Guild Wars 2

looking at the points overview at http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#EU …… is it possible that this Tiers might stay that way for a while? Because that would be awesome

Not sure if this often looks that way but it looks like a very promising matchup

taking SMC from RoF and then deffing it against both Gunnar and RoF for half an hour or so…

If we all just would learn Esperanto….

Germans from all three german servers are maybe worst GW2 players.
They need zerg for retake one camp,they need zerg for haunt and kill one player,they need zerg for kill one dolyak but they are almost 100% failing in duels or 1vs1 group fights.I won min.9/10 duels against them and im not thief.

I have also had some great 1v1 action and small team fights against these. These german servers a great at zerging but in a 1v1/small fight they are terrible. Zerging promotes bad play and low skill.

just because you see a zerg often take a camp it doesn’t mean that they need zerging to take a camp. Often you need the zerg to have supply so that’s why they’re all running to it. Sometimes you don’t want that the group to get scattered so you don’t go sending 5-person-groups to take camps. But sometimes you do that because it’s faster to take camps this way. Just until you meet enemies.

You’re saying that you’re winning all duels is more anecdotal. If you’re so skilled than why are you not playing sPvP? And besides from wasting one enemy player’s time and possibly drawing him/her away from joining a group you’re not really doing anything good for your team this way…

(I’m saying that as an fresh unskilled player who avoids fighting enemies when roaming alone even though I’m Ele) I go to WvW for tactics not for skilled 1v1 or 2v2 fights.

Quickness nerf big nerf.

no more ultra-fast golems destroying Gates I guess

EDIT: stupid question…. what do you mean with AC?

Ruprect.7260:

•Catapult damage no longer affects rams through gates

This will be interesting

Kind of overdue – was one of the most weirdest “pro” tips that I learned.

Dealing damage through the doors feels really weird – with anything.

Since I’ll need to scale down the setting a lot to Nametag-Only I just expect to see golems even less. Golems are the worst in terms of culling – they’re a kittening siege weapon and should be prioritized but somehow they are always the last thing you can see

Jacklo.4230:

The biggest abusers of culling were the zerg portals. A thief can’t help the fact that culling existed, although some no doubt benefited from it. What would you have them do… wait for 5 seconds after each attack so you can kill them?
Portals where used to actively exploit this however.
What will be funny is that the same people complaining about thieves, will be the same people who still get their kitten handed to them from the same thieves.

huh? you should be able to see the portal, right? It is already a big indicator for a shakedown…

it feels pretty refreshing to finally have so many waypoints as a Dzagonur player

After some people said that it should be possible to be able to toggle between english->german I searched around and found that it has to do with some obscure settings in one of the numerous Windows language settings.

the suggenstion should be to
NOT use Windows APIs at all for language toggle

Instead let users configure in the game client how they want to have their language toggle set up.

As this SuperUser-Thread shows the Windows APIs for language settings are completely kittened. up. I need to have Region Settings set up to United States so that I don’t go completely nuts with programs throwing unpreferred languages at my face. So I cannot change it.

Alright, I just made a new thread with a suggestion to ArenaNet for this problem. Feel free support this idea :> nevermind, I was in the wrong forum for this

Yeah those night sessions are simply too much fun if the right people are around. The night where we smashed SM Castle was simply too much fun – and my first time I ever visited the castle

It took me quite a while to realize that there exists a separate german-language forum – with a lot of pages for the WvW matchup threads. Lazy teutons :P So I guess you RoFies are little bit left out. Having read the full thread though I’m not sure if you’re really missing out.

Well this was unexpected. A spontaneous night gathering, commander-less just smashed the castle into wood – and everything else on the EBs

It is/was difficult enough to deff our Homelands against Drakkar already. When you trash the keeps there it’s just easier for Drakkar to grab them…

Reflections and Shadows are the biggest FPS killers in my experience. I turn them both off completely.

Shadows, yes, but the biggest impact on your FPS is Shaders and Anti-Aliasing. The FPS difference between Medium and High for Shaders is substantial, but so is the look and feel of the game. Disabling altogether will result in some crappy looking armor and buildings. Setting shadows to Medium will help, and setting to Reflections for Terrain and Sky tend to fair better.

However, depending on your card, you might be CPU-bottlenecked as well. So you might not see major increases in FPS when you mess with some settings.

yeah shaders were the first thing I was dropping down. Wish it would even allow a low setting. In PvE/Singleplayer I turn them back to high again – because they look really pretty – something that is unnecessary in WvW (as is the snow that is flying around the air on the map, and all the other details…)

And yeah, I’m aware that the CPU is the bottleneck. That’s why I haven’t lowered the resolution (1080p) yet too (from what I understand higher resolution is heavily GPU- and not CPU-intensive) – does anyone else had WvW zerg improvements with a lower resolution? I’m guessing that a lower resolution would hinder playing the most…
But I don’t intend to change my PC – I just upgraded and hey for not even owning a discrete GPU I’m having loads of fun with this massive game. I just would like to get the best performance with what I have.

It will be definitely interesting fiddling around with the upcoming Culling-Patch and trying out if playing against only-playernames is doable

Ugh – the search function in the forum is as ineffective as the trading post search

can someone point me to a good thread about good settings for game performance, specifically for WvW? Or if that doesn’t exist, what are your tips? Which are the best settings to lower?
(personally I have an APU A10-5800K – I don’t expect miracles, but 5 fps more in a big fight might be nice)

as an feature suggestion…. I would love to be able to have a WvW / PvP Profile in the graphics-settings.

Herr der Friedhoefe.2490:

Yes Ilesyt, it’s just you.

In other news I would like to thank the RoF commanders for their support tonight at the Warp guild event. We wanted to wreck the place and take their Bay keep. We got it done eventually. In particular, Sheepie! You are awesome!

The Dzag’s are going to have to reconsider their plans, because RoF is going to their borderlands for the rest of this week.

Are you even considering to attack Drakkar / recapture your own keeps from Drakkar? From what I experienced today/yesterday it is doable to wipe even their organized zergs.

Finally we (Dzagonur) got back our Homelands. Let’s hope they last
