As my posts are within the terms of agreement, and those of other votf members such as lance and caliban,

Then on the other hand, there are the VoTF members that had a tantrum and vandalized this sub-forum with spam threads earlier today.

Stay classy VoTF

I endorse what they did as well. In fact, I was on comms laughing with them while they did it. We will do what we want with the forums until a developer responds. I am sorry I adversely effected your web browsing for the night. Except I couldnt care less.

I’ll be honest. I thought it was hillarious as well.

best hour of the night imo

Indeed. Haven’t laughed that much for a while

Daemonne.5018:

I see more trebs being used and mroe catas.

Anti Treb you say? oh, well thats good cause we took your camps and can build multiple trebs to take yours and your walls down.

Except that we only had one guy on the treb and rest stopping you from taking our camps

Oh your ACs were on those walls? Sorry I’ll aim better next time.

Sure if your buildsite survives long enough ^^

A calssic siege is about having the resources to outlast the other group. Running a target out of supplies until they can no longer reinforce is what it will take.

You only need a few people to man the siege, there is MANY others to recap the camps

Range down all the ACs on the walls and they will run our of resources to replace them.

ACs can be placed so that player skills wont reach them

I don’t believe the ACs will stop zergs from happening. Large groups will be able to carry the supplies needed to siege a tower/keep so they will still be more desirable. The small groups will be relegated to camps and yak slapping.

Well, that makes sense

I do see a rise in treb purchased…I’m taking out stock when I get home :-)

lets put it this way… treb/cata… no1 can argue that zerg at door was just unstoppable. now it isnt anymore and its a good thing.

Let me put it this way. Vizunah caps everything at night -> Vizunah has upgraded towers with arrowcarts AND a blob. You can’t zerg the gate. Your countersiege will be derstoyerd by the blob. What are you going to do now?

Sounds like you all have a serious problem in EU T1 that has nothing to do with arrowcarts.

These new arrowcart buffs add to the problem. Vizunah is known for their habit of turtling inside a tower and avoiding open field fighting at all costs, often having 5+ arrowcarts in one tower. It is VERY boring to fight against and with this new arrowcart buff I can see this type of boredomfest becoming more popular.

AC being useful is the worst thing that could happen to the game. now viz bloob can (hopefully) be killed by defending group and not be let in the keep to get wiped in the lord room! what a terrible idea. it might lead to completely new concept of playing gw2… non zerging tactical play. omg, what were they thinking.

What makes you think you’ll have something to defend? Viz upgrades all the towers and builds million arrowcarts during the night and you have no chance of getting them back now

Raege.1069:

Sorry Svarty but you are taking completely wrong approach to this. Instead of limiting how often people can transfer they should make people want to stay on a server.

they are trying, just look at how deep you must go into guild upgrade to get the “good” stuff, ie Missions, though people that don’t care for such things have no issue with moving servers and losing the time spent on getting said upgrades, its just not enough to entice people into server dedication.

That is limiting too tho. Instead of all the limits they could look into what makes people tranfer and fix the reasons. They could make opponents change more often, not give free tranfers to servers that are already filled, switch glicko to something that doesn’t make people get stuck in certain tiers, add some open field objectives, fix skill lag. There is a lot of things Anet could do instead of adding more limits.

Oh, well disabling mumble overlay seemed to fix this for me

THis has been happening ever since the maintenance started. It wont even let me repair. Do I really need to reinstall the whole game just because the maintenance broke my launcher? :/

Having been on both SFR and Deso now I must say I really hope SFR can get their server as pleasant to be on as Desolation (no I didn’t use them free transfers). For a server that has always taken pride in being really organized, I was rather disappointed in how you’ve been handling this. But I hope you’ll get back on track soon

This ridiculous hate to Deso coming from SFR now is just stupid. I get that you’re mad that Arenanet ruined your server but it’s not Desolation’s fault. Yeah, Desolation was never built to be the uber-hardcore-WvW-server, in fact many WvW guilds left it after betas because of how crowded it was. I feel like Deso is more about trying to have fun than being the number one. Oh look, that rhymed

As for IRON. My guild is one of those small guilds that really clashed with IRON Triangle, even getting yelled to get out of their borderlands. I can totally see why so many dislike them (hell, I dislike them too). But there is no doubt they do have a huge part of making Desolation what it is today. I’ve recently seen some movement forward to a more organized and less IRON dominated server and I’m hoping Deso will have a worthy match like Seafarer’s when that movement has done it’s job. However IRON is a large guild/guilds and will more than likely stay as such so I can see why Deso could seem like IRONation in future too.

