Really. Why would anyone snipe and insult after being almost 100% totally ignored for 3 years. Its against human nature right . You don’t learn that in a classroom. Try that with your wife/girlfriend for a day and learn the true meaning of snipe and insult. Yes I did leave because I was a walking definition of insanity. Doing the same thing, complaining, and expecting different results from Anet. BTW my main guild leader got the keys to my bank vault starting with 43 stacks of ori ingots. 16 toons, 2 accts, 10k hours and I leave it to you. Having to get accustomed to not complaining about the games I am playing now. Hard habit to break. Have fun guys.
I must have missed something. Until recently you could build 2 acs, one on either side of the cannons and take out every piece of siege from the gate to the lord even the oil pots on blue side. Garrisons just as bad when they got inner. I lost 8 unhittable acs the last time I put out acs. Trying to counter them got me a ton of rocks falling from the sky. Trying to disable them got me a nice trip back to spawn. I respect the zergs that didn’t build those acs and pounded their way thru the gates. Haven’t checked on the new LOS but seems acs are still next to useless in defense. Zerg can take 2 steps back built 3-4 cats and kill everything on the walls countering. Also remember the HOD-YB or was it YB-HOD during the 2nd tourney. Great times watching HOD defend YB side in EB and YB taking our garr and sieging it up as only they can.
No . I think specifics to the wall problems from the “experts” are the problem. Doesn’t take skill not to back up a claim. Just takes a keyboard and a whole lot of assuming.
We already had a No Walls Week with the golem thing. I am hoping for a lets give love to the defense week where you can stay on something longer than 3 seconds against a zerg. If you have a death wish get on a cannon. Its faster than standing in front of a firing squad.
I put it on the duelers to get away from the action. Also the idea you would hurt your server to get back at someone who interrupted your fight showing you have more loyalty to the enemy speaks for itself. I came upon a 1v1 on my staff ele, got no warning and my server mate let me get stomped with no rez. I came back on my stealth trapper ranger took care of the thief and followed my new server enemy for the next 10 minutes until he left. Get to the windmill and stay away from the real fights. I have NEVER been interrupted there. Don’t assume you are always in the right when your duel is interrupted.
You can add Mendons, Langor, Hills, Red and Blue Keeps on EB to the list of hitting things other than the wall and doing damage to the wall.
Just got schooled again with attackers having 2 acs and mowing down all the siege between the gate and the side inner cannons. This was on blue keep at the south double gate. The walls are protecting the attackers better than the defenders. As soon as I get undisgusted, lol I will walk around the inner putting down acs and checking sight lines. A bit wiser if not poorer now.
Never have I seen so many mesmers especially lower level ones being so aggressive. I am being attacked by Invader, Raider, etc, so they must be feeling their new found power. I know better than to complain about anything in WvW because its automatically ignored by Anet and I would just be wasting my time. I make sure I have a Mesmer friend around when I am roaming now.
Well I am glad somebody is having fun. Speaking as you who scouts and roams this is not my cup of tea. I hope my side at least has a T6 node or 2 so I can make an appearance.
Mesmers are definitely feeling it. I have never had so many up level, invader, raider etc coming at me from one class before. It is happening all the time now. I pull out my fly swapper and finish them and hope they don’t have a big brother-sister hanging around.
Uh he obviously could play his class before so stop with the insulting bs from the cheap seats. The ability to change your ascended armor is also garbage when the runes are all 12 plus gold now that I used on my 3 complete sets plus. I did not want to put 10s per runes on my ascended. This hit kitten us that ran hybrid builds, in my case, to throw off the thieves etc in WvW who know what you are going to do before you do it, especially if you are a ranger. It seems another attempt to vanilla all the builds at a great cost to a lot of us.
Traps are strong for PvP and defending a spot? Try that with a xp thief in WvW. They will give you a nice bow at the end.
The way the build was played and its flexibility and mobility have been destroyed for me. Tried to throw a trap to snare a thief it drops at my feet. No thief snared and the thief knows where the trap is. He is on me when I drop a trap, stealth is minuscule he doesn’t miss a punch. I cant reposition cause he knows where I am almost every second. It is an entirely different style of play now. You show your hand now every time you drop a trap. They use to have to follow my pet to find me. Where did I put my pew pew ranger armor? Seen talk you shouldn’t be able to throw traps like grenades. Add that to the lengthy list of things you shouldn’t be able to do, like pull people off of walls etc. etc. etc. I need a drink
If that is true how did ET kill that immortal.
