Guild Wars 2

SoW+friends’ video for this match-up : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RreK0EYUn24
We were running 15-20 this week (including friends), thanks for some great fights.

So much BS on this thread.

Can’t have 15 this week unfortunately, holidays, computer crashes etc. We might 10vs10 against ExG at the end of the MU too.
I reckon I saw Mya and dF running (almost – plenty of rallybots with Mya and terrible skill lag around them) on their own two days ago on deso BL, but it didn’t last long and that’s why FR had to blob south of Bay which can be seen on CmonCryBaby’s sshots. Kind of primate action>reaction behavior from FR which doesn’t help with the lag situation.

Well if they’re that good, they should probably stop blobbing with you dF guys and pretend they’re running 24 all the time.
I would love to see if they’re any good, so yeah, let’s 12 vs 12 and allow their BL to be free of lag. From what I’ve seen so far we killed their “24 man group” with 12 SoW and a few rallybots two days ago on deso BL. Think it’s about the only fight we played against them cause there is simply no interest for us playing with lags.

I don’t know if there is a language issue here or if this is pure ill-faith.
OFC I’m not interested in Xvs50 fights. OFC I’m not running into them. I’m not “whining about being blobbed” either, never saw Mya winning a fight at equal numbers anyway. What I’m saying is that there is skill lag on Mya’s BL every evening (and even afternoons) whilst the other BLs are skill lag free. So if I’m whining for one thing, it’s for that skill lag. OFC Anet is the one to blame. But players can also do their part and use the game as it is i.e. running with small groups, have interesting, fun and skill lag free fights.

Omg, stop this general miller ill-faith, just look at screens 1 and 5 which are out of combat if you wanna see what a big red cloud Mya “24 players group” looks like and acknowledge they’re not playing alone, creating a blob which makes skill lag on the whole BL they’re playing on. The other screenshots were posted to show how ridiculous this kind of fights are, totally worthless to go Xvs50+ with horrible skill lag.

Back to important things…serious problems in this game if it can be called game…not sure bout that cuz it aint playable anymore for most of the time -.-

Well, think about it seriously for 2 seconds dude. On the other BLs on which you were not, there was barely any lag during the prime times since the match-up started, according to some mates whom we asked. So to be clear, once again, your noob blob IS indeed creating the BL skill lag. That’s why everybody’s trying to get on a BL on which you are not.

Attack 2 different gates with your 2×25 zerg guilds like you did on Shadaran and everybody on the BL will be fine in terms of skill lag. 50+ ppl on a gate is simply inefficient and makes 250 people have a sh**ty evening because of server charge.

Yeah sure lots of deso on first and last screenshot.

Yeah, right. Mya runs with 24 players, doesn’t create skill lag and has all 3 keeps on the map. /surrender

Good fights on Deso-BL…skill delay/laggs where horrible at some points but cant do much bout it.

LOL
Seriously!
You are responsible of the skill lag. You’re blobbing like noobs, seriously, get squads of 20-25 players max and stop the server charge burning.
Fights against Mya are totally worthless, your numbers + the enormous amount of PUGs sticking you is ridiculous. Besides annoying everyone, it gives no results to your server as you can barely keep one objective on the map.

Same here

If it’s blocked in your country, it works v. well with proxfree.com

Apologize for the EO guy, dudes… they’re a shame for Ranik and he just doesn’t know what he’s talking about He was probably speaking of the 500 bags he gave you over the last match-up.

Any UW players left? Barely seen some on their BL.
FSP seriously, Kale+VoTF on the same BL? Wanna have some fun or are you just into farming L2 noobs? Omfg guys with your setups just migrate to L1 and get real fights against guilds with your kind of numbers. Interesting anyway to fight against you with our group of 13-14, but not for a whole evening, and definitely not for a whole week.

Irrwi, don’t forget that what you see is off-peak i.e. guilds aren’t online, no raids, just PUGs trying to do something together.
This afternoon at the reset, you’ll see something really different, although you won’t have your normal raid (hum, blob :p) capacity due to timezones, which is good b/c we believe 4 raids of 20 are much more effective than a blob of 80.
But there’s indeed quite an important difference between EU and NA playstyle, which is kinda interesting. We noticed this when a few french guilds migrated to NA D1 in order to cover timezones.

@Teel SE don’t use omegas either :p

Arodok.

1. 5 targets limit
2. Skill lag
3. Downed system

Nemesys.7251:

17 on and that moment,ty to sow guild for the couple of fight we have done.

ps: /wave to mya.

Thanks as well.
We were 14. 12 SoW+2 guests.
There was quite a huge number difference in your group between the first fight (south, between the bridge and the ruins) and the 2 others, wasnt it?
Should try and organise a GvG during the league if you are into that kind of fights.

Essa.5826:

No solo roamers from FR/DE?

There are plenty on FR off-prime. SoW, PRD, Gank, Haaa, etc.

Awesome fights against FS guilds tonight on Miller map. /burp @ german mono-blob in the other hand. Seriously disgusting. Guys, split up, you’re losing everything on the map but garison and you can’t win a fight when double impacted.