People tend to critisize IRON for blobbing. And yeah, it’s pretty annoying and causes a lot of skilllag but Arenanet in their great wisdom made the max guild size to 500 instead of the previous 80 so it’s more of a problem with the game allowing guilds as large as that and not having any other content than supersmall WvW maps for them to play together in. I know IRON has been trying to split up more recently and maybe in future we’ll see some improvement from both the game and the guild.

It is truly a shame for Arenanet doing this free transfer crap now that European t1 was finally starting to get somewhat balanced. Deso might have been losing but it was still a lot of fun.

Anyway. The reason I made this post was to say: Stay strong SFR and good luck on your reorganizing/rebuilding/whatever-is-your-plan-now. Truly hoping to have a challenging opponent such as you in future too

Edit:

After reading some of the posts made while I was writing mine. I must ask SFR: Why not just go down with dignity and rise up again, stonger and respected? What you’re doing now is just trying to bash others to make yourself feel better. We all know it’s not your fault what’s happening at the moment.

And another question to Desolation: Why not show respect to the great server SFR was? They were egoistical and filled with guilds that love drama but what’s happening now is 100% Arenanet’s fault and you have to admit SFR was one of the more enjoyable opponents to fight.

Papawan.1952:

I’m surprised that you haven’t eagerly changed your forum signature to RG/SFR yet. It was inevitable that a fangirl like you were going to join them. Now you can finally be another elitest SFR troll instead of a classless Deso tourist complaining about the server – good riddance.

P.S How much tits4sacryx does it cost to get into RG?

Why are you so mad over her transferring if you didn’t even like her? And just FYI there has been people even from IRON willing to pay her transfer back to Deso

It’s funny how a lot of Deso does their best to try and kitten her off (didn’t work all that well btw). And then there’s people posting kitten like this when she leaves (reasons to which had nilch to do with any of you lovely IRON haters).

Also was that last sexist remark really necessary?

I had the whole zerg do that for a few days after patch. Altho in my case people usually ported backwards, not forward like that warrior. Was quite hilarious trying to follow the commander. Still see it happen sometimes.

Raege.1069:

That said I hope when they get to making more they implement leaderboards for notzerg/zerg ratio, most zerging, most zergkills as certain classes etc etc. .

FIFY

Well ofc they could go with ‘most kills where no one else even looked at your target!!’ too but WvW was built to be the large group battleground so there wouldn’t really be a point.

They did say it quite clearly that the leaderboard would be just this at first. Anyone who was disappointed today obviously hasn’t been paying attention :P

That said I hope when they get to making more they implement leaderboards for death/kill ratio, most kills, most kills as certain classes etc etc. Basically I’m hoping to see all current WvW achievements become leaderboards and having secondary leaderboards divided by classes.

REAL.7483:

SFR has won the real war too, check out the latest matchups, there is nothing to be ashamed off.

No one is saying you aren’t dominating the matchups. But SFR trying to claim bandwagoners had nothing to do with it is just hilarious. Hell, even Blacktide was dominating mainly due to the prime-time bandwagoners.

The simple fact is that this game at it’s current state is all about guilds hopping servers (bandwagoning). It’d be very interesting to see how the tiers would be had there never been server transfers.

Mortix.9725:

also,when ThUn,VOTF and god knows what other guilds joined Deso after Blacktide broke up and later on,didn’t that make Deso a “bandwagon” server?

The WvW guilds I know of that moved from BT to Deso were ThUn, DkR and CIR. You do realize all three of those guilds that were a big thing on BT had most of their players quit around the same time as the good Xaoc quit. As of last week I think CIR, which used to be smallest of the three, had the most active players (5).

