Thieves are broken and the only people who disagree are other thieves. When 1-2 thieves or a group of them can hold off entire groups/zergs simply by dancing around the edge of the ring long enough for reinforcement it is broken. Plain and simple.
An easy way to fix this would be to make the capture rings much smaller and making it that stealth doesn’t stop capture. I really don’t think anything else is required although thief mobility is insanely strong in WvW it isn’t much of an issue.
Gold isn’t hard in this game…I have 30g and multiple golems/trebs and nothing else to spend it on except keep upgrades once in a while. I never farm in pve.
Anet has said many times that they have a dedicated team of devs for WvW but I just don’t see it. There are never any content/fixes for WvW except for the times when huge bugs/exploits come up. Maybe they have 1 dude and they call him the WvW dev ‘team’? Dunno but its pretty obvious 100% of their focus is spvp and pve. It’s pretty sad too because WvW has so much potential but they just don’t care to improve it.
You look at the % of people per server who play WvW and I think its pretty obvious why they don’t care.
Thanks Dh for not being a craptard camping in puzzle, you iLL on the other hand, stop taking space up in WvW and go run bots for crying out loud if all you can do is camp people on the top of the well and so on.
Actually a whole slew of DH were camping the beginning and end of the JP earlier with ballistas and arrow carts and all.
The overall problem and aggression with all of this is, yet again, thanks to Sanctum of Rall. This is not Darkhaven’s tier. Maguuma and NSP are treating us like we’re right next to them, or even worse. We’re not. I’ve said this before but I guess it keeps falling on deaf ears.
During Rall vs SF vs DH, this is what the map used to always look like. Rall didn’t put up much of a fight at all.
And then the wvw week ended with Rall winning with 4 times the amount of points SF and DH had combined. A lot can be accomplished with a fly and ohko hack. At random times during the night properties would just change colors without notice.
This is why we plummeted all the way to the bottom. This was never supposed to happen. If things went properly, Maguuma and DH would have been facing each other the week after the first.
But no. We’re not the mighty server. We’re the server that’s ascending through the ranks through luck alone due to this imaginary and dominating night crew you guys keep bringing up. You want to know how many people took your keep in EB last night? 20. That is not a night crew.
1. SoR beat DH handily because of haxx
2. SoR gets an influx of WvW player base
3. NSP goes back and forth w/ SoR all week, leading the majority of the time (where 3-4 of the maps had queue times all week), and goes first to worst in the home stretch
4. NSP loses part of its dedicated WvW base (which holds 664 players at a time as someone earlier mentioned so any loss of dedicated WvW is a significant loss)
5. DH and NSP match up with DH getting the jump on a bummed out NSP
6. NSP makes a ~48hr run at DH’s lead, cutting it from 50-60k to 20k and then not doing anything for the last ~12hrs due to inevitability
7. NSP loses more of its dedicated WvW base (though nobody liked VIP anyway)
8. Mag, DH, and NSP match up and it is close for the first ~5-10hrs during which NSP somehow musters up enough manpower to have queues going in 2 of the 4 maps
9. NSP straddles outmanned buff in at least 3 maps from Saturday late morning-afternoon EST onward
10. DH forum poster uses ability to capture a keep with 20 people as a reflection of their skill and lack of their late night numbers rather than as a reflection of opponents’ late night numbers and ability to defend against small forces
11. DH forum posters continue to use NSP as a measuring stick while also saying NSP doesn’t measure up while also using 2 week old match vs SoR as a measuring stick for their server superiority
tl;dr: seems legit
Wow you seem mad. Shame lengthy forum posts can’t change WvW scores.
tl;dr My server is better than yours. We are superior so you must be mad about it.
Funny how a good portion of DH player posts in these threads tend to always have a stab somewhere in the paragraphs of text saying that they are winning so they are right. Most delusional posters I’ve seen so far on the official forums.
So my post calling out more Maguuma tinfoil-hattery was deleted oh well. I can say this thread is hilarious. That a few DH guilds hated or were worried enough about us that they would supposedly make an alliance is just funny. What they don’t know is that numbers > tactics. Mag has only won one match ever. We play for entertainment and always have. DH will win this week with their zerg tactics and we will just play as we always have.
Keep up the conspiracy theories in this thread; It’s grade A entertainment.
Selfishness ruining the game for 2 entire servers is a shame. Those newly transferred players to SoS will be crapping their pants when they get destroyed by a top 5 server next week.
Way to go server transfers. SoS now has 24/7 coverage and this week is completely ruined. Free transfers need to be turned off or else WvW will never be balanced.
It doesn’t work on ANY damage. It requires you get to <10% health and then you still take normal damage from everything. Its completely broken. Also it doesn’t even proc all the time. There have been many times I get hit to 500 health or so and it doesn’t go off.
I’ve tested it many many times against singular mobs.
The mist form at 10% is in such a broken state that it makes you MORE likely to die when it goes off (if it goes off at all).
What it is currently doing is taking away all weapon abilities and not doing anything else. I expected it to be like the elementalist mist form?
I also know there are multiple rune bugs out there currently that need to be fixed. The longer these runes go on broken the harder it is to see what runes are best fit for playstyle.
Uh having been in the voip of Maguuma EB borderlands yesterday night when it happened…I can say you are all calling wolf over nothing. We have done nothing on purpose to bug the keep as far as I know. We had lost the keep fairly and it was called on voip to regroup at eastern keep. When people found out the keep bugged it was met with surprise. Whatever though people just like to blame, kitten and whine.
Also LOLS at not using the trebs on garrison from spawn EB. That very same keep that ended up bugged was getting pummeled from THREE trebs on spawn cliffs before we were run out.
Apparently Ehmry Bay has an orb hacker among their midsts. Mag had the one in ehmry bay borderlands and it mysteriously reappeared at the top alter. HMMM
I can confirm that this happens when trying to upgrade silk bolts to gossamer bolts…I got pretty lucky though and got 40 ingots but still would’ve liked to get gossamer as they were worth 2x the price of ingots.
