Guild Wars 2

Cool thread, ill be sure to pass on your concerns about WvW to the PvEers of SoS next time they set foot in WvW…

you practically walk up there…its a hill…i don’t see how its considered an exploit.

We’re now on blackgate and looking for more people still!

Also we sometimes have Ernesto from Ginnunga on out vent, its a very nice treat.

Zero queue time > All.

BTW, looking at the score, IoJ and Blackgate should be giving each other high 5’s in the field and double-teaming SB at every turn.

Not. Going. To. Happen.

We seem to dislike BG with a passion… and the feeling is mutual. Which has made this weeks match-up awesome fun despite the boring endless SBI zerg, we have had a great battle with BG. Guilds like TRF (hahahaha) and DIE (more laughs) have tried to swutch servers midweek to steal 2nd place, but we’re not about to roll over and let that happen……

This is only the beginning, wait until we get our full warband over, NO DOOR SHALL BE SAFE!

Here’s some questions, if you answer yes to the majority of these, you should checkout TRF.

Tired of running solo or in a guild where you don’t know anybody and you feel like just another number, wouldn’t you rather a smaller tight knit guild where you know everybody?

You have a thirst for PvP and like to dip your victory fries in the tears of your enemy’s?

You’re looking for more tactical play?

You enjoy looking at rainbows and are a fan of what rainbows represent, you sometimes think about attempting to taste the rainbow?

You enjoy rolling zergs with limited numbers?

You like what you see in the following video, are thinking, wow that ele is like amazing and I want to be lead to GLORY by that guy.

SETTING SAIL FOR JADE QUARRY!

Balidore.2790:

Agreed with Rawkzter and SKYeXile^^

but yeah… on the main subject here… I don’t care if it’s DAoC’s system, or whatever it may be. but it ‘has’ to be something, and not gear. There needs to be some form of character progression that gives people reason to grow their character.

Also, wanted to point to correct what someone about said about RA system making it ‘kill’ based. It’s not, you’d get alot of points for healing, defending, attacking…. etc etc. And u couldnt mop up a buncha points from zerging either, because if u out numbered them and won, u got diminished returns on realm points. Vice Versa, if the out numbered side came out on top from skill/tactics, they’d get more.

If GW2 had a similiar system, I’d imagine you could get points for nearly anything, dropping siege… using supply… killing… healing, etc…

i think its fine if you do get points for doing everything, but the majorty of points should come from kills. and it should be no everybody gets full credit for a kill…it should be a fixed amount and whoever gets credit on them should then split it. so if you zerg 1 guy with 100 people you get (say he’s worth 100) 1 point each. dont want to encourage zerging. there should be an incentive to zergbust people with a small group.

The renown i would have brought in last night, o, m, g.

Rawkzter.2160:

You know what WvWvW needs? The ability to read an invader’s name. Make things personal!

needs killspam too, so i can be that guy again.

im so totally fine with having extra power from ranks, but some other options would be:

Ranks including titles
Different gear skins at each major rank
More skills or elite skills unlocking. (its not power, just versatility)
availability to deploy mobile way points or spawn points like aion.

and if you wanted to go power:
+talent points for ranking up.
add a realm ability slot
have the whole realm rank tree/trait system.

But yea there REALLY need to be a player incentive to continue PvPing.

Loving been on JQ.

The maps are a total clusterkitten, its an upgrade over warhammer sure since theres more than 6 points per zone…but like yea…they’re just not big enough, theres not much room for strategy, you’re right, people just roll back and forth all-day between points. the maps need to be far larger, with larger distance between objectives..and have more of them too. Prettymuch on every map, each server has its default keep near their spawn and yea…its pretty boring from there.

A map IMO should have a home staging area then like 10 keeps on it. then have spawn points and/or waypoints that are capture-able or mobile deployable spawn points like aion or planetside.

sent PM’s to Alodar and Zynthetic if you could reply in PM to me please.

You guys dont have server forums do you?

I thought team legacy already quit and are just playing for fun now, why they be in my thread?

Titan Alliance shall be ceasing operations as of today. We’ve done what we set out to do, and now it is time.

There are many reasons for this. These range from guilds retiring from the game, guilds moving on to a new server and new challenges, ANet not addressing server transfers and queues and, most importantly, Titan members wanting to help make the game more competitive for the community.

The goal of Titan Alliance was to be the most dominant alliance in Guildwars 2, and that goal has been met. The guilds of Titan all worked together and earned an undefeated 30-0 record, while fighting at the top tier virtually the entire time. Titan was a perfect 7-0 vs the servers of Ascension Alliance and 7-0 vs Stormbluff Isle.

