Guild Wars 2

I’m fine with the 150 limit myself… but that’s probably b/c I already have like 120 something of them, so the rest won’t take me long. I also actually enjoy raiding, so I guess the grind to 150 doesn’t really bother me

Oldirtbeard.9834:

Maybe I’ll just do 5 mans, I’m with a chill patient guild; I have no doubt that some day they will dumb that raid down once it becomes obsolete.

“Dumb that raid down”…? Why would you even WANT that to happen? We finally have actual challenging content that requires creating cohesive group comp and using teamwork, and you want them to DUMB IT DOWN? You’re the type of person Anet needs to ignore as that kind of thinking only limits the potential raids have of being truly fun.

My advice would be for you to just forget raiding altogether and instead just go out to WvW, join up on a K-train commander and press 1 endlessly without any effort. You can actually get ascended box drops that way (no joke, I got one as a rank-up reward the other day) and it’ll prevent ppl like you from getting Anet to nerf the only challenging content we have into mindless nonsense.

Run with my group. We did the 3 T4 dailies yesterday with 3 necros, 1 warrior, and a mesmer. The 3 of us necros just stripped/corrupted the boons they stole from us INSTANTLY and epidemic’d them to all the adds. Fractals with necros is a joke, we do the 3 T4 dailies everyday in about 30-40 min, depending on which ones come up.

Hello? Anyone? lol

Bump, still lookin for a team

As title states, looking for a group that raids on Tues-Thurs. I can play any hour those days as those are my days off. I can play the other days of the week as well, just not until late-NA time, like 12:30am-4am EST.

Classes I can bring:
- fully ascended condi warrior
- fully ascended condi engi
- fully ascended zerk/PS warr
- fully ascended zerk reaper necro

I have others that arent fully ascended that I can play as well, and as we all (should) know, ascended gear does not equate to a great player anyway, but I figured I’d post first what most of you want to see.

Contact me in-game if you have a spot plz.

Enigmatiq

Thanks to those who have contacted me already, sorry the scheduling didn’t really fit well. As such, I edited the OP with days that work best for us =)

The 2 of us have been friends for over 10 years, played multiple games together, and we love this game, been playing since the beta weekends BEFORE day 1. Probably have over 10k hrs logged between us. We’re in a small guild of about 4-5 regulars, and the others don’t have an interest in raiding so we need a group.

We’re looking for a group that raids consistantly and maybe just needs the last couple spots to round out the group, or we can even be backup. If your group has a spot for 2 solid players that can adapt to various roles, hit one of us up in-game.

We’re both east coast, NA-late NA primetime players, so usually 8pm-3am EST, best days are Tues-Thurs as I work weekends.

Between us, we have:
- 2 fully ascended sini engis
- 1 fully ascended power reaper
- 1 fully ascended sini warrior
- 1 fully ascended zerk/PS warrior
- 1 fully ascended zerk revenant
and maybe more, but these listed are the ones we’re most comfortable playing

So I’ve been trying to get this Plains of Ashford effigy, but Idk how to get it to spawn… anyone thats done this have any tips?

Nvm, I just did the event and got credit for all the ghosts. 3 spawn initially, and when theyre all dead the 4th spawns. I just had to be quick so I could get a hit on all 4, b/c with it being a lvl 6 event, the enemies melted instantly lol

I enjoy soloing PVE stuff on my full zerk reaper necro. Warriors and revenants seem to be valuable in raids.

For future reference, try making a an LFG for something like this, like “LFM for clearing guild hall”. That party would likely fill within a few min, as I find there are a lot of helpful ppl on this game.

So I have to do an event in Plains of Ashford that involves killing 4 ghosts, and I have no idea how to get the event to start/when it occurs. I was there for it one time, and I think only 3 of the ghosts spawned, and I didn’t get a hit on the 3rd one, so I didn’t get credit for the collection… Has anyone else done this and have any tips for it?

That’s the thing, not all guilds are 50+ ppl strong… I play with a group of 4-5 ppl that play regularly, so am I just boned then? IMO thats kittening bullkitten.

If you actually care that much about some tokens, have at it lol.

Longbow Ranger is actually pretty sick now… “Sic em” = thieves dead instantly. It’s about time thieves had a hard counter.

