Guild Wars 2

No one complained about colors and Anet change them and create new problems.

GG

Keep protecting yourselves.

I learned the lesson, next time you do this there will be a recorded video with the arrow cart user directly send to Anet for cheater report.

Well I agree that 10 vs 50 could be a fun challenge for a coordinated guild, but let’s be honest: when you have the outnumbered buff, the chances of seeing the 10-15 players build AC at the same time and defeat the 50 zerg is close to 0 most of the time.

Indeed, but most of the time they do this following the commander, because fast capturing towers and keeps gives a lot of XP/karma/gold/WvW XP.

So if you are on the 10 side, you’re likely to not be able to kill enemy players because you will be overwhelmed by their numbers everytime.

Well that might work once, then if they have half a brain they’ll come with omega golems and your AC is useless, so the same problem remains at the end.

I think all experienced WvW players have already been in these situations:

- your server is dominating others, you are part of a huge 50 players zerg and the 2 other servers cannot stop you because they don’t have enough players at that time.

or

- you are beeing slaughtered because another server got a huge zerg and you don’t have the numbers to counter them. Breakout event is useless because the commander NPC get insta-killed by the enemy zerg.

I enjoy playing WvW, but what’s the point playing when the teams are so unbalanced?

A team balancing mechanism would be much appreciated.

Any people agree or disagree?

Pavel.8531:

It does break stun, Neutro, it does, even if it’s not activated by enemy. However, sometimes a pebble on the road can screw your teleport(the shadow trap).

haha yes i just tested it with a new thief in the mists, 10k range and break stun, imba :d

i think i’m gonna roll a thief and abuse this

I’m trying to figure out what I could have done to prevent the thief from using shadow return / shadow trap since both of them are stun breakers…

Edit: actually shadow trap do not break stun

Edit2: well i guess the thief must have used shadow step on me on his first attack, then when he was low on health he just used shadow return even while beeing rooted, so he ported around 1200 m and stealthed again using health skill.

Thanks for the answer guys

lol 10k range on shadow trap, well i guess trying to lock a thief is useless then

Thanks Pavel

Hey guys,

Something strange happend to me 20 mins ago: a thief attacked me while i was near a group of 4 players.

I rooted him for 5 secs then used burning lava on him.

His auto stealth activated because he was low on health, but immediatly after the first root I chained rooted him, also used chill and shock area on his previous rooted position.

Other players of my group also where aoeing where he was located just before he went to stealth.

So he should have died, but we waited a bit, looked in every possible direction and he went away.

No shadow refuge, no animation of any kind showing he used a stealth skill, we didn’t win any XP so no alt-F4.

This is not the first time i’m noticing something like this, so any1 has an explanation on how that player get away so I can counter it next time?

Thanks!

For fighting a thief, you need to think like one of them to understand what they are trying to do

Playing against thieves is like fighting against a wolf trying to sneak up on a sheep group

The thieves are deadly in 1v1, so most of them in WvW are solo roaming and trying to find lonely players that are far away from safe points (tower, keeps, castle, spawn). When they see such a careless player, they go stealth ninja mode and burst the crap out of you before you even notice them, and you’re dead in 5 seconds

Knowing this, you just need to follow a simple rules and they will never ever be a threat to you: never stay far away from a group of players of your team.

Problem solved, enjoy!

When you lead a zerg, all the classes of the game will be in that zerg. So if at a given time, you need a specific class to do a specific action, you just ask it. So imo, you can play commander as any class / build, really. Just pick one that you enjoy playing.

I agree that you should be able to get these titles faster. But well it’s only titles, at the moment having them doesn’t do much anyway, so I would prefer Arenanet working on something else, like culling right now.

We don’t try to impress anyone, we play for the fun

Anyway, our 6 golems were almost all dead at the end, not my definition of “practically undefended”

I respect you guys, I see a lot of IRON commanders against us on EBG beeing at the right place at the right time. I didn’t mean to be offensive, no hard feelings

We lost SM because of misunderstanding between the 3 commanders that were leading at that time… Epic fail indeed ^^

Hope you enjoyed our golem rush on Quentin @ Deso

GJ to IRON guild trying to defend, this was a close call

I present you: the Vizunah Imperial March! Fear the Vizunah side of teh force!!!

Hey guys,

I just wanted to say that even if I think that this daily event system is a good idea, the tasks that make these daily events are so borring!

Where is the fun in killing random stuff underwater? Where is the fun finding 10 dead NPC to revive them? Where is the fun finding a low levels nodes to extract from? Where is the fun waiting in front of a monster to attack you to get your 10 dodges?

Please give us some funny things to do, like “kill Priest of Grenth” or “kill Jormag”!

Troll topic is troll

I agree that this system is much more fun than the actual one! I hope they drop the current one to this one!

