Guild Wars 2

Why don’t Sylvari drop logs as loot when you kill them in WvW?

I won a 1vs30 last night (BP had the 30). I’ve made 200g this week in pvp playing 2 hours a night (took Sunday off – Dexter) and I’ve seen BP cheating at least 73 times.

Who cares? It’s just a dungeon run. You can go naked if you want.

I always enjoy this topic. It should be posted more often..

Only a WvW player knows this feeling…

I don’t understand why WvW players don’t have laurels. WvW is pretty much all I do and I had all my ascended gear except for one accessory which I just bought today from the WvW laurel vendor. The daily laurel quest has always been easy and is even more easy now. If you have made the choice in the past not to gear up by doing this ridiculously easy quest everyday during the course of playing WvW then you need to live with that choice now and stop complaining. You messed up by not taking advantage of the opportunities available, shut up and live with the consequences.

You guys will complain about literally anything

SoS change is just stupid. Give us the old version back. Moving across a map is like riding the subway now, with all the local stops. The “fix” to our broken swiftness ability makes us slower. Excellent work.

It’s not pvp without this…

Rejoice SBI. Borlis Pass just Waypointed and Tier 3 Walled Yak’s Bends hills. Now another server can experience your pain.

Little Man Syndrome

A popular term for the inferiority complex that often occurs in men with self-perceived shortcomings (height, income, physical appearance), which causes them to overcompensate by attempting to belittle and offend others in order to make themselves feel superior.

Torrid and Reiko. Duel once in spvp and once in WVW behind a windmill. Problem solved for both of you.

Different rulesets. The challenge and the insults are associated with performance in WvW so the duel should be in WvW. I’m surprised one of these guys is chickening out so publicly.

Wow, this thread got really annoying really fast

The stealth nerf did nothing of any consequence, the culling fix was beside the point and in no way related to 1v1 or even small scale fights so the impact on thieves was minimal. I think the reason you see fewer thieves is because they’re either buried in the zerg or they rerolled because there is less opportunity to get the small fights/1v1s now that everyone is surfing the zergs for wxp.

We don’t zerg & we don’t care about ppt but here you are on a thursday night trying to flip everything like crazy, so who was the guys who named a few guilds & said they were the voice of Magumma? sorry dude my post got reported and deleted with yours anyways can you see what’s happening? this is hilarious.

Someone got zergbusted.

QQ’ing about getting zerged is so 2012, move on buddy.

I encourage you to have a little more context before replying.

Here…

<-check my history

Formulating reply full of context I’ll get back to you, siege monkey.

“Insult” out of context as well… sigh you should just stop.. you’re terrible at this :/

Trying to find a Napoleon quote, but I think we exhausted them all.

How about..

Peetee.9406:

I have a hard time believing that you would rather have a +35 tick and trolls on the forums then tick away at +405 and having an opponent that respects your determination.

Or perhaps you’re just roleplaying as a masochist and I’m being trolled, it’s hard to tell with you TC guys…

First of all, I’m on SBI

Second, you do realize killing me and trolling me are the only two things people can do to me in this game right?

For instance:

They can’t take all my loot when I die
They can’t take my gear and leave me wearing nothing but a robe
They can’t take my house key
They can’t kill my horse and eat it in front of me
They can’t cut off my head and sell it on their vendor
They can’t give me murder counts
They can’t keep me from leveling
They can’t keep me from farming gold
They can’t res kill me
They can’t leave me stranded on an island
They can’t even communicate directly with me in game

All they can do is kill me. I have to actually make a choice to visit this forum to be trash talked so they can’t even troll me without my consent. PvP in this game is very sanitary and nice. So no, I’m not a masochist. I just don’t view a repair bill and a little trash talk as very much of a consequence to losing a fight.

Nah he said it correctly. If I walk through my kitchen to get to my garage I have removed myself from the kitchen. The real question is what do people do when they’re done in the JP…do they have to queue to get back into EB, go to Lion’s Arch or have the option of going to another BL straight from the JP?

The real shame is that I have to walk through my kitchen at all to get to my garage. Why can’t we just go into the garage and skip the line to get into the kitchen?

Excellent point, how much supply to build a waypoint in a garage?

35g? I could afford to be in that guild for 4.7 days

Words have consequences. BS took your claims at face value. When I said see you on the battlefield, I meant immediately. This screenshot is ENTIRELY due to this post

I feel like I can look up past match up threads, and every BP bragging screen will be posted after SBI all goes to bed. It happens all the time.

What time do you guys go to bed? This was at like 8pm PST last night.