On topic though, I also disagree that the game is dying… I have been playing the game since day 1 (even before, on beta weekends), and I have had more fun in the last 2 months in WvW than I ever had before, and I’ve been primarily a WvW player the entire time.

My advice would be if you feel like the WvW where you are is getting stale, make a change. Transfer to a new server. Meet some new ppl, run with different commanders that have different tactics. Try new builds on classes you don’t normally play… I have 12 lvl 80 characters and I literally try a new build like every few days. And it’s not b/c I don’t like the previous builds, I just like mixing things up. Not only that, but it provides insight into how all the classes/builds work, which makes you a better player for being able to understand your opponent, which in turn makes the game more fun b/c if you happen to die, you’re not left feeling like “how did he just kill me? nerf nerf nerf!”

I have friends that only have 1 or 2 characters and never change their builds, and they sometimes complain about the game being stale… Honestly, with all the content in the game, if you find it stale it’s your own fault for not trying new things lol.

Also, I love Stash. Just saying.

I was going to write a big long essay about why I love SBI, but the first post was long enough so I doubt anyone would read mine lol.

All I will say though is that my small guild [NITE] came here from Sorrow’s Furnace about 8 months ago, and I can’t imagine swapping servers ever again. SBI has a server-wide community Teamspeak, is active in all aspects of the game, and the WvW is great here, whether you like to roam solo or small groups, or like to do the larger scale karma train/zerg busting, there is a bit of everything here. I can’t recommend it enough.

[NITE] is on SBI 4 life, and you can be too Join SBI today!

Bump .

Necrotic Insomniacs [NITE] is looking for new members! We live in Stormbluff Isle and we have a solid core group of members, some of us have been friends for 10+ years and have played multiple games together, while others we’ve picked up throughout the nearly 2 year lifespan of this game. Our core is unshakable and drama free, rest assured we will stand the test of time, so if you’re looking for a stable group to join, look no further.

First, a little bit about us…

We range in age from 19-35, and our leadership is made up of a council-like group instead of one singlular “leader”. We are a very small group, usually having only maybe 10 online at a time, max (looking to change that). Some might see that as unappealing, but I find that it means each and every member has more value than if we were 200 strong. Each one of us has a different background. Some of us came from mostly doing PvE – dungeons, Fractals, world events, etc. Some of us were hardcore WvWers, coming from reknowned WvW guild [StaR] from Sorrow’s Furnace. Some of us specialize in PvP… you get the picture. We dabble in everything regularly, and between all of us we have expert knowledge in all aspects of the game.

Each one of us has a deep love for the game, having spent thousands of hours playing, since the beta weekends before the game even released. All of us have multiple fully lvl’d/geared alts, and some of us have legendary weapons (that’s not meant to brag, instead simply to demostrate how “into” the game we are), and we’re willing to share our infinite knowledge, and also welcome any knowledge we may not already have, in an effort to make us all better players.

What we do…

We have people who play during the daytime, but for the most part our “day” on the game starts at daily server reset time (8pm est). We usually start by participating in the server’s fight against Tequatl, followed by the Karka Queen event. From there our group will decide what’s next. Usually a group of us will run a daily “dungeon train”, which consists of speed runs of certain dungeons; usually CoF p1 & 2, HotW p1, and CoE p1-3. If ppl want to do more than that, sometimes we will, but those are the ones we almost ALWAYS do. That will then either be followed by a fractal (we’re able to run lvl 50, but if ppl don’t have enough AR for it, we gladly run any lvl), WvW, or PvP, and we usually play late, sometimes as late as 4-5am.

In WvW since our numbers are few, we will usually either zerg surf in EB or one of the BLs, or will form gank/roaming squads to destory other solo/roaming groups. A couple of us have commander tags and will occasionally tag up and lead pug groups in a karma train, but generally we like to keep a low profile.

What we’re looking for…

We’re looking for people who share our love for the game. You don’t necessarily need to have 8+ fully lvl’d toons and thousands of hours played, but at the same time we don’t want to invest in someone who isn’t going to be present, or will quit the game a week after joining either. Skill level isn’t the most important thing, we simply ask that you have an open mind, and ask that you be willing to make changes for the good of the team (i.e. acquiring a secondary set of zerker gear to make dungeon speed runs run at maximum efficiency, or maybe making a support-based build for WvW, etc).

