I have a Storm Spirit in my skill bar and wanted to switch it out to something else. I am unable to do this. The spirit keeps exploding, and I activate without touching my keyboard. Weird stuff. Halp!!!
I was doing this instance the other day and didn’t have time to finish it. So I tried yesterday. The little green dot that shows where I am supposed to go takes me inside the Skritt tunnel. The dot still shows up but there is no instance to go to. It’s the maze instance where you have to find your companions, ya know Rox, Brahm, etc. Does the instance only show up when the regular maze is available? One more thing, I opened the mail for this particular session, but it wasn’t on my main character. Now I have to do this with a different character and she is not as well equipped as my main character. Why don’t your other characters get the mail that triggers this session?
Maguuma is Maguuma. If they are close they’ll push kitten Monday-Wednesday and call it done.
I’m just surprised that YB could do so well. I don’t know about stomps, but I know I saw hellaciously high PPT the last 36 hours.
Oh well, keep it to yourselves then. Keep this up and we’ll probably find out in the next few weeks.
I honestly don’t know what happened either. I thought we were boned when LA was full almost 24/7 with the majority of our people doing wintersday stuff when we were behind. But we somehow pulled ahead.
Well, here’s my take on it, could be right or wrong, or somewhere inbetween.
As always, it’s the cause of a combination of things. The main fight for the win this between us and SBI. First, SBI pushed us down to third on the weekend. Then, the numbers turned more to our advantage during the week. Some of our commanders played more and rallied more people for us, and the patch reducing SBI numbers were probably the largest factors (but who knows, really). We got a foothold in SBI bl which further decreased SBI’s numbers/morale. Since we were too busy fighting SBI, Mag basically just moved into first place for free, even though they were just all over the place and never focused on anything. Then once we established a lead on SBI, we finally could spare to send significant numbers to Mag bl for an extended period for the first time since Friday.
Anyway, great week everyone, it’s been a lot of fun.
SBI’s morale is just fine. If you haven’t noticed, there is a holiday coming up and things need to be done. Like baking cookies, getting presents ready for under the tree. I guess YB has no lives and just stay in this game 24/7. Sad so sad.
“Is this what you want? What all of you want? I fought him before, and after, we took in his old friends, and they became leaders of what we have here. Put down your weapons, walk through those gates, and you’re one of us. We let go of all of it, and nobody dies. Everyone is alive right now. Everyone who made it this far, we’ve all done worse kinds of things just to stay alive – but we can still come back. We’re not too far gone. We get to come back, I know we all can change.” – Rick Grimes
Christmas will soon be here. I hope everyone in the World of GW2 has a wonderful Christmas. Enjoy this time with your family and friends, from my home to yours.
I don’t know if there is a suggestion area or not, so I am putting this here. Hopefully an Anet Dev will read. There are players in WvW that I can only suspect are from other servers that have a second account on a different server. These players take supplies from a keep and make ballistas in crazy spots all over the keep. Not only that, but they take golems and jump them off cliffs. You may say, well this is war and may the better man win. Anyway to get to my suggestion, you have to be a level 80 before you can make siege. Since this game has been out for over a year now, there is no reason for a player to not have a level 80 character. I don’t know if this suggestion could even be implemented, but hey you guys are smart and I know you can do it.
Had fun at SBI garri last night trebbing cows and seeing all those numbers pop up. And thanks to whomever from FA gave me a very cool axe drop. Such a sweet skin.
Maybe it “happens” to every server that SBI faces, but it’s not something that I witnessed on YB in any other week of Season 1.
I’ll concur with this statement. As much as I wvw, last week was the first time I have ever seen an opposing server have trolls that transfer over to grief. That’s not to say, there hasn’t been in the past, but they may have been less obvious in their endeavors. Maybe this time, they were more blatant about it and didn’t care. Who knows? I just know, this is the first time I have ever encountered it myself.
In the 6 months I’ve been playing(only been on SBI), I have only heard of this happening 4 times and that has been with the SOR match, week 1, 6, 7 of league. What I would like to see instead of blaming an entire server for the actions of one or two people is for Anet to implement an easier and more effective way to shut these people down. It misrepresents those who try to play it clean, no matter what server you’re on.
I definitely agree with you on your final points. It should be possible to /report a player specifically for wvw-griefing (in its many flavors), it should be harder to do in the first place, and ANet should penalize players for doing it (including penalties on their primary accounts).
A week-long lockout on WvW participation following a server transfer would inhibit some griefing and level-locking siege use and blueprint-deployment would force the griefers to change tactics (i.e. require character level 30 before you can use siege and 40 to drop blueprints).
Perhaps WvW rank requirements to deploy siege too. All the griefers that Ive seen the last week or so were accounts with less than 500 achievement points, so they werent transfers they were dummy accounts(I am sure there are also transfer griefers).
The one we have in this matchup, Star Playa(not to be confused with Star Player), is actually clever in that he wastes siege on things in places that a noob would do so you cant prove it with screens really.
Maybe some live moderators who can see without being seen, and are not actually playing the game, would be nice during tournaments.
What the hell. my entire post just went poof.
Trying again.
I was talking last night with Boo Boo Boo Boo of whatever the name was. hahaha He told me that Star Playa was his 7 year old cousin. He said, “I showed him how to put up siege now that’s all he wants to do”. But for some odd reason, when I kept inviting Star Playa to join me, he kept declining then put his player in the offline mode. And another thing, it was late and a 7 yr/old should have been in bed already.
Yeah dude, like we all have stupid written across our foreheads. Please don’t insult the intelligence of a well seasoned adult. hhhhm garlic, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, nom nom nom.

