Guild Wars 2

Power Block is only good in its current state with allowing the interrupted rezzes/stomps/etc. Without allowing those types of interrupts, it’s rather lame, especially in comparison to Chaotic Interrupt builds. I’m hoping the trait is actually working as intended instead of bugged.

Bunker guards are going to have so much fun trying to cleanse party conditions…

52. You can take falling damage while running down a slope/hill and end up dead or very low health at the bottom. Probably due to lag or other packet loss on player location.

53. Downed/dead players are sometimes not in the location where their character models appear making it difficult to resurrect or stomp them until you find their invisible “true” corpse.

Hello all,

Are you looking for a hardcore WvW guild that places an emphasis on team tactics and class composition? Then EXS might just be the guild for you.

Before you apply:

• We are based on the Stormbluff Isle Server
• EXS has a Home Guild Representation policy
• EXS runs Guild WvW 6 nights a week in 3 hour blocks (7pm-10pm server time)
• Applicants must be able to commit to at minimum 2 of 6 nights per week (ideally 4 of 6)
• Our recruitment process includes a 2 week recruit trial period. We have a very lean guild structure (there are no arbitrary ranks), so this period is necessary and is outlined in our charter.

We are actively seeking the following classes but we would urge all hardcore WvW players to apply (recruitment is always open through our website):

High

• Guardians
• Elementalists

Medium

• Warriors

Low

• Necromancers

Warning to any guilds wanting to GVG TC guilds [EXS] and [ROT], from watching them GVG a BG guild (not mine) they only fight if they have double the numbers. Also if your’re watching GVG (even if you’re on the hill and not attacking) [EXS] will mass attack ppl watching, during the GVG or after it….

You know, if you want to make things up, you could at least attach a screenshot or something… luckily for you, everything was recorded ^^

Oh goody, so you wont mind posting what you claim to have? Also I notice you dont deny zerging solo spectators sitting on the hill, smart move.

LOL, I just realized what you’re talking about with the “double the numbers” thing. After checking the footage, you weren’t even at the GvG until it was over. That last bit you saw was a random brawl, not an actual round (I think Laorian might have been naked during that too and I was in quaggan tonic lol). I did notice you going into the down state while you were on the hill, but I have no idea how that happened (keep in mind that you showed up after everything was already done).

Anyways, since you obviously missed the actual scrim itself, here is the footage so you can see it was clearly 15v15 during the actual fights:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfu5wUo_ifI

Your own footage shows 20 not 15, and nope i showed up DURING the fights NOT after so try again. I was there for about half an hour watching the GvG “fights”. And yes your guild did down me while i was watching on the hill. So btw you claim 3-0 but you lost by GvG rules because you had more numbers than the side you were fighting.

So you guys can’t WvW or GvG? I’m sure your good at PvE tho?

Um… now you’re just trying way too hard to troll… anyone that cares enough to pause the video and actually count can clearly see we have 15 on the field lol… Even if you were counting us when we had our ending salutes/bows, we only had 18 total (15+3 subs). Not sure how everyone else does it, but we like to bring all of our guys down to line up for the final salute.

If you truly and honestly believe we had 20 people on the field during the fights, then I suppose we’ll take that as a complement and thank you for it. So cheers, and see you on the field

We are currently seeking the following classes, but all hardcore players are encouraged to apply:
- 2x Necromancers
- 2x Guardians
- 1 x Mesmer

Odies.8017:

I want to thank RoT and EXS for the great fights tonight both in open field and the GvGs. We knew what we were getting ourselves into and had tons of fun. Hopefully we will see them again this week and in future match ups.

-Laorian Ashborn

Props to our friends in ZN for the scrims tonight. Thanks for the fights guys, we’ll miss having you all here with us! Hope BG is treating you well and we look forward to seeing you again. Also, <3 Yewki

I gotta say, the constant warping and skill lag makes team coordination a bit annoying… especially when you tack on the lag resulting from zerg battles.

Videos have been updated. Recruitment is still open!

Not sure if it’s just me, but it has occasional loading issues (slow or doesn’t load).

Jinks, did u mean 9/12 instead of 9/13?

These guys are on Piken and I love watching them fight. They typically run 15 only. Thought you all might find it interesting to see a clip from them:

http://youtu.be/dSrMVTcRP2o

Get outta here love

Haha no :p …. It’s a good example of how 15 defeat massive blobs … And these guys will be touring NA soon … So should probably take a gander

Hey Bamby :P Any idea how soon?

p.s. VII’s new vid for early august is pretty awesome too

And the point of this thread is…?

ParaldaWind.4523:

…
It would also encourage guilds to GvG more often than once every two months.

Thoughts?

The only issue I could see is the possibility of a guild being blacked-out of matches in order to drop them from the ranking. Say Guild ABC is a top performing GvG guild and for whatever reason, everyone they try to match against decides to either duck the match or not show up. This would result in ABC being artificially dropped from the rankings whether they deserve to be dropped or not. Without a way to force matches to happen, it might not be the best idea to arbitrarily remove a guild’s position due to having no matches played. Rating decay would likely be the better choice, but by how much I couldn’t say.

electriette.8952:

This is why we need a GvG system in place alreadyyyyy.

