Guild Wars 2

Dear Anet,

Please move reset back to Friday nights (EU)

Friday night is a socially acceptable time to be merry and drink alcohol while playing WvW. Your proposed change means I will have to start drinking at midday on saturday and. Thanks for promoting alcoholism.

Regards,

A sober(ish) cat

This is a matchup related thread so it will be deleted.

From what I saw though, deso was farming SFR earlier today in SFR garrison. Meanwhile BB capped most of the borderlands.

When SFr palyers rage quit from getting farmed they took a break and another commander tagged on.

SFR then took revenge on deso by attacking their garry for next few hours. While deso defended BB maintained control of the borderlands and had high tick.

Here is where deso made their fatal mistake, they blobbed to fight against SFR.

To win they should have split into small groups and ninjaed everything before the tick, to maintain high score.

Regarding boon duration:

With 2x Monk, 2x Water, 2x Traveler rune, and with 20% boon duration from food it WAS possible to reach 95% boon duration.

During one of the ready up streams a few months ago, the developers were chatting about how they had recognised, some players used a mixture of rune sets to gain a specific effect.

This boon duration combination was mentioned and on the stream the devs agreed that they liked how players had achieved this build and didn’t want to drastically change it.

My question is, will we be getting a rune set that compensates for this loss? As I see it the max possible boon duration you can reach is only 65% now.

Is this a valid and balanced nerf? Or are there plans to introduce new runes to allow us to maintain 95% boon duration.

Regards,
Concerned guardian.

The real problem is that Burning Oil doesn’t work. I have never seen anyone successfully use Oil as a defense. You will live a fraction of a second trying to use the Oil. Therefore trebs, catas, arrowcarts, are all used as an alternative to Oil.

It really doesn’t make any logical sense that attacking your own gates with a treb or cata is a good defensive ploy, if anything attacking your own gate with siege should bring it down faster.

Oil very effective against rams if you have the full oil mastery, for the refelct projectiles bubble. Maybe this change will make more players invest in the oil mastery.

Hello wvw’ers.

As some of you seasoned, wvw’ers maybe aware, there seems to be an increasing prevalence of karma trains in the smaller hours of WvW. I and many others have noticed this, playing on the server SFR and we decided to experiment.

The goal was to find out just how dedicated members in the karma train are to get in the tower/keep and get the the lord.

I hope this video indicates just how dedicated some players are (usually upsacled) to pay no regard to enemies and go straight to the lord for the bountiful world experience and champion baggy.

In conclusion, I think the anti-karma train tactics and be vastly improved.

Discuss.

Hi, im looking to expand the list of recipes I have for Chef crafting. I am most interested in the Recipe for Pot Of lemongrass poultry. It is listed on the TP for quite a high price at the moment, but my question is… Is there any other way of obtaining it, other than purchasing it off the TP?

I would have thought there is a vendor somewhere I can buy it, or even a mystic forge recipe?

Thanks – bewildered chef.

Awesome night on SFR border too! We defended garry against simultaneous attacks from vizunah on many gates, then had awesome 3 way battles between garry and bay.

Huge props to our commander Handarand for guiding the SFR pugs, and the EB guild raid.

I say LNM from vizunah with impressive numbers tonight and PRV. Can’t remember which piken guilds where there. So many targets!

Fun fun fun fun fun weekend, keep it up for the rest of the week all =D

Im not sure how this proves a “double team”

I’m guessing this screenshot was taken from last weeks matchup when SFR was red. Also from this screenshot we are holding stone mist with a waypoint and are ticking for 355.

Last week was a fun week from my view, with lots of open field fights with Piken and Vizunah guilds, I had a blast!

Nice fights on SFR borderland tonight. Was fun to fight SFRJ guild from Piken. Sadly we didn’t see much action from vizunah, I hope you guys are still fighting!

Please do not remove evade from the attack chain.

Please add a blast finisher to Maul (See guardian hammer skill NO.2 Might Blow) or to hilt bash.

Holsen.9526:

Can you do something to stop this guy. He is emptying Bay on SFR map atm.