Rule 22:
“While participating in Plaver-vs-Player (PvP) gameplay, you will not participate in any form of match manipulation. Match manipulation is defined as any action taken to fix or manipulate the outcome of a match or alter or manipulate the rankings or ratings of the ladder. This also includes disrupting other people’s game experience by not actively participating in matches in good faith, a.k.a leeching.”
Why even have rule Anet if no one is going to enforce them?
This doesn’t apply to the 2v1 aspect of WvW. Quote from Mike Ferguson’s developers blog back in February 2012 describing the reason 3 servers would be included in the match, instead of a straight 1v1:
We knew right away that we wanted three teams fighting against one another on a series of huge maps in the Mists (our world vs. world battleground) and that each team would be composed of an entire server full of players. Including three forces in world vs. world acts as an excellent balancing factor, preventing one team from growing too powerful and ruining the competitive balance of the game. Two teams can gang up to counter a more dominant third team, a dynamic that simply isn’t possible with only two opposing factions.
So, to all SBI that are complaining that this is unfair, underhanded, poor sportsmanship, against the rules, or otherwise cheating: We are playing WvW exactly as designed, intended and desired by those who created it.
So, you saying Anet created this WvW for cheating and going against the rules? OMG, tell me it isn’t so, I am crushed. I love it when other servers bring up whining, when in fact you are just stating the facts as you see them. Get over this whining, cry baby kitten, a fact is a fact is a fact, PERIOD!!!!
Saw this post from Devon Carver :
Too often the 3rd place team drops off and has no effect on the game other than to stop the 2nd place team be competitive to the 1st place team.
This is an intriguing concept. The original idea behind WvW was that this would happen of its own accord, but I haven’t seen that in practice. I think it could be much more of a part of the game if there were a way to do this. Would it make more sense to provide increased score from this or to increase the individual rewards? I would lean slightly towards the latter. I also wonder if it would work to be really heavy handed about it and actually put the two losing servers on the same team. Of course, that presents numerous problems including score tracking at that juncture. But I would think we can find some sort of system that encourages servers to work together to defeat a bigger server.
Well kitten. Curse you Anet for putting ideas into peoples heads. I dunno, I think it is really an insult to a persons intelligence that Anet feels they have to plant suggestions into the minds of their players. I mean come on, there are some really smart people playing this game.
This wasn’t a suggestion, it is something that was fleshed out in another game… Dark Age of Camelot. It was 3 realms fighting each other, and double teaming happened all the time. I guess because it was more a part of the strategy then, it wasn’t QQ’ed as much as it is now. Still a viable strategy, and it happens all the time, just not to the extent it happened this week.
I still feel this comment from Devon has suggestive overtones to it. I’ve never heard of Age of Camelot. Go for the honorable win and don’t team up with another server. Winning this by tag teaming with another server, it just loses merits and brings on disrespect.

I have no respect for EB or YB this match. When you see EB and YB meet on the field and not fighting each other, that is a definite yes they are working together. So again I say, cheating is for losers. I have read where some of SBI are giving their congrats to YB, I just have to say, open your eyes. If winning means that much to you that you have to team up with another server to do it, then you deserve no respect, kudos or congratulations.
I’d like to know, how a dead, not downed, but totally dead player’s health kept rejuvenating until he rose from the dead. You could actually see the red health bar increasing. Void was the guild. How do I know, because this player actually arose and started fighting. I am thinking that YB and EB are using quite a few exploits in the matchup. Cheating is for losers.
Pop a stealth trap over the dead body. That would have ended it immediately. Then again, it takes less effort to make yourself look silly on the official forums by calling HAX over something that is stupidly easy to do.
You should not have to pop a stealth trap over a dead body, PERIOD. The body is dead, dead as a doornail, dead as a corpse. I cannot raise when I am dead, I have to go to a WP. Like I said, exploit. Cheating is for losers.

