Guild Wars 2

It’s the reason why people stack on tier 1 servers, it’s simply the easiest way to get rewarded.

Focus on better reward system for the people who do a lot of work with less then 5 or 10 man groups, add some more objectives and I have a feeling the population will actually spread out a little better while making more servers be more competitive.

Testicular fortitude

I really think it’s time to throw these bad boys back on the store. I’ve been waiting a long as time to be able to purchase them and I’m sure customer support is sick and tired of me, my fiends and the community posting a million tickets about them too.

I don’t understand why these things aren’t in the shop, I can guarantee you they’d be selling like crazy. We have money and we want to spend it…

Plz Anet…. just… come on.

Stop reworking, scrapping stuff, moving launch dates and promise us even more hot air. Just start delivering (promised) content.

This has to seriously be the most kittened thing I’ve seen you guys suggest ever! Like the game doesn’t have enough cannons and mortars already.

Lost for words…

Just another one of those features that worked out great and actually did what it was designed for but it got nerfed due to people not knowing how to adjust to it. Another round goes to the casual player and the blobbers…

Lol, “top” BG guilds are wiping hard to fromer BG guild, RISE. So glad to have you on SoR. ^^

Somebody is going to die young…

You’ll always fight players that are better then you, you’ll always run into players that run a flavor of the month setup that you’ll know you might have issues with. The game is designed around a rock-paper-scissors system, you’ll never have somebody that will win every single 1v1 fight but the game is also simply not designed for duels.

I think the biggest difference to all of this is our mentality compared to yours, you already give up before the fight has even started if you get caught in a 1v1 while we’ll at least give it a poke and see what we can do

I demand that from my players though, to at least give it a try and make sure they can stand on their own 2 feet. If they go down, try and see why and if there is a way to handle it better.

I also advice them to try and think ahead of time and not dwell on builds that are flavor of the month now. Most of those kind of builds that people run now come from roamers in the first place which then get introduced into larger guilds and we as roamers have to plan ahead of that already to counter our own builds.

Like next patch, I’m expecting a lot of condi-shaving and I’m already planning around that idea.

Mindtrick.5190:

You assume to much and also trait shadow arts. Why don’t you step up and transfer. Or does a Internet community mean a lot to you, defender of blackgate and all things roaming.

Defender of Blackgate, I like that…

A wise man once sang, “$#@% with me, you know I got it…”

Thieves might be nerfed every patch but not where it should get nerfed…

The reason condi is rewarding right now is because you just need 1 offensive stat to do almost the same type of damage to a power style build that requires 3 stats to work.

I made the suggestion to Roy the other day about splitting condi up too where you need stats like ferocity and precision to get a more even battlefield. And lowering the base damage on condi.

Now Roy said to me that condi in larger group setups don’t match up that well but I think with the 3 stat setup it’ll be a bit more rewarding in larger group setups too. Since you can apply more pressure with a crit and a crit chance approach.

I love Shirts, best Shirts ever

Suprise, surprise.

My vote goes to BG.

Trolling aside (I troll a lot and say some mean things ) this is a server that has hovered around the top for the longest time. They have a core group of guilds who have kept the server at the top in WvW for the longest time. Oh, and that pride. Of course, there is #magswag, but the ammount of hashtags applicable to BG is unmatched.

Their roamers are also some of the best and most coordinated. When the mid-tier servers call T1 zerg trash, it is the might of RIOT and oPP that really show off their small man might to a level that just makes them unmatched. The RGs of the roaming world.

First to kill Teq, and clear winner of season one WvW. BG deserves my thumbs up.

If I were to pick a second, I would pick Maguuma. I server which I can respect, AGAIN, trolling aside. A server that doesn’t care about winning or losing. They care about the fights and having fun. Some kitten good roamers too, and all around just an amazing mindset to be for a WvW server. Thumbs up.

kitten mate, that’s a nice thing to say… Just so you know, it’s on the testimonial page now! You can’t take it back

Pretty please with sugar on top!

Looking forward to this! A LOT!

Our community just can’t deal with not being first, this has been a known issue for a long while though. Becoming first took a lot out of our players and it is also the thing that created this whole scenario but the community will be fine

Most people that play a thief share a very similar mindset which is to see a lot of crits and big numbers. There is a side to the class that most people don’t want to play because it doesn’t make much sense to them.

I’m the guildleader of probably one of the most disliked small skirmish guilds in tier 1. In my group, I’m the point man and I play the role that is normally played by a guardian or a warrior. I get people to focus on me while the rest of my team gets free play.

Some of the stuff I don’t see a lot of thieves do but which I consider extremely important.

• I try to get as much attention on me as possible.
• I peel for the guys that are in trouble.
• I can always get my team members up when they go down, a guarantee rez.
• I chain immobilize targets.
• I can cover a lot of distance in order to put my targets back in combat.
• I use daggerstorm not for the damage but to keep my targets in combat while also making them scatter.
• I help my group get away when we’re getting stuck in bad situations or when the fight goes down hill.
• I chain daze players that I consider a threat.
• I play a can-opener for my guildies by stripping boons off of my targets.
• I stomp about 80% of the targets that get killed by my team because it’s a guarantee stomp.

To sum it up, you can be a real team player if you want to be but most thieves struggle with that mindset. Feel free to check out to see what I’m talking about: http://www.youtube.com/user/oppveretta

Who has been gathering numbers? o_0

DnT has shown with the way they gave themselves props to not to fit the requirements of what Anet is looking for. The privilege was given to DnT to participate in the beta testing and they are in their right to take it away too. Anet is allowed to share their concerns and are basically letting people know what they’re expecting from future testers.

