You jumped my guys while fighting alongside the most OP champ in EOTM. GGs, but careful with that ego. Of course looking forward to more fights with you lower tier guys in the future! Absolutely thrilled that EOTM was implemented with the cross-server design!
so they lost 9v5 then, still bad. or are you just pointing out their mental handicaps and inability to adjust or see a group without stealth inc?
Master Trait – Opportunist: Gain 10 seconds of fury when you immobilize a target. This effect can only occur once every 10 seconds.
Maybe it was useful before the Leg Specialist nerf but would a warrior ever use this trait now as it is? Maybe if you’re one of the few still carrying Leg Specialist or use it solely for Flurry weapon-switch to HB you would but for a Master level trait (in Arms, no less) I really think it sucks.
I obviously bring it up because I see potential for it. Maybe if it gave 10s of fury when you cripple a target instead of immobilize? If you think sword auto would make it too powerful with 100% fury uptime by itself, maybe 10s of fury on a 15s cd? I’d use the hell outa that cuz it would allow me to not dedicate a utility slot to “For Great Justice!” so that I could use another defensive utility. It could indirectly add a little more sustain to some builds just by freeing up a utility alone. Keeping the gameplay aggressive (what warriors are meant to do) would add to that.
Any thoughts on this trait or any others that might be easily reworked to clear up utility slots and/or improve on warrior sustain?
NSP, IOJ post here tomorrow when the only server with a green arrow in rank and rating is HOD.
..this guy lol.
Ofc you guys are. Haven’t you figured it out, because of the new system throwing servers with a big rating difference it causes the higher rated server to loose rating unless its a complete faceroll match up. You guys merely holding onto your points hurts our rating. Which have little to mean with whats actually going up in the match up.
Oh well. If you guys are really gaining rating, expect to be put with even stronger servers next match up… rofl.
I’m sorry, but you guys continue to make excuses for why HOD is competing in this match. First it’s because were scavengers, then it’s because you and IOJ are wrapped up in this epic battle, now it’s cause of the new match ups.
Then you say our only tactic is a zerg. I’m sorry, but NSP, IOJ your no different.
When we rise in rating and get placed in tougher match ups we will still compete. Why, because thats what we do. And if your hoping to get weaker opponents just to “faceroll” so you can increase rating, then that tells me all I need to know about you.
I really need you to clarify what you mean by ‘compete’ based on your server’s recent history. Do you mean trying your best to almost make half of BP’s points or losing to DH by 115k? Beating up on lowest tier caliber SF, FC and ET for the longest time—and more recently DR and AR has really done wonders for your ‘reality.’
See how the GREEN line is relatively on or below the BLUE line until about 36hrs ago (aka for 80% of the matchup so far)? That is called let’s make IoJ lose cuz we hate them. Yw for 2nd place. Don’t believe me? Look at the income evolution for the week. IoJ looks really weird on the day HoD passed them up doesn’t it? And before you start claiming HoD did xyz—really? HoD went and capped IoJ bl all day? Really? HoD did that to take the lead over IoJ?
I’m pretty sure by looking at NSP’s history I could say the same thing. That your ego is massivly inflated. Is it strange that NSP rating also began to rise after the change? Even though you had a pretty bad string of 3rd place finishes there?
In reference to your HoD did, xyz. No we didn’t do that to IoJ yesterday. It was NSP that we did that to. And that was concerning a comment that all we have done this match was cap paper.
Look HoD went from top to the bottom, when we lost a ton of players and guilds. By compete I mean we are gaining moral by being competitive. We are rebuilding our ranks and identity, and all NSP and IoJ have done this week is dump on that. Is it really a suprise that we started to stick up for our server? It was pretty civil up until HoD took second firmly, which had been back and fourth all week.
It’s called WvWvW for a reason. Lets just be honest here, you both wrote us off and it f’d you. It f’d you in the a.
