A message from the Skills Team:

The current behavior was an unintended consequence introduced with the 1/26 build.

Hello Gaile,

Without being sarcastic i would like to let you know about another unintended consequence with the 1/26 patch.

Its the mesmer part of the update. Its pretty broken atm and its in a sad state in pvp.
It would be really nice if you can let us know if someone is looking into that part.

Thanks anyway!

Ps. i really loved your frog in gw1

There’s a lot of feedback to read, so please don’t mind if I ask this: Do you have specific areas of concern? Also, did you post in the major feedback thread? I don’t mind asking about this, if I’m able to do so. But a general “it’s broken” isn’t as good as solid evidence.

(And thanks. Froggie is doing well in Old Tyria, but I hope someday to travel with him in the Tyria of today.)

Good to hear that Froggie is doing well!

My main problem on mesmer in PVP atm that we dont have anything where shine in.

-I would really like to see more love to the interupt part of the mesmer.

Atm most interesting traits are really spread out between the trait lines.
There spread out between domination, duelling , chaos and chrono.
With the amount of condi’s flying around its almost mandetory to go into the inspiration line.
Moving them into 1 or 2 traitlines would really be helpfull.

-Mantra builds arent viable atm.
Shaving of some casting times and recharges would really be helpfull. In a fight no good player will allow a channeling of a mantra without bursting/ccing you.

-Burst mesmer, after the initial burst with GS and Sw torch (or shield) there isnt much left to do then wait again for the burst to recharge. Most classes are at full health before we can setup another burst. Gives us oure extra bounce back on gs 2 would be a step into the right direction.

Bunker mesmer, its a good thing that they got nerfed. I do think it got hammered too hard.
Removing soldier and cele, nerfing quickness , hitting alacrity and buffing necros boon removal through the roof was a little to much.

Utility skills:

1. Remove aegis from Precog, remove the cast time from it, increase the stab pulse to 2 stacks, add remove 2 conditions on pulse (Gives it some use in WvW & PvP. No real use in PvE). Reduce cooldown to 40 seconds.
2. Decrease timewarp’s cooldown to 90 seconds. There’s really no reason it’s still at 180. If you feel like a 50% reduction in cooldown is too much, reduce it to 120.
3. Reduce the cooldown of mirror images to a base of 35 seconds. It’s 2 clones & a stun break, it doesn’t deserve to be on a higher cooldown than a clone, stunbreak + stealth (decoy)
4. Reduce the cooldown of arcane thievery to 20 seconds, bringing it more in line with boon corrupt necros.
5. Reduce cast time on mantras by 3/4 a second, bringing it to 2 seconds to charge them.
6. Increase the damage mantra of pain does, but also increase its cooldown. That way it doesn’t break the mantra traits. Perhaps give it a good 700-800 damage base, but a cooldown of lets say 10 or so seconds before you can recharge it.
7. Increase base healing on mirror by 750.
8. Reduce cooldown on well of recall by 5 seconds.
9. Increase cooldown on Well of Calamity to 40 seconds, triple the pulse and double final pulse damage. Remove cripple and add slow. (This brings it into the same line that necro’s well of suffering exists on. Making it valuable in WvW, and something I might take in PvP to secure downs.)

(thanks TheOneWhoSighs.7513)

We got a lot of good skills and traits. They are only to spread out and some of the casting/channeling and recharges are too long now. We lack a lot of sustain, condi removal and overal damage. Nerfing alacrity tuned the mesmer really down and we got nothing back for it.

It would be really helpfull for most people if we know that the dev team is aware of those problems.

TLDR
I cant beat a scrapper/rev/dh/ranger/thief or necro on the same skill level in pvp. I dont want to be OP, i just want to have a fair chance to beat someone my skilllevel.

Thanks for your time Gaile!

As a solo pvp player who plays mostly mesmer…bad update.

You hit mesmer with a hammer instead of tuning them down.

Gues it will take 6-12 months before i can fight an evenly skilled thief/rev/dh/ele/engi/ranger or necro and win it.

Bump, check website for classes.

Got 1 ascended ring from my second chest. 800 + chests further… 0 ascended and 2 exos.
On the other hand, got 2 precussors in wvw.

“We are all ordinary. We are all boring. We are all spectacular. We are all shy. We are all bold. We are all heroes. We are all helpless. It just depends on the day.”

Never saw this 1 coming…

I feel always appreciated when i see the new update.

World vs. World
The Guard Leech boon has been renamed to Applied Strength.

