Guild Wars 2

Crickets… Bump!

Hi,

It’s been about two years since I’ve logged in and I’d like to get back into some serious wvw, although I’m completely lost with all the changes. I have several 80s, but want to stick to one and I’m looking for some advice. Basically, I’d like to be very well rounded in multiple play types – effective solo, small group and blob without the need for multiple sets of gear, etc. It would be a bonus to be effective in raid and fractals as well. I’ve had my eyes on a condi or hybrid thief or a healing Druid. Other 80s i have access to are warrior, guardian, engineer and necro. Obviously my gear and builds from back then are outdated.

I’m on Maguuma and looking for a small group to go up against the masses with. We used to run 5, zerg bomb and roam. A group to join up with would be splendid. By all means drop a line here or shoot me a PM.

I wonder why this was moved to the sPvP thread since it has 0 relevance here..

I want deathmatch, not to cap points!

They added death match arenas.

That is all.

3k is fine. Your stats could be a lot better though.

Me

fifteenchars.

Engi/ele/guard, in that order.

also you tin foil hat is falling off at the side

Get back to your blob, you’re needed

Perfectly said. I can’t wait until they get competition. The only reason people play this heap is the current lack there of.

Dude, if you have a problem with 3 silver and change plus a tad bit of memorization, I don’t know what to tell you…

I spend about 99% of my time in WvW and usually play the TP to make my $$$. I’m looking for some ideas of what people are doing nowadays to farm a decent amount of gold per hour. Any suggestions are appreciated!

A group of thieves can zerg bust over time.

Kill fringe players who stray too far from the zerg.

Intercept/kill players on the way too the zerg.

Use supply traps on the zerg.

If a group of 5 thieves work together over teamspeak, over a hour or 2, they can diminish the numbers in a zerg/put off players joining a zerg. After a hour or so ‘messing’ with a zerg, you can usually figure out the commander and start targeting them…

It requires patience and good teamwork but I have seen it done several times.

Unfortunately you have missed the point of this thread.

But I will tell you zerg busting groups that take 2 hrs to bust a zerg is a failure.

Not really, because you are also doing your scouting job, by shouting out the zergs location constantly to everyone on the map. You will no doubt have a zerg on the map too and often will wipe the opposing zerg or be at keeps/towers waiting for them. The times I have seen it done properly, that entire map has ended up your colour with the enemy server players on that map very demoralised by getting no easy loot and dieing all the time.

It works far better then having everyone in the zerg…

The key words are ZERG BUSTING

When did Noqq transfer to borlis? Stylii there?

DevonCarver.5370:

mjharrison.3209:

WVW needs a Darkness Falls. That is all.

But why?

Because it splits up the dominating zergs into two locations, while rewarding them at the same time.

I thought this was appropriate:

Totally agree. There’s a ton of potential, but they allocate resources to what brings in the $. This will be the first, last and only FTP model I’ll ever play, that’s for sure. If daoc’s population was better, I’d be there in a heartbeat. Even with their skeleton crew of devs, RvR gets more attention each patch than this has gotten since release. Unfortuately, this is the place to be at the given moment.

GrandmaFunk.3052:

Emerge.9640:

Sounds like you do a ton of pvdoor.

Mostly roam and defend towers

SS or it didn’t happen.

Maps way too small, zergs way too big

Personally I’d rather pay as sub over the FTP model any day.

Sleepyy.1598:

Been gone for around 4 months and STILL no new map or drastic changes? at least that I’m aware of?

I wouldn’t waste your time until there are some meaningful and impact full changes. Supposedly there will be “soon,” but I wouldn’t hold my breath. For many, wvw is a time sink until ESO and Unchained are out.

Joey.2769:

Why is it that I have to go broke if I want to play WvW but the PvE people this last few weeks have amassed enough cash to buy precursors? Change the supply camp claimers to champs and increase the quality drops in WvW.

1) Champs as camp supervisors if a horrible idea, making camps more difficult to solo will only raise the cost of average WvW play.

2) quality of drops/rewards in WvW has been going up steadily for the last 6 months. I’ve already gotten 2 ascended rings from rank chests and average about 3-4 exotics at week from straight drops.

3)through rank chests, badge drops and yes, even the puzzles, siege blueprints are trivial to obtain in sufficient numbers. unless you’re dropping 20+ rams a day, you no longer need to spend any money to stay supplied. You can even SELL your unused siege blueprints on the TP now, yet more income for WvW players.

based on this, I don’t see how any player, even a total noobie, can actually go broke in WvW since the ONLY sinks are armor repair costs and upgrades.

so don’t die as much and let other pay for upgrades if you’re struggling that much to keep your gold count from dropping.

Sounds like you do a ton of pvdoor.