These are the incredible guilds that made it happen: ARMA, DIE, CND, DROW, DTD, ELITE, GIN, LUC, PRX, RMA, SOA, SYN, TRG, TRF, ULTD, YAKI. Champions all and brothers in arms.

Those guilds from Titan that have not retired nor transferred are in the process of deciding their next move in order to seek new challenges. But we feel that, for the good of the game, it is time to move on.

All the members of TA want to thank the community for many epic battles. Hail to you all!

I for one welcome our new PRX overlords.

Without a solid backbone, you can pile on as much flesh on as you like, you’re still going nowhere.

I’m not sure what queues you’re referring to, I have instant queues on all borderlands, even last night in EB… Anyway, im sure the next week will prove interesting.

Why I ask your guild and server? maybe im just a relic of the past now and believe in some sort of honour in video gaming, but I still believe that if you seek to formally challenge an alliance of guilds you should state who you are to offer such a challenge. Maybe that’s just the elitist or dougebag in me speaking there.

My point about 15 years of MMOs in leadership is a point of experience and not quality, i don’t cite my experience or playtime as a form to highlight my level of skill or my guilds level of skill, we all know how idiotic that argument is…anyway… its well known how awesome we’re already…why would I be point that out? The point was that through experience we have seen history, we have seen how things playout time and time again throughout history, we can predict scenarios and outcomes based on prior experiences.

Anyway, theres no real point responding to you further, not when you cant detect blatantly obvious sarcasm, "and have never even internally discussed transferring, why would we? we’re WINNING! "that’s sarcasm… OF COURSE WE HAVE DISCUSSED it, its been discussed every day and at every meeting. In TA, in guild…. NOBODY likes the current situation. But until anet sacks up and does something to stop people from following us, there’s no point in transferring off henge.

Id love it if you could see our private discussions Sherlock about transferring, i think you would stop posting about this immediately, but we’ll let you continue posting, its amusing you repeating discussions we have had since the day we got on henge and some even before TA was conceived. I would like say we were 100% right about everything, but we greatly over estimated how highly oceanic servers would be ranked, the general resolve of other oceanic forces, their commitment to WvW and their numbers. Leaving henge as the vastly superior force in the oceanic timeslot.

It looks like some people here should be Alliance leaders, you seem to have everything figured out . Some of us in TA with over 15 years of MMO experience, mostly in leadership positions have been unable predict these scenarios and have never even internally discussed transferring, why would we? we’re WINNING! You guys though… you have the answer to fix PvP game wide for GW2, in one swift move! TA transfers to kaing.

Sounds like a great plan. Ill smooth it over with my guild now.
“Hey guys, i know lack of PvP and opposition even in the high brackets have been getting you down, so we have a solution to this. We’re going to transferring with TA to kaeing, some random dude on the forums challenged us, im not sure who he is, he doesn’t even display his guild name or server, its sort of like we’re taking advice here from a level 1 troll alt, but we’re taking up his challenge anyway. Right so back onto the transferring issue. If you thought we had no resistance in the tier of tears, this is gonna be a door banging treat! we will fight for weeks on end against the mighty doors, walls and keep lords until we move high enough to face a server with oceanic forces where we may face some resistance. In these tiers though the guilds are soft, they schedule times to PvP so we will only be fighting other players on, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday as the prime raid nights….alright cool, now that everybody is onboard with that, LETS GET TRANSFERRING!…oh yea BTW…we gotta re level the guild…we will have to do this in pve zones though as there wont be anybody even in the zones at our time to setup a oceanic daisy chain of supply camp rotating….we only have to endure this for like 2 months though, things will be sweet afterwards and with free transfers still open we couldn’t POSSIBLY have the exact same issues we had on henge…or GOM before that.”

Idiots.

Perhaps i will come ask for lessons ernesto, i do need more recruits, you seem to have filled multiple guilds by the looks of things so you seem like the right person to goto. I see no other EU guilds in TA, therefore its conclusive you’re a skilless zerg guild that needs multiple guilds to hold your massive euro zerg.

Yea SBI’s presence this week late night :/

SoulstitchMMO.1396:

Breaking TA will do nothing. Their NA Guilds are being carried by the EU Guilds. This has been proven over and over again.

Pretty much any other claim made by anyone from HoD about it being skill or structure is laughable at best.

The only skill involved was email, and maybe some salesmanship. The EU guys that decided to bite the bullet and roll on NA servers.

It has been shown that HoD can be beat around the clock, except for NA daytime.

The only reasonable request for Arenanet, is to truly make this a global game, and stop separating the EU and NA Regions.

