I play Ranger and while I think the Druid is cool, playing a support role just isn’t my thing. I just wish there was at least 2 per class just to give us some options and new things to play with.
People will probably say “Because that would defuse the limited character slots” Well I say no it wouldn’t. You can still limit people to 5 characters and still give them the option for each character slot to pick a server.
So I decided to purchase the 3 pack mini-pet bundle. When I got my pets in my bag, I clicked on “use” and nothing happened. How do I use and see my pets?
SBI will be coming in third place from the T1 bracket, however, they always placed second place up to this point. JQ will come in second place in the T1 bracket, so I would assume they remain in the T1 bracket for this next match. No here comes the question and why I am confused. ET placed first in the T2 bracket. Normally how it used to work is ET and JQ would swap places, but would SBI drop to the T2 bracket? Would SBI still have more points in the rankings then ET and SBI would remain in the T1 bracket making another HOD vs JQ vs SBI and ET would remain in T2 bracket? Or is ET going to get pushed to T1 and SBI would fall to T2?
With my MF armor, I have over 100% MF. Yet, I don’t notice a difference with drops compared to when I don’t have my MF gear on. In fact, I get more and better drops without my MF on because I can kill them way faster with my main gear on. With 100%+ MF, shouldn’t I be getting high level loot every time I can loot a NPC?
I find it funny that people continue to claim ET and SB worked together. I can assure you that we did not team up with each other. If you actually went around the Borderlands, ET and SB were fighting each other. It just so happened that ET and SB had the same mindset to try knock off HOD. Great minds think alike, right? And hey! It actually worked during the weekend.
When it came to the weekdays, SB and ET just didn’t have the numbers to compete with HOD. This is due to people sleeping after long hours of play, and people who had school and work. Lets face it, ET is a low to medium populated server. We can easily destroy HOD during the weekends, but come the weekdays, our medium population showed it’s ugly face.
Even members from Titan Alliance have said on other forums that they were pretty much capturing things for free with little to no forces from ET and SB during the weekdays. Hey, it’s pretty cool you guys at HOD are undefeated. But do you want to know what is more impressive? That a low to medium populated server is in the top 1 to 2 tier servers.
It used to be 7PM Eastern, but they pushed it back an hour to match the monthly achievement reset. So it’s now 8PM Eastern. Same time as last week. It will be the same time this week. It will be the same time next week. It will be same time every reset.. Unless of course they change it again.
I’m by no means the best player in this game. I’m by no means a super hardcore player. So why should I be punished with dungeons that are near impossible for my friends and I to complete? So what are we supposed to do? Grind dynamic events in Orr over and over? That was fun for the first few times, but it gets boring fast. So what next? Play the story mode dungeons over and over? What’s the point when the only way to get exotic tokens are from explorer mode? Play WvWvW? Sure, we enjoy WvWvW, but when one server literally owns the entire map, what can 5 of us really do?
I like a challenge, but what I don’t like is smashing my head against a wall. There is literally no room for mistake in these dungeons. You have to be 100% perfect or else you’re going to fail. Stop pushing your casual fans away.
I decided to try out a support type ranger and trait into the spirits. Went into a dungeon with some guild mates and guess what. Spirits are utterly useless as they die not even 10 seconds after I summon them.
If we get rid of every single situation that portal is useful for, then what is the point of the skill?
Basically, no one has an issue with portal, until it’s actually useful. And then all of a sudden, OMG OP. I’m waiting for the next post about how you shouldn’t be able to portal siege golems.
Portal is in the game, ANet obviously intended people to use it for useful purposes, and not just be a fluff skill. Those useful purposes would include:
1. Using it to keep an agent hidden in a keep to sneak in a strike force.
2. Using it to speed up the movement of a critical player.
3. Using it to speed up siege golems.
4. Using it to recover from falls in puzzles.
5. Using it to move armies around quickly.
Every single one of those can be countered, they are not “I win” buttons. If you just sweep the keep for enemy players after you take it…no more “hacker” army invading your keep.
Allowing the Orb carrier to portal jump is a little too much. Everything else is fine, but make it so the Orb carrier can’t portal jump.
Players who are carrying the Orbs should not be allowed to use the Mesmer portals. It’s already hard enough to catch the Orb carrier when he is surrounded by 30+ allies. It just becomes impossible to catch him when he can portal jump. Just saying.
Allow us to have a trait where the Longbow can deal full damage even at close range. This would be for the last tier of Power. It could replace Remorseless.
So we had a verg of about 30 people to the other teams 15 people. We got pushed back because they owned all 3 orbs and had superior statics then we did. Any plans on reducing the orbs effects?
In four hours all the drama and all the trash talking comes to an end when ET clashes with HoD. (At least I think Arena Net is going to match them in the same battle) We’re going to see if all that talk was real or just a bunch of garbage nothing.
Honestly.. I can’t wait to be apart of this war.. It’s going to be FUN! Time to put up or shut up.
As the topic says, I think it would be cool if we could send a mail to our entire guild at once. Of course ranks would have to be given permission for this, but it would be very easier then individually sending out mails to each member.
I think the points system is perfectly fine. People need to realize that they are still sorting out the rankings. Look at the top 3 servers, they’re all within 10,000 points of each other from last I checked. Any server could have pulled out a win. Give the matching making another week for the lower brackets before you think about altering the scoring system.
