolling or serious since I’m awful at picking up internet sarcasm.

Anyway back to topic, everyone seems to be a commander these days. Go to LA and you’ll see commanders you’ve never seen before in wvw.

BG has to earn it’s reputation back.

BG’s reputation is perfectly fine.

A world’s reputation is not based on the rantings of a handful of people posting continuously on forums that are read by less than 1% of the in-game community.

Lol those orbs would disagree.

No Walking.6349:

Well done IoJ…..I was in EBG for 10 minutes and saw you guys using speed hacks….and stealth hacks to hold a supply camp…we had 20 ppl on that camp and couldn’t take it cause of a speed hacker and perma-stealth hacker…..GG, go L2P

Lawl speed hacks. I’m sure theres better ways to get yourself banned for hacking like, hmm..i dont know glitching into keeps or hacking orbs.

Apparently thieves abusing the culling and perma-stealthing is now new and officially “hacking”. If you had 20 people and couldn’t cap the supply camp then you should of had time to atleast get some video footage or atleast a screenshot.

Morale of story… GG go L2P

Kissbel.3475:

Besides this………….

Not for nothing, But i think SOR got the best Mesmer hiding spots or you guys just suck at sweeeping sorry… but is funny how we take keep n towers with one Mesmer hiding & than try to say everyone is hacking lol – only because you dont know doesnt mean is a hack. talkign about cheating?

Love that mesmer that got stuck INSIDE our bay outer wall, definately great hiding spot. But then i dont know how he got there and he didn’t stick around either.

Kissbel.3475:

how about Blackgate I Isle of Janthir double teaming SoR? i got videos II prove it

Lawl.