So sure the remains of these guilds bandwagoned to Deso. I don’t think any of us will disagree with that. But lower tier WvW just simply isn’t the same as t1 that the former Blacktiders were used to.

Then why Deso? I can’t speak for all but imo Deso is a more challenging server to play on due to the amount of WvW guilds here than SFR. Blacktide domination got boring fast, so challenging Deso was more fun option

But if we’re comparing the amount of bandwagoners I think SFR won that war long ago

Shadow.3475:

As long as the servers stand in the EU its fine with me if the Us players get bad ping.

Nice attitude. Trust me if one or the other has to get bad ping it will be euro. Anet are American after all.

So how is your attitude any better lol?

I definitely agree with the OP.

Leveling my first character was awesome fun, the world was new and the personal story was amazing up untill the final battle.

After a few months I got bored of my first character and rolled another one. I found doing the same hearts quite boring but hey, at least I had a completely different personal story to experience. Then came the Claw Island mission and after realizing the personal story was going to be indentical for every alt I made from that point forward I said kitten it and crafted my way through 40-78.

A month or so forward, I decided to roll another alt. I already knew I hated the super repetitve PvE so I just went straight ahead and crafted it. About month after that I got burned out with the game and took a nice one and half month break without logging on once.

So after my break I found playing my level 80 characters fun again. But since my favourite happened to be one of the less fortunate classes I felt like I needed to reroll. I really tried enjoying the leveling process again. I really tried. But even after months I still remembered all the hearts and dialogs in the world and found repeating them extremely boring. So, I ended up mostly crafting this character too.

Three days ago I decided I wanted to try playing guardian. I spend a day crafting and never even concidered doing maps or personal story (altho I will propably do that later up until Claw Island).

I am now completely positive that I will never level through PvE again. Even on my first character I found the heart quests boring after about 3 days. I still find it a shame Anet decided to add them instead of just having a lot of DEs like the Orr maps do.

Imho, leveling should be made a LOT faster in WvW and upleveled characters stronger. I also think for every lvl 80 you have, personal story quests should give more experience, so that by the time you’re at your 8th character you can level up by only doing those. I also think sPvP matches should give experience and you should be able to level up by just doing that too,

Definitely need an option to make them like they used to be. Showing only when targeted.

Very disappointed with the patch.

- Everyone and their mother’s title is in my face all the time and there is no way for me to turn them off and still see the names.

- I can still only see the people when they’re close enough to hit me.

- The new gear costs gold and the new skins are the sucky karma ones that were already superbly easy to acquire as a WvWr.

- There is no ascended items.

Uh.. I sure hope there’s other “new” options beside the karma gear (skin and stats). Getting karma gear was never a problem for a WvWr. Getting nice skins on the other hand….

Uh.. I sure hope there’s other “new” options beside the karma gear (skin and stats). Getting karma gear was never a problem for a WvWr. Getting nice skins on the other hand….On one hand I hope they introduce dungeon skins for WvW as that’d make getting the skins I want much more enjoyable, but on the other hand that would eat away from the value of dungeons. Imho, the cultural for badges would have been a good decision since average pvx player would more than likely gain 100g before thousands of badges.

ColinJohanson.2394:

For the next week, all the medium population servers will be free to transfer to. Might be worth giving one of them a look!

Do you people even check what the situation is in EU before making these decision? The currently strongest EU server is Medium population, guess what free tranfers there could potentially do to the hint of balance we have in T1 atm?

FrizzFreston.5290:

…

If someone doesn’t wanna get spoiled he does not read a thread complaining about lore and story.

I don’t know where you picked up that I wanted to be the hero. In fact I made it quite clear Trahearne being the leader made sense for my sylvari. My sylvari was the only one of my characters to whom the whole story made sense (other than the huge change to OoW that was made after the blogpost >.>). But I have no interest to delve in any more discussions about Trahearne. He’s not interesting enough for it.

Sinifair.1026:

You also meet him in the Sylvari Personal Storyline, so he is not just “popping” up, as some say.

He is doing just that for 4 of the 5 races. So for the majority of the playerbase he is Just popping up.