Most servers at the lower tiers haven’t been down here forever and talking about anything earlier than the past few months doesn’t really mean much because of personnel changes over time. Aside from the initial glory for HoD while being a packed server due to it being around since beta, HoD crashed to T7 and has been at that level since—even with the temporary boost from low population influx a while back. NSP has also lost, but if you compare the quality of servers we lost to at the time of matchups vs those that HoD has been losing to in the past couple of months, it’s not even a contest.
That being said, none of the rankings matter since wvw for the most part is just a numbers/coverage game. It means little toward the quality of players.
The only thing I was addressing is the bravado that came out of nowhere from HoD. Things like calling NSP HoD’s little sister server at the start of the matchup to boasting about passing up IoJ like it was HoD’s quality that made that happen when HoD had been neck and neck with them or losing for the majority of the week until NSP decided to totally screw IoJ over. It’s great that HoD noticed and took the opportunity of being in close 2nd and NSP/IoJ going at each other’s borderlands and tried to take 1st. But to claim that HoD actively put itself in 2nd this week is false (you’re right—it was back and forth, but not all week because IoJ had taken a pretty decent 2nd place lead) and then I don’t understand how NSP got ’f’d’. NSP never lost the lead and the lead was never really close enough to be in question since even when IoJ was in 2nd, the point gap fluctuated from 3k-8k daily as well. I don’t understand where you get all this nonsense from.

you use f1 on lb and screw your 2x 30 traits while shooting arcing arrow, lb auto, and your gs burst
or
you waste your heal right after using your burst at the start of the battle and die if you can’t burst a noob with no stun breaks down 1v1 because you can’t heal and real enemies will put too many condis on you to get away
you could just play thief and not be such a niche liability to your team?
idk if just getting hit has a chance of producing ruined ore—i only ever get ruined ore if enemies CC me and my stability procs and the mining continues
Even if it is just for today. Some of us who had 4/5 for PvP daily done when PvP went down can’t get daily because now it is 4/4 and there is no daily reward chest.

fighting thief 1v1 on guardian is really hard, I had to push all the buttons really fast, but I don’t have a gaming keyboard yet, so I dont think i pushed them fast enough sometimes. Gaming keyboard is only thing holding me back ha ha ha!
i’m sorry about your disadvantage of not having a gaming keyboard and i know how hard it is to make it with only what you got. i started a fundraiser for you on kickstarter to get you a gaming keyboard (does razer keyboard sound good to u??). for everyone dollar someone donates i will give them a coupon for 1 free baby blood dragon hug.
GG to the [idr tag] engi up at Longview just now—almost had me
not so gg to the [CV] thief that came back and tried to 2v1 after his first death
also@[CV]thief: idk why you use your downed tele skill to move right next to where you were both times—you still get stabbed if you’re that close just in case you didn’t get it after those 2 stabs
Big thanks to the NSP War from AS who wouldn’t let me get the vista I needed. Match is over just let me grab the vista and be on my way
Sorry #4, orders from above (ANet) to get 10 kills today. Next time don’t take the flag point near Longview and stealth/shadowstep past the guards at Godsword so swords don’t show up.
I didn’t realize I was repping AS at the time. They didn’t have MF buff running ):
I would like to post something more lighthearted than some of the earlier posts.
For some reason or another that I can’t recall I upset someone in WvW and they challenged me with the classic: How many WvW kills you got bro?
This also made me curious how my kill # stacks up against others in my tier. I have seen some folks posting 70k+ kills counts from other servers, so i wondered if we have kill counts like that on BP/AR/NSP?
plz stop farming uplvls n grub, try pvp ur warrior necro engi friends wont carry u there like the dolyaks ur running to base supply runner
Whenever I am on and multiple people wanting to join are on. I’ll take you guys to pvp to see how you do. Have your weapons/armor/traits set up in pvp for team combat
AR is a PVE SPVP server .. like top SPVP server. get your facts straight.
What does top sPvP server mean? PvP has nothing to do with being on any particular server. Sounds like you’re trying to ride the coattails of people who don’t know/care about your PvE2 mode.