This MU rocks.
/excited

Nice lil fight against ODZ late tonight on Drakkar BL. Any ODZ here ?
We were 9, think you were something like 13-15 ?
Shame GDR added on fight #2 :‘( Sorry about that.
Shame as well you didn’t engage fight #3 and tried to run inside your tower instead… guys we are 9, I know we killed you twice but is that a reason to run away like chickens ? -_-

dude you play 640*480 or wtf? :o your chat box is taking half the screen lol
btw there’s no glory at all killing EOs, probably the easiest ones on FR (mass recruitment and only PvD farming) – although they seem to be slowly getting better.

When you added on our fight against DL at bluewater lowlands, you were more than 20.
Same goes for the fight between your spawn and longview. Think you’re the one miss counting, especially seeing you had guests players tonight, some had a different guild tag, can’t remember which one exactly tho. You’re zerging just admit it :p

If you mean guesting from another server then nope. Unless they change it, then you can’t do that. Guesting from one server to another server made it so you can’t join wvw and it was done for a reason so one can’t use it as a cheap way to join another wvw.

….
by guests I mean non TaG players obviously

our small guild group of around 15

Beg pardon? :o

Darkstorn.5423:

Congratulations to Blob Ranik for finally taking Bay in RoF after having their full map skill lag us so hard we couldnt use skills. I guess after getting farmed for days and days they decided to just bring everyone and bug us out

You must be kidding me.
Seriously.
Dude it was prime time.
Three T3 keeps.
QQ cuz we broke your toy? You paid for the keep upgrades? You wanted to farm more easy bags being comfortable behind siege weaponry?
Take example on TaG comments and acknowledge our move was great, although very late (should’ve done that way earlier) – great idea from Alystene but it’s kinda hard and long to coordinate with Fort Ranik as they’ve not a lot of experience doing such things.

Also to add to ich’s reply about our population, so yeah we’ve got one more roaming guild originally from AR, then JS, then SFR – wtf :o – but we noticed transfers to our server are free at the moment (mid pop) and I guess we received a lot of unannounced PUG backup from league 3 servers.
Speaking of which, are you really staying in L3 Bratwa? Guys with your setup you’ll be really bored against servers like Vabbi.

Brand new one: http://youtu.be/6gyyhDpPDS8
Power Necro PoV, 1080p, still 10-15vsX fights

pejot.4806:

Well, as expected, all RoF fairweathers went back to PvE when things become tough. Last week, we had queue for EB most of the time, now we have this

Some of my guild mates were ready to press the “migrate” button to join you guys for a week, but the others are p*ssies afraid to face Ranik’s comments when we get back. QQ

PS: we were 9 SoW tonight, running on our own. Think the only time we were more was when the small aZm+Lyre group joined for Askalion’s defense.

Realm defender & master of disaster still bugged.

Same bug as Wasbunny. Made a /bug report in game.

Some achievements are missing (e.g. realm avenger), others are shown as completed although they aren’t (e.g. realm defender for spending 10 supply).

Cheers.

Boring week for FR – afk!

1080p, 10-15vsX

Hi,

Had 2 ascended rings with MF – stored them in my bank since they had a reset in terms of stats and were now account bound.
But today, as I wanted to select stats and equip them with another toon, I noticed that they are soulbound to the character that stored them in the bank?
Is this a bug or working as intended?

Thanks.

Monkey time at the very end

Here’s a video from past week’s MU. It’s quite short as we walked through enormous German monoblobs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jj3WEPHxOVw

Please note the fights south Askalion and in front of our spawn vs the spanish team are 10vsX, the rest are ~15vsX fights.

Hi there,

We’re a 10-15 players WvW team on Fort Ranik [FR]. You can see what we do on our videos.
Here’s a new one with our new “back to school” setup:

Enjoy watching and see you on the battlefield!

Eulolia.2467:

the things that drop them are daily.

not in WvW :P

bump

Mistro.3059:

Essentially the Deldrimor Steel Ingots, and Spiritwood Planks (and their pre-reqs Mithrillium and Elder Spirit Glob).

From what I have experienced, only the pre-reqs (i.e. ectos reffinements) are limited to once a day. There’s no cooldown on Deldrimor Steel Ingots and Spiritwood Planks.

Hi there,

Looked for this kind of report on various sections of the forums but couldn’t find anything – apologies if it has been posted already.

Alright – I’m a WvW player, and since culling has been removed from PvE, the game is sometimes not behaving as it should i.e. skills not working, players teleporting, mates losing connection to server etc. I’m no expert but it seems obvious to me that the servers load due to the removal of culling in PvE is way too high for the game to run smoothly.
Seems to happen in PvE as well but it’s especially annoying in WvW. It’s completely random, and different from the already existing (pre patch) server lag that happens when too many players are in the same area e.g. 200 toons fighting in stonemist.

Would just like to be assured that Anet is aware of the issue and working on it. Thanks V much. All the best.

FYI there aren’t so much Canadian players on FR servers, most of them are playing on US servers for better latency, and also because the french community is quite special (e.g. /t is used for trolling and other franco-french discussions instead of clear info on moves etc.).
The fact is many french players don’t have a job and play during the night.

This is for WvW. I’m 80 and with full exotic gear. Most of the time I win up to 1vs3-4.

Idea is to use the berserker phantasm + 1 and 2nd greatsword skills in order to range-DPS.
When an enemy or more come to melee, switch to sword/focus and use the focus phantasm + sword skill 2.

Speed, 2 snares, reflecting bubble (+ reflecting phantasm & speed – having 3 skills of this kind is quite useful for sieges), some nice AE damage, blink, null field. I switch the elite skill depending on situations.

Any feedback welcome
