Pretty good, despite being stuck on the #Dragtanic

Hows life on Maguuma?

Life on Maguuma is great! Love it

I visited once and some kid got all kitten….the rage and foot stomping was strong in him

Where’s my WvW ascended weapons as well?

I HATE PvE…..I’ve still yet to run 1 fractal

I did do my 1st dungeon run last week or so…….ugh

You don’t have to pve to get ascended weapons (unless you’re actually counting crafting as pve, or killing supervisors/lords as pve). You just have to be a very patient masochist. All of the mats can drop from WvW (although everything except the empyreal fragments will take much longer), and you can buy the other stuff (including the 500 crafting) with all of that glorious 90% less money than you’d have made if you had done pve instead.

Ascended backpieces are the only thing you physically can not get, period, without pve. The other pieces are just a lot easier and/or faster to get from pve, they’re at least possible to get from wvw.

Uhh I’m sorry forgot WvW yields the same as PvE……………………….

relics helped but a good 8v8 still had no problem farming zergs, we are NS, and the ppl I ran with in DAOC we ran 8man on mid and hib and they only scary ppl were alb tank trains when they had all the relics, but besides that we were still able to farm RR and compete for awhile.

Alb extend groups > Alb tank trains.

Heck alb hybrid were > tank trains

Cept your argument is flawed b/c 2 great 8v8 teams can be easily decided by relic bonuses. This isn’t skill vs scrub…….no this is skill vs skill where stat advantages are distinctly felt more so.

DB hills….interesting

We don’t GvG because we don’t field numbers for a GvG, hence why we 5v5’d GF instead of a full on GvG and won a majority of those anyway.

It’s ok, Jinqueeta is a horrid d/p thief who relies too heavily on the 5->2 combo. How about this, next time we duel I’ll whisper you 5->2 each time you do it while we’re dueling and we’ll count how many times I whispered you by the end of our 20 minutes duel because you disengage and reset with it way too much.

Complaining about thieves is soooo winter 2012.

Dontcha know we’ve moved onto condis and perplexity

You’ve never killed me and never have come close to killing me in duels, there’s really nothing to complain about. You’re just bad.

I actually find it amusing how much you rely on 5->2 to disengage. Since I duel Beautykills/Triggerless non-stop in PvP you’re simple compared to them.

Sorry =[

what duels are you talking about???

the chance 1v1’s that your guildies came rushing down to save you???

LOL w/e mate

The duels where you fought me for about 15 minutes and you finally gave up after not being able to kill me with your stupid kitten d/p build after you would continually pop out of stealth, get knocked down to 20% health then spam 5->2 back to safety and rinse and repeated. Turtle Puncher was there and was laughing in party chat while we dueled, not sure why you’re acting like it never happened. I was running a horrible duel build and testing stuff out too , that’s the sad part. Shrug

And if you’re talking about a 1on1 we had south of ruins, where you never got me below 90% health and some random pugs jumped in not even my guildies then you’re sadly mistaken. You jumped me and still failed to seal the deal.

Like I said, after dueling some of the best thieves on Mag in pvp just about everyday you’re a walk in the park. You’re nothing special and I’m sorry that the truth hurts so much. Just another 5->2 spammer like the rest.

O wow kid just tried to strong arm me.

I’m almost moved to tear that down in a reply, but I’ma continue fighting your guild 1v10 spamming my 5’s and 2’s

Hexin.5603:

Xillllix.3485:

Wow make this stop! Just finish GvG, the guild halls and lock this thread.

… like i said in a spvp thread too, and make guild hall changes + capes/whatever pvp robes guilds wear, cost gems to place emblems on and change.

Huzzah, monkin money. Hell make the guild hall cost gems.

But the spvp maps aren’t entirely adequate, would like to see something little more open without the ability to see enemy players on the mini map

Port into the mists and hit M.

You’ll see plenty of room ^^

15 maybe if Mag can keep me entertained enough to post.

20 could be obtained w/ some ingame drama and no report abuse by anyone.

wedo.3049:

you are both making a bigger deal than it needs to be, the buffs aren’t the problem. ever play a game called dark age of Camelot? they had a similar system with buffs but it increased your crit, crit dmg, and spell pierce but people still played and people still attacked the stacked servers. In the end teamwork and skill will win. im not trying to start a fight or anything but stop acting high and mighty. I was merely pointing out that if the shoe was on the other foot we would have lost no biggie gone on our way and continued to play (since its a scrim). it was fun times and should be fun for all.

Relics made a HUGE difference in 8v8’s and 1v1’s in DAoC…..wtf you smoking???