While this post may seem formal, our group is anything but, so I must warn that if you’re easily offended, we may not be the group for you lol. We use Teamspeak and we ask that even if you don’t TALK much, at least use it to LISTEN, as we don’t want to have to type to everyone like we’re in an AOL chatroom from 1995 (one of our members has been with us for over 6 months and we’ve never heard a word from him but he comes to TS and listens/types responses, so thats all we can ask for).

As already noted, we are a small group but we’re looking to expand. If any of what I’ve said here sounds at all interesting, feel free to contact us in-game. If you’re not completely sold by this post, feel free to “try us out”. Whisper us for TS info, and we can run dungeons/play PvP/run EotM with you so you can get a feel for our group before you decide to join. If you’re from a different server, we can arrange for help with the transfer fee as well.

I’m not on SF anymore, but I will bump for CoSA Banjo is one of the most charismatic commanders around. It was always fun running with him and CoSA

I’ve been on SBI for over 2 months, and I must say it’s a great community to be a part of. When I got here, we were very dominant in WvW and then about a month ago we saw a large exodus of WvW guilds that were bought off by other servers. Even with that happening though and against the overwhelming odds of facing DB and FA week in and week out, SBI is still out there in force everynight, and it inspires me (and a lot of others) to come out and do the same.

SBI also has a very strong PvE community for those of you who aren’t 100% WvW-centric (like me). Tequatl is successfully beaten everynight at 8pm est, followed by the Karka Queen, and sometimes the world event train goes on for several other events as well. If you happen to stay for the whole thing, the loot is amazing lol.

There’s a server-wide Teamspeak, which is one of the huge plusses for me, originally coming from a very fractured server (Sorrow’s Furnace) where a 3rd of the community used Mumble, a 3rd used Teamspeak, and the other 3rd used… something else, Idk. But being able to just hop into a channel with 30-40 ppl and just do something, at anytime, is awesome.

If you’re looking for an awesome overall community with a winning attitude that doesn’t quit, SBI has it all.

You ppls’ connections and/or pcs must suck, b/c I barely ever have lag or skilllag issues, aside from a 3way clusterfudge inside Stonemist here and there when theres an INSANE amount of ppl in one place. Other than that, no issues. Maybe it’s not the game that is the problem, but for you that’s just the easiest thing to blame it on…

So lame, all the GvG’s my guild has done have been on the weekend, and I work weekends… haven’t been able to be there for a single GvG

CoSA never disbanded. The rumor started with a minor offhand joke comment from a non-CoSA SF player. SFers found it pretty amusing that so many players from other servers rejoiced at the “news” of CoSA’s “demise.” So all of SF, CoSA and non-CoSA alike, played along to see how long it’d last.

That was quite awhile ago. Thought everyone had already figured it out.

Eh, last time we faced SF was when the rumors of CoSA disband reached it’s peak… And unlike MU, I don’t stalk SF threads… So I couldn’t know.

Got em! lol We don’t mind stalkers though, groupie love just inflates our egos

I feel like this thread is a SF eulogy… At the beginning of the season, we were a favorite for first or second, and now… well, when I went into our BL at around 4pm yesterday (which is when we usually have some decent numbers starting to get on before primetime) and KN had 2 waypoints on our map, it was just a “WTF guys” moment. It’s like no one gives a kitten anymore, and for the guilds that DO go out there and try, it’s starting to wear on us a bit, b/c we’ll go out there, paper some keeps/towers, etc, and when we get off, we HOPE that others will keep flipping, and it just doesnt happen. All the keeps we flipped are right back to t3 2 hrs later, and thats how they stay until the next day. It wasn’t like that even a month ago.

It seems like a combination of things has really kind of destroyed a lot of our WvW situation… the 2week beating that HOD gave us, losing to DH for second place in the league when we THOUGHT we could win, the ending of the WvW season achievements (which means the PvEers have nothing left to do in WvW), etc… Idk.

I’m in no way trying to diminish anything the other servers are doing right now b/c it seems like AR in particular has stepped up tremendously (as well as some of the other servers), so I have nothing but respect for AR and wish them the best in their rise. It feels like as other servers make progress, SF is doing the opposite. So we really have some things to work on as a server, at least from my perspective.

If this post came off as me trying to make excuses or whining, that’s not what I intended. I’m simply making an observation from inside of SF.

GL to everyone with the rest of the week!