Huh, you’ve got one of those guys too eh? We had a guy building troll siege and draining all supply in our EB keep over the weekend. Annoying as hell aren’t they! Sorry I don’t recognize the name, maybe some others do. I think you can just report him for greifing?

Trolls like that are really annoying!

The best are Asuran Mesmer raids… 10 asura mesmers have been mistaken for a 40 blob before =D

This is the type of thing beasty is talking about, when 6-8 of us roamers try to take a camp and vizunah notice…. =D

Maybe time for a makeover beasty =P

Epic defense of Lowlands keep on EB this morning!

Keep it up SFR!

Never mind that, even more GCK have woken up! Time to wake up ourselves!!

GCK have woken up, and were having some fun fights with them, its 1-1 chaps!

Its 2.34 am, I still got a lot of fight left in me!

No Vizunah you and your golem army won’t have our Aldon’s Tower!!! =D

Keep it up SFR, its turning out to be a great Sunday night!

Congrats to the Vizuniens and Pikeneers for making us tick 0 points. Ouch!

I hope we can muster up some moral and keep battling hard the rest of the matchup.

You need to post more. People like you need to post more and drown out your warriors. I know there are a ton of good people on SFR. You’re proof of that.

Most kind of you Jayne, just a humble pirate doing my best.

We bounced back pretty well after the 0 tick, lets keep pushing tomorrow SFR!

Congrats to the Vizuniens and Pikeneers for making us tick 0 points. Ouch!

I hope we can muster up some moral and keep battling hard the rest of the matchup.

What a crazy night, and its only midnight! Just had a crazy 3 way skirmish in our hills on vizunah map. First the vizunah omega golems knocked on the north door, then the piken melee train came charging in.

Congrats to piken for finally taking it. You guys have some really impressive players on tonight!

Maybe we can get a waypoint in there by tomorrow and we can do it all over again!

Hope everyone is still having fun =D

This is how a normal MU thread looks like usually. Respect!!

And that was us with our open raid people. This late into the night its very hard to keep up your numbers with guild members so we go open tag at this time. That hills cap was really awesome. Both SFR and VS showed some real fighting spirit out there. VS for actually trying to push us out of the Hills by fighting us and not making this look as bad as it is always does. And SFR for not sitting behind their fortified keep and actually try to push us out of the keep and not even once. It was a very satisfying end to our raid.

Best Regards,
SFRJ

Just doing my best to keep spirits up, morale is a little low for us pirates =P

Those pushes out into you really hurt though.. All you could hear was “Clink clink clink” of the hammers raining down on us =D

Never mind Armour repaired and ready to fight again!

Hey Jayne I got a new rule to add to your drinking game =DDD
Take a shot for every Vizunah omega golem you seen!!! This will get you very very drunk. Be warned!!!
Check out how many golems they brought to greenvale on PSBL. Our poor spawn camp!!!

Awesome fights tonight, I’m knackered after this reset. Thanks to the friendly vizunieans and pikeneers who gave me some duels in the gvg arena while waiting in queue!

Highlight was trying to fight piken and vizunah in our own garrison! I hope we can hold it for a few ticks this week!

There are ways to easily counter rams. Just takes the right seige and the right placement to counter them.

Kvothe.1467:

I’m sure its been asked before, and I understand that this is something that would take a long time to create/implement, but it would be nice to know if this is something to look forward to in WvWs future. At least new BLs. Changes like the ruins is not what I’m talking about. I just want something completely different, maybe with a Crystal Desert feel to it or even Ring of Fire type of terrain.

I found you, I found the person who took the user name I wanted before me

In regards to your post.

I think the maps, as they are laid out are fine. By this I mean where all the towers, camps and keeps are in relation to each other.

It could be refreshing to have the maps “reskinned” perhaps at the start of each season.

As a wvw’er I don’t care much for the living story line, but perhaps reflect what is going on in the living story in the WvW maps, at the start of each season?

Hello Just want to throw in my experience on this issue.

My game runs fine during the day and later at night. But during the evenings 6-10pm I have 1-2 minute skill lag, and often cant even “connect” to login server.

Please not the game runs FINE outside of these Hours.

I also notice that during these hours the GW2 forum and website loads incredibly slowly.