Sure we have our fair share of fail moments, but since I can recall a few of PAXA’s own as well, I don’t see why you feel necessary to go on and on about how ALS is full of bad players. Based on my own sample size of personal experience, I can justifiably say the same thing back.
A few ALS players seem to have a problem with a few PAXA members, so lets make a deal. I won’t generalize anything about you guys, and you wont do the same back. Are we all happy?
ALS groups consistently wipe to smaller groups. Let’s make a deal, if you don’t want to take responsibility for the wiped bads, kick them from your guild so it won’t be an issue anymore. Take the responsibility rather than trying to bury the truth.
I’m sorry crycrycrycrycry the bulk of the ALS zerg are all inexperienced newbies sobsobsobsobsob
I’m just here trying to find a solution to your problem, but all I hear are excuses on top of your complaints. Ignore or act—either is better than crying about it. It hurts me on the inside to watch it.
Here maybe this will make you feel better. You’re a girl right?
You’re taking things out of context, your argument is invalid.
I’m not complaining, I’m not making excuses, I’m making a point. ALS takes in new comers, we train them, and we repeat. I don’t see how you perceive this as a problem that needs solving. The so called noobs you ran over the other day are probably not the same group you ran over the other OTHER day.
The flip side of the coin is, I can go to your BL and wreak your newbling zerg group and call out every guild they belong in as “unskilled”, because you know, we totally wiped them. Every single time. Now imagine all those newblings were all in the same guild, because you know, someone nice has decided to take them all in and train them up. See where the stigma for being “unskilled” might come from if the zerg groups we run are always filled with these new people? Especially since we’re taking in a constant stream of them?
Come run up against some geared knowlegeables and we’ll see how far your elitist attitude can be shoved where the sun don’t shine. As I recall earlier today in EB, the ALS zerg 2g was running smashed through everything BP and NSP could throw at us. That was pure gold.
You want people to not talk about the trash ALS zergs when they’re wiped but you want to continue to field trash ALS zergs. And now you’re threatening to wipe trash NSP groups and brag about it? Why? Sounds like you need a friend. I’ll be your friend.
Its a good idea if your willing to fight superior numbers but not so good if you want to fight other small mans. The reason being, all the other small mans in this tier are also on NSP.
Can you and PAXA or SPEC whatever you’re calling yourselves these days
We call ourselves PAXA. Saying we’re SPCA is like saying ALS is VS haha (sorry VS, not comparing you guys to them, just an example).
Sure we have our fair share of fail moments, but since I can recall a few of PAXA’s own as well, I don’t see why you feel necessary to go on and on about how ALS is full of bad players. Based on my own sample size of personal experience, I can justifiably say the same thing back.

wafflez this is was one of the songs I was listening to on loop yesterday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afHQd-lP4yU& when i kept engaging on 40 people and getting everyone killed because “i might as well”
So two things. WTF are you rambling about? And, sorry you like dog kitten music.
pls be polite to me i am sorry i am not very good at this game but i am still a human being so i ask you if you have a question to me pls be polite because it is hard for me to keep going on sometimes and internet makes it harder too so i would like to just live in peace with you i say i am the worst thief in north america and you still insult me i dont know why what did i do to hurt you i am sorry please accept my apology and please i beg you to be nicer to everyone you meet online because sometiems you might hurt someones feelings who is already on the edge and that is not very good thing to do because they might do something to themselves and i dont think you or any sane person would want that on your conscious please listen to my words and understand what i want to convey to you because it is important that we build a good server relation and human relation with each other so we all enjoy this game that is why mods delete our posts and i have learned to treat everyone with respect and honor so please treat me online because im not doing so well in real life and i use internet to escape and it helps me until people are rude and remind me that i am sad i am sure you understand because you are intelligent enough to understand music choice is objective and everyone likes the music that is good except for people who are against you they like music that isnt good so then you can tell them their music is bad in a vain attempt to get at their feelings but be careful because that kind of shot is a marker for you lashing out after someone has caused emotional grief to you like i know i have a lot of emotional grief but i have risen above it so please for the too long didnt read accept my apology and make love to me and be my waifu forever and always i will respect you and give you money and treat you nicely im a nice guy and you know the old addage nice guys finish last but that makes sense to me because im the worst thief in north america so i finish last so i need to find someone who also finishes last and i htink you are a good candidate because we are on the same level you and i and your guild and we can be friends but before that can happen let me just publically apologize to you and your family members because i think apology is a good thing to give out because it acts as a catharsis for your soul and cleans your ills away and makes for a much friendlier environment where people can communicate ideas and be graceful to each other like swans in a lake sorry english is not first language i am just a guy lf girl 22 – 28
The people here comparing the survivability of warriors favorably vs guardians and thieves need to roll all 3 classes at 80 in WvW and in PvP.
