Guild Wars 2

I wanted to give a heads up to both GoM and Anet.

5 minutes ago while attacking SM some of the SF players (including myself) somehow glitched through the gate and got inside the castle outer courtyard (we have no idea how this happened or how it was triggered, it just happened). WE DID NOT INTEND FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN. To make sure we did not exploit this bug we stayed at the gate until the gate fell and then proceeded to be smashed by GoM and their huge zerg :P .

I unfortunately could not get a picture but I did want to address this issue quickly.

Having a very small amount of Oceanic people is just killing us -.-

If it was just IoJ vs SF you guys wouldn’t last and would get steam rolled hard. […] IoJ on the other hand.. well there’s not much to say there.

Good luck, you’ll need it.

Maybe IoJ (allegedly) only attacks SF because nobody from DH is calling them scrubs.

Or it could be the big secret alliance, yeah. When we’re ready to go public, it’s going to be called Darjanthirhaven. Anet even agreed to merge our servers.

Thought we agreed on Isle of Janthaven

Whatttttttttt you guys promised me it would be Isle of Scrubhaven

Let’s play nice :P

Does SF have any roamers or small party play at all? All i see are zergballs of SF fighting our zergballs of DH. I know their are some seriously good players around, but i have yet to see them!

I like to roam around, or rather I did like to roam around during our short time in T7. I picked up a few things from some of the awesome roaming guilds from T7 (thanks a bunch especially from [XOXO]). Fortunately, this is the first time since the whole WvW overhaul that SF has had a hard time to keep a firm grip on the lead and I’ve been working more closely with my server and have actually turned on my commander title that I’ve left dormant for so many weeks.

Nonetheless, I’d be happy to do a 1v1 with you or with any of your roaming friends, I’m not saying that I’m great but I’m looking to learn new techniques, learn how to think, and to also have fun.

Yeah, so unfair using game mechanics everyone has access to. Who does that?

Yes, is is extremely unfair when guilds like SPCA, XOXO and PAXA run around with buffs. These guys run around in good groups filled with good players running good builds. These are the types of guys that do not have much issue in the vast majority of fair fights. I only stated that like a fact because they have some better players than me and I do alright. A large part of the point and fun in pretty much any game is in the challenge it provides and skill it requires; using buffs lowers both of those. What’s the fun in making it so good and close fights aren’t as close as they would have been? What skill does it take to nearly half conditions applied to you because you farmed some nodes or used the trading post?

It would be one thing if XOXO, SPCA and PAXA were the type of players that needed an extra edge, but they aren’t. Who cares if 98% of people in WvW use buffs? A lot of those people need an extra edge because they’re trash. I beat most people I fight anyway, but I should make the game less amusing by making all those fights easier? Every time I run into someone good I should take some of the fun away by making the fight easier? kitten that. Call buffs smart, fair or whatever. I’ll be the idiot that handicaps himself for better fights.

I’m probably not going to debate the subject beyond this post because I doubt any replies will be worth a response. I just hope I explained things better to some people.

I don’t understand why you don’t use buffs. When you want to win, you’ll take every edge you can get to be the best you can to take down that hard ele or thief.

I browse this thread a lot (because I’m from SF), and it’s disheartening to see that many posts are related to drama and committed to derogatory posts. SF is in T7, period. We have tons of people that want to WvW, period. Why were we stuck in T8 for so long? Most of the people on our server wanted to enjoy the PvE aspect of the game before going into WvW hardcore. We were definitely QQing in T8 because of the fact that it was so kitten hard to gain points due to the fact that we were plain out smashing the ET and FC (nonetheless, you guys really picked it up in the last two weeks, you were definitely fun to play with). 300k+ points every week and every week we find ourselves in the same tier doing the same thing over and over.

We’re now in T7, still doing well, not completely destroying the competition but definitely holding out ground. We have tons and tons to learn because of our time in T8, where we could just overwhelm the servers with sheer numbers. Both HoD and NSP are formidable servers with their ups and downs like any servers. Just play the game, stop crying left and right about things that are inherent in this game, like the massive amount of numbers SF has. There’s no doubt that many of our participants aren’t formidable 1v1 opponents like XOXO from NSP and GT from HoD who by the way, have my respect; however, when you start stacking together 30 or 40 of these people together, and place a commander among them, SF is a force to be dealt with.

Furthermore, is it too much to ask to keep your personal or guild related issues away from this thread? Many people don’t care that some commander moved to another server. I don’t see why Anet allows these posts, it’s nonconstructive and a waste of space on the thread.