I’m pretty sure there were a lot of SBI playing late into the night last night. Unfortunately for our PPT they were all spread across multiple Divinity’s Reach overflow maps

BP isn’t perfect, but it isn’t anything like SBI.Get caught cheating and then try so hard to cover for it. What happened was much easier to explain. They got caught cheating, and are now trying to figure a way out of the impending punishment.

Anyone who cheats, even if unintentional, should get a permaban. You can’t easily say who did it on purpose, and who did it by accident. So ban them all. It’s better to make a few people mad and have a good play environment.

Of course SBI won’t agree with that, and we all know why.

Ok maybe BP’s forum skills aren’t on par with Maguuma after all. This is the worst troll post I’ve ever seen.

It isn’t a troll. People can claim “oh I went through the gate by accident” all they want. The reality is I have more time in wvw than most people on these threads. Yet I have never, not once, went through a gate inappropriately.

So yeah, permaban. Don’t care which server you are on, if you cheat you deserve to be gone. I will report anyone on either side I see cheating when I can. It’s hard sometimes because you get blown up while trying to do it.

Of course it’s a troll, look how hard you’re trying. You can claim “oh it’s not a troll” all you want. The reality is I have more time on gaming forums than most people on these threads. Yet I have never, not once, incorrectly identified a troll post.

So yeah, it’s a troll. Don’t care which server you are on, if you troll you deserve to be called out on it. I will report anyone on either side I see trolling when I can…

You should be using Executioner anyway

OMG BANNOK YOU ARE TWISTING TEH LIONS TALE! STOP IT!

Not even going to list all the reasons..

You really should

Ah kitten, I thought you said we were moving to Anvil Rock?

How much to transfer back to SBI? I have 6g76s left..

Chris Whiteside.6102:

Finally, World vs. World is a free-for-all battle.

No, it’s not. But FFA is the one thing that would make this game amazing. Give us a Mordred type server and you’ll probably never have to hear about GvG again.

At least not from people who really know what it means…

xFireize.6318:

Yuck.. So much whining. I guess not a lot of people saw this coming when the patch preview was posted a month ago.

Pretty sure everyone saw this coming judging by all the feedback that was given (and ignored)

Esprit Dumort.3109:

Because of that, we have servers who are perma-Outmanned and servers with 5 hour queues.

Anyone who waits in a 5 hour queue is an idiot

30 minutes is sort of a pain. At least let us see a refresh timer for each piece of siege or let us hit up an NPC in the tower to refresh all the siege in there. Better yet, let me pay an NPC 10 silver to refresh all the siege in the tower for the next 4 hours.

I think of it as college divisions. We might be doing ok in our division but would have no business going up against a Division I team because we are just a small New England liberal arts college with only about 3,000 students. Or something like that.

as long as you’re admitting that BP is a liberal arts college full of future starving artists and SBI students are actually studying something useful at tech university.

I guess that makes NSP some random high school team thats making us all look bad by not losing hard enough.

Server ranking is very much based on how many people on the server play WvW. It does not matter how much skill you have if an opponent can fill all the maps 24/7 and you can’t do the same, which is generally what occurs with the tiers above 4 from what I understand. It also sucks hard if you don’t have a large Australian/Asian player base but your opponent does, because this means at 3 AM all your stuff is getting PvDoored and made wood overnight, forcing you to spend the morning clawing back, and the evening upgrading only to have it happen all over again after you go to bed.

Incidentally, there is still no reason for SBI to be losing this match. Yet they still insist on sending 70 Man zombie hordes against the 10-15 people we got in Eternal while their Borderlands is left to the tender mercies of our skill groups.

You just illustrated the reason why SBI is now losing the match. We have a lot of primetime and weekend players. We did very well over the weekend and now our coverage gaps are coming into play. Right now you’re ticking 360 to our 135 because you have more people playing right now than we do. It’s not a knock against you guys or even an excuse for us, it’s just the way the game is played.

It doesn’t really matter what happens in primetime, there are more off-peak hours in the day. We could literally run the table before midnight every night but be unable to defend anything an hour or two later. Most of us go to bed then go to work the next day. You’ve got good coverage, enjoy it.

The main issue/source of frustration with the thief class is that thieves don’t have to finish fights that they start while their opponents rarely have that option. If a thief opens on someone and the fight starts to go bad they can just leave and re-engage after cooldowns are refreshed or leave completely to find a softer target. If the fight goes bad for the other player they rarely have the option of breaking off combat from the thief due to the thief’s superior mobility.