I personally may not care much for world firsts but I have a bunch of guild members that enjoy the competitive aspect of the games by either participating in spvp, speeds runs or world firsts.

There is a lot of pride at stake and people are just feel cheated, this is something a lot of players have been working towards and have looked forward to doing.

Not to mention, this conversation has been going for a while and lets be real… a lot of players had already openly expressed their concerns with how the raid testing was handled. If DnT wanted to be a classy guild and earn the respect of the community they should have done what they could to help the community with achieving their world first kills and not claim it for themselves.

@HzH guy: I found 1 ranger who didn’t run from me today. I found 1 guard who ported as soon as he saw me go towards him, 1 ele who ran but couldn’t get away, and a thief who upon me running up to him used blinding powder and ran to bay. I was solo in every situation. So maybe try getting your 1 ranger to train your guildies to not run, he’s a cool guy.

As i am probably the ele you are referring to here i think i can explain why we ‘run away’ from you instead of fight you.
oPP is a guild build to roam and 1v1 , 2v1 people. PvP players pur sang and you’re good, if not great, at what you do.
[HzH] is a map leading guild, almost 95% of the players you’ll encounter with an [HzH] tag are built to support the guild in open field fights, support and siege warfare. We have roamers, but they are few and far between. The ones we have though, tend to kitten people up in 1v1, i hope you’ll encounter them once, i think it’s going to be a good match.

As for why i tend to ‘run away’, instead of fight an oPP player 1v1. Well, first, i’m a friggin ele…last thing i need to do is 1v1-ing mesmers and thieves :p
Secondly, my entire gear, weaponset, traitset, build…is made to support a guild group in group fights. I know my build, i don’t deal a lot of dmg, but i heal the kitten out of people and make sure my commander is alive and at full health even during the largest fights. Do you honestly want me, a staff ele (even switching to daggers won’t do much for me) with 0 points in fire, and fully geared to heal instead of doing dmg, fight you who are fully decked out to 1v1 people. I don’t see the use in that, to me is it’s as usefull as a can of alcoholfree beer in a bachelorsparty. I honnestly think it makes more sense for me to try to kite you and go help my own guild. And this goes for almost all of our members.
So yeah, you’ll probably see us trying to dodge your guild in order to get to our own, not because we suck, but because we’re simply not sporting the build to 1v1 at that time.

That being said. Few HzH will be able to win from an oPP player in a 1v1. On the other hand, oPP is less likely to capture/defend a keep being defended/assaulted by HzH.
Both guilds have their strengths and weaknesses, no use in chest thumping on forums on how you can use your strong point vs another guilds weak point.

Signed
An [HzH] ele that will always run away from a 1v1.

Ps: To everyone else in this thread……You’re not 2v1-ing us…it’s a delusion….it’s us who are 1v2-ing you.

Refreshing to read somebody who understands what’s going on.

Tarkus.4109:

Requires good coordination and a focus on acquiring said buffs

You’ve got to spl… i….. t… up…

Ohhh…

I see what the problem is now!

Also… where are HD and Foxy? Both groups already outnumber us the majority of the times, think a mention should be worth it if you mention us.

Still a lot of lag but we’re finally getting back to have a normal pvp environment. Thanks to all who are already burned out, left tier 1 or have finished their a-cheese-ments.

Everybody loves getting double teamed, don’t lie.

Don’t buy guilds from the thrift shop…

it doesn’t surprise me this happened…they had a reputation for drama in WoW too

http://afkgamer.com/archives/2008/03/13/death-taxes-guild-drama/

publicly shamed one of their own guildmates back in the day

The bigger picture that nobody is paying attention to here is the the culture of Anet employees harassing and bullying the players. Despite the fact that team leads and people you EXPECT to be protecting the customers are the ones involved.

The big picture that nobody is paying attention to?

Basically DnT was invited to help with organizing a party and they drank all the alcohol before the party had even started.

The party peeps who just showed up are wondering where the booze is and Anet is in their right to point at DnT who are clearly still hoarding the empty bottles on the couch over there.

Team, I’m missing out here ;_;

We’ve clashed heads with you guys from [DIS] a lot the last few days. We’ve had some great fights but lost a lot of them due to us only having 5 players running around most of the time. Where most guilds will still lose players in an encounter with small groups like ours, you guys have been solid. So it shows you guys have some talented players that look out for each other, can only have respect for that.

I’ll let Mel know you guys want to poke ‘m a little, I’m sure he’ll be keen to accept your challenge(s)

Stop rewarding the zerglings the most in world vs world. The path of least resistance…

sigh

I have a feeling that Engels is from the Memento Mori guild

eksn.7264:

Says the guy who randomly attacked me when I was just watching duels and clearly had no intention to fight? It’s not about playing by made up rules, it’s about not being an kitten to other players. But hey, if killing players not fighting back is what makes you feel good about yourself, who am I to judge.

Welcome to World vs World my friend. A place where people attack each other and if you do down, you get back up and try again!

1. More focus on skirmish aspect of WvW.
2. Zerg vs roam reward balance.
3. Resolve the lag when large groups fight in and near buildings.
4. Balance the current meta better.
5. Better group utilities; group size, multiple target functionality, better party representation on minimap.
6. WvW vs PvE reward balance.

Loving the fights guys!