They are bored and what they are doing is harmless. The Legendary Defenders would tagged them if they got near to anything.
OP clearly not good at identifying builds. Single weapon set. Uh what does that have to do with my question? Ranger swoops round. Ranger has retaliation. What does that tell you fluffy? I am not into looking at weapons when I am about to be downed but I do read combat logs which was the whole point of the question. Someone clearly hasn’t xp the fight I had. Also a lot of people esp thieves love to have run a different build like I do to confuse their rivals. I am able to talk to many who admit to that after I get nailed.
I am on BP the 24th ranked server in NA and we are having severe lag with every fight. Our massive BL rolling zerg is 15 strong. Look out T1. The Lag is with us.
Thank you for the replies. I have never run into one in the 2 plus years I have been in WvW. I went into a fight with this guy thinking it was 2v1 seconds later I have a problem. It was 4 consecutive bleeds all over 2k plus a 5th sometimes or a 1k bleed follows. He is on SF, I move my accts around to learn and got schooled. He gave me that lesson while I am currently on BP, although I call FA home. There are some very talented roamers on SF.
Duck snort. I can see many have never been to the country which is why I put in. Think of a duck taking a dump. All the info you need are what I saw if you had ever run across the bleeds and the speed he takes out zerker rangers. You don’t need to know what I was running on my 2 different rangers or who was running with me. It was a simple question. If you haven’t seen it fine. Neither have I. You don’t need to list how far you missed the point of the question.
Want to know where I can get one of these. Fought one several times who had no problem winning 1v2 with duck snort kills on any zerker ranger who happened to be with me. I run a stealth trapper and the other a kind of hybrid with perp runes both having around 3k armor and still couldn’t last more than a minute. He ran a S/A with a leech sigil is the only weapon set I am sure of. Conditions also didn’t seem to stick to him. Thinking of making a 3rd ranger if I can find the build. I tried to contact him but he did his business and was gone every time. Never have lost a 2v1 to another ranger until yesterday. Several times. In under a minute.
When a server is this badly outnumbered taking the other route will only delay the inevitable. I am on DH and it seems some have forgotten GOM camping us. I haven’t been on in a few days but when I was on I saw where you have someone on FC that also knows how to deal with spawn campers. He may feel like its not worth the effort considering you are that outnumbered. I hope FC does not consider those vultures the face of DH. I have seen upclose what goes around comes around.
I feel like I fallen into an Aprils Fool prank. I have heard people over the years saying they have seen Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, UFOs, Bigfoot etc. but I have never heard of someone witnessing an instance where Anet was investigating hackers in WvW. Is this subject for real?
Zing. My point was missed. What in game is giving direction on what to do in this new story. Having fun? Holding fortresses for boss-fights? Boss fights accomplish what. There is no direction I can find in game on why and what is going on. Defend red? Why. Defend yellow? Why? 2 paths blocked to something. Why and what do I do?
Looks like I am heading to Dulfy to find out what to do and why in this game again.
I seemed to be missing something. Why should I care if a supply bull gets anywhere, something gets defended, something gets killed etc. I see yellow messages everywhere but no direction in-game. Why is everybody doing what they are doing other than to collect a mission reward. Do I read a cluebook from Dulfy. Again
To the above, learn to read. It was one of the builds I ran trying to defeat him. It was during one of the ten or so fights I had when the above happened. I wanted info on how a thief could take a burst including 4 crits in a row that never did over 4oo damage and the others 275 or so.
The thief ran a couple of different builds during our string of fights as did I. But my main point is I had never hit anyone with a burst that included 4 crit hits in a row, and seen so little damage. I run ascended everything. When I get a burst in usually that person is looking for an exit. He wouldn’t accept a party invite and I didn’t push it. If I see him again I will keep on going.
Fought a thief several tines tonight which for me is not a healthy thing to do. During one of the many fights I had switch to the meta build for rangers and hit him with the usual rapid fire. He never at any time took over 400 damage from any critical hits from that. Most of the fights with him he ran a D/P with SB. Another who had fought him called him a hacker. But I am thinking maybe he was legit. If so I want that build for my thief toon. I know he was stealing my skills from time to time in the fights I had with him which is the only utility skill I am sure of. I have always been able to get my measure of thieves before but not tonight. I hope he got nothing but spikes. All ten of them. Anything you can teach me? Other than to leave him alone.
I have had the pleasure of fighting MAG roamers and havoc groups. Tell those guys they are kitten. Its like fighting an all-star team. Time for me to go find a nice zerg.