Stealth clearly needs to be nerfed whether my fellow thieves think it’s fair or not. Stealthing mid-combat over and over while your opponent can only wail about hoping to get a lucky shot in is just a silly mechanic. Any thief who actually dies while doing this is simply horrible. There is no risk unless you are noticeably outnumbered.

Fighting someone who has to have a heart attack or a seizure in order for you to win just isn’t fun for some people.

What if engineers had some siege related abilities:

- Build siege weapons for less supply
- Increased damage from siege weapons when operated by an engineer
- Faster turning of siege weapons when operated by an engineer
- Ability to salvage siege weapons for supply
- Ability to repair siege weapons
- Ability to carry more supply (15 normally, 20 from upgraded camps)
- I would say increased range but I think trebs would mess that up so increased range on everything but trebs
- Faster movement while operating siege golems

ps – I don’t play an engineer but that class needs some serious help and everyone would want one around if they had siege related abilities.

kfarb.6732:

As a Recruitment Ambassador for Sea of Sorrows (#1 wvw tier1 superserver), I would suggest you join us. We have a time between 11:30AM and 12:00PM GMT when we do not have a queue in blue borderlands. If you can fill this timeslot, please whisper me asap. Transfers are usually impossible since so many people want to be a part of the #1 server, but we can coordinate a server blackout to let you transfer over.

A bit about our server:
-Large enough amount of players to save money on siege when taking keeps/towers.
-Active map chat.
-Two weeks of vacation time per year.
-Three (3) days unpaid sick leave. (Based on assumptions that every player puts in eight hour shifts. These hours can be used at will – ie, you do not need to use an entire day for a half-day leave.)
-Military command hierarchy that allows players to know their role. (Disrespect of commanders will result in -50 DKP.)
-Automated voicemail system to notify commanders when you won’t be able to log in.

As a new recruit you will be relegated to sentry duty. Each “sentry scout” is required to sit at each crossroads and sentry point and report on map activity. You will be afforded a generous 40 minute lunch break and two ten minute breaks. (Please remember to whisper your commander when you are going to take this time off!! We have had issues in the past.) After two weeks of sentry duty you will be promoted to dolyak escort services, but may be tapped for supply running if you stand out.

If you would like to play at any other time besides 11:30AM-12:00PM GMT, I apologize but this may not work out. Let me know if this sounds appealing to you or anyone else reading and I can forward you the appropriate paperwork. Please do not waste our time as Sea of Sorrows superserver is only interested in dedicated players.

Edit: Forgot to add, we are currently seeking staff elementalists only.

Best. Post. Ever.

Lol @ BS, U mad bro?

Since my last post got deleted, let me rephrase it this way. We don’t care if you take our keep, or our borderlands. We have more fun than you, day in, and day out. You guys are not even in the NA top 10, yet you play for points. All this means is that if you win your matchups, 10 other servers are doing it better than you anyways. While you make your members sit in towers to be static scouts, all of our guys are out having fun because that’s all that matters to us. I pass down this advice from a server who has already been at tier 1, and seen what it does to a community when you inevitably fall from grace. We play for fun, and you play for points. Come on to the forums all you want, we’ll be busy turning you and your guild into loot bags and chasing you into your towers. Stop bragging about beating up an outmanned server and exceptional PvDoor skills. We already come to expect this from BP, and especially the Borlis Savers guild.

<3

I ain’t even mad now. Blowing up the last of your upgraded towers and keeps did wonders for my peace of mind

Wow, bragging about PvDoor again? That must be the only thing you can do.

I’ve gotten nothing to prove, let alone brag about. Incidentally, I’m sure the people who do want to play WvW this week are probably not enjoying the fruits of your trolling. If SBI does suck at WvW during special events, perhaps you should not be twisting the lions tail and making your server the focus?

We’ve been focused by SoR and TC in the same matchup when we were fielding about 20% of our current numbers. Are you seriously trying to intimidate us? That’s cute Mr. Lion

Cactus.2710:

No chance of that happening. War Machine has way too much loyalty to ever leave their server, as this link proves …. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/SBI-WarMachine

Oh wait …

L-O-kittening-L

I actually think they should go a step further and balance based on 1v1

Tricare.2946:

SBI is full of scared zerg guilds that can’t do anything on their own.

Well…that didn’t take long

I’ve been wondering this for awhile now so I’m just gonna ask…

Is Devona’s Rest always this whiny?

Any chance this thread makes it to page 2?

I made 280 gold last night in 3 seconds

I clicked on this topic when I was a teenager and now I have three kids in college

Absinth.6917:

I can certainly understand some of the vitriol being spewed by certain posters from TC. If SBI had not imploded, and this was a true 3-way fight, then I would like to think that perhaps the tone of this thread would be different.

