Guild Wars 2

Its not an exploit. The change of you having him there is not big. And its pretty hard to get to them to fight eachother. Most of the time you will get owned with them teaming up on you. But if you get it right it is quite funny to watch doh. Troll wins btw.

Something that i came passed in WvW. Made a bugged report about it. It seems that if you hit the wall with trebuchet so that you don’t damage the stuff thats on top. And you will destroy the wall. Everything that was on top will stay there. Ive seen a balista doing this as wel. Haven’t been able to make a screen of it doh. Did make a screen of this guy.

Lol you should have looked yesterday evening at WvW. We have 75% of the map. Whiteside is doing fine against a high populated server like Drakkar. Seems that Drakkar is taking WvW more serious now and that means they need to go up a little to match their numbers.

Whiteside is doing fine. Just don’t expect us rocketing up the ranks week after week.

There was a trend of guilds transfering from RoS to Vabbi because this was the “better” server. They got contacts on these servers and played on Vabbi for a week or so then they left to a American server and took those guilds from Vabbi with them. So this Alliance drained 2 servers of guilds personaly. Im not sure if it was their intention but they personaly started a leak of guilds on both servers resulting in RoS and Vabbi being on the bottom now.

I don’t think its a total loss as FoW and RoS where looking for a 3 “empty” server. Maybe Vabbi can fill this spot.

Spotted A group bots on Drakkar Lake [DE] too tonight. Working the kraits in the borderlands lake. We thought we go kill them time and time again then Drakkar Lake started to protect them strangely enough…

So noone has any remarks on this?

First off i want to talk a little bit about my server Whiteside Ridge and how we are doing. Since friday we are playing Drakkar Lake [DE] and Vabbi. The match started out great. I think the fights in the first night where oke but Drakkar Lake beat our kitten and took most of the map. Saturday in the day was really close and fun to play. Saterday night we took most of the map and kept it due too some very good people. Sunday was also fun to play with some really good fights. Now sunday evening came around and im looking at this (attachment).

I think its pretty clear, if nothing big happens, what the standings will be on friday and that makes me kinda sad. Most people get demotivated and most matches are decided thuesday/wednesday. A lot has been said about this and fingers have been pointed in different direction on this. Now i want to aproach this from another angle.

Something that bothers me a little bit is that my server will never be able to play the top server in Europe. At least not in the near future. Maybe we will get our kitten kicked maybe not. But as now we are stuck with the same 5-6 servers hopping above and under us. To be able to play differents teams is something i would really like to see. So this idear spun out of that.

WvW cup:

- Reduce the current week matchups to a Monday-Friday Competition. (this wil be the same as the matchups are now)
- Introduce a Saterday-Sunday cup weekend. (This wil be against random enemies with a winner/loser bracket)

Pro’s:

- In the weekends more people are online and able to game into the late hours. (maybe even willing to do so)
- People have something to look forward to in the weekend if the week match doesn’t go really well.
- People will be able to test their skills and tactics against maybe much higher opponents.
- People will have a more mixed week schedule with different opponents.
- Arenanet will get more data so they can balance out the week more quickly.
- People will be motived to join in in the weekend to participate even do they may not play WvW normaly. (especially for lower servers this may be a good thing).

Something to think about. I would love to hear your opinion about this. But i do think this will have potential in the future.

Grevane.6570:

This is the current score my server match-up has after just under 12 hours of the new match.

Please tell me this isn’t intented, that one server can get such a huge lead just because they had a force present in each map where the other two did not. I hardly played the last match we had because over one night we went from 10k points from first to 20k. To have such a huge point disadvantage has taken out what little motivation I had to play this broken mess.

Please, to keep WvW enjoyable for all, make point gain scale depending on the population of each server throughout the WvW maps. If server A has 20+ people on each map taking everything and the other two have no presence, server A should gain a tiny amount of points to reflect that.

This is getting ridiculous as I’m sure like in our last match up we will do great during prime time, yet lose overall because the top server takes everything at night with no opposition.

I really, really want to enjoy myself in WvW and while the large scale fights are fun, seeing this when you log in after just 12!!! hours is a huge disincentive to play.

Our match result has all ready been decided and nothing we can do will change that. Any effort we make during the day/evening will be erased by a night zerg taking everything back, leaving them with a nice +20 points overnight.

Well un update on this matchup. Seems we are a little better at holding our own in the night then Vabbi is. This is going to be an “interesting” week. Anyone wanna lay down some bets on the standings on friday?