During the beta weekends, I saw tons of ArenaNet players running around. I have yet to see one running around since the game launched. Are any of you on Eredon Terrace? I’d love to run some dungeons with you.
They should be auto-looted instead of being placed in a bag. Half the time I’m WAY too busy fighting to even notice the bags. The only time they should spawn in a bag at your feet is if your inventory is full.
Or have them be auto-looted and have the bags a stacked item like those bags you get from humanoid NPCs.
So each and every single group I have been with, the AI seems to be drawn to me every time. Every single pull, the AI goes for me and stays on me instead of switching to my other team. I’m a Ranger by the way. So I am wondering how does the AI determine who to attack? Because I would actually like to deal sit back and used my range weapons for once instead being instantly attacked by every AI in the dungeon and having to do nothing but run around circles with my head cut off.
I’d also like to add, why would Ruin need to spy at this point in time? Eredon Terrace owns everything on the map. Not only that, you get sword symbols on the map that show you were action is currently at.
Do you also believe that Eredon Terrace is only doing this? I’m 100% sure that people on HoD, SB, and JQ do this. The thing that is different, it seems like Ruin could care less about their public reputation where as the other major guilds do care about their public reputation and refuse to admit that they also do this kind of stuff.
I don’t doubt it, but why should they have free run of exploiting the system? If they want to flaunt their corruption they should just be removed. You know what they say, the nail that sticks out gets hammered.
How are they exploiting the system? Because they transferred to your server and started to recruit? What’s the difference in doing that and just making a new character on said server they want to recruit from?

I don’t see an issue with spies. I mean, this is war after all. We have people in the US military who spy on other countries. So what is the problem here?
we have no intention of killing your server, we will however accept people who wish to leave as we are still a really REALLY low population server.
And there it is, your error you just stepped into.
You are NOT accepting people, you are going and POACHING people from other servers. Theres a huge difference.
And in the WvW side of the game, no you are not a really REALLY low population server, you’re one of the highest pops with highest queues, unless youre recruiting them for pve!
Stop being selfish and just roll with the server who chose to play the server instead of making yourselves look like even more ridiculous.
Since when was it against the rules to recruit people? At the end of the day, it’s the players that decide if they want to move to another server or not.
To the people who claim Eredon Terrace threw their 24/hr matches. You’re all ignorant. Some troll from HoD threw around the rumor that we didn’t want to face them so we threw matches. Do you believe everything you hear and read? Come on now. Do you honestly think anyone on Eredon Terrace want’s to be facing SoS and Jars? It’s not fun for any of the three sides. I haven’t touched WvWvW since the first day of the one week battle.. Why? Because it’s boring due to the fact that we own everything.
We didn’t throw our matches. When we faced HoD in the 24/hr matches, we lost. We got ourkitten handed to us expect for one match and that one was very close. Just because we lost doesn’t mean we threw the 24/hr matches. If you must know, we actually destroyed SoS and BG which was our last 24/hr match. I was fully expecting to face HoD for the one week battle, but I guess I don’t understand the ranking systems.
So again, to continue and say that Eredon Terrace threw their match, you’re pretty ignorant. We WANT to face the best servers.
I reported someone for exploiting about 5 days ago with video proof. Go back to the spot where I saw the guy exploiting today, he’s still there exploiting. Good job AN.
So I don’t know how many times I have been put into a different instance then my group. So I found a work around that has worked every time. If this bug happens to you, all you need to do is go to another dungeon, zone in, zone out, then go back to the dungeon you and your group are trying to complete.
You should take your own advice. I have been involved in every WvWvW match that that has taken place. Just tonight, FoE and my guild secured ET’s home borderlands. Hell, we even claimed a tower on the front lines and upgraded it fully and successfully defended it from about 5 30+ man waves of SoS players with only just 10 people.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that Eredon Terrace night crew is probably one of the weakest out of the top 5 servers. Although we do have a very strong day force, probably the strongest. When I log off for the night and see that our server has +500 potential points, then wake up the next day and see that ET only has +150 potential points, that right there shows how weak our night time crew is.
I put high expectations on AA and TL because they’re supposed to be the top PVP guilds on the ET server. If it wasn’t for AA and TL, ET would be close to the bottom of the rankings list. As to who I am. I’m just your typical player. I’m not surprised you don’t see me on the server much. I’m either mindlessly farming or running dungeons with my guild. I don’t need to be a “known” or “famous” player to understand what is going on in the WvWvW scene.
@mango This goes beyond simple ‘targets of opportunity’ and stretches into possible abuse of free server transfers.
It can’t possibly be beyond any ones imagination that with limited slots in WvW, a server couldn’t transfer people or a guild to influence outcomes.
Soulstich you have lost your mind. You really think we would transfer people to influence an outcome of a match up??
You have gamed against us in previous games, you know how we roll. Condemned has always looked at the underdog role in games we played. Being a part of TA we would never condone something like this and neither would any of the other guilds. We thrive off competition. Winning tough battles is what fuels us. Creating a path of less resistance goes against everything we are about.
Step back, take a deep breath, and we will see you in a week.
You’ll see ET tonight, I’m sure. What’s going to happen is JQ is going to get bumped down and ET is going to take their place. I really feel bad for Blackgate and Sea of Sorrows, they got hammered pretty bad by ET and will probably get hammered by JQ.