Smokee.1754:

You calling IRON organized?

You had your chance to test that when we asked you to gvg on the forums a couple of times. You didnt do it.

Only part you showed some org. was when you portalled away from open field fights.

Wow so much trash talk. [ONE] Fight as One, is a very very good openfield guild in NA.
Always enjoyed when they where raiding.
Only the Naus dude is a baddy imo. To lazy to guard a t3 garri.

It also can be really fun in wvw. Can be a pain to survive sometimes, but those numbers:P

Oeps Rolls Necro.2594:

On the other hand, qq about us on a forum without a guildtag in your signature…

Some don’t want our views to be construed as the views of our guilds. So to avoid any confusion, the guild tag is left out. Food for thought at least.

Everyone with a little education should get that a post from 1 or 2 members isnt the view of a whole guild.

Its also easier to qq about a guild on a forum then beat them on the battlefield. If any of the qqers overhere want to sort it on the battlefield feel free to whisp me ingame.

Last post for me overhere,

“Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.”

Liquid.9672:

Starscream touches everyone, everywhere. He has a gift.

Not a gift… we call him “special”.

And i stated it before, its only 2 or 3 people posting from iron. I think 75% of us doesnt even look at the forums.

On the other hand, qq about us on a forum without a guildtag in your signature…

HolyMolla.6582:

OMG SOR WITH ALL THESE QQs.
Cry more. Make more excuses.
Timezone? Russia is like 1~2 hour early than EU?
We in the United States, there is a EST and PST.
They are 3 hours different.
And IRON guys, why didnt ZDs went to lower EU server?
Why didnt IRON went to lower EU server?
SOR had a good ride with IRON when they 1st came to SOR.
WHY cry now? cause SOR cant get easy PPT on EU timezone anymore? <—Very TRUE.

Just last week, SOR was like BG sux, BG no longer T1 server.
More cry. It makes your server even more weaker.

After watching your post history…
Calm down and show me where starscream touched you.

Nickthemoonwolf.1485:

Earlier this week IRON out-blobbed everyone on the forums, then they stopped winning by 12k and most of them mysteriously vanished from the forums.

You are giving starscream way to less honor here… Hes responsible for 50% of the posts, shifty takes the other 25% and the other 25% is for the rest of the guild.

12k has nothing to do with it, think star is bored by bg.

Satori.7268:

Imagination land is you IRON scrubs thinking you’re any good in pvp. Every time we face you with even numbers you get wrecked. You clowns need to stick to zerging.

Can you link some vids or youre livestream? I really want to see how a pvp god like you plays.

Also you may whisp me ingame if you feel that you where outnumberd, we can set up something with even numbers? Im using fraps a lot, so i can make a compilation of you crushing us?

Last fights vs bg on even numbers… Want me even to link it here?

Grats on ZD bg, top 3 guild i fought the last year.

Synyster.5894:

I was running with Smokee last night he was running tagless the entire night with about 15 people on him around 8 HB.

Counting isnt your strongest side.

Starscream.7803:

Poor vash, stomped in game and on the forums. Its like kicking a puppy that cant defend itself

Not really, i feel sad for the puppy.

DeWolfe.2174:

Hey Iron, would you like to explain how you got thru a gate, you had two rams up on, that still had most of it’s HP??? This Mesmer was outside when I Death from Above’d you. And, if you did get in accidentally, why didn’t you leave?

…The quality of character appears low…

We breached the gate with the rams and a few got in. The tower upgraded and we where split. You didnt think it was strange that the gate was full while we where attacking for 3-4min?

So siegfried you need for 30 iron, 1 group of 15 (we engaged) a second group to hit oure tail then coin to finish. gg

We all know what happend when IRON gvgd bg guilds on even numbers.

Buzzcrave.6197:

I tend to ignore a guild that I would not mention here that have a poster with end name of “1997” on a video sharing service. Just saying.

Its about skill not age. We have some 15-17 olds in the guild. Whisp me ingame and ill get you a duel. Ill record it for you np.

scanz.4536:

I mean who couldn’t stack melee and necros in a 50-60 person group and defeat an enemy group half those numbers?

5 IRON necros on the field. Ty for the compliment, we invested a lot of time into the class and its always nice to see some results.

scanz.4536:

If this applies to Sunday then that’s a lie, I personally killed her twice.

You mean you killed a char guardian with pink hair? I heard a guy complaining in ts that he got focussed to hell (with his char guard and pink hair). Not wrex, but gg.