Oh yes, Guild Wars 2 lore and story is a definite downgrade from Guild Wars. Here’s my worst offenders:

The Order of Whispers

Before release we were led to believe that the three orders were working to bring Zhaitan down in different ways. The Vigil and Priory were pretty much what they were now but OoW was completely different. In the blog post we were told that Order of Whisper believed the dragons cannot be killed, but they were instead working to put them back to sleep. In fact, at release I joined OoW only because I knew they weren’t going for the kill. So imagine my disappontment when I found out what the storyline really was like.

Trahearne

I didn’t mind him taking the spotlight in my Sylvari’s story. He was a firstborn after all and introduced early in my storyline. But was it really necessary to make him say “this wont end well” all the kitten time. What a great leader, telling his troops “this wont end well” 24/7 and then “moving on”.

Story moving to Orr also made sense in Sylvari personal story since our firstborn friend had a wyld hunt to cleanse it and Sylvari were born to fight the dragons. Sylvari also had Asura to deal with Primordus and his destroyers so they could afford to sne their troops to fight Zhaitan.

Now for my non-sylvari’s this is a completely different thing. For them Trahearne just popped up out of nowhere and the game presumed my character’s trusted him from the first moment they laid eyes on him. Seriously, what? I’m pretty certain any self-respecting Asura wouldn’t let a cabbage take the spotlight just like that. Not to mention Asura have Primordus and Destroyers to deal with and it obviously isn’t going too well concidering they’re still not back underground after 250 years. Now I assume the game was trying to tell a story of my just-graduated asura being sent to deal with the less important matter (Zhaitan) but it didn’t do it very well.

For humen Zhaitan was threatening the Queen (who doesn’t seem to have a drop of Krytan blood in her but l guess 250 years was enough for Ascalonian genes to completely overrule the Krytan ones in her Kingdom), so attacking him made sense. However the stories themselves are quite bad (Logan instantly trusts a street rat, what?), and once again Trahearne just pops up and my naive character just becomes a fanboy.

Not commenting on Norn and Charr as I’m not as familair with those stories but I doubt the move to Orr, ignorance of Jormag and Kralkatorrik and Trahearne just popping up was handled any better.

The Order and Pact storylines

After amazing diverse racial stories where even the same race could have a completely different experience, the Order stories were a huge disappointment. They are far too similar, have far too many shared quests and the introduction of The Pact was the worst thing that could have happened to the Guild Wars 2 story. After doing all the three orders it becomes painfully obvious how nothing you previously do in your personal story matters. Sure there is small differences like certain NPC’s not being dead and recognizing you but it will still be the same approach to defeat Zhaitan and the same events will still take place. Sure I get to see the events from different angles but if it was supposed to be my story, why do I feel like a bystander in so great extend?

What I had expected for my OoW Sylvari

I would join OoW who was working to put the dragon back to sleep. It would be my wyld hunt to save Tyria from Zhaitan. Pretty far in the story, OoW would fail in their attempt to put Zhaitan back to sleep, and instead decide to collaborate with the other two orders. Eventually the collaborating orders would kill Zhaitan, but do it in individual squads. For example Vigil would shoot him down with their airship and tanks, Priory would shield the forces and weaken Zhaitan with powerfull ancient magic and OoW would sneak close to him and strike at the weak spots.

I apologize for the lack of sources but I cannot find the old Anet blog nor the posts in it anywhere :/

On the topic of Tybal, I think he was fine and written well. He was a nice comical break and his self-sacrifice made sense. Overall I think he was the best written companion. As for future expansions and living stories, I seriously hope they spend more time looking at the lore and making good stories. Unfortunately looking at Rox and to lesser extend Braham, it looks like they’re not doing that.

Edit:

Oh… Didn’t realize what a wall of text I wrote

Also I’d like to add that the storylines do have some great stuff in them and there’s some truly amazing little stories hidden everywhere around Tyria.

He looks cool but he doesn’t look like a Norn at all. No beard, dark skin, slender, unnatural haircolor :C

There are beardless norn, there are dark skinned norn:

there are slender norn, and Eir has the same hair color:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/4/47/Eir_Stegalkin.jpg

The Norn were inspired by Nordic culture. They are not Nordic so they do not have to look Nordic, they’re a different species than humans so they have their own spectrum of diversity not limited to Nordic skin tones.

