Population imbalance

There are people on those lower servers who would not want a merger. People have a lot invested in those servers. We have servers we hate. The only people that want the servers merged are the ones who do not like getting the face punched in on a game. Their e-kitten pride is getting hurt. If you don’t like your server. Do what millions have done, MOVE.

There are actually people who don’t like to blob. Roaming and small havoc squads are a lifestyle. Yeah it sucks getting steamrolled at times, but even numbers, they are deadlier than you think.

Anet did not break the coverage wars. The players did. Let them dig their way out or suffer.

This seems kinda, well you know, funny. To see ET being talked about being the big bad bully has been a long time coming. School has consumed a lot of my time lately, but I remember being in the bottom for sooooo long and getting the snot smacked out of us. We saw some come, we saw some leave, but we persevered.

Server balance will not fix it. Merging servers will not fix it. The only thing that can fix it are the people and the servers themselves. That is not going to happen because everybody has to show their e-kitten that they are the best and want to blob around.

So, enjoy the ride wherever it may take you. ET has been at the top. ET has been at the bottom. But no matter what, ET never gives up.

Did anyone else have this problem?

After the last update it seems that there have been some animation problems. I recorded the most obvious one. Yes, I know the quality is not the best, I am working of cleaning up the recordings and I need to replace the beast sometime.

Confused about award system

First, look under your hero pain. Look for the achievement part of it. Now if you look at the one for the dailies you will see which ones you can choose from. You have to complete 5 of them 100%.

They do rotate, but some stay the same each day. For example, you need to harvest 20 items. Be it trees, ore, or plants.
Some of them will say “Do 5 events in a certain area.” “Spend X amount of X”, “Visit X”

You can select which ones you want to do and they will be the ones that show up in the upper right hand corner of your screen.

Until they change the runes, it is hard to speculate.

Before the last profession update, I could keep my swiftness from the staff up pretty much all of the time. Now it is done in ticks. You can get up to 18 seconds, but you have to wait almost 3 seconds, only about half of that standing still since it takes me 1-2 seconds to run thru the symbol. This was all on my guardian. Slow for roaming in WvW.

So, we all await the changes. It is anybody’s guess what they will do.

Swapping sigils

Old Bones.5140

One change is they are adding 2 sigils for 2 handed weapons.

They are changing some of the rules on how they process (certain ones. can’t remember which examples they said.). Also, a better understanding on how they stack on cooldowns.

For MF changes it went

Explorers went to assassins and Travelers went to Dires.

But the MF STAT WENT TOTALLY AWAY. It was just not a change. So a change to a stat is not the same as a total deletion of a stat. So if they change a percentage of what it does or change how it is processed that is all it is, A CHANGE.

I don’t give a flip because I am not a 1 smasher or rely on pure DPS.

Old Bones.5140

Rangers are not totally bad. It is the people that play them.

I run mine in PVE and WvW. Done dungeons, Fractals and whatever I can get myself into. Some is with guildies, some pugs mixed in. I have not really had any problems.

A few of us run as roamers in WvW together. It could be 2 maybe 3 running together flipping camps, spying or whatever. I will even run as a commander at times and stay alive longer because of my play style. I switch it up, depending on what I am doing. I just love getting into towers with 20+ knocking on the door and trying to stop me.

Then again, ET isn’t hardcore and kitteny for the most part.

Well, comparing a CHANGE to a set of armor (Zerker) to the DESTRUCTION of a set of armor (MF) would be like comparing APPLES to ORANGES.

If it is just a change, I don’t think that they are required to let you change them. If it is a total deletion, then yes.

A nerf or change is just that. What if they came out with a new ubber stat set. Everyone will complain because they have something inferior to that.

The game is going to evolve. So be it.

Greetings From Marauders of Serenity on ET.

We started as a small group of cross country friends back in the GW1 days. Several of us have known each other for years, but we are always looking to add to our numbers.

We do a little bit of everything. We have been known to do:

-Dungeon Runs
-World Meta Events
-Champ Farms
-Running groups or commanding in WvW
-Fractal Runs
-Teaching what we have learned and sharing our discoveries of builds (We tweak and work on our own.)
-Coordinate with other guilds for whatever we do.

-Teamspeak is highly encouraged. This is a major advantage on whatever we do.

What we don’t do:
-Drama.
-Loan of money. (Sorry, but with leachers out there, it is best to have this standing rule)
-Expect you to play with our builds.

We do expect representation.