Someone from my guild reported that a group of 4 VSD felt into a massive Elona zerg. They didn’t attack to see how the zerg would react.

And this is what happend

This is the funniest thing i’ve seen since GW2 started, GG Elona

Here is another picture made by the “other side”

Haha, this is epic

Thanks

Hey guys,

I don’t mind having long WvW queues, but waiting in front of the game screen for sometimes hours to not miss the WvW popup is really borring.

It would be really cool to be notified when the popup shows in the game while you have the game window minimized: make the window name in windows task bar blink for example, or play a special “warning” sound in the game, so if you activate sound when game is minimized, you still know that the popup is there and you can do something else.

Thanks!

bhagwad.4281:

I feel it’s a waste for me to keep destroying the siege weapon plans I get from the jumping puzzle. They just use up space in my inventory and I merely want the badges of honor to work up to my legendary.

I understand there are people who’d like to have siege weapon plans for WvW stuff. Can Anet allow us to sell the plans on the TP just so I don’t have to waste them by tearing them up?

You must understand than people that care about WvW score are usually spending a lot of money to buy siege weapons / upgrades to help their server. They see people doing jumping puzzle like bad players because they use slots in WvW and do not help attacking / defending the objectives. So if you try to sell these blueprints instead of using them for free for your team, you won’t be likely to make a lot of friends!

But if you don’t care about that, I think you could sell them by saying in the “/map” channel that you sell them for cheap. If you don’t sell cheap, no one will buy them.

You can trade them like this:

Welcome back to T1 Elona and GLHF to everyone

Brooke.9741:

The jumping puzzle needs to moved to a separate zone, with its own queue slots.
It does nothing to help the server you represent points wise, and only encourages the PvE crowd to take up spots in the queue that should be used by people who want to aid your servers objectives.

^ this

Good times on EBG tonight, sorry for your 10 golem fail rush SR ^^

And who is that suicide commander of IRON guild?

PS to Deso : you could had 2 free SR tower while we were holding them at their keep, and yet you chose to attack Durios. So we came back and wiped you. But I still don’t understand why Durios ^^

I never had this problem with my old headset. Since i bought a new one, i’m having it from time to time. Didn’t change any options.

Porky.5021:

Sort of in a similar vein (long stretch, but whatever) I want the ability to choose whose commaner tags I display.

Player A, B and C are all commanders. Player B is a donkey. Please let me know hide his commander icon on my map. I just want to see the commander icons for commanders I think do an okay job (or at least haven’t sucked so bad I want to hide their icon).

Right click on the commander you want to follow, select “join squad” and all others commanders icons will not be shown on your map anymore.

Good times on EBG this evening. Sorry for your golems on durios Desolation

Was fun playing against you IRON and EXG.

We tried to do same thing that you did to Durios yesterday with a lot of trebuchets while you held SM but SR took it back so quickly that we didn’t have the time (and the numbers) to down your wall

Meryt.9823:

60 man zergs to take supply camps ROFL.
If VS think this is skill theyre welcome to no 1 slot

Haha they only go when it is a 100% guarantee they will get the camp;)

Dolyaks are so strong

:D

Some of last nights wvw from my perspective, enjoy

Great video, gj

This stealth, stability, retaliation, celerity, AOE combo is deadly. Did you already came across another organised guild that knew your tactic and sucessfully countered it?

Problem with NA to EU or EU to NA is that you won’t be able to use “guest mode” to play with friends from your country after moving. I think that’s the reason why EU servers have troubles recruiting NA guilds, and why you might have the same problem.

Well said Jackie. I didn’t think you owe us an apology, since bragging had always been a part of all competitive games. It doesn’t mean you don’t respect us, nor do we.

But at least, if that wasn’t clear for some people, now it is. Cheers from Vizu.

Class doesn’t matter. What does is where you go, and what you ask people to do.

Ask someone on voip to write what you are saying while you are suppressed. Problem solved.

This was a pretty intense and close matchup until thursday.

GG to Searfarer’s rest and Elona, you didn’t make it easy for us

Neutro.3079:

Poor Elona, they tried so hard this evening to break SM first wall, then when they did it was bugged and they were stuck at the stairs.

Then they failed to take T3 Durios while the door was at 0%, so close

but we own the JP

The people in JP shouldn’t count in the WvW queue, that’s a pain in the * for everyone for sure!

But I don’t think that’s the reason explaining why you didn’t take SM or Durios. You had enough manpower (around 40 Elona players were near SM when wall was taken down), as well as superior flame rams (used on Durios). More than enough to do it in my opinion.

Poor Elona, they tried so hard this evening to break SM first wall, then when they did it was bugged and they were stuck at the stairs.

Is WL stream live? (i mean when it’s on, is there a delay between what you see on the stream and in the game)?