Guardians are tanks, thieves are glass cannons with stealth and escapability, and warriors are somewhere in the middle with heavier prolonged dps and health but little damage mitigation and escapability. A warrior can be played a few different ways but no one warrior has all (or even usually multiple) of the things that are being complained about.
Also, any guardian worried about dying to a thief needs to learn about vitality and retaliation. Don’t forget about aegis and dodge along with the wall/dome skills either.
News flash, NSP isnt going to win the week. Bigger news – NSP worked together, had a good evening and had a nice morale boost. Whine all you want, but what went down in EB was a good result and even kept people logged in after they usually quit for the night. The PvD zerg happpens every night, its the only way AR is gonna take territory. It was going to happen no matter what. I would much rather see a server leaving the night with a positive result and improved morale. Who knows where we will end up next week – I know wherever we end up, its with a stronger server. Oh, and all those actions bumped us into 2nd place. Funny how that works.
News flash, NSP has the potential to win and all it takes is not being lazy at those pressing moments to get us closer. Bigger news—this isn’t the best opening night NSP has had, even last week was better.
~7AM EST Sat last week
BP 16.1k
AR 12.56k
NSP 15.49k
~8AM EST Sat this week
BP 12.87k
AR 18.45k
NSP 14.67k
Whine all you want, but what went down in EB after we had everything but AR keep was embarassing. I’m not talking about any time prior to that because we were making progress. If you left after that point, it wasn’t positive because NSP borderlands was blue and EB was being flipped back as well. The actions could have pushed us closer to first or dare I say even in first for the time being. We couldn’t even take advantage of a sleeping BP to push us into first. All it took was 15 AR in our borderlands to prevent that. Don’t you think that’s easily preventable and should have been prevented? It could’ve been a bigger morale boost seeing that +400 at the top. Funny how it turned out instead—not really.
Edit: Could one or more of the AR guys in NSP bl at that time flipping stuff please explain your thoughts at the time, the hilarity of PvD, and how many you think it would’ve taken to stop you to my comrades please?
This isn’t a 100% occurence btw—it only happens sometimes when I Vengeance and kill. However, opponents Vengeancing is infrequent but I’m not sure I’m ever getting credit for those kills.
Considering that site isn’t taking into account the new formulas A-net is using, I wouldn’t hold too much stock in the match ups projected there.
They’re only going to tweak the formula maybe and slightly over time. But really, if they actually are keeping this whole rating reset evenly, the formula doesn’t matter this week. The servers that win the biggest will be moved up to T1 and the ones who lose worst will be moved down to T8 since everyone is on even ground.
Sekz wanted to try out some of that siege stuff. Turns out its pretty ez. lol
Amazing plays by AS and AS commander Noroz as well as OS and OS commander Ocularis , TFG and TFG commander Moontrance, and SEKZ commander Calleah.
*edit: sorry the mistypes Moontrance <3333
That’s great and all, but you realize that AR just went into NSP bl and took over everything while we spent forever with 3-4 commanders on their EB keep at the end? We could have taken 1 commander and ended the NSP bl takeover but nah. Oh yeah, and everything but SM, our keep, and a few towers is now blue in EB.
tldr: AR took NSP bl while NSP struggled at AR keep in EB and then AR retook EB when NSP left.