Also relics only effected Attack Damage, Spell Damage, and Healing Power……Orbs not only juice up your attack but significantly blunt your opponents while giving more HP.

There is a reason stacking weapons aren’t allowed btw

I think I’m starting to see the point you were trying to make.

wedo.3049:

had a scrim NS vs EP tonight with buffs didn’t make a big difference

I interpreted this as saying “Had a scrim tonight with buffs, but it didn’t make a big difference. We had have won anyway.”
Whereas I think the point you were trying to make was that buffs shouldn’t matter and people should continue to GvG like this regardless even though it’s only as scrims, at least until something changes.
My apologies for misunderstanding. Skritt happens. Wasn’t trying to act high and mighty, just thought you were taking shots at us.

We agree that skill matters over buffs, and I think we both agree that when two extremely talented groups clash like we did, the buffs do start to make a difference. Let’s face it. [NS] would have been a handful even without the buffs.
Anyway, I’m going through and editing right now and every fight lasts a minimum of 3m10s. Some really intense kitten right there. Perhaps it goes without saying, but I think [NS] is definitely #2 NA if we are #1.

you guys will have to come down to a lower tier server and fight [GF] to see is this will be true.

It has begun

I dunno wtf is up w/ this Swag drama, but I do know that they refuse to GvG GF. They also post videos of them “roaming” which is nothing but a compilation of their guild zerging ppl down.

I wouldn’t expect SWAG to have enough folks for a GvG.

I notice they make lots of excuses too for some reason.

Funny group of ppl it seems

I dunno wtf is up w/ this Swag drama, but I do know that they refuse to GvG GF. They also post videos of them “roaming” which is nothing but a compilation of their guild zerging ppl down.

I’ve noticed they are pushing to become the next Mag All Stars since Ark drama

There is no argument against this current form of GvG except personal preference.

The ppl arguing against literally have no idea what they are talking about but the ppl for GvG have lots of experience in the PvP side.

Remember that….they chose GvG over PvP for a reason

Except they are part of the competition. Just not in the way people demand…

It’s time to stop posting b/c its well documented, even in the apology, that WvW is to played how each individual wants to play it.

All you are doing is making yourself look bad and misrepresenting your server.

Enough.

Lenador.1436:

its bout time we all bandwagon to Maguuma, I sell my soul to you Evlana

I would like nothing more than Mag to become a bandwagon again

ArchonWing.9480:

So umm, if I go into wvw to finish my gathering daily, am I a terrible person for not “participating in the match in good faith” and should be prohibited from doing so?

According to the few ppl here from ET and Yaks where, despite their low ranking, queues are abundant in mid week…Yes you are

I try to leave the gvg crowd be, but honestly many come off as elitist. Secondly, tonight there was a huge gvg event in tc bl, where we were fighting to save our keep. We could not get help in the bl, and when we asked for help to save our keep we were told to leave the bl. This is way too early in the match to be throwing the match.

1. You are facing 2 T1 servers…you aren’t winning this week.

2. TC BL will have SoR v JQ GvGs not TC GvGs

Again, think a little sonny. Who said I played TC? Lol

Ah it all makes sense now.

Maybe next time yall won’t buy guilds then

So originally SoS players were angry at DB for “tankin” thus SoS now having to be 6 seed.

Now that Mag wants Gold SoS is talking about wanting Gold and talking kitten to boot??

Very confusing

Well that’s pretty silly because what ever you are down in people the other team is down too, I certainly dont have a slap-fight(so you put it) against my own guildies. And tbh many of times we have left a GvG to be continued because the map needs help.

It would be an balancing factor if wvw was 2-way fight, but there are 3 teams involved.

We inform anyone on map before we start that we are having a GvG at windmill if you see swords down there its us, and if things get too heavy for you give us a shout and we will come to try and help.

And we are contributing while doing it we are keeping an enemy guild occupied, we get points for stomps and if there is a queue on that current map we will normally make a decision with opposing guild to see if we can move maps. We are a close net community and help and keep in touch with any of the pug commanders and their movements across all maps. And are always at call if needed unless we are defending or taking something ourselves, in which case see what prioritizes.

I think this would be a lot less of an issue if there were more gvg guilds like yours. It sounds like you really handle it the best way possible. The way all of them should.

I’ve seen a gvg busted up because no one knew they were there. I was in the middle of the pack, and my initial reaction was preparing for an ambush. The enemy guild involved had clashed with us several times that day. What I saw looked like a stacked and buffing group getting ready to charge us.

