Guild Wars 2

Without an official response i would assume picking up where phase 2 ended, but you know what they say about assuming :P

I dont understand the problem here? Theres some complaints in there, but arent directed at anything particular. Are you talking about completing the one-time only event/s? Because those are not required for any achievements at all.

Fractals are a huge success, and every single one of them run smoothly, I have found maybe 1 or 2 bugs, but nothing thats hindered progress or made a map unsuccessful. So you can get those 7 fractals completed easily enough.

And for the Karka kills, theres tons of Karka in Southsun. The entire island is covered in them, and they arent tied to any event or chain. You can happily kill them at your leisure to complete your monthly.

Again, i can see you have a complaint, but you didnt tell us what your complaint actually was. Suffer at what? And how has it been a nightmare? We just dont know. I have enjoyed everything so far except waiting for a treb to be built in Lions Arch while the workers drank beer and then it wasnt even needed or used in the event, lol. Good luck and go get your monthly done

Thats actually you breaking the shell off. The first HP is with a shell, the second is without, thats why it goes down so much faster. Also, if you use the sprayers laying around in weapon crates, it melts thier shells/hp

Im starting to feel alittle sorry for Ebay. Looking at next weeks match, if things dont change, they have to face Dragonbrand. If they think Mags is night-capping, they are gonna /wrist when they face DB. Those guys night capped us for the entire week. Mags and Darkhaven both couldnt put up any defense against it.

Also, Mags never has queues. We get a 10 minute queue on Friday nights for the reset, and usually by midnight eastern those queues are gone, never to be seen again the entire week.

And im one of the “morning” guys, usually playing just before noon and towards the evening US time, and i have never seen an outmanned buff on an Ebay player. You guys actually out man us more often than not, we just have great counters to your zergs, and it still takes us hours sometimes to take a single keep or tower. We just keep at it, and eventually overcome. Anyone who has faced our server can attest to our tactics, but they can also tell you something about our numbers. Thinking we have you outmanned is just laughable.

Can we really call it nightcapping when its noon on a Sat? Either way, yes we are focused on Ebay, simply because we havent seen any ET to contend with. I dont really see what you are trying to imply. If something were actually red, we would probably go and take it.

Great battle this week. Awsome work all 3 servers. Little has been contacted, and the issue is being handled in house, thank you for that heads up. We really look forward to meeting either or both servers again. Was one of the closest matches in months. /Wave

sorry DeeJay but thats not the same thing at all. People are looking for score updates, not ratings. Ratings are completely meaningless.

I do not know if you are ignorant or trolling. But the mechanic abused was a rendering issue, where they cannot be seen. Not to be confused with the previous invisible bug. But a clearly stated issue in which both NSP and DH have been seen, even other Maguuma people have acknowledged this. Have you even read any other post here?

OH, that! Now I know what you’re talking about. Something to do with Mesmer portals (if I remember correctly) causing rendering issues. You can do it on command.

Is that what this is all about? XD

Just to let ya’ know, it’s not only Maguuma who’s making use of it. ._.

If this whole thing is all about portal bombs and not the supply issue mentioned earlier in this thread, then you really are naive. Portal bombs are not hacking or exploitative, and i hate to tell you this, but all of the top tier servers use this tactic. Maybe you havent seen it until you moved up high enough to match against Mag, but from here on out, you will see this more and more from every server in every tier from here to the top. Best to start strategizing and figuring out how to counter it (yes it can be countered) because you are in for a rude awakening.

Something Maguuma does very well is using strategy and compensating for very small numbers with a large amount of tactic. Also, most of the portal bombs we use are a single portal, one mesmer=15 people. You will see higher tiered servers using multiple mesmers moving an entire zerg, 30+ people into a single spot. If you think Mags is bad, I cant wait to see your troll posts about top tiers. Good luck in your future, sounds like you are going to need it

So let me get this right. DH and NSP are trying to form against Mag, because they believe Mag is using non-existant free trial accounts to drain supply from places they hold?

I have looked all over the net, and i cant seem to find anywhere that a free trial is available. Please keep reporting any character you see abusing supply. Maguumans do not condone the use of such tactics, and we beg you to please report and hopefully Anet will start to ban all those accounts. It will only end up better for Mag in the end, since those are real players on your servers and not Mag players or accounts. Im sure the rest of your server is going to enjoy all the hate when all those accounts start getting banned lol :P

Also, NSP… Hows that alliance working out for you? I can see from the score it seems to really be giving you a boost. Unfortunately for you, DH has played you, and you fell for it. Congrats on securing thier win for them, but its not too late. Join with Mag and help us fight off thier night-capping crew. Thats the only chance we have at a “fair fight”. Want to talk about spying tactics, they didnt even have to lose accounts to your server, they just played your commanders and guild leaders and you did most of the work for them.

Aye, that was plenty of epic battles in Mag BL. Not just the 2 hour siege of Garrison, but even all the siege you threw at Longview. Not to mention all the siege you constantly put up in all the supply camps, just to lose it 5 minutes later. Im pretty sure those are the kind of battles WvW was always meant to contain.

But it just had to put a large pocket in someones wallet :P

Saddest part of all is that SoS NA crew is actually stronger than the Oceanic now. After holding the whole map all day long, SoS just lost 2/3 of EB. On top of that, they have resorted to unsportsman conduct. Having people taking the other servers golems and bringing them back to you just because you cant fight against them with your zergs is not how you show respect for having a decent fight for once.

All these posts from SoS complaining that they never get a good fight at night, and now when they do and get rolled, they have to resort to this kind of behavior, grats.

I agree 100% that free servers have and are ruining WvW. Although i also agree with some posters that the damage is done. At this point, just cutting them off wouldnt fix the issue, as the imbalance already exists.

I propose taking extra steps to promote self balancing while setting a hard date for the cutting off of the transfers.

It seems one of the biggest issues right now, is that the high pop servers get tired of queues and the “bandwagoners”, and many large guilds move, but they dont go to the low pop servers, they move to the mid pops. Thus the mid now become the highs, and the highs drop. Theres no real incentive to move to the low pops.

Part of this is because there are no real benfits for the outmanned buff atm. Its purely fluff and should become something more active like the orb bonuses. It also needs to be reflected in the guards, allowing the outmanned server to have a chance against being out zerged 2v1, or in some cases 3v1.

Im also not completely against the idea of removing the outmanned state completely and instead having pop caps equal to the lowest pop. This wouldnt kick people out that are already on the maps, but if they begin to hugely out number the opponents, it will just prevent new players from joining until the balance has returned. This also adds the incintive for larger guilds to move to lower pop servers, not mid pop, to avoid the longer queues and get the whole guild in at once.

All of that being done over a period of a match (1 week) to allow those transfers to balance, then a cut off with a hard set date, not a flexible one, for the free transfers. That allows people to move and balance, but not enough time to bandwagon hop if they find thier new home doesnt fit. It adds risk vs reward, and that is something missing from WvW right now.

Plain and simple fact is, that as long as there are server transfers, people will move to the winning server. Server transfers are destroying the ability to have balanced fights, and build a community on any server. Its human nature to want to win, and i dont blame anyone for that, but giving them a free pass to act on that nature isnt helping.

Anet mistakingly believes that people will choose to lose for less queue times, rather than win and have queues. Its naive to hold on to that, and it needs to be fixed ASAP. The server pops will restabilize once transfers are taken away.