Vizunah is wishing Searfarer’s rest a good night, sweet dreams

Hey,

3 crashes in a row on Eternal battleground this night on Vizunah / Seafarer’s rest / Elona reach matchup.

Please do something!!

Sorry for taking full T3 SM and 1 of your tower Elona

That’s the price you pay when you spend your time trying to take our towers

I’ve been using tornado in WvW a lot, and i’ve never been killed once by confusion, so I think you are doing it wrong.

This is how you should use tornado:

- you see a large group of enemies hitting a door or a wall
– you sneak behind them
– you use Meteor Shower on the back of their group
– you use tornado in the same area that you used Meteor shower and you keep hitting “3” to knock everyone back
– when your HP reach 50%, you drop tornado form, immediatly after you use mist form, and if needed immediatly after, use Lightning Flash to reach the gate of the building you are trying to protect.
– if you get downed because it went wrong, immediatly use vapor form to reach the door as well, and wait for your team mates to ressurect you.

The key to use tornado is not beeing spotted before you run into your enemies, else they can cc you and it’s over.

PS: tornado is also great to chase runners. Use ride the lightening, lightening flash to get closer to a runner, use a CC to root him, then use tornado and spam knockback. GG.

Tarvok.4206:

I think it’s about not being able to insta-mail blueprints to the front lines; if you didn’t bring enough, someone has to actually traverse the distance, which takes time, and they can even be delayed if the enemy posts people in the middle of the path to cut their supply lines. Making them mailable would undermine strategy, which is the entire point of WvWvW.

Drop and pick up isn’t bad, because, #1, it doesn’t invalidate the physical space between the point of acquisition and the point of use, and #2, the enemy can come in and grab it if it’s done in the wrong place and the enemy is quick enough.

That’s true!

What about making the blueprints with a special status “non sendable by mail” then?

Beeing able to share them in a guild bank still seems important to me.

Kuzzi.2198:

cilo.2789:

I’d like it to be account bound at the very least so i dont have blueprints from 4 different characters cluttering up my bank

That is how I feel too.

Actually, I feel they should be account bound and you should not be able to transfer them between players by dropping/picking up.

Why do you think they shouldn’t be tradeable between players? You can trade money between players, regular siege weapons only cost money, so forbidding siege weapons trade is like forbidding gold trade imo.

It’s more complicated regarding superior siege weapons because they costs skill points as well, but you can see a lot of items on the trade posts that can be sold at a high price because you need a lot of skill point to forge them, it is allowed and no one seems to have a problem with it, so why not siege weapons as well?

suprNovae.5410:

The Charr from Eqnx was the current leader of the main zerg. NI just helped out because we hadn’t the MAAANPOWER in our main zerg anymore. ^^

Well then you had the manpower, but so did we, and since we didn’t held SM our priority was obviously to defend our land. You needed to attack us for 1 hour in a row without capping anything to finally stop and attack seafarer’s rest. So much lost free time that you gave to seafarers, just saying

Hey guys,

There is something strange in the game: all the siege weapons blueprints, as well as the siege master guide book that is needed to make superior siege weapons are soulbound. This means that these items cannot be sent through mail or put in a guild bank.

But it is also possible to give a siege weapon blueprint, even a superior one, to another player, just by dropping it on the floor in a WvW area, as I’m showing with a friend in this video:

.
Because of that system, if your guild / server gives money to a commander to buy siege weapons, and then this commander has to leave and another one comes, the next commander cannot use any of the siege weapons that everyone donated for.

This could easily be solved just by removing the “soulboud” status of siege weapons blueprints and siege master guide book.

Do you guys feels the same about this? Share your thoughts

I totally agree that message suppression should be removed from commanders.

I opened a topic about the same subject like a month ago, like here a lot of ppl agreed but we didn’t get an answer from arenanet, i hope you get more lucky!

There is a good solution to that problem until it is fixed: if you lead while speaking on teamspeak or such with your server mates, just ask if one of the people on teamspeak can write your orders in the chat for you while you can’t. Then you say in chat before reaching the limit that this guy is speaking as yourself so everyone should also listen.

Worked very well for me!

Dayra.7405:

@Neutro: I’ve no idea why this “big charr” attacked you, but beside some Elonians that would prefer to punish SFR for their NA-based night-capping, there are also some Elonians that prefer to attack VS, because VS give us more rating evolution than SFR in this match.
And a match resultege with VS and SFR having a very close “new rating” would give us a good starting position for the next match.

I understand better now thanks

Back from good time today on EBG

Elona hammered us hard for like 1 hours in a row with a 30 players group while seafarer’s rest held SM.

This group was lead by a big charr guy from Eqnx guild, followed by a lot of people from, Pray, NI and WT guilds.

Could you guys explain why you did this? You wanted to test us?

Because it only led to both teams cancelling each others, so we didn’t take anything during that time and you didn’t as well, while seafarer was stuffing SM up freely ^^