The reaction from some friendlies observing from the far side (I didn’t even see them till after we engaged) was nothing but rage, and did not help to defuse the situation at all. Our presence on the map was clear, and they made no effort to inform us of theirs, even though we were at the southern supply camp.

Why do people like you tell us we shouldn’t do it? It has improved my play style a lot, and my guildies play style, so in which case it benefits the server. I have already stated that our server knows they can call on us if we are needed. We will opt in for a map with no queue over a map with a queue. Although points are of no preference to me personally (i play for the fun/fights), the points however are of importance of our community and we will certainly postpone a GvG if our community actually needs us to postpone it and push that bit harder for the points. Whilst I totally agree there is no official GvG in GW2, there is however open field battles (which is part of WvW) where guilds have decided to take a fun open field battle and make it a fair fight which has been dubbed GvG. Since it is the closest thing to it, and the WvW environment is well suited for this, and the Devs have stated themselves that it is a free-for-all-battle, don’t tell me how to play as i don’t tell you how to play.

Just to make it clear we will help out our community 1st and GvG 2nd so we do have our priorities in the right order, so for the hours we put in to WvW and contributing to our server, if we want to GvG then we will kittening GvG. If our server needs us to put GvG on hold for the time being to help them out then so be it. But we certainly shouldn’t be told we can’t do it.

its about about practicing against fair competition, working together as a team to take down an another team of similar equality and numbers. And most of all having fun with friends which is is why you play the game. So to have someone tell me I cant do that, and I don’t work hard for my sever is a complete insult.

I’m certainly not telling you how to play, but there are some gvg’ers that do need to change their attitudes and priorities. Everything I said is directed at that group. From what you said, it seems that your guild does the exact opposite of the problematic behavior I mentioned, so it doesn’t really apply to you.

I would like to see more gvg guilds that put the community and wvw ahead of their own wants, but there seem to be many that don’t. It’s this attitude that their contributions make it ok for them to completely disregard wvw and other players when it’s time for a gvg match. They are the problem.

Old footage but it really shines light on why you hate GvG so much

Old footage of one the top NA GvG’rs but it really shines light on why you hate GvG so much

Why are the most out spoken against GvG sitting on the 13th and 20th servers using queues as their main reason against GvG?

Anyone else having problems comprehending this?

Mindtrick.5190:

I’ve done both 15v15 and team play. They both differ so feeling threatened by one or the other is not needed. Bringing the 15 man teams would bring a lot more heads for this spvp grand plan of #esports and gaming houses. Those 15 mans would probably never go back to wvw and be in the heart of the mist. Something tells me they would 5man in off hours.

That was a free #protip

SPeaking sense isn’t allowed.

That being said didn’t GF beat CC in the MLG tourney????

GvG is kill selling!!!

Sorry but those 15 kills are hard to get compared to wiping zergs of kittenty players

Darfod.9375:

I don’t GvG, and to be honest, I wish you guys took your fights somewhere else.

But, as you have nowhere to go, I accept that you are going to be on the WvW map.

I consider that chat log to be completely unacceptable, and I am hoping for a rapid developer response.

This could bite ANET quite badly if it makes more people like me (who don’t want you in WvW) rally behind you.

A GvGs take place completely out of the way and do nothing to inhibit WvW play.

The guilds that generally partake in GvG are very active in the regular WvW scene.

Appalling actions by anet

He should lose his job

And a public formal apology should be made to those players present.

Someone who was there needs to goto a gaming news site with those

Ebay shouldn’t be ranked as high as we are.

Apparently Ark is a small-man roaming guild now.

Wow that 1st week of Ebay vs Mag was detrimental to Mag….not only did GF sweep GvG, but they chased off Agg and broke up Ark

Wow.

Who’s Sol he play in T1 or something????

Hanibull.5124:

I was playing GW2 everyday, mainly WvW. I haven’t logged in in 3 days now. My matchup is a blowout as expected when you’re paired with a server 5 ranks higher. They also always have 2-3 stacks of bloodlust. Previously, we might have had a blowout, but I could at least have some fun trying to do some small man roaming and avoiding the enemy zerg as best as possible. Now, however, the fights are too unbalanced. I’ve lost all interest in even attempting it.
Without WvW, I have no interest in doing the daily chore, or throwing my body against Teq in the hopes one day we’ll get him down below 80% and I can get that blue and green item I’ve always wanted.
I suppose it’s possible I’d comeback after they revert the bloodlust changes and stop the madness that is the leagues… but I doubt it. Fact of the matter is they’ve already demonstrated the complete and utter lack of respect for their own community. Doesn’t exactly make me eager to boot your game back up again.

This has been echoed by many people on my server…..it’s sad