I’m currently sitting at 82/83. The last one I need is to change attunements w/ an elementalist. I have 6 char slots full of 80s so I can’t finish this unless I buy gems, which I won’t do for this reason. Is there any way around this?

Jscull.2514:

Moving our 5 man as a last effort not to quit the game. Name some places where small mans fight small mans daily. We understand the 80 mans are around, dont care well avoid them. We dont want to zerg bust, we want other small mans to legit fight. Ones that dont add to 10 when they lose? Do those exist? Please advise.

Your inbox is full.
Also, you might be aware of this website, but you can set up fights here (and it ranks you): gw2gvg.com.

Other than the 5 mans who xfered over, t8 seemed to be a ghost town..

Oink is dead =(

I’d be interested if you were on a higher tier server. The action is just too slow on off peak hours.

Tots.3056:

Ya well I Zerg harder than BS, PAXA, OINK, SPCA, AND ADQQSTY COMBINED.

Last I checked the OINK bros quit circa May

Holy kitten.. Wouldn’t surprise me if this was intended.

Does anyone know if this is a known bug?

Yeah I’m positive. Happens when I use the pet F3.

When I hit my bind for this pet action, my curser becomes a ground target reticle. Is this happening to anyone else?

I’m a pretty happy camper in t7

zastari.1730:

80-90 online at once? You’re going to screw up whatever match you go to in T5-T7. I’d suggest waiting a week, and if Kaineng is dying enough to go to T4, you’d probably want to go to Sea of Sorrows and bring them up to a well-rounded T3 server.

Don’t bring logic and reason into this thread.

T7 is the better choice!

Npac.3476:

Rez.2578:

Been really fun so far though my ego is taking a huge hit from losing to small groups that we sometimes outnumber. Thanks all!

Been great fighting you Invi guys…and looking forward to doing battle with OINK soon…also props to BS for putting up some serious fights!

The plan is working boys…lets keep it up!

You guys coming to T7 or are speculating DR will naturally drop to t8?

Azaruil.3406:

Emerge.9640:

You guys should come to t7. Between DR and NS there’s already 7-8 roaming guilds.

NSP only has 1 small-man guild, spca. All the other self-proclaimed ones only small-man until they lose at which point they keep coming back with more until they can win.

Xoxo and splat run groups, too.

We usually just run the five of us or less. Unless the action is way too zergy.

dice.4968:

Can we have a shared WvW rank for all of our characters please. Right now its really annoying for ppl that like to play more than one character.

The question is how much do you love arrow carts

You guys should come to t7. Between DR and NS there’s already 7-8 roaming guilds.

Acelerion.6820:

Hello sirs. We’ve been talking on and about this with paxa and I’d like to throw out tier 6 as an option.

Right now on DR there is us, AD, BSty, NoQQ who all run small groups. If we could get a few groups on each other server in the matchup it would be some good competition.

My only concern is that I don’t know how stable the tier is. Its been the same for nearly 2 months but a shakeu kitten upposed to happen soon.

You guys funding my xfer? I sure hope so!

naphack.9346:

How about an entirely different proposal?
Bundle all those guilds and groups in the weakest of all servers and once this server reaches the top tier with guerilla tactics, the entire meta will have shifted.

Some people prefer PvP over PvDoor

robocafaz.9017:

They also said that WvW was going to be that “good wildly unbalanced world PvP” everyone wants.

Get over it and enjoy that thief who just one-shot you with a backstab!

If you got 1 shot by a thief, you’re doing it wrong.

You can do all that with greatsword, too.

Who were you guys on DAOC? Play classic? If I recall, wasn’t Cancels in your guild?

Jinks.2057:

After killing a ranger it is mandatory to plant the tree and kneel at their head in respect of thier corpse

Absolutely.

Jscull.2514:

Acelerion.6820:

Were kind of jumping around a bit but have been running a lot of

Does your guard run support or dps?

mez/ele/engi/NECRO/ranger fixed.

I don’t always play guardian, but when I do, I prefer support.
Hammer/GS – buffbot/cc/heals

Accepting 5vX’s PST

Hahaha if you guy bring 10 more you might kill 1 of us

SE, can I join you guys? I have a thief and I can mash #2 in a big ball.

Please pick me to join your ranks!

Because I like to sit in an empty tower and mash #1 on a cannon.

@ ile of J. Good call chasing 4 across the entire map, you lost position on east keep.

Where’s the karma train? Chooo choooo

BOOM!

Windmoor.9834:

I would say, no. WvW isn’t about PvP. If you think about it, there is no reason to kill anyone, other then to cap an objective. I don’t understand why people keep trying to force every to think WvW is about PvP. Pv kitten omething that happens in WvW, but has no real purpose.

*is something…not sure why its “kittening” that part.

THATS THE PROBLEM