Braham’s hair is more pinkish than Eir’s. Also, the original Guild Wars Norn were all Nordic looking. But hey, they also made Krytans white, guess they had to balance with Norn.

Let’s see

1st Fight: Why was this even on the video?

2nd: Vizunah who has NPC on him. Then you 1v1 the bad ranger who got left behind.

3rd: Bad ranger, you know how I can tell? He’s using the kitten HoM pet.

4th: Well, it was decent untill about when you’re buddies showed up behind you and so the necro proceeded to flee and get finished by the warrior, thief and ranger behind you.

5th: Well that was acctually good

6th: Same engi and necro as 5th I assume? Nice job again.

7th and 8th: Vizunah trio, this was acctually enjoyable to watch. Nice job there again ^^

9th: You killed a half dead necro with a mob. But She didn’t seem to be wearing her usual roaming gear. Then again since the person in question is my guildie I’m biased :P

10th: Another nice fight again

11th: You got killed.

Where are all the Mesmer and Ele fights?

Well that`s some… feedback.
Guess its positive so thanks.
Used leftover clip for intro, cause i dont get to fraps that much clips.
3. Fight with ranger was just because i started with half HP and survived only cause of Runes of Balthazar
4. I actually feared hes heal and then he was already dead.
5, 6. Thanks
7,8,9. was same clip and thanks to your guildie for saving me from those thiefs XD
11. Well after my elite destroyed my flesh wurm i could use DS to try killing him or to run away. And believe me i got load of more deaths.

With mesmers and elementalist it is similar as with thiefs, good ones kill you, average ones runs away from you and bad ones you just burst/lock down.

Hehe, thought I’d for once wrote what I think instead of doing the generic “Awesome man!” response :P

But yeah, you’re doing very well with so little thoughness and I’m glad to see more necro roamers running around and making videos

Let’s see

1st Fight: Why was this even on the video?

2nd: Vizunah who has NPC on him. Then you 1v1 the bad ranger who got left behind.

3rd: Bad ranger, you know how I can tell? He’s using the kitten HoM pet.

Where are all the Mesmer and Ele fights?

What I’d like to know is where’s the info of the new stat and skin sets for badges? I would have liked the blog post to tell me where our WvW ascended stuff is.

Wait. You’re saying that it’s okay for people who only do Dungeons/Orr to have the cake and eat it too, but it’s no okay for WvW player to have that? Great logic there dude.

Their goal is make money … and they do it.
Your goal is kill other player/conquer keeps … and you do it.
Maybe you can’t do both.

Goal? I think everyone’s goal is to have fun. Dungeoneers have fun by doing dungeons and WvWrs have fun by doing WvW. The question is, why is Dungeoneer’s fun worth more than my fun?

He looks cool but he doesn’t look like a Norn at all. No beard, dark skin, slender, unnatural haircolor :C

4 days before the patch is released any feedback is useless.
Btw, the fix to culling itself would be enough to make this the greatest WvW patch ever.

Probably since we haven’t really had any WvW updates before…
Seriously, fixing something that should have been fixed during the betas is nothing.
I’m so disapointed to this game.

As I said, wvw is a parte of the game and it’s considered pve … best way to earn money is doing pve

You kind of just contradicted yourself there.

Start porting from Orr to CoF and back again, and don’t do anything else. Let me know how much golds did you get then.

My point is you can’t focus on a single activity and claim it rewards you as the whole game would.
Maybe I should have written: “best way to earn money is doing some kind of pve”

I think you want to have your cake and eat it.

Wait. You’re saying that it’s okay for people who only do Dungeons/Orr to have the cake and eat it too, but it’s no okay for WvW player to have that? Great logic there dude.

Jzaku.9765:

That’s not the worst part about burning. It is singlehandedly the worst condition for a party situation. Assuming 5 people capable of applying burns are in a party only ONE of them are doing dps through burn at any one time. Compound this with how Ele can achieve permanent burning as part of their skill rotation (with warr and guard coming in close) it’s just absolutely terrible.