How many FA’s does it take to kill 1 SBI? How many FA’s does it take to kill a sentry? How many FA’s does it take to tap on a gate? How many FA’s does it take to kill a Doylak?
SoR zerg more next time, can’t take the tower with relatively even numbers so you have to bring a whole map queue to take a paper tower against 15 defenders.
I might sympathize if it wasn’t SoS saying this. It’s like the pot calling the kettle black. This may even be you doing the exact same thing to us a few months ago. Anyways, your mindless horde of Oceanic zombies would hit all of our towers and keep in EB with a map queue and we held our corner repeatedly because all you could do was kitten rams down on gates.
You hit the nail on the head, Radioactive. It just boggles my mind, why one server accuses another server of doing something and the server who is doing the accusing does the exact same thing. This is in every matchup. Quit with the accusations and show each other respect for the hard battles they encounter and for trying to figure out a better strategy to down the opponent. I read a lot about PUGS. I guess I am a PUG since I don’t belong to a WvW guild, but I have fun in WvW. PUGS aren’t that bad, so quit giving them a bad rap.
I’ve been reading some of the posts and responses and laughing out loud. Roaming? This is WvW, where there are LOTS of players. If you want to roam, go do PvP. Anyone who roams around is looking to die, horribly. Zergs, blobs, trains, whatever you want to call them, every server has them, so shut the front door already. Not just WvW guilds show up in WvW, PvE players do too. We care about our server and our BL. Some players talk about others running away. If I see a sea of red coming for me, you are darn right I’ll be running the other way. It’s not that I am roaming, but trying to get to where the action is and get intercepted. I see other servers complaining of things they actually do themselves. Lots of talk trying to lower moral, ain’t gonna happen.
Everyone make a necro and degen the pants off Mag. :O I mean really, is that all you have?
Some people don’t like roaming and that’s fine, wvw has a little for everyone. But roamers and small groups have their place too, running the camps and towers and distracting larger zergs… It’s all worthwhile. And the bloodlust ruins are designed for solo/small groups… There’s action to run to there also
I understand what you are saying. But, why does every server make comments about zergs, when they do the exact same thing with a zerg? That just doesn’t make sense. You sir, had a sensible response. And if you are a ma’am, please excuse me.

I see all this talk about running away. It’s annoying when you are trying to get somewhere fast and you are encountered by the enemy. That’s not running away from a fight, that is trying to get somewhere you are needed. So I say ppphhhffttt to anyone who posts about players running away.
So is that what this is ?… Lol.. nice try. If I didn’t have 20 gigs on me rolling bads like you. I would record 24/7.
They try to gank me , fail some …run away.. I chase.. I load up frapz and you see the rest.
Had they stayed. It was siege spam for all 4.. lucky you leave behind something. Sort of like tossing your girl infront of a bear as you run for your life.
Gank? I saw a few running and you running after them attacking . (And I might add, you did a terrific job with your attacks.) What did you expect after they got out of the water. I don’t know who started it, but the vid definitely showed you running after them. hahaha You got guts. Like I said, they were probably running somewhere and had to get there fast. Too bad for the other guy that got caught up in the fray.

Uh SIC guild got wiped plenty of times on our BL’s and won some fights as well. Twice at north camp I was with KT as we wiped em with equal numbers and they got hit pretty hard by our zerg. I like them, they are a good group and fun to face. They don’t run from fights, whether outnumbered or otherwise. SE just seems to complain a lot about numbers, so it seems they are suited for silver which wont be a challenge.
I respect that in a guild. Not running away. Face the music and try your hardest. Heck, I run in all alone trying to take on 10 ppl. I know what the outcome is going to be, but I won’t run away, unless I have to heal up then I run back. And again, I thought SIC’s vid was great. I made some biscuits this morning, how about some gravy with them?

Okay, now read his sentence using your adjusted grammar. “You are pathetic attemps at chest thumping make my day.”
That makes no sense, but appreciate the try.
You’re is still correct, a comma should have been used after pathetic. You’re pathetic, attempts at chest thumping make my day. Or possibly, your pathetic attempts at chest thumping make my day. Either are correct. And you’re correct for the then instead of than.

You’re pathetic attempts at chest thumping make my day. Continue to shout from on high about how good you guys are. Just wait till gold league my friend. Enjoy what SOR/BG have to offer you
Then*
Your*
I’m not your friend, guy. I may have to borrow 5 from DDLG to fight, just to put you in your place, SON.
I’m actually excited to go to those tiers and fight them, guaranteed we won’t kitten out and drop to a lower tier server in search for easier fights.
Go ahead look for another reason to back out.

I can’t wait to meet SBI soon. On a completely, entirely, wholly unrelated matter, does anyone else really want Anet to introduce something bigger then 20slot bags?