Dear [StaR]

I know I speak for [VLK] when I say, we are having a lot of fun running into you guys. I haven’t had much play time personally but the few hours of prime time I get has been a blast. Keep it up.

Obligatory: Yo momma so… fourm ban

Speaking for [StaR], the feeling is mutual bro. Good fights so far, and despite the fact that SF is clearly losing this matchup this week, we definitely enjoy the fights against [VLK], [FKB], and [MU]. It’s putting us to the test and we love the challenge.

Seriously fun night tonight, I was there for a lot of the fights against MU tonight in EB and then when they spilled into HoD BL after we took their Bay. Super intense. Keep it up

Don’t sleep &_&

mugen.4763:

Its a close battle so far. Looking forward to a fun week
Lets keep all the bragging, QQing and badmouthing to a minimum from all servers, (we’ve heard it all before) and have some fun ^^

: D

I’m sensing a lot of hostility in this thread, I think some ppl need to simmer down.

To anyone involved in the epic battle for KN’s T3 garri right now… GG

For the most part SF is lacking during the Oceanic hours, but I just tried making a dent in that tonight. Kept us above 300 PPT from 1am to 7am, painting BLs blue and keeping all the keeps paper in both BLs. I thought we’d see more AR and KN out there, had a couple decent fights, but it was mostly just a karma train so I could waste my birthday booster

The first post from your server is a comment on how the other two servers will make for a boring week for sf. Then comes a blatant recruitment for players from 2 servers that you are stomping. He also says that IF you transfer over, he’ll graciously show you noobs “how to play”. Then comes a comment on how Anvil Rocks are zerker noobs. Insert more posts on how everyone not from SF is “bitter and mad” next and how SF is so chill. Then SF starts talking about how the other 2 servers are crying and needing tubs to catch their tears. SF might be in the bronze league, but your server’s trash talking skills are certainly tier-1 material. Even if I was tempted to transfer over, after reading the kind of posts your community posts on matchup threads, I’ll say no thanks.

Iceburn.4217:

Correct me if i’m wrong, however I have seen a lot of negativity directed towards SF.

You’re not wrong. In fact, you’re absolutely right.

First of all, yes, one or two (and not more than that, thank you) posters from our server made some negative comments. Second, if you judge all of our server by that, then who is the hypocrite? But in your post you skip right over the blatant attacks and negativity from the other posters. Ironic is it not?

Like I said, nobody has said you do not have a right to be upset about someone posting, but look at it form all angles and not just down your nose.

From the angle I’m looking at most stacked servers don’t do the “sigh, it’s so sad now that I’m roflstomping everyone in wvw. Life will be boring.” When two other servers retaliate against that I clap and I say well done. The other servers might be negative, but when the representative statement from a server consists of “u mad bro? yes u mad. probably still mad. cry moar” how am I supposed to judged SF?

Judge those that make the comments, not the whole community. That is the point I am making. And yes, I am the one asking if he was mad and still mad. But only because he made the magnanimous statement grouping every person on SF into the same descriptive categories he was complaining about.

Same is true here. I like your post, it is well constructed and makes a valid point without trying to disparage others, direct or indirect. I only go after those that are gong after me or my server with no valid reason. He may have had a valid response to the one or two posters who said something before he did, but to go after all of SF for those forum warriors really just invalidates his rant.

Haha I guess that’s true. I think in a even matchup noone would have even given a shred of attention to those posts but SF is destined to be the “bad guy” this week lol.

Because we’re the bad guy you deserve, but not the one you need right now… so you’ll troll us. Because we can take it.

Lol, best moment of the week… (and I have to write this b/c sadly I did not record it)

AR Hills, it’s paper, we have it capped… I’m alone inside. I stand on the outer wall as 20-25 AR are hitting the north gate with a ram, and I start doing the /laugh emote at them. Enraged, they’re thinking “He won’t be laughing when we get inside!”