Ranger can pretty much perma burn too. But at least all of those classes also deal decent direct damage even in burn builds. I think a group of 5 burn anythings will still do more dps than a group of 5 condi necros ^^

“Given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it’s true, or because they’re afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.” – Terry Goodkind, Wizard’s first rule

:)

PvE players always whine about having to get badges eventho they can do it while 100% avoiding PvP. Never seen a WvWr whine about having to do a LOT of PvE for their Legendary tho. Imho badges should be removed from JPs, esspecially now that they drop like candy.

Nachtz.4930:

“Just RG”. ROFL.

Fight them, you will see. It’s easier to fight a bus with 60 pick-ups than 20 RGs together. They are helping Desolation, which has nothing to do in T1 anymore. It’s a shame for such a guild, but we will fight not to let it happen. We will try to put Desolation in T2 for the next week, it would be good for everyone.

Oh I know RG. I’ve seen them fight and have old guildies in that guild. They’re admittedly one of the best. Nothing is stopping some Vizunah guild from becoming as good tho. And with this skill lag it’s not all that impossible to blob them.

Nachtz.4930:

We will try to put Desolation in T2 for the next week, it would be good for everyone.

Good for everyone because then you can 2v1 SFR with JS/Elona?

Deso is mainly a primetime server with only a few truly organized WvW guilds and there’s no shame to drop to t2 as such. If there were two SFR type servers in t1 with Deso, we would drop down like a sack of potatoes.

Downed just needs some balancing. The downed health should depend on your build. They should either give uninterruptable stomp to every class cough necro cough or remove it from everyone. And ofc they should take a good long look at the downed skill balance.

ultranawak.7183:

We can’t anymore cauz we are 2 vs 1 and tired to give our best every time since 6 month.

What’s is it with this Vizunah attitude, let’s get something straight.

1. I don’t think there’s ever been a 2 vs 1 against Vizunah.

2. The fact that neither SFR or Deso likes Viz doesn’t mean they’re allied.

3. By allying, SFR and Deso would both doom themselves into a boring match with zero fights during day/primetime and only small bad fights during night.

4. If SFR and Deso did ally despite the matchup turning into a snorefest, you seriously think Viz would ever exceed +5 ticks?

Now I’m not bashing Viz. You are being smart and getting the points during the hours you can. You don’t have the strongest prime-time force but what I’ve seen your pugs are quite organized compared to many other servers (which sadly isn’t enough against most guild raids :/).

Also, you have Troma who I seriously admire for not going into rage mode (like so many Vizunians) but instead having a good humor even when the SFR/Deso trolls go crazy.

But seriously, quit the 2 vs 1 bullkitten.

Let’s talk about last night. Deso attacking the right side of valley while SFR was attacking the left side (at the exact same time). Door 1 destroyed, door 2 destroyed, free Lord. Then start a 2-hour-fight between Vizunah and Deso+SFR. Because you may say whatever you want, but when 2 buses from different servers are 10m far from eachothers, do not fight together, and focus the same server, I call that an alliance. The problem was not Desolation, which are, let’s admit it, terribad as usual, but still we had to do something, the problem was the RGs. We lost valley, after 2 hours of fighting and you know what ? I am ashamed for you. Better be graceful in defeat than being cowards unable to play a proper 1v1v1. But well, seeing how Vizunah could stomp the Deso bus, I can’t even imagine what would happen with RG against Deso…

I hope you can find a stream of what happened last night, watch it, and then dare telling that this 2v1 is bullkitten.

You know, the 2v1 bullkitten was flying around last week too. Pretty much every time there’s two international servers in t1 with Vizunah your server starts yelling “lololol 2v1 and still can’t win”. And it’s all bullkitten. Sure, maybe this week there is some guilds collaborating, who knows. But no one cares to hear after all the false claims in the past.

Also, if you’re tired to give your best for 6 months then why not take a break and simply drop a tier. If your server is as awesome as they claim it shouldn’t be a problem to get back to t1 when you’ve recovered.

We can’t anymore cauz we are 2 vs 1 and tired to give our best every time since 6 month.

What’s is it with this Vizunah attitude, let’s get something straight.