Hey don’t blame us (SBI) for your poor displays of sportsmanship this week. Adversity reveals character. In this case, we have sore losers and sore winners. Anyone can put on a happy face when there is an evenly constested, competitive match. It’s when things aren’t quite as fun that we see who we really are…and some of you (on SoR and TC) should be very embarrassed about who you really are.

SoR – this is the match you played for last week, well you got it. We know it’s boring but that’s your fault, no one elses. Deal with it.

TC – Of course you’re going to get camped. Think of the message they’re trying to send and see if you really want to respond. SoR is running around in massive groups and camping the respawns (of TC and SBI). They don’t want you out there fighting. They want to discourage you from entering WvW so they can dominate the map. You need to accept this before you walk down those steps. You’re going to get zerged and camped and taunted, that’s the game this week. Know that going in and you’ll be better off.

SBI – I really think we’re in the best position of the three servers this week. On Friday we’ll be in a more competitive bracket for our server size. We’ll still probably be short on numbers but we won’t have to put up with what’s been going on thus far in this matchup. For the rest of the week just know that you’ll be up against 2-5x you’re numbers in any given fight so just take out as many as you can. We’re winning anything close to an even fight so we’ll most likely see more numbers thrown at us as the week drags on.

Also SBI, please don’t come to the forums to complain about being camped or laughed at. It’s happened to all of us in the past couple of weeks and it’ll probably happen even more this week. Our opponents are frustrated so they’re going to take that frustration out on us given the chance. They’re going to kick us when we’re down because that’s really the best time to kick someone. Just get through the week however you need to and be ready to go on Friday night.

Swords are a good idea in general but they’re implemented poorly. Orange swords should be dps/damage based, not based on the number of players in the area. If a wall or gate is taking damage above a certain dps threshold (i.e. lots of siege equipment/golems) the orange swords should go up no matter how many players are delivering the damage. If the wall or gate hits 50% orange swords should go up regardless.

If they put a waypoint in the JP couldn’t you access it from any wvw map?

I’m not sure how many other ways this can be said…

In no way is this change to SoS a buff. Before the patch there was no prep time and you could refresh swiftness on the run with minimal boon duration bonuses. Any time spent standing still in a circle buffing swiftness is time that was spent already running at swiftness speed prior to the patch. You could basically take off running at swiftness speed and not stop until you got to where you were going. Having to wait for pulses now is the nerf.

I would like to throw this out there for public consumption. Why not 2v1 Db?

This will do nothing to effect NNK-O’clock during the TFV timezone points, but it may help even out the off hours. Also it will really test our other times. I personally think Mags NA coverage can match up against us, I dont know about SBI.

Because it’s a useless tactic unless it affects the score. SBI is a NA primetime server mainly. No matter what we do our towers and keeps are going to get taken while we’re not playing. There’s no reason to cut our potential for fights in half during the small window each day when we field a reasonable sized force. We can’t really affect the overall score so it doesn’t really matter to us, we just want to kill both of you when we’re online.

You guys should stop playing video games and get better jobs

Hey guess what? Christmas is basically the same every year too.

I’ve frontlined with full cleric gear with as little as 15k hit points depending on spec. It really comes down to maxing out toughness and having a reliable solution to conditions. I’d say anything less than 3100 toughness will be tough if you run clerics gear. If you run sentinels you can probably get away with a little less (I’d still max it out though). I try to stay above 1500 healing which means empower is a 3100+ heal and each dodge roll heals for about 1800.

As for condition removal you have your shouts, runes and food to rely on. You can always grab smite condition instead of three shouts but I find it less useful in large groups. Being able to cleanse, especially with something like Save Yourselves, makes a huge difference. Personally if I were commanding I’d run with Melandru runes in addition to lemongrass soup. Conditions won’t really bother you that much.

I also have a few guildmates who frontline with the pvt and sentinel gear with soldier runes and they have decent survivability as well. They can’t really match a well played healer in staying power but the healer can’t really smash people with a big hammer as well as they can either.

Lucentfir.7430:

xFireize.6318:

A 1v1 fight between 2 guardians should never end. If one dies, he/she is a bad guardian. And no, a bunker guardian shouldn’t be killed by a DPS guardian. Maybe OP should find a different class to fight against and post this thread to his/her current match-up thread instead.

A DPS guardian can indeed win against bunker specced guardians with relative ease. If they’re specced healway it’s just a tad more difficult to get them down. It’s just a little more time consuming is all.

Don’t be silly

The whining in this forum is quickly reaching ArcheAge levels

It’s not really “night capping”, it’s “day capping” in a different timezone