Bottom Line: NSP barely really ever had more points than AR in all of the ‘domination’ and didn’t really get to upgrade anything. AR instead possibly wrecked some upgrades in NSP bl while upgrading stuff in sleepy BP’s bl and then PvD’d all of NSP’s EB stuff.
We really can’t afford zerg mentality on NSP if we want to win (LOL) or even more importantly, keep our ‘fair-weather’ players interested. Though if nobody really cares about any of that and just want to get the most kills and events possible while they play, that’s fine. I just don’t know why maps painted a certain color would matter then (even for bragging rights) because every server can do that at a certain part of the day while forsaking all else.
np man, we dont mind if they took at all back. why maps painted a certain color mattered… well as for that we were like yo lets do it for fun, and we did and it was a blast i really enjoyed working with noroz and moontrance at the time. and we still had most of our borderlands (if not all) and we were sitting around like 400 potential around the time i took this, i think i got a screen shot of the whole thing zoomed out.
when we finally started taking stuff it was hardly sleepy time, we were fighting 2 zergs much bigger than our own(we had an 8 man squad) around wild creek till we finally got that hold on the edge of their land.
all in all it was a great time and im sorry having to leave the field to lose everything must really be dishearting, just remember man the game is for fun, so dont be so negative, play for the moment and forget about your server rank it you’ll have a much better time.
*edit: yeh i did, here yah go.
I’m all for having fun so if you just want to take as much stuff as possible, that’s great, but if you want to win that’s even better. And regardless of which one everyone wanted to do, there was only really 1 way to go about it. And that was to send a group of 15-20 to defend/reclaim stuff in our borderland because that’s what AR was doing. Because we didn’t do that, we never made it to +400 cuz they took the towers and keep in our borderland while we were finishing up EB so we only ever got to about +345. We SHOULD have gotten closer to +400 though, which is the problem. Losing it later because people leave can’t be helped. There wasn’t anything wrong with what the smaller groups like yours were doing—it was the calls/zerg mentality of the few commanders that was lazy/dumb. It sucks cuz it’s really all the difference between AR and NSP right now as far as I can see.

Just to clarify; pushing AR keep wasn’t started by us. We decided to wipe BP. Not to throw blame around by naming, but yeah. That wasn’t our call.
You’re a commander so at any point, especially when it was taking a long time at AR keep, you could have taken ~20 people to NSP bl and spent 15-30min to protect the points and retake >1 keep. Cmon bro, 1+ uncontested keeps and towers or 1 densely guarded keep?
No, because I didn’t have 20 people following me at that point, and I untagged and logged after trying to take AR keep for a while. I called it out in /t when I noticed we lost hills, but there was no reaction. Either way, it was a good morale boost to hold that much of EB.
Alright fair enough bro. I didn’t realize at which part you left.
I understood the decision to stay (even though it was lazy) and finish when we had already started pushing the keep when they took Hills, but when it started taking too long and they went to take Bay and more while we really weren’t progressing?
It’s an easy decision, especially when you’re not taking away the whole zerg. It’s an indictment on the overall organization and strategy employed by NSP.

…most servers are already in ‘fair fights’ and the couple that aren’t will probably be by next week (definitely by the week after) if the previous ratings are kept?
I know this is asking alot, but could one of the devs explain?
I was alright with the reset before because I thought that the ratings between each rank would incrementally decrease (i.e. 1st 2000, 2nd 1950, 3rd 1900, 4th 1850, etc) so that servers could move without the big rating gaps between tiers but this is crazy.
It doesn’t make sense. Do you really just want the servers with the biggest wins to be in tier 1 next week?
Ever since the 1/28 update when Vengeance was ‘fixed’ so it is “no longer able to rally a player off of kills that grant zero experience,” it has been buggy in PvP in that if you Vengeance to get up and beat someone down and spike them (or just spike them after you’ve already downed them), you don’t get kill credit or rally with Sweet Revenge.
This even happens when 1v1ing another warrior—they Vengeance, then I Vengeance and beat them down or let them die and I end up dying right after.