1. I don’t think there’s ever been a 2 vs 1 against Vizunah.

2. The fact that neither SFR or Deso likes Viz doesn’t mean they’re allied.

3. By allying, SFR and Deso would both doom themselves into a boring match with zero fights during day/primetime and only small bad fights during night.

4. If SFR and Deso did ally despite the matchup turning into a snorefest, you seriously think Viz would ever exceed +5 ticks?

Now I’m not bashing Viz. You are being smart and getting the points during the hours you can. You don’t have the strongest prime-time force but what I’ve seen your pugs are quite organized compared to many other servers (which sadly isn’t enough against most guild raids :/).

Also, you have Troma who I seriously admire for not going into rage mode (like so many Vizunians) but instead having a good humor even when the SFR/Deso trolls go crazy.

But seriously, quit the 2 vs 1 bullkitten.

You can see all the armor in game here:

Better than PvP locker if you cba to click preview multiple times

As an Asura player, I’d say before adding anymore costumes/armor or w.e, they should have the people who usually do those stuff completely redesign most of the asura armor.

Reason: The gemstore armor/costumes are well done for all races. Some of the non-gemstore stuff on the other hand is VERY badly modeled (and to lesser extend textured). There’s pants with waistline that looks like a rectangle, a LOT of clipping issues and stretched textures and whoever got the stupid idea to just resize human male armor instead of making a good unisex armor that acctually fits the race should be fired. And don’t even get me started with the shoes. You can tell the Asura armor was made last and therefore rushed.

But once they’re done fixing the armor already in the game then yeah. I’d like costumes to work more like in GW1 or alternatively them focusing on armor and weapon skins instead of townclothes.

Angelyne.2936:

Several report since the saturnday states that SFR helping Desolation by cutting renforcement, even open doors and Deso cap or cleanse tower/keep attacks for them. Can you clarifiy your position about it ? it seems that we can now call you Seafarer’s Desolation.

It’s 3 factions RvR, so there’s no problem with that, if that takes 2 server to beat us, i’m fine with it, and pride about it. But it would be fair from you to just admit it.

Personally seen more SFR vs Deso fights than Deso vs. Viz ones. Acctually at one point yesterday it looked like part of the Deso zerg was defending Vizunah’s garrison from SFR for a few minutes (later that night we conveniently ninjaed the very same garrison when Viz chose to ignore us and only defend the gate SFR was attacking o_O) :’D

This is in large where the problem stems from, and you can see it in your post. You equate skill to numbers which is something I am constantly against. Sure the lag has made the number of auto-attacks make a difference but in general terms when fighting larger numbers there are ways you can win that arent all that hard to figure out. All servers seem to tout their “militia” or “Pugs” and want to make the game as fun as possible for the “pugs” but is that fun really blue-balling the enemy to the extent that the only fight you get is one you know you will win as a fact? Or is it engaging in a fight that you have no conclusion drawn upon and you win through sheer willpower and skill? Which would you prefer? VoTF havent got to the point we are at today by blueballing people, neither has RG nor quite a few other guilds I know that will engage no matter what size you throw at them. We engage and look at our limits we then look at how we can improve on what we have. Why deny the casual player on any server that opportunity? Because commander ego’s want to be known for “Winning” every engagement?

Winning means a different thing to many people but to those of us who truly play GuildWARS 2 for fighting others who are good winning doesn’t always mean wiping the enemy, it means improving continually and finding new ways within which you can advance your approach to fighting other players. Blueballing is absolutely against this ethos, an ethos which you can actually derive success from, rather than the disgust inducing blueball / hide in keep tactics that seems to be prolific at the moment.

So I ask again, why aren’t pugs going to charge WL? Why not charge VoTF or RG or any other guild out there? What do you have to lose? If a tower or keep is under attack then why not just give it up freely because you will have to face said guild anyway. The best defense in this game is offense, keeping the enemy on the back foot even as a pug commander gives you an advantage and it is quite possible for commanders who are organized enough to control the “randoms” on a map to engage an organized guild and keep them held off in open field… You just need to try. If you die in open field what will you lose? Nothing! Thats right! Absolutely nothing but you may surprise yourself with a win, or a very small repair bill, either of which means you’ve had fun.