About the coin numbers : 26 on the commander. We had 42 minus 4 scouts and people afk. You got HB on the same map, sounds pretty fair imo.

We didnt split, we just lost some numbers over time.

timidobserver.7925:

There is this one dev on TC that turns on his Anet tag and then rocks people that try to solo him. He plays a thief.

He tries it yes, gues condi necros are the next thing nerfed.

Peetee.9406:

SoR doesn’t even have a flagship guild anymore. Their two strongest time zones were always EU and NA lead by IRON and TW respectfully, well the guild leaders and a large chunk of players from both guilds are either gone or inactive.

And who are you? Making statements about iron lol.
Never saw you in IRON ts or ingame, dont make things up ty.

Punny.9210:

or another way .. someone died a lot this week …

Only thing that it tells is that you stomped more with the buff.

So much inspiration this week and you come up with this?
But nice troll attempt, maybe you can ask pot for some advice?

Fannwong.3059:

Calling [WvW] ‘lol’ is not a good thing to do, they are honorable opponents in JQ. I knew them as hardcore elements from [SOS] guild in Kaineng. They are good folks who were deciding between TC and SOR some time back.
FW

Fann, we are trying to get the pvf scores higher. Dont be mister nice guy overhere

Forums just need a little iron flavour to spice things up. Lets see if we can get 25 pages next week.
And imo any sea who joins jq deserves a lol.

Good at wvw= better coverage/more players.
More players= more qeues.

My bad about the ratio, first take coffee then read :P

And im not saying ranged on WP.
Ranged is around lordsroom (or any tactical place where you killed the lord)

You need 1 in TS count the timer and 2 eles holding their statics. Most of the time when we capped it is around 1 min after the waypoint.

Your scout yells timer up, eles drop statics on wp and bomb. (and someone is contesting it again).
You wiped the blob, your guy at the watergate tells whats hanging around there and everyone else is hunting the last ones.

But if fighting it outmannend, gl. And imo its not fair/fun and a broken mechanic.

If you cant take it with a 2 to 1 ratio your doing it wrong.

1. Kill all siege.

2. Scout on watergate.(thats where they are waiting)

3.Ranged on lord.

4.Meleetrain around lordsroom and wait for waypoints (static eles = on wp)

5.Let someone count the waypointtimer.

6.Every boon strip ingame needed.

7.Target every warrior (or other classes with rez)

8. It can take while, true.

We did this vs vizu in eu prime to many times, if we could do vs viz you can do it vs everyone. It can take while and it is a pain.

Concentration+ communication wins it.

Its an insta win on my condi necro. Let the engi stack how much he wants, mark 3+4 combofield +condi transfer. Signet of spite and a little fear to finish him. Good engis sometimes escapes. Baddies explode.

Every roaming engi with a shield uses the runes, if you cant win why fight? Im not even going to try on my other chars.

Astaroth.5146:

One thing I’m giving you though, the end got unessessary messy.

Unessessary? Asking in ts to attack us, the AWE player is admitting right above you.

Astaroth.5146:

The last match could be given to KH too since the crowd only responded because IRON was again involving their crowd in the fight but since we can’t counter a wrong by another wrong, I’ll just consider that match nil. Makes sense no?

No sense indeed, noone else involved from sor side. You lose 3-4 backline in the last and decisive match and ask your server to help on VOIP? Sounds like a fair and good win GG

About the windmill, just watch more gvg vids.

At 32seconds you see some random ele doing it.

edit: My last post about, cya on the battlefield.

Freaking, delusional and disgrace thats a lot of big words from a guild who jumps into gvgs.

Also thinking that hopping in the forest and run back gets you out of combat…calling me delusional.

I dont need to spread false info. Videos dont lie and they are coming.

Wait im flaming? You call IRON a disgrace for using terrain.

Youre guildies jumped in, what makes that of your guild? I gues something that would be named “kitten” on this forum.

+ the KH gl was asking for spectactors to run in? GG

So the biggest complain is using the terrain? Funny i never heard 1 complain doing it and i was there vs RG, TW ,RISE, ESOL and MEOW. But i get it, your necro got killed 1 vs 1 me in the forest.

And its funny to hear a AWE speaking about disgrace. A guildie from you jumped in.

Love is the air.. haha.

WvW ppt is coverage wars.

But if you are fighting iron and you want to fight on even numbers just whisper me ingame. We can sort that out. We even can set up a gvg if you want. (even just for fun)
I already met some good SoS and TC players in EB. Had some nice 1 vs 1 fights.

Hf anyway.