I wasn’t even aware that warriors could Vengeance and rally off of foes that gave no xp before the update because not being able to Sweet Revenge off of most foes had always been one of the more annoying things to me about fractals.
T1-3 are more zergy and T7-8 are mostly small groups. T4-6 have varying degrees of mixed play. Right now it looks like the servers that will definitely end up in that middle ground after the server shuffling will be Devona’s Rest, Borlis Pass, Anvil Rock, and Northern Shiverpeaks.
Those of you who think that our servers are lucky to be matched up together are blind.
Our servers have been forever connected. We have been destined to do battle in GW2. The prophecy of this struggle has been written in the land for so long.
We left NS to try higher ranked WvW servers but I have to say the group (aka zerg) skills on top tier servers is clearly better but the one-on-one players from NS can really dish it out. Even when they are out numbered the fights often feel like someone grabbing a badgers tail.
I was recently on a T3 server in a large guild and my observations were also that everyone seemed a bit less individually ‘battle-hardened?’ or efficient but the commanders and guilds worked well at compartmentalizing within the maps and working off of each other since they had the numbers in that tier.
But back on topic—I’m glad to see that some smaller guilds made the jump to NSP. It’s making a noticeable difference (not zerg noticeable, which is good). We’re still open for business though, so why not come on over and feast on some yak?
After some discussion, [Envy] has decided on heading to NSP. We have roughly 15 or so active players, so our presence shouldn’t alter the numbers too much, for those worrying if we were a big transfer guild. We prefer roaming around in small groups, so we’re looking forward to some good fights. Hopefully the competition can rival that we had with the small-man groups on Devona’s Rest and Kaineng.
Welcome home. Hopefully the taste of blood is sweeter here.
I’m with Bird Song here…just don’t bring any huge alliances please. I’d like for NSP to be a little more competitive but I don’t want to lose the small-group playability that gets lost in the upper tier zergfests and artillery-reinforced camps.
So some of you guys who were in T4-5 that are now getting lost in the zergfests (Mag), come on over. The snow is greener.
Held off 2 50+ nsp zergs today, break-out event commander included. Also had no armor and used lvl 10- grey weapons. Great fun, would do it again.
If you’re talking about the breakout events in AR bl an hour or so before your post…there was less than 15 of us who started the breakout event on the map. We didn’t get any backup either so yeah it was only a small number of us.
We broke the wall and went in a couple times but all in the zerg we killed (lots of [RE]) kept rezzing at Hills and coming back. Then we got a good amount of kills while being spawn camped, but then half of us left and there weren’t many Kaineng in the open field either. It was fun while it lasted though.
I agree with you since there seems to be a big gap between T5 and T4 atm so just getting to T4 will be trouble. But the inevitable transfers from BP, DR, and maybe still from DH might find their way to Kaineng. More T1-2 guilds may also see Kaineng coming up in the ranks and hop over. (Someone earlier said they do only have a ‘high population’ still.)
It might not have meant much for Kaineng to annihilate T7, but once people see them doing almost the same to T6, people unhappy with WvW on their servers will start bandwagoning more.
But then again T4 pretty much has 24hr coverage and better quality.
tldr: I DON’T KNOW, MAN! I WAS GOING TO SEE IF I COULD GET IN ON THE BET WITH YOUR FRIEND BUT NOW I’M SCARED. GET OFF MY KITTEN.
If u see ALS, its probably one of them in the guild that you saw Dhampyr. Too bad we do not have much night crew, if NSP with a decent night crew is being trashed, what more AR lol
Tough Draygo, didn’t even have time to properly build defenses and the zerg is already there. I can see just 2 others with Brad and 3 more coming towards tower, and look at the zerg that kaineng had. Wooden wall + 3 cata’s and loads of support from the zerg, how much can one do to farm badges from that zerg? You down 1 or 2 u got 15-20 to rez their team mate. Wishful thinking mate, wishful thinking
What do you consider ‘night’ (plz include time frame and time zone) and how many players in all of wvw at ‘night’ do you consider ‘decent’?