2 is fine. I just think the cd on 3 is a bit on the high side. As other classes can prevent being stomped earlier then the elementalist can. Still that doesn’t mean 2 isn’t usefull.

You should look at the Rangers downed skills thats even harder to stay up when downed.

If you can’t use it your just using it wrong. really.

Why? It keeps the ranged attackers from getting close enough to stomp you. Gives you enough time to get your 3 ready too. Its even effective if you go down in a fight and binding your fleeing enemy.

As a mostly WvW Elementalist with staf i have to say don’t use the fast ground targeting as it can screw up some of the difficult corners for hitting siege equipments just right.

I play a Fire 30/Water 0/Air 30/Earth 10/Arcane 0/ build focussing on crit and spell duration (moventspeed). Get the vulnability stack on crit sigil on the staf.
The way i play it is i want to have my aoe spells last as long as i can. As then i can keep people of places i don’t want them to be at. If then someone is stupid enough to stay on the place of my aoe you can nuke him down with Fire 5/ Fire 2/ Fire 3 / Arcaneblast / Autoattack(s). This works way better then people expect.

As Elementalist we are very social beings in WvW. We like to have our people around and using a Teleport/ Air 5 / Air 3 to stun/knock a enemy into your group is very effective.

Keep mobile, keep social and keep active.

Im on Ruins of Surmia and we are also having a hard time against the blitzkrieg of the germans. If i may give you an advise as to get something started on your server. This is what i have been doing and works quite well.

Ask in chat if people want to join your 5 man party to take camp/guards and Quaggen camps. Most people online do really want to play and attack stuff. Start attacking the smaller objectives that you can handle. People start to notice that and will join in. Keep communicating in chat but don’t rage or command people to do anything. Tell them what your doing and where you are headed. That’s where the chat is for.

Within an hour we had 25+ people attacking and taking 2 towers and the garrison. Then we encountered the Dragonzur and had a hard time. It may be hard to believe but you have to educate your server. Start a spark and people will join in. But be nice and clear towards other people.

Even do you may not win this matchup keep trying. Get better, faster and keep morale up.

I also am on Ruins of Surmia and have been there from the start. My guild has seen everything that happened to our server for better or for worse. The first week we where fine. Guild growing alliances being build. We where doing fine on WvW. Even won one of the 24h battles with big numbers if i recall correctly.

Then a trend started to ocure. We would be very dominant in prime time and would lose everything 1-2 hours after. The bigger guilds got very frustrated by this as we where still losing the match even do we where doing great in prime time. So they decided to leave. All of them in 1 night.

After that we had a bad streak and the sad part was it was just before the 7 days matches began. So we where without any big guilds and where defeated by Whiteside and Drakkar Lake [DE] that week. Totaly demoralising our server. I do have to point out here that we do still have some dedicated commanders that are still trying to lead this server, somethimes with great sucses.

My point being here. We always lost during the night. And im not blaming the “night capping” as its called for this. I don’t want to blame anything for this.
We always lost because our server went to bed 1-1,5 hour earlier then the other server did. In that time they took most of our keeps and towers and upgraded them. When we would wake up everything would be max upgraded. Something i find very odd thats even possible in that time frame.

Our server is on the bottom now and that is fine. We can see exactly what our server is and we are working to make this better. Its an uphill battle as we lack the manpower a little bit but thats also fine. I can play WvW any time i want. Can jump in and out without any que’s. We do what we can and can only go up from here. Ive also seen some transfers to our server wich is also good to hear.

People always see the bad in things. Sure, there are some parts wich can be improved. But the most important part is to create a strong and fun community. There will allways be people trying to mess with that in any way they can. But if you have fun with your mates playing the game isn’t that wat counts?

Free transfers is fine to keep the community flexible and the 24h cap is good enough to stop some of the abuse. Don’t let the actions of a few be reason to change this.

I chose the order of secrets and visited it in the personal story. I figured it would be the same instance. Apparently not. Thought it would be just like the point of interest in Fort Trinity thats only accessible threw personal story.

So i got my prices. Thx anyways.

Y same for me too. I have 100% completion and did only get the last chest for the area. I first thought i had to complete the “Been there done that” achievement as mine is stuck at 97%. But i read that would be a bug? Next i thought i should have completed all the dungeons. So same question for me. Did i supose to get something on 100% completion or at completion from the “Been there done that” achievement?