We still need this! Bump ftw

Webley.1295:

i used to respect iron on desolation, but after seeing the attitude/logic on SoR and the trash you bring to the forums (That starscream idiot) its all gone

Like anyone in IRON cares who you respect.
So many assumptions and prejudices without being good informed.
To bad for deso you left, you fit there perfectly.

Great idea. And we NEED it.

Tarkus.4109:

but the forums are another thing.

You all realise that the people on the forums is about 5% of IRON? And when you keep feeding them they keep trolling? ( star doesnt need feeding btw)

Punny.9210:

what the point of bragging open field fight when your server ends up losing ….
Good guilds would be able to do both or even carry the server to win …

Dont really see the bragging part.
We enjoy open field . 95% of the BG prefer AC, walls and centaur runes.

Ask 100 people in gw2 “who is the strongest wvw guild” . Then ask yourself what they did for the ppt.

Tarkus.4109:

When we do overtime into EU SoR usually has lowest ppt, which is one of SoRs strongest timezones – shows how weak IRON is.

Weak? Nah, we dont have those numbers you all think.

Tarkus.4109:

as I have seen IRON run 60+ people as well

You never saw 60 IRON in wvw in NA, its a lie. And its kinda sad if you are “stating” things like that.

GvG anyone ? Whisp/mail me.

waha.4921:

Hi guys I miss you. Hope to see you soon <3

http://youtu.be/VM9AvgE97cM <<<< best memory

Waha

You miss the spam 1 or the 60 dots in your minimap?

If JQ sea keeps pushing SoR sea its quite clear.

All SoR only focus JQ.

And maybe i can ask some old Russian friends.

kaisez.4968:

pls Ante don’t delete this my another post.. I just wanted to ask how you can pass water gate of overlock while the gate is closed and destroy all seige . IRON you got kitten inside even this …hahah

First of all im not an offical IRON spokesmen im just 1 of the players who “glitched” through the gate. I did it 3 times in about 2 min.

How? I really dont know it, we were manmoding/facerubbing (no siege, brute power)
the gate and 1 after another got through it.

All the IRON ran up the stairs and jumped down. Before you say glitch through the gate en THEN kill the siege. Its bullkitten and big fat lie.

Please think before you name guilds on a public forum.

The cutest thing is that you are saying that MERC and IRON have the same numbers
And WM 10-20 ? Lol.

Then only server that could QQ imo about numbers is JQ atm.
Im still having a blast in NA, ty for all the fighting.

I just got a ascended ring dropped. 6 chest, 5 greens and the lunar ring.
I heard some guildies about exotics and some bages +siege

pot.6805:

You left BG BL after being wiped 5 times trying to take Garrison. That is why you went to pug stomp in EBG.

Hello Pot,

Wiping imo is getting owned in an open field/tower siege with no body alive. Hiding in your garrison behind your superior arrowcarts and killing 2 or 3 people from a 25 men group isnt a wipe. Its hiding behind a wall and scratching oure group till the moment WE decide its enough.

If there are 2 many arrowcarts on a gate its stupid to stay on it. Thats why we pulled of. We would loved to fight vs youre guys last night but you only did 2 things. Run and man the siege. Same thing happend in EB, thats why some people trolled a little overhere.

Im not trying to be rude, trolling or insulting people but if you post that kind of kitten…its sad?

Looking forward to meet you on the battlefield.

Yours sincerely,

Oeps Rolls

This was an interesting week. Ty for the fights and also ty SoR for your warm welcome.
Lets see if we can get some more fights this weekend. No reset for me, its @ 3 am overhere.

Hf and cya.

It wont die. Your baby will be old before anet sees it.
It took 48 pages for this update, my gues is that we will need 500 more.

And for everyone qqing on VoTF when this topic started… Where are you?
(hiding behind your arrowcarts?)

This is the update? 95% pve, some bugg fixes (we are still waiting to fix buggs since september) and some traps for wvw?

You created a new meta " hide in keeps and use your 12876 arrowcarts".
Damage buff off 80% and we need a topic with 500 replies before you see that is wrong?

Everthing melts in a second and it is the CHEAPEST siege ingame.

And you think its unfair for the wxp points? You now whats unfair? Buying a great game that getting worse and worse every update.

You are not improving the game, your cleaning up your own mess.

My gues next update, bugg fix on the traps.

tita.6358:

will play this blob game for the coming months yep.
have fun trying to play unreal tournament in Tyria!

I think you will be bored in a sec. No walls for you where you can hide, and you only play at night.