Also, at that video, did I see a [Scnd] tag? Is that Second Law from EU or a different guild? Or am I blind?

Just curious~

It’s not Second Law. Guild named Second Alt using the same tag.

Okay, who broke SoR BL just now >:[

It depends when and which map you’re trying to get in. Reset queues are always crazy if you’re trying to get in with the reset crew for the big push (it’ll be like a 2-3 hour queue if you miss the reset). Around 10pm server time on reset day the queue goes down to like 2-10 minutes, which isn’t bad at all. The rest of the week the NA prime queues are usually around 5-10 minutes if you actually get a queue. The other time slots (Oceanic/SEA/EU) are wide open though (no queues) if you happen to play those hours.

Still looking for some dedicated WvW players, especially heavy classes.

Have you considered the mid-tier EU servers? The EU meta is different from the NA meta and honestly I think you have a better chance of finding what you’re looking for over there instead of on NA.

Kano.3720:

Man that 40man zerg of SF at 1 AM and 3 AM for others was pretty crazy. only about 20 max in EB. Had outmanned buff until we flipped your garrison. Managed to take it with 10 ppl. Hopefully You dont night cap us hard like IOJ tried to do.

If there’s any nightcapping going on, I’m pretty sure it won’t last past the weekend lol.

Congrats and sad to see RG go. Watching you guys play has been a great inspiration and a lot fun. Lookin forward to your next venture

pulsecodesgnl.3470:

I noticed they made a dev post saying they finally (freaking ANet) found the bug with the Dolyaks on the Blue team for EB, and that they will be fixing it soon. Anyone lemme know if it is out yet?

They only said they might have found the source, so it’s not clear at all if/when a fix will take place.

Yeah there’s a bunch of gate issues this week… on top of the yak bug for Durios/QL…. Good job Anet.

From what I know, Blackgate and Elona are also having the same problem with yaks not moving.

The second one you can replicate easily (put down an AC in the same spot and click through the gap above the gate). The third is a little messy to be able to tell (I think there’s a third AC covered by your minimap), but you can definitely hit inside with outside ACs due to the gap above the gate.

The first screenshot though… is definitely not legit.

Well hello again people lol

Some people and I have noticed that the animation for the Shattered Wings makes it appear as if the wings are flapping backwards instead of forwards. Has anyone else noticed that they seem to be moving in the wrong/reverse direction? I’m not sure if this animation was intended or not, but it’s rather odd.

SF is looking for weekday oceanics/night-owls if anyone wants to come our way… Please? XD

Deathstroke.5813:

For those of you who might know me i like to have some fun in tkitten JP. chase some people down till they decide to duel when im bored. cause a little havoc here and there with some guildies. but when someone finally challenges tto a duel i always accept. now these guys are a bunch of [insert expletive] and im calling you out. i tried partying with you to ask for a duel but got nothing. {JEDI], [GDUA]

Don’t know about the JEDI guys (never talked to one myself), but good luck getting anywhere with GDUA unless you speak spanish (and even then they tend to do their own thing).

I feel like this is gonna be a close match-up haha. Good luck!

styx.7294:

If you’re ever outnumbered by XOXO, quickly /bow to a random one and they’ll give you a 1v1. Now you’re no longer outnumbered!

This is proven strategy thumbs up

Hahaha, I’ll have to try this if we get matched up again and I find them all by my lonesome (then proceed to cry if it doesn’t).

So… when will more people be able to purchase our own custom arenas? I know myself and some others have been waiting a while to get our own.

Seven
It’s been fun runnin with ya in WvW and I’m sad to see a living legend leaving the game. You’ve left some big shoes to fill haha. Good luck on your next venture and maybe pay us a visit in mumble some time, particularly during those weekend evening hours

Keep on killin people with your stuffs :>

Sending all of NSP into the gladiator pit?

Dragon Bash!! Gotta get dem wings!

melodey.4652:

Is that all you got? Toppin it off with a Santa hat, bishes…

…
gdammit

melodey.4652:

I see your kitten and I raise you…

I’ll see that as well and raise you…

Panic.1862:

You would think that getting roflstomped by people that get wiped by pugs would be the bigger insult here. But thanks sweety. :*

Considering Abys regularly fields 30+ people and KING fields 5-12 as of late, I would sure hope you guys roflstomp’ed, for your sake…

melodey.4652:

If 30 out of 50 of them are in a VOIP with the commander, are they really pugs? My definition of Pick-Up Group doesn’t include instant and direct field commands. ~shrug

Mine neither. Must be nice to have 30 people in VoIP though. Do the comms get loud?

Panic.1862:

Like ABYS roflstomping KING a couple nights ago in NSP BL? That was a fun Open field fight right there.

Congrats I suppose, but at least they don’t get wiped by pugs…