I’m quite certain Genev’s post doesn’t imply skill= numbers in any way.

You say VoTF and RG haven’t gotten to where they are by running from fights that seem lost. Well, I believe neither is running with multiple undergeared and underleveled people without voip and with absolutely no build synergy either. There is potentially quite a big difference in 25 pugs and 25 members of a WvW oriented guild. But you are completely ignoring that difference.

Genev.2450:

Seriously? Of course pugs aren’t going to charge a well-known guild of a certain caliber, that’d be stupid.
There’s a difference between going “QQ DUN WANNA DIIIIEEEEE” and “If we charge them, we die and lose this tower/keep/whatever the kitten it is that we’re trying to hold”.

Challenge is good, but there’s a difference between challenge and sheer idiocy.

QFT. It’s amazing how many people don’t seem to realize this.

Then again, people also whine about Vizunah after pushing themselves in the same matchup as them. It’s quite simple really. Not interested in fighting Vizunah? Stay in other matchups :P

Edit:

And if you came to t1 just to push Vizunah down, then why all the whining. You knew what you were getting yourselves into.

ArgosSoft has had that for a while (not discrediting dulfy, just saying there’s alternative for ALL the weapons out already)

They also have the best armor gallery around.

This is a troll right?

Vayne.8563:

We’ve done most of the explorable mode dungeons with lower level characters in our guild. They’re not impossible, and sometimes level scaling characters up is actually very good…this is particularly true in the fractals. I’ve done many fractals on lower level characters and the level scaling works a treat.

But no matter how dungeons are designed, human nature is still human nature. There are nice people and idiots. No game can fix that. If someone kicks you for no reason, odds are they’re not the nice people.

You’ve done the new AC on lvl 35s? Because that’s the dungeon OP is talking about.

A group of lvl 35 people in mixed blue and green gear without any meaningfull gear upgrades, since that’s what most players at that level are wearing. Also make the group 2 rangers, 2 condi necros and an engi for extra proof.

^video this and I believe that the chances were for the better.

I adore my ranger. It’s the class I enjoy playing the most. But then I catched myself always getting a bit annoyed when my dungeon groups would end up having other rangers than me, because I knew our damage was subpar to other classes, mostly single target and the better dps pets get unavoidably oneshotted by bosses even when traited and cared for.

It also got very tiresome to rename my pets every time I had to switch the setup. Countless times have I had to write the name of my pet again and again and again. Not to mention how kitten pets are when it comes to fighting thieves and mesmer in PvP. It’s a trained animal, not a lapdog that should return to beg treats every time it’s opponent goes poof.

Aren’t ascended gear supposed to be a filler between exotic and legendary? If it takes this long to get ascended equipment, then they must be doing it right with the drop rate of precursors. We ARE intended to get them in a year!

Doesn’t take a year to get an exotic. Let’s say and exotic costs 2500g. Now by farming CoF p1 6g/h it would take 416 hours, that’s 17 days. But since no one plays 24/7 for 17 days let’s say it’d take 1,5 months for a somewhat HC player.

Not to mention Legendaries are cosmetic upgrades. Ascended are stat upgardes. If, for example, instead of stat upgrades ascended amulet would add some sort of aura to your character and rings add particles to your hands I’d say most people would be quite happy.

Wait til they add them Ascended Weapons. I feel pity for them new players. They’ve missed out on a lot of dailies/monthlies.

Well, to be fair. I think/hope that the current state of ascended stuff is there only because they didn’t want to make Jewelcrafting so much better than other crafts (hence no craftable ascended) or HC WvW guilds (who more than likely have thousands of badges stacking in their bank) able to acquire superb stats a lot faster than the casual PvE guy who’d likely never step in WvW again after getting steamrolled a couple of times (hence no ascended for badges).

I think by making gaining ascended stuff take as much time for anyone they are trying to give the casual PvE people a chance but failing quite miserably. But when the time comes, I believe ascended will become acquirable just like exotics are now. I just think they didn’t think this time limit through for the players who play multiple toons and multiple specs. And concidering this game IS a sequel to another game where having multiple toons and specs was the common thing to do. I find it a little silly that they didn’t think people would do that in this game too.