We are small, but we put up a fight in whatever we do.

I am normally on a few hours on in the evening EST. Hit me up in game.

You can still get the Shards. I just did it last night. I just started it and got 9 of the achievements in about 2 days. The only ones that I won’t get the the instanced one, Krait Witches, and prob the inflicted ones. I have the spores to turn in, but I am going to see if there is one for the daily so I am holding onto them for now. They said that they were going to have them available during this LS. Do what you can, and do the dailies that pertain to it. Depends on what the dailies are, it is still feasible, cause I did the daily yesterday to give me on.

Well, even us lowly bronze league had Q’s in all maps this weekend. Do not see them often, but we do get them.

The only thing that Anet can do, but it will be to much IMHO, is make different allowed numbers for each league set. But the only problem with that is when it is over and we go back to the random, you could be like us and get stuck with someone from the higher league, then you will most definitely be outmanned.

The overflows upon launch were worse. Trying to learn and get thru with your friends was real bad.

I would beg to differ. Little ole ET takes pride in placing siege in our keeps, especially one of our crews. We love setting up meat grinders and superior numbers back.

It is about placement and tactics.

BTW, we hit the max siege that could be placed ON A MAP last night. Caused a few problems, but nothing that we could not handle.

But, that being said. Let’s show everyone that the Bronze League is the best competition out there.

We can offer to help you out as best as we can, help make the game enjoyable, level up a baby if you have one.

We can’t offer and Drama, Hacks, Exploits, Degrading of others, Etc…

We just don’t roll up in a ball and call mercy when everyone decides to gang up on us, we fight back with all we can. Expand our coverage, and who know what will happen. Make the move here because ET is home.

I will say MOST of ET has a something good between the ears. We do have our blockheads. Last night was controlled chaos before I had to close down the game for the night. SIC started hitting on our bay(which i called after they ganked me hard at the guard), while a door knocker hit Garry. Had response unit come take care of Bay, but HOD decides to ninja HIlls while that was going on. Next we hear HOD at Garry, I get there as they break into inner. Again response unit comes and pushes them out. As that is cleaned up, IOJ is back at bay again(dunno if SIC was involved or not). Back to bay, and into inner to repel that attack. Sad to say I had to leave after that one.

With all that going on in such a short amount of time, and holding all but hills, it makes me proud to be from ET.

I dunno how the powers would react if I put the phony addy up or not, so I would have to have them weigh in on it.

Hall of Monuments fail

Old Bones.5140

So what if someone just got GW1 and EOTN and got the Hall. It does nothing special for them. They would actually need all of them to get anything. Sure EOTN gave you about 5 titles and some new heros to play with. You actually needed all of them to get anything.

It is not a “Screw You”. The hall was an afterthought of EOTN. They just started adding to it with more storylines, and there was even a few storylines that you had to buy.
The hall was for your legacy. I guess you have not looked that the calculator to actually see what need to be done to get anything. I don’t remember the grinds to get the titles that I did, just to get skins, minis and pets.

But IMHO, the skins are meh. I feel the grind does not really out weight what I got.

BTW, I was a year late on GW1 but got everything before they even talked about the hall. Even bought the collection for a second copy before they even mentioned it.

BTW, there are at least 5 places for the troll to pop in AC. And we run all 3 paths and we don’t speed clear either. It will take about 2 minutes to have the troll and kohler meet up, you just need communication between players.

I mostly roll a ranger on dungeon runs. I do not go up the stairs at the final bosses, but i will hide behind them on the ground. I am always trying to get to the side or back of them. Why, because of the bleeding. If I can keep up the bleeding with my bow, I will. I also look to keep myself alive by hiding behind pillars and such. It is called tactics.

We don’t exploit the game at anything we do. If you call a tactic of having the troll and kohler meet an exploit, well then you need to call anytime that you bring a mob into a fight out the world an exploit. How many times have you had a deer come in and fight what you were fighting, or you see 2 things fighting and jump in on it.

There is a difference between tactics and exploits/shortcuts. Don’t confuse them.

I do not know exactly if it has been asked for or not, but here it goes. In GW1, you could look at the roster of the guild and see the last time that someone has been on. It would show that the last time that they logged in was 1 week, 2 week, etc.

It is such a useful tool. That way if you are wondering where your guildie is at, you can see, “Yeah, they have not been on for a month. What is up with them? What is wrong?”

There are actually a couple of peeps that we are getting concerned with because they are constant players.