FA here. I for one am certainly glad I am not in the sights of BG. Still wearing all the shoe marks from JQ and TC. I thought they would be happy to be fighting a server where they are not clicking 695 nearly every night. At least I never had to repair my armor.
I know this will close that discussion but it has to be said. If you want a meh reaction you have the perfect karma train member or cmdr. If you want someone who has a bit of passion for the game you find the scouts , the roamers, the leaders , who put in long hours, and at times, not gaining one level. The guys who make dozens of runs an hour to camps to build siege, repair etc. Those are the folks who are my brothers in WvW. Not the meh ones. Go back to EOTM.
Saw a comment about how YB and HOD didn’t double up on FA during the previous tourney. I was there. They did. Vivid memories of being wiped out of OW by HOD and then leaving. Many times during many instances that happened. Pleasant memories of YB sieging up our garrison with trebs, acs and even golems, while they had lost everything on EB. Hours of fighting on the west side inner with all that being on the dome. We were more than waiting on YB after the tourney. We laid a 180k plus on them. HOD met the same faith. I would not say we wont double up YB. If SOS asks me for siege on YB BL, they will get it. I look forward to seeing YB again. Really look forward. Gotta love WvW.
I have a feeling you were not there. If only the camera could pan to the steps of our keep. There was an equal group there with thieves and mesmers cloaking. We backed them up several times and found that out.
At least its not SOS. I wouldn’t waste the siege disablers this week. It will only prolong the inevitable. My apologies to TC for not being able to give a more interesting week.
When I finished playing my level 7 guardian yesterday I must have left him in a bar. He woke up today naked, his armor is now level 10 and he has forgotten his 6th skill. I wish I knew the lady’s name I was with to get my stuff back. And to ask for another date.
I don’t believe there is any 2-1. YB took SMC while HOD was preoccupied in getting our Klovan early this morning. HOD trebbed it down to nothing and we put up a mighty fight, beating them off several times. YB is watching and striking where they can make a difference. My hat is off to them. Also this imploding stuff is a backhanded insult to HOD. Even with the numbers we have FA is not chopped raptor. When you beat us you have done a hell of a job. Also, it aint over till its over.
Bodies and bodies and HOD keeps on coming. They will pull ahead in the late night and early morning.
Need more Gold Sinks? The casual player isn’t driving up the costs. Just hit the player, pick any amount of gold-materials worth say 1000 or above, with a tax similar to the faction tax in GW1. Get all items of worth of course excluding the ones you cant sell. Would be easy to put in place. It would slow down inflation without punishing the ones who aren’t causing it. Inflation solved.
A better spot? The AC hit everything inside klovan and WC. This includes a cat in both towers to the left of the gate and out of los. The only better spot to put defending siege would be away in the keep. The zerg was hit immediately with cow shot and hard but I couldn’t hit the ac in either case. This is the first time I saw red circles covering the floor of a tower from acs on the outside.
Tried to defend both and had the trebs that were well back in the tower. The ACs were close to the gate during the siege and hit everything. Is this the norm? Never had it happen before this week. Sieging for defense of these towers as well as others is now useless. When I see a zerg its now port time.
After fending off several TC attacks early Friday morning I see yet another headed my way. This time it is a lone Omega Golem. He burns off the siege I had used to drive away the previous attacks and starts pounding the gate. As I dodge off the wall I noticed a group of 10 -12 Mag coming up behind him. I thought they would make short work of him. I get to the top of the wall, Mag is standing there waiting for him to finish. One even has a kite out. He dutifully knocks down both gates and a short time later Mag blue appears at Bay. What I would have to say is predictable but I would like to hear any comments.
Well we have been found out again. The decision was made after the 23k whupping we put on TC 2 weeks ago to start taking it easy. I thought you guys would figure it out sooner after you stopped seeing zergs on other BLs or few commanders in EB. I guess you are going to have to win by 300k. We are happy your ego has been stroked. Enjoy being 5th in Gold. Mags scares me a lot more than you guys.
A gold sink is needed only for the wealthy players who can drive up the price. It would be very simple to tax let’s say the total wealth of the top 25% daily to keep down inflation. The casual player isn’t going to be a problem. Since a lot of items are account or soul bound and therefore worthless to everyone else they shouldn’t be taxed, but all sellable items should be. I am sure the 75% who aren’t being taxed wouldn’t have a problem with it. Even better that money should be transferred to the poorer players. This sounds familiar some how.