Id like to know where our other EU guilds are myself.

On a more personal note though, as an Alliance member myself i too have hive mind overlords who seek to restrain my right to free thought, how did you manage to break free and go against the will of your overlord?

Don’t be shy, name and shame, i require the dirt.

i think if you just hit level 55 a legendary may take you some time to get…

Our zerg is yet to reach critical mass.

We also need more people for our anti door division.

Larsa.6519:

As much as this is never going to happen would be great to fight some decent competition during oceanic prime time. Yet to come across much opposition that do nothing other than fall over when you prod them.

Come to the tier of tears…. oh wait no…its the same thing… :/

@borcen, lol it makes me so sad. dancing stances, combing stuff, kiting and using practically every skill you have….
meanwhile a thief is like: 1, 1, 1, 1

I require…whithering heat.

this sounds so like warhammer, INCOMING 1 RP KILLS!

after i transfer to HOD though why would i want to go back to a backwater server?

KevinK.9182:

SKYeXile.2716:

You other servers should get some top quality Australian guilds to join you…perhaps some of the major influential guilds from WAR hey? giggles

TRF, DiE, Elite, Synapse is worth all oceanic combine. what other influential guild you talking about? Zhentil Keep?

Thats the point. All the other guilds arnt around anymore or dont have the players or core to be a major threat.

Kracin.6078:

SKYeXile.2716:

You other servers should get some top quality Australian guilds to join another server…perhaps some of the major influential guilds from WAR hey? giggles

its easy to say now, but everybody knows that 90% of the population of large organizations are set where they are, and its a feat to get one to move to a new location. there isn’t an unlimited number of players, and there are more than 2 servers that want these guilds to join them.

other peoples problems never seem that bad when you never have them

You’re obviously an American arnt you? I don’t think you caught my subtle point.

You other servers should get some top quality Australian guilds to join you…perhaps some of the major influential guilds from WAR hey? giggles

Nick.3926:

It was over because there was nothing the other 2 servers could do to compete with HoDs 24 hour activity netting them +600 points per tick during the night/morning hours.

On HOD, we call this pacmanning.

ITS A RAINBOW STAFF

WHY WOULD YOU NOT WANT IT?

Umm….no… what really happened is SBI is nolonger willing to pay their protection money, they’re now paying for their insolence.

TsukasaHiiragi.9730:

That would probably work, if Anet actually implemented it ~ for now though, at least in the near future all of the WvWvW match-ups are going suck for alot of players. Failing that, they could always shut down WvWvW during off-peak hours.

If you want that sort of game, go play world of tanks, preferably in Africa. Here we fight 24/7.

@sirevanac, have you tried spinning to win?

The 4th empire lives again!

Kracin.6078:

Chessrook.8643:

^^ Also you can spend 10 minutes trebbing a wall of a keep yet not get any credit for the capture unless you’re standing within the cap circle.

this is another balance issue.

if i had a nickel for every time i am helping keep enemies off of the people who are killing the keep lord and turning the keep, and then miss the cap circle by 2 seconds and get absolutely zero credit or exp or karma for the cap……. id probably have enough to get some mighty tasty lunch.

the problem is deeper than just support not getting credit. for a game where you can get full credit from 1 hit on something in some cases… it is pretty unbalanced in terms of rewards for participation

yea i dont get it, they give full loot and xp to anybody who breathed on somebody, but not any loot or XP to the person helped that person breath….anyway…

yea its not hard for a guild to pool gold, even with a 20 member guild, 5g each…easily done. 200 members…50s each. :/

Siege is for women and sheep shaggers, men charge out and smite their foes face to face.

i think the drop rate is okay…not perfect. but i have 10k kills, iv got about 1650 badges…not including the countless ones im sure iv missed.

But yea..ele…so i get heaps in comparison.

I think the drop rate was high in beta, it was nerfed at one point in live but im pretty sure its decent again now.

Yea i was so disappointed when i viewed it.

Im an ele, you want some spare badges bro?

Houdii.2563:

I heard HoD is currently funding bad players on JQ and SBI with gold to create terrible commanders that lead your zergs to failure. Discuss.

The new plan is to packup and send them these xRx guys. The greatest commanders and guild ever! problem is i dont think they will leave until SBI is first though…and with them leading i cant see it happening now that we have them on henge.

yea it greatly depends on how you and your group plays….if you play with a group.

This classy word is foreign to me.

I do so enjoy waking up and having a hearty breakfast…of tears.

Anyway looking forward to tonight when you guys forget that the server comes back up after the restart and we pacman you with a +500 score.