TL;DR: We moved up from T8 to win, and will continue doing so by using what we have, our numbers. If you have issues within your guild/server, don’t post it here.

On a side note:
I was able to keep my own with 3 XOXO’s. Today was a beautiful day.
3v1, downed someone once or twice but couldn’t get the kill off without risking getting killed myself.

Respect to the 5-man mix of NSP that was holding back a mini SF zerg. Props.

Chose an to go for the tiger look with the orange fur. The update with the flame dye is just purrfect for my armor! So happy!

Whoever the LORD thief was i just fought 1 min ago.. good fight!

I would presume that would be me :P, really the only LORD thief running around BL’s “trying” to roam.

Seems like SF might be moving up after this week!

giving it to a class with viciously high DPS (highest in game)

Even with the highest DPS in the game, I always get kicked from CoF groups…. interesting….

Maybe, just maybe, thieves don’t have the highest DPS in the game?!!!

Every class has its own special abilities and if you take the time to play around with your traits, armor, runes, accessories, and most importantly, your gameplay, there is no doubt that you can be on the same level as a very skilled thief.

Not every thief can wipe out a 7 man zerg. To maintain perma stealth while in combat and take down 7 enemies all at once is much harder than you think, and many thiefs are not capable of such a feat. If there are two people who know what they’re doing they can and will defeat the thief, even though he/she may be perma stealthing.

As you might know, thiefs are very squishy and cannot take tons of damage. By nerfing stealth AGAIN for the SECOND time, you’ve lost a lot of the gameplay that the thief has to offer.

Just food for thought.

To the 5 man of XOXO, props to your coordination and execution that took down our 4 man LORD team. Although we made some fatal mistakes, you were definitely a good fight.

If this was today i honestly don’t recall the specifics. Every fight today seemed to roll into the next one with almost no pauses.

But just a quick note* XOXO really doesn’t have a 5 man team. We have a very small guild of 11-15 people. all of the members are good enough to step in a group with and go. no specific spec needed , no class synergy combo. Danks traits on his mesmer are/ / / /.

We are almost never in ventrilo and the most we type in the chat box while we are fighting , 90% of the time is “haha”.

wow 2 posts with no hate… can’t let that happen..

HOD Y YOU PVDOOR US BRO…

Your ele was giving me quite the headache, I had to down him/her twice in order to finish him/her off due to the constant attacks from your other team members. Nonetheless, I had a great time. I’ll be looking for you guys in the battlefield more often

Solution :

Create a separate /say chat only for commander with a different color in which you can only type a pre-selection of simple and useful command for commanding.

Example : “Follow me”, “Build this”, “Take supplies”, “Stop! Wait!”

And… Done!

Unfortunately, as a commander, I have to repeat what I say in the /say chat to make sure people are building the weapons for the seige, taking all of the supply from the camp, or even switching seige targets and unfortunately, much of the time, I find myself suppressed because I repeat myself over and over and over again.

People don’t join squads often and having the ability to not be suppressed in your squad may be useful but until you have a sizeable amount of people in your squad, it is useless.

My main has been thief since BETA and I’m sad to see the stealth patched up. Nonetheless, I am now forced to try different game play styles out. Definitely going to clear out the dust from my pistols and try pistol whipping again and I might actually pick up a sword and try out some S/P and S/D combos.

It’s been a good run with stealth and I’m sad to see it go :‘( but ever since I’ve drifted away from PvE I’ve been too hooked on it. C’est la vie.

As a thief, Warband support and Thieves guild are both the same thing but one has a faster CD than the other. As a result, I usually always use Thieves guild over Warband when I’m not using dagger storm. It’s unfortunate the CD is soooo long.

Currently running full t3 cultural on my thief. I love the look for medium armor. I unfortunately deleted the hood of anonymity but I would run that as my headgear instead (I will probably get it again in the near future).

I definitely like Tooth, I wish you would have given the profession of the charr with the name Tooth. I definitely admire charr’s for their ferocity and different types of teeth and horns.

I would have to rate Tooth 9/10 and Squire 6/10 (really not a fan of Squire).

My Charr thief is named Grimm Maltok (like my forum name suggests). I would have preferred just Grimm, but sadly the name was taken. My thief is from the Ash legion, carrying out missions in the shadows. I chose the name Maltok because from what I can tell, many charr names end with the a hard k (or at least the most memorable). Other than that, I wanted to add Maltok for originality.