They get to inner, start ramming the door, and again I’m /laugh emoting on the bridge. As they get the door to 5%, I retreat back to the lord room to make my stand against the horde of angry AR just dying to kill me and /laugh emote all over my body for revenge…

They approach the lord room, top of the stairs… It’s just the lord, some guards, and my big ol norn…. right? Oh yea, I forgot to mention the 12 guys stacked in a tight ball in the corner who, as the horde floods down the stairs toward me, drop a gigantic bomb into their side, we push up the stairs through them, wiping all 20-25 of them clean within about 10 seconds No revenge for them, and now they know why I was laughing the whole time

Lol, for all those who are complaining that this week isn’t fun, you gotta be creative and MAKE it fun with moments like these

/inb4goodjobwipingpugsandanyotherexcuseyoucanimagine

Haters gon hate 8-)

Good matchup so far. I know that may seem like a stupid comment, but this time (btw like 4am-8am est) is our weakest, and AR just finished retaking all of their keeps back with an ungodly amount of golems, so I’m sure they’ll be heading to SF BL shortly. I’ll probably wake up to either red or paper blue keeps in the morning, but alas. That is the sad tragedy of an SF WvWer.

Glad to see AR has fight in them to actually not be discouraged by the 3 wp’s we put up and actually mustered the golems/forces together to get it all back. No matter the outcome of this week, AR has my respect for that. GL the rest of the week to all 3 teams

Lol, DH pulled the very move they accused us of doing and 10+ golem rushed our Hills. The funny part is ET is taking their map now while they pointlessly defend a paper Hills on our map. And we have enough siege to defend Garri and Bay for days, so they’re beating their heads against our map for nothing while ET capitalizes on them not being home Bad move DH.

Jeknar.6184:

PhaNTaSiZe.4215:

Sometimes we go where the points are (paper keeps), and sometimes we go for the ones we need to golem rush with 10+ omegas (t3 sieged up keeps). GG to everyone!

FTFY

I belive they are all the same if you look that way… Our fully upgraded overlook fell as a paper keep last night, after being golem rushed while most our peeps were sleeping (Not that we weren’t outmanned the whole day, everyone was fighting to try hold ETBL).

This is a prime example of what I meant when I said I can’t speak for the rest of SF… I personally do my best to stay away from EBG as I personally view it as a cesspool of Stonemist-addicted mindlessness, so that golem rush was not my doing. And I’m sorry if that seems like overkill, but hey it got the job done, one way or another. A cap is a cap.

Last night was a big night for SF, not only b/c at one point we had all the keeps in the BLs flipped, but b/c our major groups finally started working together really well. It was one of those nights that gave me a lot of hope for the rest of the season To the rest of SF, GJ guys. To ET/DH, GL with these last 2 days. I personally don’t have a preference for who takes 2nd, but I can’t speak for the rest of SF. Any time spent capping things in either of your BLs isn’t personal, I assure you. Sometimes we go where the points are (paper keeps), and sometimes we go for the challenge (t3 sieged up keeps). GG to everyone!

Good matchup so far

Despite the fact that we’re completely overwhelmed and we know it (server morale this week is pretty low), we were just able to take down the wp that Yaks had in our Bay after they had it for like the whole day, so that felt pretty good

Even though this matchup is horribly uneven, I still like the challenge, so I wanna throw a quick thanks out to the rest of the SF guys that haven’t given up this week. Here’s hoping next week will be a bit more even

I’d like to say the same to ET, b/c they’re in the same boat as we are and I see them out there continuing to fight as well, so keep it up everyone!

Get pumped .

i have 2 warriors, and PVE is faceroll easy on a warrior… lvling is a breeze. just go for DPS stats (anything with power, precision, crit dmg) and you will see the lvls fly by

is there a way to get sentinel’s stats w/o spending a fortune on the tp?

cheshirefox.7026:

i hope the day never comes when [vs] is tasked with a situation that involves more than
wait for numbers + stack + port bomb
because that is a day they’ll be rather disappointed in themselves

Lol. I’m from SF and I agree.

Hey T8 brethren

i’ve tried both, and while i felt power/wells were GOOD, i didnt feel like the burst i did with them was sustainable… like i felt like once i popped all my wells n kitten, i was left with just auto stabbing with dagger until cd’s were over. idk, maybe i ddint do it right, but at any rate, i went back to condition build and with the tweaks + new condition we’ve received recently, i havent looked back. love my condi necro

Lol, I’m inside Bluebriar on DH’s map with 6 ppl… and they’ve been trying to take it from us for almost an hour now with a zerg of 30. I almost feel bad ><

Lol, just held off Redbriar in IOJ with 5 ppl against 15 (ended up being closer to 20) for about 2 hrs. Our numbers got smaller and they brought more ppl :/ Oh well. Good times
